Sarcasm font

[btroj]

357 Maximum and I have decided that purple should be the official sarcasm font.

this one in particular.

Anyone have problems with that?

[Love Life]

I have a problem with it.

Next question....

[btroj]

yeah, like I'm gonna take that from a guy in a funny hat

[Love Life]

Funny hat=shade.

[btroj]

so you keep your head where the sun doesn't shine?

Isn't shade defined as an area with no direct sunlight?

[Love Life]

Something like that!! Why purple? Do we have to paint our nails before we can use the sarcasm font?

[btroj]

Why not? I don't want husker red, yuck.

Purple is a color of royalty and sarcasm is a royal pain.

[Love Life]

Good point, but I'm not going to let that stop me from arguing. I have cabin fever.

[btroj]

Take 2 ASA and call me in the morning.

[Bzcraig]

I don't care what color it is as long as we have one

[geargnasher]

Is this anything like purple tights?

Gear

[Sweetpea]

Priceless...

[Rangefinder]

Hey, leave my tights out of this, unless you're looking for some. Isle five, next to silly hats--I'm surprised you missed them.

Well, I suppose it would be like breaking wind in a room with a deaf person--they simply won't be able to appreciate the full spectrum of the occasion, but they'll catch on soon enough. ;)

[Bullshop Junior]

Funny hat=shade.

That don't say much about the rainbow shirt...
hat is rainbow as well actually.

[Bullshop Junior]

And yes I did go there considering we both seem to have cabin fever

[DRNurse1]

Anyone call the Mods to try to get the smell-a-vision font uploaded? THAT would really change this thread.

[ultramag]

357 Maximum and I have decided that purple should be the official sarcasm font.

Anyone have problems with that?

Isn't that a sarcasm color and not a sarcasm font?

[Bullshop Junior]

Yea. They should do comic sans along with the purple.

[472x1B/A]

It might as well be purple. Illinois has that stupid purple paint law. It allows Illinois landowners or leasees the option of using purple paint markings on trees or fence posts on their property as a "no trespassing" notice. That's cute.

" The "Purple Paint Law," designed as an alterrnative which Illinois landowners can use to protect their property from trespassing, took effect on Aug. 22, 2011." www.dnr.illinois.gov/hunting/Pages/PublicAct97-0477.aspx

Lets put some sparkles in that paint so the coon hunters can see them post at night time and the coyote hunters can see'em while it's snowing.

"pur - nr -ple " accordding to Uncle Si.

[472x1B/A]

I would answer that question but I don't want to get banned for life from this great site.

[Col4570]

Some leave themselves open to sarcasm by wearing Big White Hats,Fluffy Fur Chaps,Check shirts and Snakeskin Boots.I would not ridicule them since it is national dress that everyone wears on that side of the Pond.Thats why I can,t abide sarcasm.

[btroj]

Gear

You own purple tights? Don't they clash with that hat?

[Bullshop Junior]

Royal....as in a royal pain in my @$$?

[btroj]

Illinois leads the way in so many ways.
What happen to the Land of Lincoln?

It became the land of Obama

[btroj]

daniel, are you married? If not, you don't know that kind of royal.....

[btroj]

Bill, a fertile mind like mine needs sleep. You have any idea how much energy it takes to come up with all this. Sadly, not much. It is what I do.

[Czech_too]

I tend to shy away from sarcasm, but am open to constructive/friendly criticism.

[btroj]

that makes me blue

I am sure it made you see red

What it really does is makes me that much happier that I don't have a dog.

[300savage]

the best sarcasm is not realized until some time later. how much later depending upon the acuteness level of recievee..
the trick is composing your remark on a level that is compatible to the level of intellect of the recievee. to keen and you have wasted your caustic wit by sailing it over their heads where it will never be seen nor appreciated.
too simple and you have placed yourself on the same level as the one you are wanting to sting.
which is worse actually than not saying anything at all for you have only proven your stupid, but with a pissy attitude.
so,, with all that in mind and to reduce the risk of wasting some of mybetter work perhaps we could incorporate a few lighter shades of mauve...
just so i can give a few of the dimmer bulbs on here a heads up if you will that i am sending a brilliant jab their way.
its a chore sometimes dumbing things down around here, so i am all for it.

[Garyshome]

Where is the purple button?

[bangerjim]

PURPLE is PERFECT!

Purple is the official color used by cities and munis for "recycled water" piping for irrigation. Non-potable.....but processed thru the ****e plant. We have a lot of it down here in AZ. I guess it is used to warn the illegals from drinking and bathing in the free water! (I have been told the color purple is in the Spanish language and no bilingual label is required!)

But there is a whole lot more of "it" in blue states and in DC! (just not processed)

NOT sarcasm......only the facts, Jack.......only the facts!

Purple is perfect, even though does have historic liturgical meanings.

[jonp]

Wow, this thread went downhill in a hurry. lol

I propose GREEN as in SOYLENT GREEN as much of the sarcasm here is not what it seems.

[Harter66]

Only problem I see is that I cant see the purple w/my rose colored glasses...

[Rangefinder]

Your open display of our unique abuity to wast bandwidth, (while it is an awe inspiring sight to behold) underscores the fact that you have become more proficient with the keyboard than with your rifle.
I propose a challenge.
A postal shoot between the posters in this thread. The worst loser gets his avatar turned purple for a week.
LOL!

[bhn22]

Well, you can tell it a casters forum. A single proposal, followed by several pages of analysis.

It's what we do. Kind of like having hiccups.

Postal shoot? Hehehe... post the rules!

[RayinNH]

Postal shoot? Hehehe... post the rules! Someone will shoot holes in them.

....and Purple is a Royal color too. Just sayin ^

it is also the color your thumb turns when smashed with a hammer

If you have to explain sarcasm, you've already won, move on :)

Done. 700yd targets, no warm up.

[Pb2au]

Done. 700yd targets, no warm up.

I'm in. I just have to find 700 yards without trees, cows or farmers in the way.

[Pb2au]

Or cars, buildings, more cows, unharvested corn, cows, cops, cars, airplanes waiting to take off,

[btroj]

A postal shoot?

Is that where we shoot at a stamp? Where we go into a business and shoot the supervisors for no apparent reason while in a fit of rage? Where we use a gun to dig a hole under our porch to hide mail we decided not to deliver?

Postal match leaves so much to the imagination. I would say I am UPS for said match almost anyway you package it.......

[ultramag]

oh yeah, like y'all would pay any attention.

Does this mean that you'll be shooting in the postal match now???

[AmishWarlord]

A Obama sticker on your car makes you look smart!

[bhn22]

Something like that!! Why purple? Do we have to paint our nails before we can use the sarcasm font?

And only post while wearing our pajamas with bunny feet?

[Rangefinder]

Done. 700yd targets, no warm up.

I'm in too, but have the same darn problem. 700 yards here without trees or a darn mountain in the way is called an interstate. :D

So you want one shot on target at 700, no warm-up, closest to x has the pie? This ought to be interesting... :D

Some of us are shade weak. I'm red - green shade weak. Not color blind.
Purple doesn't exist for me. What I see is a blueish color that doesn't look right.

Until a few years ago, I didn't know khaki was supposed to be -A- color. In a stack of khaki pants I see a range of shades. I can sort them from darkest to lightest. I also didn't know why people would wear pants with legs of different colors.

On the good side, grass is green because people keep telling me it is - bunnies are brown. ;-)
I can also tell if Round Up is working, the next day or the day after.

Sorry guys, I responded before reading the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pages.

[MBTcustom]

I was joking about the postal shoot. Especially because I doubt Gunloadmaster has time to mess around with changing a person's avatar to purple or such tom-foolry, but since we are on the subject, I would like to propose a Christmas match between us friends here. Something that when spoken of would seem to be sarcasm, but is in reality, fact.

Many doubt a handgun shooter's ability to achieve accuracy at longer distance, but I am personally related to a man who used to consistently hit a 6" gong at 100 yards with a standard 1911 pistol (Colt MKIV, with a collet bushing. No other mods).

I propose a 100 yard pistol shoot.
Handguns only.
Cast boolits only.
10 shots only.
Target will be a standard piece of 8.5X11 paper. Whoever hits it the most times wins two pounds of solder from me (63%tin, 37%lead).
if any shooter here, manages to land all 10 shots in a 4" circle at 100 yards, I will give him 5 pounds of solder, and 10Lb of WW lead postage paid. (touching does count, so use your 45. LOL!)
All groups must be posted here for all to behold and admire.
What do you say, my sarcastic booliteers? wanna do something fun?

That isn't sarcasm, it is fact.

Before new years day. (ie, sometime in 2013)

[btroj]

I'm out. I don't know that I will even get to the range before then.

I help create a font and now I'm the odd man out this sucks!

[btroj]

maybe I will get even by using colors that are hard to see

[MBTcustom]

OK Brad, lie right down here on the sofa, and tell us when you plan to get to the range next.

LOL!

[MBTcustom]

Would it help if I sent you some loaded ammo?

[MBTcustom]

perhaps a snow plow?

[btroj]

maybe?

I need to get back to shooting a handgun at longer range. Haven't don't that in years. I just don't know what the weather man has in plans for me.

[Hamish]

A Obama sticker on your car makes you look smart!

Cousin Jacob, is that you? When did they let you out of the ordnung stocks?

[MBTcustom]

OK look, this is a purely informal competition. Like a Christmas shoot should be. I just thought that there should be some prize to get folks to the firing line. What do you fellers suggest? Blunderbusses at 50 paces? LOL!

FWIW, I havn't shot any of my handguns since summer, so I'm good and rusty. Really easy to beat.

[btroj]

Spit wads across the dinner table......

[btroj]

Tim, I always enjoy a friendly competition. I also think that anyway we can get more people out to shoot is good

I plan to shoot a bunch of handgun at the indoor range when my daughter is home for Christmas break. It doesn't get much better than that. Where the bullets hit has little to do with the success of that endeavor.

This is just for fun. Any hold, any rest, any sights.
It would be a downer if somebody brought their scoped 'Tender out and shot a teensie weensie group though. I'd prefer it if we limited the handguns to revolvers and semi autos, but if the 'Tender is all you got then by all means belly up to the bar!

[MBTcustom]

Foreign standard paper is actually bigger than US standard.
They actually have 3.174 extra inches, and they need all the help they can get LOL!

[Sasquatch-1]

I think the rules should be a 2" .38 spl. (no 357's) fixed iron sights fired off hand using your weak hand while covering your strong eye using a mirror with your back to the target at 200 yds.

Is that sarcastic enough for you?[smilie=1:

[MBTcustom]

Not hardly.

Cast boolits only.
Black powder only
Iron sights only
nothing larger than 17 caliber
Targets will be Levi Garrett snuff can lids at 200 yards

What's funny is, I actually have a rifle that would fit in this description, but it's missing the triggers! LOL!

It doesn't sound like any rules have been finalized yet other than cast boolits, handguns & a sheet of paper.

I am in for this postal shoot, but some questions remain: Bench, supported, off hand two hands, or off hand one hand (strong side or weak side), and I suggest rim-fire and center-fire classes. Do you classify TC single shots as pistols?

Cast on!

[Col4570]

BNE,nice one,excelent bit of sarcasm.
Regards.
PS You should see those guys fight in battledress.they are ferocious.

[Col4570]

Perhaps all competitors could wear scented Bootlaces.

[MBTcustom]

Like I said, I think that TC pistols would be cheating, but if its all you got, then just wrap your nose pickers around the bang switch and get to work!

This is just for S&G, in the true spirit of walking outside and having some fun on Christmas with a new handgun. If we all had a clump of dirt the same size, that would work just as well.

This is shooting any way you feel comfortable. We will be shooting a standard piece of paper at 100 yards. No do overs, no erasies.
Go to your favorite shootin hole with 50 rounds of your best ammo (as in cast boolits made by you) and one sheet of paper.
Fire ten shots and see of you hit the paper. If you miss all ten, then do it over till you connect with the paper.
If at any time in a 10 shot string you tag the paper, then as soon as you finish that string of ten, you're done. The target must be posted here with whatever you got in that string.
If you fire all 50 shots and none of them manage to connect with the target, then you're done, and I probably wont feel alone anymore LOL!
Now, the important part:
Whoever can draw a 4" circle somewhere on that paper and touch or cover all ten boolit holes, I will send him 2Lb of solder and 10Lb of COWW ingots, because that person is a dam good shot in my book! That's first place.
After that, second place goes to the runner up and that person will get 2Lb of solder delivered to their door.
Third place get's a hearty cyberspace slap on the back and personal PM from me informing them that they got 3rd place! WooHoo!!!
Those are the rules (Did I miss anything?)

Again, I don't want any TC pistols unless it's your only option. The spirit of this postal would be better served by you hitting the paper once at 100 yards with a keltek 380 than stacking a 1" group with a scoped single shot handgun.
Other than that, any caliber you want, any hold you want, any rest you want.

Obviously, any target that has more than 10 holes in it will be disqualified.

[Rangefinder]

I just need to harass Tim some, he needs it. I figure if we get him hot under the collar it will help keep him warmer in the shop.

[cbrick]

Well he did say no T/C's, ok, I'll leave them in the safe. He said any sights and the XP wears an 18X Leupold so it qualifies. The XP has a 15 inch barrel in 6.5br making it a handgun. It's also a mid-grip set up for one handed shooting from Creedmoor.

So what's the big deal?

[bhn22]

Rick, you must have missed the "40 Caliber" & up rule that was posted in white font in the original post. These new font colors can be tricky. 35 cal was excluded so your FA Silhouette gun won't make the cut either.

However, if you like your guns, you can keep them. The President personally assured me of this on TV. He seems sincere and knowledgeable.

[Rangefinder]

Well, y'all can get all fancy-shmansy as you want... I'm STILL gonna do it with an old 3-screw Black Hawk in 357... Probably go with a snappy 357446. Could go with a hot 356402, but I haven't decided yet. So get all goofy all ya want--I'm still gonna "class" ya... :D (Notice I didn't say school ya, but class ya. It's all about those pearl grips, ya know!)

[cbrick]

Hhmmm . . . I'm confused then. Without going back through a 100 post thread wasn't the whole purpose to see what a handgun could do with boolits? :veryconfu

But . . . :kidding: I sold that XP several years ago when I got sick, didn't think I'd ever shoot again, then I got better.

And had an empty safe. 91048

Rick

[btroj]

I think Rick should be required to shoot from 300 yards. Lefty. He can't shoot until someone tells him to "send it".

Thankyou Goodsteel for the fun.

Well Bill, The originator of this here world wide handgun boolit shootin championship and chief head top dog honcho for winner take all did post the following.


Obviously, any target that has more than 10 holes in it will be disqualified.

Bill, Bill, Bill. What are we gonna do with you. 91128

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

That is neat. Reminds me of US. Check out those mallets hanging on their belts to load the pistols.

Oh, Those are Mallets ... lol

Must be the new math they teach now or were not counting the two in the ruler. :mrgreen:

Don't count on me winning, this blind old guy has a bit of trouble seeing two things when shooting, the sights and the target. Still fun but no longer competitive.

Rick

[btroj]

Dude, those aren't holes in the ruler, those are part of the printing on the ruler.

Tim, I think I know why Rick doesn't shoot silhouette anymore.....

[bhn22]

I counted 'em too. I couldn't figure out what the ruler did, but it must have been bad!

91146

[btroj]

I think the ruler served 2 purposes.

It shows the size of the target to verify it met the size requirements.

It also shows which members are capable of enlarging the photo to see if those were holes.

[btroj]

Come on guys, do you really think Bill could center up a ruler like that twice?

No you have it all wrong tights make things turn purple! Dang it I walked right into that didn't I?

WOW..cabin fever has sat in hard and it is not even Christmas yet. I suggest a few of you need to go pull the lever on your presses for a bit. I just got done loading 550 rounds of 35REM with RCBS 200's along with full brass prep and I feel great.

Seeing as how my TC's would just be really really unfair....does an 8inch DanWesson model 15 qualify for this postal match?

Well actually, I clearly stated that the groups were to be fired into a blank piece of standard paper at 100 yards. So you're completely disqualified on account of that.
But since it is the sarcasm thread, and Christmas and all, we'll let it slide on by. LOL!
Darn good shootin there Bill. Those four in the middle are scary!
High five!

I just shot for fun. I couldn't even find the paper with the 1911 45. First it rained then hail and wind.
So Where is everyone else's target? ?

Seriously, you did great Bill.
You must have just been waiting for an excuse to pull the trigger. Dam that was fast! LOL!
As it stands right now, you are the best shot, and will receive 4lb of solder and 10 lb of COWW ingots as you are taking 1st and 2nd place.
Anybody care to challenge the title?

[cbrick]

I haven't even made it to the loading room yet, then I need to talk John (winelover) into shooting at his place. He has 100 yards there.

I have a question on the rules . . . Do targets with powder burns on them count?

Only if you have a 99 yard barreled handgun.

My wife is jealous. She want nail polish in this finish.

[btroj]

Am I the only one who thinks Bill is smart enough to not put his ruler downrange?

Not only is he that smart he also knows he isn't a good enough shot to avoid hitting his ruler should it be downrange and we all know he is way too tight to buy a new ruler.

[MBTcustom]

I didn't follow the "Blank Paper rule" so please don't count me. Not thinking & painted the 4" aiming dot.

You're in like flynn Bill. This is totally informal, and had you had a piece of paper out there your group would still be all over it like a cheap suit. However, if you want to take another run at it, then go for it!

I can't believe you fellas are actually taking that MOD seriously about shooting a handgun at 100yds. Everybody knows that handguns are designed to shoot 50 feet or less, and beyond that boolit placement is unpredictable and would bounce off of the target anyway. Leave the real shooting to guys with rifles.

Didn't want Bill to feel like he was shooting alone, so I went out this morning and put 1 on paper with the 1911. Then did this with the SBH, 44mag, 275g mountain mould boolit. open sights, sand bags across the hood of the truck. measured 11-1/4" without shooting though the yard stick.

[DRNurse1]

Something like that!! Why purple? Do we have to paint our nails before we can use the sarcasm font?

Hold it a second...when did we switch from powder coat to paint!!! Am I missing a page (chapter, the whole blessed thing) from the playbook again.

[DRNurse1]

I was joking about the postal shoot. Especially because I doubt Gunloadmaster has time to mess around with changing a person's avatar to purple or such tom-foolry, but since we are on the subject, I would like to propose a Christmas match between us friends here. Something that when spoken of would seem to be sarcasm, but is in reality, fact.

Many doubt a handgun shooter's ability to achieve accuracy at longer distance, but I am personally related to a man who used to consistently hit a 6" gong at 100 yards with a standard 1911 pistol (Colt MKIV, with a collet bushing. No other mods).

I propose a 100 yard pistol shoot.
Handguns only.
Cast boolits only.
10 shots only.
Target will be a standard piece of 8.5X11 paper. Whoever hits it the most times wins two pounds of solder from me (63%tin, 37%lead).
if any shooter here, manages to land all 10 shots in a 4" circle at 100 yards, I will give him 5 pounds of solder, and 10Lb of WW lead postage paid. (touching does count, so use your 45. LOL!)
All groups must be posted here for all to behold and admire.
What do you say, my sarcastic booliteers? wanna do something fun?

Hmmm.... Mr Goodsteel, kind sir, if you insist on "joking in the sarcasm thread" please use the above indicated font and color. I am up for the postal pistol paper punch-off.

[DRNurse1]

Like I said, I think that TC pistols would be cheating, but if its all you got, then just wrap your nose pickers around the bang switch and get to work!

This is just for S&G, in the true spirit of walking outside and having some fun on Christmas with a new handgun. If we all had a clump of dirt the same size, that would work just as well.

This is shooting any way you feel comfortable. We will be shooting a standard piece of paper at 100 yards. No do overs, no erasies.
Go to your favorite shootin hole with 50 rounds of your best ammo (as in cast boolits made by you) and one sheet of paper.
Fire ten shots and see of you hit the paper. If you miss all ten, then do it over till you connect with the paper.
If at any time in a 10 shot string you tag the paper, then as soon as you finish that string of ten, you're done. The target must be posted here with whatever you got in that string.
If you fire all 50 shots and none of them manage to connect with the target, then you're done, and I probably wont feel alone anymore LOL!
Now, the important part:
Whoever can draw a 4" circle somewhere on that paper and touch or cover all ten boolit holes, I will send him 2Lb of solder and 10Lb of COWW ingots, because that person is a dam good shot in my book! That's first place.
After that, second place goes to the runner up and that person will get 2Lb of solder delivered to their door.
Third place get's a hearty cyberspace slap on the back and personal PM from me informing them that they got 3rd place! WooHoo!!!
Those are the rules (Did I miss anything?)

Again, I don't want any TC pistols unless it's your only option. The spirit of this postal would be better served by you hitting the paper once at 100 yards with a keltek 380 than stacking a 1" group with a scoped single shot handgun.
Other than that, any caliber you want, any hold you want, any rest you want.

Obviously, any target that has more than 10 holes in it will be disqualified.

Got it. Off to the 100 yd range Christmas Eve to annoy the rifle guys. Mr Goodsteel, thank you in advance for turning this thread to a positive end.

[DRNurse1]

"1/2 inch group" key? Must be on the toolbar with the font options that I foolishly decided to disable-and don't care to look for. I used to have a few handguns that performed quite well @ 50 yds and at least one that did quite well @ 100 yds but it never saw a boolit. Today's range trip was cancelled and next week I'm hunting but I'll have to try this someday just for grins. It would probably take me at least a few rounds just to get on paper so I won't be in the running for Tim's generous offer. I have a 586 that is easily capable of 3MOA @ 50 yds but it's been a long time since I was able to pull this off. I was using store-bought swaged bullets at the time, haven't gotten around to casting for it.
Hunting loads in my 45 Colt RBH might be up to it, could be interesting.

Okay, I will try again today. I am using a 12 x 12 repair target center for the 50 yd Conventional pistol target at 100 yards so I can see the target. I can get the group less than 8 inches wide but I cannot seem to hold the vertical line less than 11 inches even off of sand bags. I will switch to my target pistol with the 5 inch BBL instead of my officers model carry gun.

:kidding:


(LOL I was using the target gun but the open sights are daunting. How did Sgt York do it again?)

[DRNurse1]

I'm looking forward to the stories of the guys on the rifle range punching holes in paper with LEAD Boolits while the rifle guys can't hit the BIG gong with optics and a bipod.

I have a pistol box that is about 12 x 12 x 16 (FiL made it) and the 4 rifle guys chuckled and watched me walk down the range (100yds is a LONG way, I think I will stick to the pistol stuff), hang a 2 x3 foot blank target with the 12 x12 repair center, walk back (did I mention 100 yds is a LONG way) set up to shoot at this target (after the RO activated the range) then OHH and AHH when I put 25 rounds on the paper in fairly short order.

Yes, these are cast boolits, and yes they weight 230 grains (3x the mass you are sending downrange, rifle guy who asked), and yes that is a GI type pistol with open sights. I let him try five rounds and he missed the blank paper...must be the sights.

Silly rifle guys, I knew I could hit the paper from sand bags but that 11 inch vertical limit on this challenge got me. For SaG, I shot 10 rounds off hand after rifle guy gave up, all on the blank paper but MUCH further spread.

I will have to hand load similar case lengths and boolit weights with EXACTLY the same powder charge and try again later. I hope these guys show up.

This sure is fun!

[MBTcustom]

I'm doing my best to get to the range today. I finally got some loads made up at 12:30 last night (there's plenty of time to sleep when I'm dead).
This is for my JP saur and sohn 44 magnum SAA revolver.
So far, this gun has had trouble shooting a sub 4" group at 30 yards much less 100, because the throats are so far oversize. I modified my 429421 mold to drop throat diameter boolits (.437 :holysheep) and the cartridges just barely fit in the cylinder loaded in Starline brass. My best guess is that this will be accurate, but who the heck knows?
I lubed the boolits with FWFL, and seated them on top of 18.2gr of 2400 with a decent roll crimp.
I hope it works.

[quilbilly]

I'm looking forward to the stories of the guys on the rifle range punching holes in paper with LEAD Boolits while the rifle guys can't hit the BIG gong with optics and a bipod. About a year and a half ago I was at the sportsman's club range while the Coast Guard air crews were qualifying with their 5.6's and 7.62's all tricked up with the usual sight improvements. They couldn't seem to hit a 12"x12" target while I sat at the other end of the line shooting at golf balls with my 10" Contender 32-20 and CB's (even hitting them occasionally). As I giggled, they got red…. Anyway, I concluded that Homeland Security may need those billions of rounds they ordered.

OK, I was going to go out today and try out my new loads in the foa-T-foa managanum, but I had two walk ins that prevented me from getting out until the last minute.
I set up at 100 yards with my piece of paper, and got on sandbags. As soon as I slapped sights on the target, I knew this was going to be a disaster LOL!
The light was dim, and the sights blended into the background too well. I rubbed a piece of brass on the front sight trying to get a little more definition, but it didn't help much. I was wishing I had a file, or a tube of whiteout or something but hell, in the spirit of the match, I just decided to shoot it. I connected twice with my first 5 shots, and missed the second five.

However, I had a good time and my buddy Jason heard me shooting and ran over with his GF to see what all the hubub was about. After I took the picture with my phone, he wanted to give it a try too. I stood behind him and took a few pictures of him shooting and got this really awesome one of the 44mag doing what it does. It's funny, I've shot with Jason enough that I just about know exactly when his trigger breaks, so I was able to get this shot with my phone!

Without going back through a 200 post thread was that supposed to be a 5 or 10 shot group. I shot a 100 yard group at John's place a couple of days ago, perhaps he still has the target but I think it was a 5 shot group. I used the New model BH 7 1/2" in 30 Carbine, MP 311-410 HP PB @ 130 gr. Revolver had a Bushnell TRS 25 red dot and the dot was larger than the target so not real good but it's a group, kinda.

The group was around 3 1/2 to 4 inches high by about 1 1/2 wide but again I think it was 5 shot and I didn't measure it.

Ok, I was hoping so. I hate to get my barrel back bent into a pretzel by an angry southerner.....

I should have shot last Friday, temps were around 55. Today it was 30 but windy. I don't like windy days as the range I would use is pretty exposed.

Face it, I'm a wuss. But I'm also a warm wuss.

Very true. I'm sitting here in my nice warm office about to go to sleep because I was freezing my royal cojones off out there!

Royal cojones? King of your empire, are you?

Does the queen let you out much?

Well, I said that all groups should be in by 1-1-2014, and most folks couldn't get to the range this week on account of work and such, so any time tomorrow, is A OK, if anybody wants to try it again.
Me? I suck with this gun and it's the only one I've got, so I'm done. LOL!

Unfortunately, that doesn't mean I've got the good sense to not sell my best shooting pistol to a good friend when he begs me to.

And yes I am supreme ruler of all I survey! The head honcho! The top Dawg! The...... "hold on a second, I think Angie's calling for me....."

I'll ask John if he still has the target but even if he does I really don't need your tin or whatever you were offering. I think Tim does for his boolit bases. [smilie=1:

Rick

[btroj]

Build one? That would be some pretty fancy machine to make a revolver from scratch. Bet it would take a bit of time.

I need to get the scope back on the SRH and get back out with it. It would give me an excuse to get a scope on the 7 TCU barrel too and see what it will do. I suppose the scope on the 309 JDJ can move to a different barrel.

The idea of me trying to keep 10 on a piece of paper with irons? I might as well try to give birth.

Oh, I think Rick has one of those sneaky senses of humor.

I think he should come over and provide a few days of casting lessons......

Boolit casting lessons? That's easy, melt lead, pour melted lead in boolit mold, open mold, dump boolits, close mold, repeat.

See easy, just be sure to do it in that order.

Rick

[MBTcustom]

His avatar is all the lessons anybody needs.
It's just sitting there like a shining beacon of awesomeness, resounding the mantra: Your boolits suck, and mine don't.

If anybody asks me who's got the prettiest pictures of boolits on cast boolits, I certainly tip my hat to cbrick, and that's the honest to God truth.

[cbrick]

So Tim likes boolit porn huh? Here's few.

Tim, all that means is that he owns 10 well cast bullets. He lived in the LA area, bet he bought them from some migrant bullet caster.....

Dang, I've been found out. :???:

Rick

[Sasquatch-1]

Is it just me or has this thread changed from "SARCASM" to "HUMILITY"?

Come on sweetpea! Woop it on us! I need somebody to have done worse than me!
LOL!

OK, I was going to go out today and try out my new loads in the foa-T-foa managanum, but I had two walk ins that prevented me from getting out until the last minute.
I set up at 100 yards with my piece of paper, and got on sandbags. As soon as I slapped sights on the target, I knew this was going to be a disaster LOL!
The light was dim, and the sights blended into the background too well. I rubbed a piece of brass on the front sight trying to get a little more definition, but it didn't help much. I was wishing I had a file, or a tube of whiteout or something but hell, in the spirit of the match, I just decided to shoot it. I connected twice with my first 5 shots, and missed the second five.

However, I had a good time and my buddy Jason heard me shooting and ran over with his GF to see what all the hubub was about. After I took the picture with my phone, he wanted to give it a try too. I stood behind him and took a few pictures of him shooting and got this really awesome one of the 44mag doing what it does. It's funny, I've shot with Jason enough that I just about know exactly when his trigger breaks, so I was able to get this shot with my phone!

That isn't humility, it is reality. Tim is merely stating fact.

Ever think that maybe he is a gunsmith is because he really likes accurate rifles but needs someone else to shoot them?

Those who can, do. Those who can't build for those who can.

Whatcha say Tim?

[MBTcustom]

Whatcha say Tim?
Uuuummmm.......
Many a truth is spoken in jest?


So Rick. Those pretty boolits.
In the words of Lone Watti: "All I've got's a piece of hard rock candy. But it's not for eatin....its just for lookin through"
Are those boolits for shootin or just for lookin at?
:kidding:

Dang but those are awesome. Easy on the eyes sir. Perfection frozen in galena.

A smarter man would have used a piece of black paper so he could say he kept em all in the black..........

[MBTcustom]

Hey John, which one did you use to make that target? Was that the cap and ball revolver?

[btroj]

Uuuummmm.......

Whatcha say Tim? At least some can one or the other. I'm not sure I can do either well.LOL

[MBTcustom]

There's a big difference between shooting a lot of guns all the time and shooting one rifle all the time. I can pick up almost anything and get practical accuracy out of it, but I don't get to spend much time with just one. Kind of like a jack of all guns, master of none.
I'm trying to find a fix for this problem, and I think what I need to do is pick on rifle, and one pistol and focus on those two for a whole year. Just take them to the range with the guns I'm proving for clients and shoot them every week. The last couple years, I've been trying to keep my stable rotated, and I'm sucking wind. I'm just going to paster most of them with RIG and zero in on this 44 pistol, and the 308 rifle. Maybe that will work better.
It's tough though because I dearly love my 358's and my 45-70, and then there's the M48 I wanted to dink with, and the high standard GB, and my 1911's, and....................

[winelover]

Hey John, which one did you use to make that target? Was that the cap and ball revolver?


I shot Rick's 30 carbine BH.

Winelover

[cbrick]

See, told ya a red dot isn't for shooting groups but it did get it on the target. I'm gonna up the charge another .5 gr & try it again. That load started at 8.0 gr SR 4759 & it wouldn't even shoot patterns & the chrono numbers were even worse. Looked some better at 8.5 gr, better yet at 9.0 gr and these targets were shot with 9.5 gr. & best yet @ 1050 fps. See what 10.0 gr does. The MP 311-410 PB HP is devastating on ground squirrels.

John (winelover) was also shooting my New Model BH 30 Carbine, same boolit, same load, same red dot.

It's tough to get old, I just couldn't see the iron sights anymore so I put the red dot on it, this was the first time for me ever shooting a red dot. It helps but it's not exactly for shooting groups, the red dot is half again the size of the Bullseye on the target so all ya can do is cover it up & guess where center is. :roll:

A side note, I'm using 32-20 brass in the 30 Carbine, by water weight it has 5% more capacity & is a rimmed case.

Rick

[btroj]

Tim, know what you mean. Trying to master so many guns and different shooting styles isn't easy.

A guy like Rick who spent years shooting handgun sillywet has the advantage of having mastered one type of gun and sport.

I can assure you that I am lousy with a shotgun, trying to shoot one like a rifle just doesn't work.

[cbrick]

A smarter man would have used a piece of black paper so he could say he kept em all in the black..........

Well hey, I did keep all but one in the white! :mrgreen:

Rick

[cbrick]

Are those boolits for shootin or just for lookin at?

Actually there is a reason for the boolit porn and yes, they are for looking at. I keep a note page on each load I test, part of the info on that page is a thumb nail photo of the boolit used so I have a pic of most boolits that I have a mold for.

OK, case in point: I have always ended up with exceptional shotguns, and I guess I do better than your average Joe shooting skeet.
I don't work on shotguns, except to clean them. LOL!

[cbrick]

zero in on this 44 pistol, and the 308 rifle.

So what 44 and 308 molds do you have?

Rick

[MBTcustom]

I have one mold for the 44 It's a Lyman 421429 that I modified to have .437 driving bands, a beat up 311466 for the 308, a new 30 SIL, and a 200 grain Lee single cavity.
I'm wanting to buy a new mold for the 44, but I want to find something that works first. Those throats are huge!
