Now this is weird.... I have lived under the KOMA transmitting towers for many years. There were three of them until they were taken out by the May 20, 2013, tornado that walked up 4th Street here...

This is a short post on my BIL's computer to advise Ric that the M/L arrived the same day of the tornado. Got the M/L then the tornado. Lost home (squished), but everyone OK. Will be off line 'til...

Any thoughts about Cimarron's Plinkerton .22 LR cal., made by Chiappa Firearms?? I'm considering the purchase of one for my Grandson.

This was originally posted on January 11, 2007. I'm still shooting the same load in this SMLE. Clean up consists of two dry patches thru the bore & a wipedown.

Wonder what the guys at the airport would say if I pulled up in front of my Champ with a Huck's Starter....

Lyman #311291 @ 181.0 grs in WW with 33.0 grs of H4831 gives right at 1825 fps out of my Springfield 840's 18" bolt action carbine & is very accurate.

"Human-Bigfoot War, Oklahoma, 1855 ".... I'm surprised that no one has bothered to "Google" this from my post #56. It makes for some pretty interesting reading.

Human-Bigfoot War, Oklahoma, 1855

I use 12.5 grs. of Unique with 350, 405 & 425 gr boolits in both my Ruger #3 & original TD Springfield carbine. In the Springfield with the 405 gr boolit it chronographs right at 1100 fps. That was...

So, it's the 22nd already & I'm still here in Moore, America. That's 996 miles & 16 hours & 15 minutes drive from Big Rapids, which I can't do by tomorrow morning.... Sorry

At the airport I frequent we have a Skeet Range at the south end of runway 17 & talk "guns" all the time. At the gunshop where I hang out there are several pilots & the "flying" stories outnumber...

Double Hmmm....

I'm supposed to be in Grand Rapids at that time. If I can make it up I'll be the one in a white, Ranger with Oklahoma tags.

Like popper does, I use 6.0 grs of Unique behind the Hornady 80 grain HBWC in my Springfield 840 with no filler for a very effective rabbit & squirrel load.
