Well, I heard that a whole bunch of federal taxes were going to get a lot higher on 1-1-15. We will all get to pay our fair share. :-(

A week or so ago I cast a hundred 250 gr GC boolits for my Ruger No 1 in 9.3x74R. I finally got a chance to take it to the range today and try it out with a fairly stiff load of 5744. I was...

They do, in creeks and ponds etc., but if you go about a hundred miles south of Gonzales, you may see plenty of them. They are thick close to coast.

It is getting pretty bad (dangerous) over in the Valley. The flow of illegals, thugs, druggies etc., is starting to wash over into counties near here. It may be time to start consider carrying...

I have noticed the same trend, and it is sad. I would like a 6.5x55 Swede, but don't want to pay what they are bringing.

Can any of ya'll recommend a good gunsmith to do some work on a Winchester (Miroku) 1885 Highwall, preferably one that is familiar with the breed. One in Texas would be great.

The EPA is in the process of outlawing any type of wood burning stove. Their new regulations on stoves should be in effect within the next year. I don't think they are grandfathering anything.

You are lucky you got them so quick. The last couple of top punches for my Saeco sizer took well over a month while Larry waited for Saeco to manufacture them or something. It seems he does not...

I bought some mineral spirits the other day in order to mix up a new batch of Ed's Red. Instead of being clear, the stuff was white. It looked like it had some kind of chalky stuff in it, or...

The only problem I have had is the occasional FTF in a couple of my revolvers shooting DA. No problem with semi-autos. I think they tend to have harder cups than Federal or even Winchester. They...

Not sure if it is Texas. I heard it at home as a child. My father came from way back in the Ozarks Mts. of Missouri. He used to say a bait of this or a bait of that meaning a mess of, or pan...
