  1. More like a brass shoveler.
  2. Ode to Billie Joe: Mississippi Mystery Lingers for 50 Years Location of Choctaw Ridge and the Tallahatchie Bridge BTW the bridge referenced in the song is long gone.
  3. I guess it needs repeating again but when it comes to measuring BP especially when it comes to the amount of powder in historic cartridges There never was and never will be a standardized method for measuring Black Powder by "volume grains". Currently there are only 2 standardized measurements for powder. For weight it is Grains For Volume it is Cubic Centimeters If you were to take 1 cc of every currently manufactured Black Powder of a particular grade and weigh them; you would discover that the actual weight would vary. In some cases by several grains. Throw in the fact that case volume varies considerably depending on how the case is constructed and that there is NO way to say definitively how Black Powder was measured prior to 1900 for any given cartridge; attempting to duplicate any historical cartridges' load is an exercise in futility.
  4. For me it is the fact that on my current firearms the red dot sits too high, making me continually hunt for it. Guess I have been shooting iron sights for too long. Unfortunately, none of the manufacturers of the semi-autos I currently own offer a slide with a milled cutout for an RMR optic. I know I could send out my current slide to be milled but if it turns out I still don't like it then what do I do?
  5. After the way they have treated the firearms industry, why would anyone give them their business now.
  6. A Charles Bronson / Jill Ireland movie I had never seen. Came into it in the middle but what I've seen so far is not too bad. Henry Silva and Michael V. Gazzo play bad guys.
  7. Difference between APP and Real BP APP 38 specials 3 cc under 7/8 oz of shot Real BP 44 C&B with 25 grains by vol. .357 heavily compressed loads 147 gr bullet 4 CC under 1 oz of shot
  8. I only shoot real BP at big matches. For monthly matches I shoot APP. Here are some photos from the 2023 MS State. Fire and Fall Back shooting Frontiersman Some Pics of me. shooting Frontiersman This photo was taken at Trailhead I was standing in full sun shooting my 87 with 60 grains of real BP and 1 oz of shot. APP is fun but it's awfully hard to beat the BOOM, smoke and flames of real BP
  9. I use an adjustable charge bar. A MEC #37 bushing should get you 35 grains by weight (3 cc) of 3F APP
  10. Scheels sells Shooters World Black.
  11. When it comes to the Home setting on any of GPS system, set it to a location a few blocks from your house. Preferably to a business parking lot if there is one close by.
  12. Expensive solution when you are talking a 1/2 pound or more of powder.

  14. When shooting Plainsman pistol calibers in your rifle are a disadvantage. The reason being you have to load the cartridge into the chamber and the smaller the cartridge the harder it is to manipulate with one hand. The smaller case is lighter so it can be harder to get the case to drop out of the chamber after firing. Shooters with good manual dexterity can grab 3 to 4 rifle cartridges with their off hand and load them into the rifle rather quickly. Cuts down on the number of time you have to reach for your belt.
  15. APP and Shooters World Black are the same powder. Easy to use and can be run through any powder measure. Compared to real BP or Triple 7 it is a really coarse powder. 3F will run through most powder measures. 2F not so much. In cartridge guns avoid compressing the powder. Just fill the case until it is just touching the base of the bullet. My 12 gauge load is 35 grains by weight of 3F APP, Claybuster CB0178 wad, 7/8 oz of shot, STS or Gun Club hull, any shotshell primer. Takes down KDs no problem. You can use less powder but then the hulls don't seal the chamber and the blowby will cause the hulls to stick in your SXS. When left in the bottle for long periods of time it does tend to clump. I have a mesh screen in the bottom of the funnel I use to fill my powder measure. It catches the clumps so I can break them up and it also catches the little desiccant bags put in with the powder to adsorb moisture.
  16. Fixed it for you Fart Assisted Take Off
  17. I do the same. If a session requires 2 days I'll leave it overnight.
  18. I like both. The key to both is proper cooking. Key to flavorful beef is staying away from the ultra lean cuts. It's the fat that gives beef it's flavor.
  19. PSA DO NOT, REPEAT DO NOT use a SoClean or any other ozone generator to clean your C-PAP machine, hose, and mask. Ozone corrodes plastics and foam. This will cause your machine to fail prematurely. Use of Ozone sanitizers is what caused all the Phillips C-PAP machines to fail. I clean mine in the shower. Take it in with me once a week. Easy Peasy
  20. I have the Resmed Airsense 11. Per Resmed there is no DC adapter available. However the DC adapter for the Airmini has the same connector and output specs as the AC adapter for the Airsense 11. Been using it on my Airsense 11 on every camping trip with zero issues. It also doubles as a backup Incase the power goes out.
  21. My late wife lived with for A-fib 19 years. Controlled it with drugs (Cardizem) and blood thinners (Pradaxa). In the end, having A-fib did not cause her death.
