  1. Past hour
  2. Projectile covers everything that can be loaded....all shells are projectiles, not all projectiles are shells. Your last point is why I can honestly say that I have no guns in the house. No guns, no howitzers, no mortars.
  3. Curiosity plays a big part of it for me. How much interchangeably is there within a frame group. Multiple barrel lengths for a favorite frame would be a common example of parts swapping. Maybe 7.5” and 5.5” barrels for a pair of C Masons or running a favorite pair of 1860 Army frames with 1861 barrels and cylinders just to see how they feel.
  4. Regarding the point at which it is "too late" to award penalties under the following rules: SHB p.4 SHB p.32 ROC clarification The highlighted sections in the above quoted rules mean that penalties for those violations may not be assessed retroactively to any previous stages. ALSO: If illegal items/equipment have not been noticed by the time the shooter has left the firing line after shooting a stage, it is too late to assess any penalties for that particular stage. Corrections must then be made before shooting the next stage. Same applies to any failure to have the required items for a specific category (e.g. male BW shooter with no spurs). Any violations noticed after the shooter has cleared all firearms and left the unloading table may not be penalized.
  5. Another Facebook find. In the film Casablanca’s “battle of the anthems” scene, some actors seem truly moved as they sing La Marseillaise. Is what we see on the screen genuine emotion captured on the first take, or just good acting repeated over several takes? Thanks for the A2A; I did a little digging into this a few years ago after hearing Ebert attribute some of the emotion in this scene to how many of the actors were affected by the Nazis. Here’s the detail I was able to find: Paul Henreid - ‘Victor Laszlo’. Austrian, half-Jewish, left Austria in 1935 as an avid anti-Fascist. Conrad Veidt - ‘Major Strasser’. German, married a Jewish woman and fled Germany after the Nazis took power. Had it written into his contracts that he would only play Nazis if they were villains, and donated much of his income to anti-Nazi causes. Trivia: was the highest-paid actor in the movie! Peter Lorre - ‘Ugarte’. Hungarian, of Jewish descent, was a star in Germany but fled after the Nazis came to power. S.Z. Sakall. - ‘Carl’. Hungarian, was a star there and Austria but fled after Hungary joined the Axis in 1940. All 3 of his sisters died in the concentration camps. Madeleine Lebeau. ‘Yvonne’. French. Fled the Nazis after the fall of France, had only arrived in Hollywood a little before filming. Trude Berliner. ‘Baccarat player’. German, Jewish, fled Germany after the Nazis came to power. Lotte Palfi Andor. ‘woman selling diamonds’. German, Jewish, fled Germany after the Nazis came to power. Helmut Dantine. ‘Jan Brandel’. Austrian anti-fascist, was imprisoned in a concentration camp: was able to flee to the US due to family influence. Marcel Dalio. ‘Emil - Croupier at Rick's’. French, Jewish, a star in French cinema, married to Madeleine Lebeau above. Fled with her, got by in Hollywood via bit parts like this. [Edit]Thanks to Karen Kinsey for pointing me to several more: Louis Arco. ‘Refugee at Rick's’. Austrian, fled after the Nazis came to power. Ilka Grüning. ‘Mrs. Leuchtag’. Austrian, fled after the Nazis came to power. Ludwig Stössel. ‘Mr. Leuchtag’. Austrian, fled after the Nazis came to power. Hans Heinrich von Twardowski. ‘German officer with Yvonne’. German, fled shortly before the Nazis came to power. Wolfgang Zilzer. ‘Man with expired papers’. Married to Lotte Andor (above). American-born, moved to Germany at age 4, of Jewish heritage, was able to make it back to the States at age 36 in 1937. Curt Bois. ‘Pickpocket’ (above, in the middle; he’s warning the Englishman about pickpockets, while picking his pocket). German, Jewish, fled Germany after the Nazis came to power.

  6. Scorpion Tabasco, I would order from the website if I wanted it. I doubt local stores would carry it around here.
  7. Thanks Slim, you bet I will. Just go the the website and hit the contact us form or shoot me an email at tony@outlawbullets.com. T Bone
  8. Okay! Found the Mexico Lindo on Amazon. Several varieties are available. It’ll be good to try them out again. I remember the black and the red, but I also ordered three others.
  9. You all realize the OP is looking for a video that he can download to his computer. Everything posted so far is only available if you have an internet connection.
  10. Could have been because movie sets were only so big. The less a camera panned the less set you had to build.
  11. Some excellent 300 grain .452 options. All depends on how well a levergun will cycle them. The Speer 300 grain .452 jacket soft point is amazing... if you can find them. The Hornady .452 XTP 300 grain is awesome. And very available. Some great cast options as well... be interesting to what COL the X would cycle reliably.
  12. These guys swore by their Electrolux.
  13. I just took a gatherGANDER at the sale flyers of the two stores I generally shop at. One has a standing rib roast for $11.99, and bone in ribeye steaks for $12.99. hmmm But it is both organic and Angus beef, which may have something to do with why it costs so damn much. The other store has standing rib roast for $6.99. But you have to buy $20 worth of stuff which cannot include the cost of the roast. Also can't include gift cards or Western Union or cigarettes or lottery tickets or anything else on a long list. I noticed that neither store has prime meat. Both of them have choice. Kind of hard to get prime rib from a choice roast. But, I have been known to be picky like that.
  14. Can’t find the Mexico Lindo here. I have tried it and liked it, but I don’t have an outlet for it.
  15. Yep, been doing it for years. I meant the 300 grain .45 Colt being an ear worm…or would that be a rabbit hole? Either way, I now have to look into this.
  16. I was young once. I wasn't very good at it.
  17. Ima and I still remember the outstanding Venison you cooked for us at RR-BAR, many years ago. Still the best we ever had!
  18. Match grade rifle bullets use that profile. Far more stable at long distance than flat base. Especially in the wind.
  19. I have been working through by last order of 180g TC 44 cal and been looking for a new vendor as it appears Penn has closed shop. I would take a couple 1000. Used to be able to get a 70lb pack from them. I am sure my mail man hated them.
