    Catshooter--

    Rest assured, Buckshot never brings ANYTHING aimless to the Burrito Shoot. Tomorrow's festivities allegedly involve handguns, so I concocted some New And Improved Mondo Accurate Can't Be Beat Loads for the S&W Model 16-4. THAT'S RIGHT, I'm bringing the Mid-Caliber Magnum. I know Rick will have that (expletives deleted) K-38 along for the ride, so I had to step things up a notch or two.

    The posts about the pigeons cracked me up. They sound a lot like Buckshot's crab lice remedy--shave one side, and ignite the other--then stab the survivors that escape the inferno with an icepick as they flee across the shaved open ground.

    True bizness--my agency found one of those foo gas arrangements set up in a marijuana grow site a year prior to my assignment to narcotics. Several have been found in grow sites around CA over the years.

California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.

    ..............My K-38 won BTW, in case you'd like to have it I used a load I cooked up that works real well. You take a 148gr WC and stuff it into a 38 Special case with a mild roll crimp and use 2.7grs of Bullseye. No payment required for the load data. Just trying to help

    Real front-end/high-tech load work, that. Hairball.

    The two loads I ran yesterday in the 32 Magnum both used the RCBS 98 SWC in Starline cases with WSP primers--7.0 grains of 2400, and 3.5 grains of SR-4756. Both shot very well over the bags, but the wheels came off once I stood up.

    One of our members here--Big Slick--is doing some really intrepid loading of this caliber in a Ruger SP-101. 115-120 grain boolits to 1400 FPS........not sure I want to try that bit in the K-frame S&W. I had always thought the caliber has been under-developed and under-loaded due to the original platforms housing this caliber--H&R small-frame revolvers. The RCBS Cast Bullet Manual has likely the most extensive load data in one place I've ever found for this caliber, but is dated and is aimed at these same H&R revos. We have at least 2 and often 3 ackowledged load levels for the 45-70......there's no reason a similar doctrine couldn't be applied to the 32 Magnum.

    Al,
    Maybe you need to get Buckshot to compete using that old .577 Snider next week. I think that had a piece of bent wire held on with a hose clamp for a front sight when last seen. Thats only slightly better than the Asperly's sights. You could sneak over when he's not looking and move it some. Of course, muzzle velocity is so low that he could run down range and push them slugs back on the right track...

    That's more like it. I was afraid this thread was getting far too on-topic, not nearly aimless enough...

    .................While I was delighted in the Snider carbines 5 shots into 5" at 50 yards (which is match grade accuracy compared to before) I'm still not excited about entering it into the BUrrito Invitational. You have to remember, each of us has a personal dollar bill to lose, but we stand to win a whole $4-$5. I don't think the Snider is quite up to it at this point

    It's 22 rifles/iron sights next week.......methinks Buckshot is being righteous as to the Snider, wanting a bit more R&D before risking his whole dollar with the hyena pack that assembles on Tuesdays for burritos. We can be a surly, unforgiving lot--and if we sense a weakness, a feeding frenzy ensues. Law Of The Jungle gets no plea bargains on Tuesdays at Inland F&G, no sirree.

    In a vain attempt to steer this back toward topicality, it wasn't the S&W being "aimless" yesterday.

    It puzzles me, that there were some deriding the "6" topic, while this aimless topic continues on without negative comment! I guess the technical aspects of the Asperly are more fascinating!

    I thought the topic of 6 was easier to follow.

    Lots of people probably wish they'd bought an Aimless back when they were only $5,000.

    No, it's just as pointless. But there is a history of topics like this being published in some gun magazines as 'humor'. I guess I just have no sense of humor, but I fail to see what possible interest grown men could have in doing this. But I'm sure that I (and everyone else) do things that lots of other people don't understand, so I'll just put on the tin foil hat CarpetMan sent me and ignore it...

    Good story! The closest I came to foo gas (USAF in Thailand) was seeing a demo on TV back home. One of the networks (only 3 at the time) showed a setup in country. When set off, you heard a VNA troop give out a big "Numba ONE!". I agreed...

    Buckshot, with the shortage of primers now a days do you have any plans in the works to convert the Asperly Aimless to match ignition ?

    John, the saga is incomplete... Buckshot has yet to reveal his choice of cast boolit specifically designed for the Asperly Aimless. I'm dying to know if he chose the hollow point, hollow base or the hollow-side boolit? That wasp waisted hollow-side looks wicked to me!

    I have it on VERY good authority, that Santa Claus carries an Asperly Aimless for his protection weapon against unruly elves on Christmas eve.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.
