  1. The greatest rifle match I ever attended wuz a 1000 yd Black Powder National match at the ORSA Range in Oak Ridge, TN several years ago. The shooting wuz fabulous as we're the rifles n competitors. There is simply nothing greater in all rifledom than a single shot muzzle or breach loading target rifle " KaBoom ". If ya have the inclination ta shoot these great rifles, go for it...I still want a Petersoli Gibbs or a Sharps and I'm almost too old ta shoot em... Admiring leroy...
  2. Built one several years ago. Ammo and reloading component selection is good. Basically the same as the others without the " exotic cache ". leroy.
  3. Here ya go... Let's see how this plays out: https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/mass-casualty-incident-in-wisconsin-car-plows-through-christmas-parade-developing/ Watchin leroy..,
  4. RE.." 44Spl... Check out SG Ammo.. They had some the other day.. Very expensive... leroy
  5. The MSM and the leftist pimps that drive them on are never gonna shut up or stop their jhad against this republic until their voice is so small it can’t be heard. ANTIFA and BLM are just their thug troops. Some of them got their shadows removed from the earth here. Kyle Rittenhouse made Kenosha, Wisconsin, the USA, and the world a better place by defending himself that sad evenin. That said; a victory for civilization and the people of this republic was won when this verdict was rendered. There are plenty of billionaires and millionaires driving this jhad; not to mention those 60s hippie sons and daughters of Satan in tenured positions in academia. Until we go after them, this ain’t goin away… We are dividing more n more, and the chasm is just gettin wider… Vote n buy more ammo… leroy…
  6. Im glad for the kid and for the rule of law... I figured they thugs n MSM would intimidate the jury enough to cause a hung jury. Im glad i wuz wrong. I'm thankful that these folks on the jury had a backbone and did the right thing... I would like ta see the prosecuting attorney gone after for malicious prosecution, and the MSM for defamation n slander, but i aint holdin my breath... Buy more ammo... leroy....
  7. DING...DING.. DING ... What Mista A J. said...! Check this out: https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/11/on-the-larger-goals-of-the-left-in-bringing-rittenhouse-to-trial/ leroy.
  8. Check this out.. From the " Legal Insurrection " Blog... https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/11/rittenhouse-verdict-watch-mistrial-with-prejudice/
  9. In my view, the best of all possible worlds is a hung jury.. I could also go for the trial judge calling a mistrial. There is no way this kid is guilty of anything other than bad judgement and misdemeanor discharge of a firearm... His life is already ruined. That said; I think he did make the world a better place. He did, in fact, do Kenosha and humanity a favor by takin out the trash; but he has paid a heavy price for it. leroy. leroy.
  10. What Mista Greg said.. There ain't no " Rainbow Stew "... Since we've believed in our " heart of hearts " that fossil fuels are bad, the answer is nuclear; not solar nor wind... That presents a great " ethical conundrum " for the average " environmentally conscious " child: " Do I embrace a technology ( . the electric vehicle . ) that runs on the power source that has the potential to incinerate the planet and pollute for millions of years; or do I continue with these ghastly carbon emissions ?"... It is, as the great " Dr Teeth " of Muppet Movie fame quipped: ".. a very heavy narrative of epic proportions "... HEHEHE. laughin leroy, the amateur philosopher.
  11. The " electric " thing is just another approach to picking the consumer's pocket by lying about the environment. Lotsa " children of lower estate " believe that electric vehicles are cleaner. They ain't, unless the energy is produced from nuclear plants. The electric vehicle will not be a success until the battery charging, performance, n driving range problem is solved. Watch the electric heavy truck business. If it works, then other electric vehicles will be viable. I'm guessin that I'll be takin my rest by the time they are a viable contender to gas n diesel machines. I'm now in my 75 th winter. Dont trade your gas/diesel machine just yet. By the way, I spent 38 years in the electric utility business. lectric leroy.
  12. What Mista Greg said Brother…, leroy…
  13. Bill... It's the " Collective Mind " Brother...!!! Ya built my rifle... This is exactly what I've been thinkin about... Ya have nailed it 100%. Thank you Brother. Now I know what I need ta do. RmThanks again..! leroy.
  14. Take a look at upper hand holsters. Sensible lead time. Good value.. leroy ..
  15. Thanks to all who have opined... I'm an old turn bolt rifleman and I understand the " bolt gun shoots better " thing. My goal is to build a short, light rifle with no more than a 3x (... preferably 1 to 3x ...) scope, or a red dot + 3x magnifier that will shoot into 1/2 at 50 yards. I simply cant see that as a " too lofty " goal for a semi.. I could live with a 3/4 spread at 50 yards. The neighborhood is the important thing here. 1/2 is simply the objective. I get the good barrel, good trigger, good ammo thing. Ima thinkin some sort of short, stiff barrel is the way ta go. What barrels doya like. ? leroy...
  16. Hozzie... " sooper dooper " for me would be a short barreled adjustable stocked 10/ 22 that would shoot about 1/2 inch at 50 yards with a scout scope or 3x magnified red dot. The main thing is short n stiff barrel. Adjustable stock. Hopin to get just over the SBR length. leroy.
  17. Brothers n Sisters.... I'm afflicted with a new mania... A "sooper dooper " 10/22... This about sums it up: Anybody here built a super dooper 10/22 for target or hunting..? Please tell me about it... Thanks a bunch... " J Thaddeus " leroy.... The 10/22 explorer...
  18. Used ta wear brimmed hats all the time.. Mostly good straws, but I've got several Akubras. The Akubras are probably the best bang for the buck in a " real " felt hat.. period... Big brim ta little, I love em all. Since I've gotten older, I dont wear the felts much. Just too lazy ta keep up with em, unless the weather is really bad. Got the " real panama fedora " bug ALA Brother " Pappy O'Daniel ". The real panamas are the " real thing " for summer wear if they are well vented.. I like them alot. Dapper leroy...
  19. Ya might want ta slug the barrel n measure the od of the partitions carefully. Big barrel/bullets on the small side. Especially after the factory loads did OK.. m. leroy.
  20. Another 1/2 grain Brother. About 0.3 if ya wanna creep up on it. Whatcha shooting em out of. ? leroy. PS. I have loaded these with Blue Dot I'm thinkin.
  21. Very sad Brother… Very sad, indeed… SIGH… sad leroy…
  22. I never get too teary eyed when career politicos, Washington insiders, or flag officers assume room temperature. Many times it makes the world a better place. Your mileage may vary. non carin leroy...
  23. REDD... Back in the good ole days, we burned a ton of 2400, H110, n 296 thru 45 Colt Blackhawks with excellent results. About 1200 fps wuz the norm for these " heavy loads "... The old time bulletmakers had a great lineup of 45 colt bullets from about 250 to 275 grain hollowpoints n soft noses. All of em shot like a house afire. We found that there wuz basically no difference between the heavy 45 colt loads n 44 mag loads as to accuracy n power. To this day, I wouldn't turn around for the differences between em. As to the revolvers, there is nothing lighter n easier to carry than the old aluminum frame 4 3/4 inch blackhawks. If ya want somethin a bit heavier, round up a ruger bisley or a vaquero (.. I like the 5.5 bbl length ..). Ya simply cant beat em if ya are a big bore revolver guy and ya reload. We only own eight of em, from 7 1/2 to 4 3/4. I used ta carry a 4 3/4 regularly loaded with mid range heavy cast bullet loads ( ..900 fps or so ..). Buy n use without hesitation. Ya will be well armed, indeed... leroy...
  24. I understand... The 45 will work like a charm in thinkin Brother... Good hunting... leroy.
  25. I'm remembering that we used a similar recipe back in the 80s when the 185's got popular. I'm thinkin the light recoil may be the result of the light bullet. Ya might be surprised at the velocity. Cant wait ta hear the chronology results.. leroy... PS.. I'm thinkin we used 8.5 grains of Unique. Need ta look in the old Lyman manual...
