    Powder charge accuracy/long range

    Re: Powder charge accuracy/long range <span style="color: #3333FF">"..how can you be sure that you can "hold" the difference?" I don't understand the question. ??</span> My question was poorly asked. I have marveled for years at the efforts of hunters at the range worrying about that last...

    Powder charge accuracy/long range

    Re: Powder charge accuracy/long range Limited to 300 yards at my club, I cannot answer this for my self. So, I ask here instead: At longer ranges, say 600 to 1000 yards, how "much" difference does ±.1 grains variation on a 45.0 grain load show up on paper in ideal conditions? And, how can...

    Maggie’s Doctor Visit

    I finally went to see my Doctor... After he finished his examination he looked at me and said, "I can't find the exact cause of your problem, but it's probably due to drinking too much". I looked at the doctor and said, "Gee, I'm sorry to hear that, Doc. I'll come back when yer' sober."

    Maggie’s Strength Training for Seniors

    Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute...and then relax. Each day you'll find that you can...

    Maggie’s 100 MPH Goat

    **** Shamelessly Borrowed from Another Site **** Two W.Va. rednecks are out hunting, and as they are walking along they come upon a huge hole in the ground. They approach it and are amazed by the size of it. The first hunter says, "Wow, that's some hole; I can't even see the bottom. I...

    Gunsmithing 40x build threadd

    Re: 40x build threadd B. Melick, if you plan to re-use your factory barrel, you may want to talk to Chad first. He cut and re-chambered my factory barrel. After truing the receiver threads and cutting the factory barrel threads oversized to match, there was not enough meat left on the barrel...

    Gunsmithing 40x build threadd

    Re: 40x build threadd What began as a modest project of cutting the barrel to 20", installing a Nesika type bolt release, and installing a tactical bolt knob on the original barreled action has grown into a full blown rebuild. First, the barrel would not come off without risk of bending the...

    Re: For Fans of Lewis Grizzard and Georgia Bulldogs I haven't read much of Lewis' work but I think I will now. Mostly what I remember is hilarious book titles: "Shoot Low Boys. They're Riding Shetland Ponies", "Don't Bend Over in the Garden, Granny. You Know Them 'Taters Have Eyes." Sad that...
