Thanks for writing what I thought! Yes, the military is prepared to upgrade to .270 ballistics. Why? The .223 served well enough for over half a century. This reminds me of a historical...

My Prayers have been sent. I suggest you get another doctor to check things out, if you think you are not getting good diagnosis. In my case, PSA Cancer, I wasted about 2 years with a...

I am glad you got better PSA numbers now. When my PSA went to 5.5, I went to see a specialist who "dropped the ball!" For over a year, I saw him quarterly, my PSA numbers kept going up...

You will like cast boolits in your Garand and 03-A3s. The bolt guns are not too picky while the Garand needs enough powder to cycle the action. I use cast boolits in all my many military...

Prayers sent. I hope you recover fully soon. My heart doctor told me last year to slowdown and stop splitting my firewood. At age 79, I asked him if I needed to get rid of my 25-year-old...

Thanks for this video. I had 6 uncles in WWII, some Marines, some Navy and some Army. In 1960, in 10th grade History, Mr. John Hepp was my favorite history teacher. He was a 1st. Lt. of the...

Thanks for your kind reply. No, I do not hate the Mattel, I just prefer to risk my life with better guns. I got my first civilian purchase M1 Garand in 1964 while home on leave. I liked the...

You have a clear head for figuring.... The wave of the future is hundreds of drones, some armed and some dummies, to draw Iron Dome response missiles. Just like before WWII, some nations...

Thanks for the reply. No, not everything is a big game gun, BUT, why send a "Boy" to do a man's job? The M14 was a far better gun back then and now. A Matel is a better gun for folks that...

Plinking is a fun way to spend a summer afternoon, but in the real world, some of us prefer a REAL gun! I think many folks in love with the 5.56MM do not realize it is NOT legal for big game in...

More hype, in my opinion. In 1965, they issued us the Matel 16 (aka M16), and the hype was, to wit: "The bullet goes so fast, no sight change is needed; the powder burns so clean, cleaning is not...

I love the Krag action and both my rifles are "as issued." My (1896 dated) carbine has a long, sad, history. Twenty years ago, I found her on the used gun rack for $65.00 down state...

Thanks for the trip down memory lane back to the 16 gauge. My first shotgun was a 16 gauge Winchester M37 single barrel in 1958, when I was age 13 during my first hunting season. In...

Excellent range results. What .30/40 are you shooting, rifle or carbine? I have two rifles and a carbine and all like my cast boolits. At age 79, I can still use iron sights, but my...

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

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.
