    Splitting Firewood

    I've been working my woodpile for the last few days. I split what I could with a maul but had to rent a splitter for the rest. Too many knots and tough grain. When running the splitter today I got to remembering my first encounter with one. The old guy down the road asked me if I would help him...

    Tanks in the midland

    My son in law drives cross country for UPS. He showed me a disturbing pic today he got from another driver. The driver is a retired Army Ranger and he sent the pic to Paul and told him that he is on 24 hour call for activation. Whenever he crosses a state line he has to call in. The pic is of a...

    The Ultimate Dangerous Game Rifle

    Something I have been wondering about for some time while reading the various posts on the virtues of DG rifles. What constitutes the ULTIMATE DG rifle? The perfect all round DG rifle? Bolt action, double, caliber, brand, model? I won't mention price because for this discussion it is...

    Trajectory

    I had a thought about trajectory: The common theory is that trajectory is a smooth arc from muzzle to target. Is that really true? Could it be that a bullet wavers up and down along that arc due to atmospheric changes? As a bullet follows trajectory it rises and drops. Along the rise to apogee...

    Copper prices increasing

    Just read an interesting article in the newspaper this morning. It says copper prices will probably be jumping in price due to the demand for electric cars. Copper is used in the motor windings and wind turbines. Mfg demand is predicted to increase 2 to 3 million tons by 2040. Might be a good...

    MRC 30-06

    I finally took it out to the range the other day for some sight in shots at 25 yards. Once I got on target my first group was 1 1/4 inch center to center for five rounds off the bench. My next 3 round group came in at 3/4 inch center to center with two touching and the third round about 1/4 inch...

    Primers for 404 Jeffery

    I just got some brass for my 404Jeff and want to load some up but can't find any info on primers. Do I use large rifle or magnum? I don't want to use LR and be underpowered and I don't want to use LRM if I don't have to. I'm appealing to some of you reloading gurus out there for some info.

    Well, I did it

    For some time I have been battling the pros and cons of buying a 404 Jeff. The angel said I shouldn't and the devil said ,"Go for it." After searching every website I could find without success, I went for it and called MRC. The call was to check on the delivery date for my 30-06 I bought at the...

    Where Are You From?

    I read a very interesting thread the other day about what members do for a living. I think it would be great to see where we all hail from: country, state, province. Bet we have a REAL United Nations outfit here. I hail from the great state of Nevada in the USA.

    Shooter Syndrome

    This is a tongue in cheek piece. I think I have an affliction, malady, or something. Whenever I look at a clock I see calibers instead of times. Y'know--223, 357, 416, etc.. I've been told it affects hunters and shooters and can be quite pricey. Seeing calibers all the time causes the victim...
