augercreek,
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...

DG,
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...

MOCO31,
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...

I served with a Swiss lad whose dad was issued a K31 and served in the Swiss Army in WWII. His dad said he was at HQTS one day when a German general showed up and chatted with the dad's...

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...

Yes, they built the Tioga Dam. Ralph's is gone. I do remember his business of years ago. I live 5 miles out of Mansfield toward Wellsboro.
Be well.

Guys,
Great responses! I carry the .22M/20 in my Ranger and on the John Deere 65 HP tractor. I see coyotes, chucks, porkys, etc. while farming and have a stock shell holder for a selection of 22M...

Half Dog,
Sir, you asked a logical question and got very logical responses. What is your need? If it is home defense, I respectfully say, "Get a better gun." Why send a Boy (410) to deal with what...

Thanks for the kind reply. Everyday on other Sites folks ask about shipping problems at Post Offices. The DMM says it all about Mailability of items. First, most postal clerks never read...

Thanks for your research on shipping restrictions. We all need to know there are restrictions. As a retired Postal Inspector, I know the USPS restrictions on shipping brass. Unprimed, you...

Mr. Flintstone,
I cast all my boolits from OLD wheelweights with a dash of Tin and drop all from the mould into a bucket of water. My bullets are Hard, gas checked and Alox lubed. I get no leading...

Keep at it! I finally found great Cast Boolits for all my military arms. How HARD are your boolits and are they gas checked? What lube do you use? How fast are you sending the boolits downrange?

Ryan,
I got my first Lee Enfield in 1959 and collected more after that. The .303 is very closely akin to our .30/40 Krag round. Both calibers like the Lee 185 C312 RN and IMR 4198 and 2400. For J...

The best 26 years of my life were spent in NH and I hunted deer annually in Berlin, NH. Here in rural PA, the .22M/20 is a great tool for farm business. I cannot start my Polaris Ranger...

Thanks for the great reply. Yes, I have been blessed with a great wife, several wonderful dogs and a farm that needs daily attention. Farm needs are easy to fix with a .22M/20 gauge. I never...
