I have ARs with 1:7, 1:8, and 1:9 twist barrels. They all shoot 55,60, and 62 grain projectiles well. I've not tried anything lighter nor heavier. I don't see a big difference.   Now that I think about it, I did try some 77 grain stuff in a 1 in 9 twist barrel. It hit the target sideways.

I'd probably go with a chicago screw.

I discovered that a bored teenage son is an asset in tree removal. He didn't see it that way.

I didn't go to WalMart, and I've had a great weekend. :up:

Not a problem. :D My chainsaw started right up, and I wasn't standing under it when it fell. All is well.

I'll be interested to know if you're able to get the stink out of the hide. You can usually smell a coyote before you see him.

I don't wish to leave the country, but the thought of hitting the reset button on our government sounds more appealing by the day.

At least I don't foresee the kids setting anything on fire with fireworks this year. :)

Sure has!

Time is money on a common gun. An uncommon gun, however, sometimes requires uncommon effort to retrieve. :up:

:D   We've been lucky so far with the weather, but this week is an exception. Yesterday, I had to cut a large tree across my driveway before I could get out. Lightening got my central unit. I'm about to put the box blade on my tractor and retrieve what I can of my driveway.   How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

Same here. I have driven all day for the right deal.   I wouldn't walk across the street for a hundred dollar Glock, but I'd drive wherever necessary for the right 1899 Savage, N frame Smith and Wesson, or Colt revolver.

If you polish it good with a shoe brush, it won't rub off anymore. Black is the only dye I've had that problem with. It's like it creates an outer layer of some sort of corrosion or something as it dries. You should still protect it with a product such as resolene. I also put neutral shoe polish on top of that; then buff it off for further protection and shine.

You're in Wilson county. You damn sure won't dig it by hand.

Sounds like he was raised by some fine parents. Congratulations!

Yep. I've heard this story several times. All with Starline brass, and usually with Dillon dies.          http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/88524-reloading-new-brass/   Read through this thread, as well as the link I gave in there to learn more.

Now this one catches my eye! :up:

No. Reloading 9mm is NOT cost effective, but then again, neither having a baby or buying a new car.   I can't reload 9mm much cheaper than you can buy it in bulk; especially if you consider time valuable.   I can, however, make a much higher quality ammo than you'll get at your local big box store.

We're beginning to get a few bell peppers as well.

Sounds great! Let's make it a required class in high school.

So, how's your garden doing?   We had to replant a lot of ours. For some reason, not much came up the first time.   Anyway, it's beginning to produce now. We've been getting yellow squash for a few days now. I think we've picked three ripe tomatoes. Yesterday we put up 7 qts of dill pickles. Today we put up 4 pts of blackberry jelly. The blackberrys didn't come from the garden;, but from the fencerow next to it. They are wild.   How bout you?

I've seen several pickups in the last few days driving around with great big confederate flags flying from their beds. They'll fare well here in Lafayette, but let them go into the the wrong neighborhood in another town, and the race war Obama wants is on.   I don't wish to see it, but it's gonna happen shortly.
