[XL650 Odd Brass deformation - Sizing Die]

On a 550 the spring needs to be adjusted properly for the decapper/ sizer die to function properly. The one that holds the case in the shellplate. We don't have the problem with the larger calibers but do once in a while with the 38 sp and more often with 32s.

One I should have mentioned is the Mosin Nagant rifle. With factory ammo it will shoot and hit what you are aiming at about as far as you can see.

Was reading this thread and went over to the local Cabellas today.  The gun I wanted was sold but they had this little fella.  I have some of that modern made Brazilian .41 ammo so I figured what the hell and bought it.  When I got home and checked it out more closely it was sort of a good news bad news situation.  The barrel address was unusual as it was stamped into the side ribs rather than the top rib like most other Remingtons I have looked at and owned.  Upon further inspection it dawned on me that it does not have an extractor on the left side.  Turns out it is a very early 1st Model.  That may be good news.  However this means this one was made in the late 1860s of low quality steel/high quality iron.  The Brazilian modern made smokeless ammo has more pressure than the old BP rounds so not safe to shoot in this early model.  It is in better shape than the photos tend to show and was a hell of a deal for $190.00 plus tax.  Everything works and the top hinge (a weak point in the originals) shows no sigh of cracking.

 

 

There is a cowboy named Chance on Cascity that has a question for you about an article you wrote concerning Uberti Burgess rifles.

P-38. Manufactured in 1944-April, Sprewerks. This was inaccurate until I slugged the barrel and started using .358 sized 38 special RNFPs in it. Great shooter and very accurate. Also looked like it had not been used.

Since retiring, I've been going to One Medical. They're owned by Amazon, but I started going there before they were. I'm not sure what type of Dr. I have there, but since I'm not an "At Risk" patient, I never see him, but I see his P.A. She's great! ANY question or concern I have is promptly discussed. If she says "Let's try this", and I don't think it's right, she'll try what I want to without hesitation. 

The last year or so my legs have been giving me trouble. Having seen a couple of posters here saying that Statins are bad, (high cholesterol) I did a little research with Dr. Google, and found that Statins can cause leg pain. I contacted her, and she said to stop taking it and see how I felt. I did, and they felt better. When I saw her this Tuesday, she asked about it, and gave me a new prescription for something that's not a Statin. 

Bottom line, she doesn't have the usual "I'm a professional and you need to stay off the internet" attitude that many do. 

What was subscribed to you instead of a statin?

[MLB fan banned indefinitely]

Wow.  Yes, the fan went too far.  Heckling the players is a time honored tradition, but very personal verbal attacks are too far. Did the fan know his mom died 8 years ago or was he just throwing out some standard mom jokes and jabs to heckle the guy?

 

However, a lifetime ban is a bit much.  Kick him out of that game if he is causing a scene., sure.  But if we start giving lifetime bans because a fan was heckling a player, there are going to be a lot of people that will no longer be able to go to games.  If you are a professional sports player, you need to grow some thicker skin.  If the players are distracted by the heckling, then the heckling did its job, right?  

That kind of behavior has no place in sports. NO ONE should do anything that could potentially effect the outcome of a game if they are not a player or part of a team.

[My personal new match record!]

It would keep your gun cleaner if you annealed them. I don't on the pistol caliber stuff but I usually shoot middle of the pack loads.

kR

[No shootin' for a spell]

That's a lot more bandage than I had after my TF surgery. When I did start shootin I decided I would give it a little caution just to be sure. For my right hand I (I shoot GF) I loaded the lightest bullets and load I figured was safe and for my left I thought it should be a compensation so I loaded 158g full load BP 357's. Posse was entertained for sure.

 PS If you want to borrow a 22 revolver I have a couple you could use although I will say my light 38 loads had less recoil.

I like grits, several different ways. Don't really care if somebody don't like em the way I do. One of my favorite ways is cooked in a bowl with an over medium egg and butter on top with several slices of spicy Andoille sausage mixed in the whole works.

I always have train wreck pins with me in my cart, I forgot to bring them to the banquet, I had planned on passing them out but forgot to bring them. I am thinking everyone in Posse 15 except for two shooters deserved one.

I still have my train wreck pin you gave me at Wartrace several years ago at my first Outlaw match. I earned it and will never give it up. I also have never shot anything but Outlaw since.

 Thanks Tom B.

We can’t necessarily shoot at night, but you can dress in your best costume if you choose. We are a little more relaxed on the dress code for this match…BUT if you are most relaxed in the nude, then you’re AT LEAST required to dress as a PG-13 version of Adam/Eve!!! 😂

Don't forget the handle.

Take the stock off and check to see if it is being rubbed by the moving parts. It will show a shiny spot. We had two of them when we first started and that was the problem. Easy to fix and solved the problem right away.
