Wayne,
Excellent post. At my last church service I preached on the 27th Psalm. For all my life so far, the 27th spoke for me.
Be well.

Hillbilly,
What is "Rat Shot" that you used? Was it a reload? If so, what. I handload #6 or #7.5 shot for my farm needs. Be well.

I am no expert on radiation treatments, but I declined the 5-day per week for nine weeks (OLD) treatment over 5 days over 2 weeks. Keep asking good questions about your treatment.

Lots of smarter folks here will assist you in your quest. Are you a muzzleloader as I am with a dozen favorites from .45 to .58 caliber? It is interesting to know how fast a BP projectile...

Excellent report! I have been that route and today my PSA is 0.01 after radiation; the 5-daily treatments. My story began 6 years ago when my family doctor told me he had concerns my PSA...

I joined my local gun club the day before I bought my nearby farm in May 1988. I am a past Board Member and continue as a club member as a senior for $15 per year. During the week I am all alone on...

My 20 Ton, or whatever, Tractor Supply splitter can be either Horizonal or Vertical. I use the Vertical ONLY. The cheaper horizonal-only splitters will kill the user after lifting ALL logs onto the...

Battis,
I retired at age 51 in 1996 and came home to my 60-acre farm in Northcentral PA. I put a nice woodstove in my living room and cut trees in my 30-acre woods. I burn 2-4 cords per year. I...

My prayers have gone out. I was stunned to see how quickly the bridge fell. With all the ship traffic, why were there NO Pilings to divert any ship from hitting the bridge supports?...

I did not mean to sound confrontational or to start a disagreeable post. I was looking for thoughts for my next church service from fellow believers. I did Hospice care for 5 years and met...

Many folks shoot ramrods Downrange! Just keep your head in the game and it will not happen. I never shot a ramrod down range. Whatever?

As a Seminarian, I check into this site often and am sad there is no Holy Week Thread. I will do a church service his Friday. I am sad to see nothing about Holy Week here. Why?
Be well.

My favorite PA Grouse gun is a 16 gauge 870 with IC 22-inch barrel. It worked well in the late 1990s and now we have no grouse due to massive avian predators.
On a pump gun, a 22 or 24 inch...

In my opinion, hard boolits are better. I drop ALL my cast boolits from the mold into a bucket of cold water. I size, lube with Alox and get no leading and great accuracy. All my rifle and handgun...

redriver,
Great Question! Perhaps you should ask the maker of your firearm such questions. I cannot know all the parameters around your gun and ammo. Sorry.
Be well.

Wayne,
Thank you for the update. Either way, I think the Swiss had the right rifles. In 1961 I bought an M1889 rifle for $13.99 at the local gun shop; I was 16 years old. I could only afford two...

Well said! I would have said the same thing, but you got it right from the get go. I wonder why the OP "picked up" these clips if he did not have a need? I have no need, as my stash is big...

I let all my rifles, both rimmed and rimless "tell" me when to stop resizing brass reloads. Rimmed cases like the .30/40 and .303 are easy to accommodate merely by backing OFF on the...

JR,
If you get acceptable accuracy, there is no need for a mirror-shine bore. I have some military surplus arms with dark bores with strong rifling. I get fine accuracy out of them all. Most of my...

Thanks for the reply. If it was Tioga County, then yes it was the village of Lambs Creek and nearby farms that were flooded back in about 1973. I like the Savage 24 and have two guns; a...
