Dr. Feelgood & the Interns brought a smile to my face. They had a hit, sorta, when I was in high school. "Bald Headed Leena". That would be around 1963.
Not a stupid question. I've heard there's no such thing. But I digress. Ounces are ounces. Whether it be lead or chicken feathers. 1 1/8 oz. of #8 shot is the same as 1 1/8 oz. of #1 buckshot.

Thanks, Trigger!! That's exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate it.
Forum: Muzzleloading.
Very similar but still not what I was after. The cartridge I'm looking for was not loaded into the firearm. It was simply a way to carry the powder and bullet in the field, usually in a cartridge...

Yep. Like the other feller said, I found some lube grooves in the local auto store. Right next to the muffler belts. I told them they probably wouldn't sell to good unless they put them over by the...

It's amazing to me what we neglect to see coming over the horizon. I've been watching this trend for some time now.
I believe it's due to several factors: demand, politics, covid, etc.

I've been using firewood to heat my house for 34+ years. My test for moisture content is, throw it in the woodstove - if it burns, moisture is low. If it doesn't - it's too wet.

I have a post-64 Winchester Model 70 in 30-06. Having a terrible time finding a scope mount which will give the proper eye relief for my scope. Would it be reasonable to shorten the stock by an inch...
