Kids are so damn cool at that age.....
Forum: Classics & Stickies
I just figured I'd end up with a bunch of sand in my pot.
Actually, I do both at once, more or less. Once I have the gun shooting near the center, then I tighten up the groups all I can, then make any final adjustments. It doesn't help my groups at all when...
Ever had a junebug land on your neck, inside your collar?

I hate to tell you this, but.......... Bullwinkle isn't real. Neither is Rocky.
My kid gets a kick out of shooting eggs, even with a .22. Cheap stick type lollipops make a neat reactive target, as well.
Simple green and a fingernail brush to rub it in.
NExt, we'll see a thread on cleaning lead and carbon out of your gas tube.

For the most part, that's just what I do. I've played with the "Ruger only" loads, but stayed 3-4 gr. below what Linebaugh tells us is maximum. I just had to see the elephant, I guess. Now that I've...

Typically, a lighter weight bullet requires a higher charge.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I shoulda worded my OP differently; my point was that the heavier weight at the same length will produce higher pressures, but I have to wonder at just how much it affects it. When we change bullet...

I never limited responses to only answering the poll.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I'm happy with the answers, for the most part; it's just the people that have nothing to add, who simply MUST complain about something that bothers me. If you have something to add, great! That's...

Sorry, next time, I'll have a poll on what's wrong with the poll.
In this thread, however, let's discuss the question at hand. When you start criticising the question, rather than offering an...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I guess what I'm asking is, which do I worry about more: case capacity taken up by the seated bullet, or projectile weight?
Also, when do I start worrying about bullets being oversized? With my...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Guys, I've wondered, but not done any actual testing to decide, so I think I'll cheat by looking at you old guys' papers:
If, like me, you're using a Keith 454424 mold, do you adjust your...
LOL. same here! Am I the only one that notices how often a gunwriter will brag about tight groups that are nowhere near the center of the target? No wonder they're always doing articles on followup...

Yeah, I s'pose you'd get some unwanted "attention", sittin' on a sawhorse next to your rig at a truckstop doin dry fire practice!

Griff,
When I went to the first mounted shoot here in Wichita, I was pleasantly surprised (shocked, actually) to not find ANY of the people you usually see at horsey events, who drive up in a...

David, (and others)
I'm not "hiding" behind anything. Pretty much everywhere I've been, no matter what the sport, there are shooters and guys that just want to look the part. It's the same...
Forum: Leverguns
That would carry a helluva lot more weight if I knew where your range was. In any event, as I'm still recovering from having my spine fused, it's a non issue.
You have neither the right...
if the labels look the same, I generally don't look too close. After the incident I mentioned, I started double checking.

Some folks are raised with a different set of values; most gun guys appreciate history, nostalgia, and their place in the world's timeline. Some are not so lucky.

Gregg,
It's been my experience that most CAS shooters aren't really shooters at all; most are just blowhards that like to play dressup and talk about all the money they spent, then go brag to...

The pawn shop is doing that because they know his friend don't have the money to pay for it, and they're gonna make money on the deal.
I'd demand to see the pawn ticket; the guy probably has...
