Handsome Rob

Lunchtime drinking....... Just makes those boring afternoons fly right by!

Here's a question; Which relationship shows the higher level of commitment? 1) A married couple with no kids, living in rented acommodation, 2) An unmarried couple with 2 kids, living in a property that is bought/mortgaged

Tens of millions of Chinese, Thai, Malay, Japanese & Buddhists can't be wrong I'm convinced it's the hygeine thing. Parents are too quick to mollycoddle & cotton-wool wrap their kids. Let 'em play with dirt & eat worms & they'll grow up to be big & strong. Sanitize & wash them every five minutes & they'll grow up allergic to everything! As a thirty-something, when I was a kid no-one had ever heard of wheat/gluten/dairy/nut allergies etc.... These days it seems that there's an allergy for everything!

I just thought of this whilst reading another thread. I don't hold a HCP, does that mean I cannot carry a loaded rifle into & out of the woods? I know wen I'm driving to & from the wood, I have to have the rifle & ammuniton in seperate compartments of the vehicle, but what about when I get out? I'm hunting TWRA land & public land, so would carrying a loaded rile constitute illegal carry? What about my muzzleloader? If it is indeed illegal, when does carrying constitute hunting? Would it mean that I can only hunt from a stand, or is still huntin & spot & stalk OK? Or am I just thinking a load of old bollocks?

It's the 'Skwerlinator'! That's some ingeneous fabrication there.

Hey, I don't care that you don't care that I think you're a prick, but I still think you're a prick

And I'm sorry for you too....

I don't know abouthe re-threading, but I've just dropped off my Lee Enfield at Hero Gear, to have the barrel shortened & re-crowned to 19" I was quoted 'roughly' $40 & 3 day turnaround. I have zero experience with anything like this, but it seemed very reasonable to me in both price & timeframe.

Same as all the others, I would guess. Broken down, up on blocks & covered in fingerprints

Well, that was pointless.

Sweet leaping Jesus! I hope to God nobody's fallen for that, if they did I'm sure it'll be on the News fairly soon.

Nothing, to be honest, I just think that 300 yds is really pushing the limit of a 180+gn, 1900FPS projectile. If you're struggling to get an exit wound & blood at 100yds, what do you think the chances are of getting a clean kill at 3 times that range? Working on a 180gn bullet weight at that velocity, you'll have a bullet drop of nearly 45" at 300yds with a 10mph crosswind, you'd get about 20" of drift. To me that's just not precise enough for shooting at game. Just my opinion is all. I don't know you or how good a marksman you are, 300yds may be well within your capabilities, I just don't think it's within the rifle's is all.

You want to shoot a deer at 300 yds? Wait until rifle season. A Muzzleloader is not a long range firearm, you need to learn to limit your shots mate.

Go find your buck dude. Did you even bother to look for the deer or did you give up after you found no blood? It's quite probably laid there dead somewhere or worst case, it's badly wounded & the least you could do is spend a little more time searching through the woods to find it. You owe it to the deer. It's probably well within 100yds of where it was stood when you shot it. Drop 50gn off your load too. 150gn is waaay more than you need to take a deer at 100yds & the extra powerd is probably what caused your powerbelt to come apart. I shoot a roundball .54 with 90gn of powder & a .50 roundball with 75 & I'd be more than happy to shoot at a 100 yard deer with those loads. 150 is twice as much as you need & with the laws of diminishing returns, twice the powder doesn't mean twice the power. I've also heard a lot of pretty bad things about Powerbelts on game. Good for accuracy, easy to load, but often fragment on impact. The Hornady SST, on the other hand, returns nothing but praise. I really don't think the 'magnum' load will have helped either.

Remington 870, extra full choke, 3½" Magnum turkey shells. Handgun, it'd have to be a friend's Ruger Super Blackhawk with a shortened, 4" barrel shooting .44 +P loads. Not too bad on the hand, although not pleasant, but I've still got tinnitus in my left ear!

Sorry to be dumb, but what were the protesters, protesting against? If these were anti-War protesters, then shame on them. Noboby likes the war, but protesting at a funeral is in very poor taste.

Hmm. Thought they went back tomorrow night?

Did it contain all this stuff? A LITTLE GUN HISTORY In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control..

From 1915 to 1917, 1..5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ------------------------------ Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. ------------------------------ China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated ------------------------------ Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.. ------------------------------ Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated ------------------------------ Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------------- Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million. I keep getting chan EMails with these 'statistics'

Jumped a nice doe from her bed at Owl Hollow this afternoon, popped a cap at her, but had my first failure with the GPR Patch was too wet & it contaminated the powder with lube, I reckon. Highlight of the afternoon......I was sat on the floor, under a small tree & had 2 squirrels fightin over which one got to sit on my foot! I also had a little grey fox come within 8 feet & take a poo. Poor little bastard nearly turned inside out when he got into my scent stream!

I have 2 diamond stones that I've been using for the past 15 or 16 years. One is a medium grit, no-name stome bought from a flea market, the other is a super-fine DMT flat stone (NOT the one with the diamond shaped holes) Every knife I've ever made & sold has been sharpened on these 2 stones, freehand. I would never let a knife leave the shop unless I could cleanly shave with it. Learning to sharpen freehand is a pretty handy thing to know. That said, I've been using one of these for the past year, on my own knives, with absolutely spectacular results! KME Precision Knife Sharpening System (Works for many broadheads too) It's far better than the Lansky/Gatco type, fixed angle sharpeners. The reason being that once you've 'locked in' your sharpening angle (which is infinitely adjustable from 17 to 30 degrees) the stone stays at that angle with no chanceof it shifting. If anyone would like to try out the KME, I'll happily mail it to you for a 1 week trial

Cheese & Crackers That had to have been pretty scary!

As a casual observer to this thread, with pretty much nothing constructive to add, could I please suggest everyone go bck & read Adam's posts. A few of you seem to have either misunderstood, or, misinterpreted what Adam has posted. 1. Derringer guy is not an employee at the restaurant 2. Adam & his buddies are regulars there & are known to the staff 3. Derringer guy was a patron of (and stranger to) the restaurant 4. Adam & his buddies complied with the request to quieten down 5. Unless you've had a gun drawn on you, you don't really know how you'd react, training or no training Adam stated that he never really felt threatened & therefore had no reason to draw & yes, while his friend may be in for Captain Retard of the Year award, I applaud him for not further escalating the situation & possibly getting someone killed.

Here's a look at the English version of the Ghost chilli, the Dorset Naga.......

Here's a quick looksee at what you're getting into...... Please bear in mind that this dude eats chillis for a LIVING!

't ain't a proper Tennessee chilli without possum, coon or both.
