I LOVE reloading straight wall pistol cartriges as well!

My DPMS SASS seems to prefer lighter loads. I know I'm 2-3 grains under max with the Accurate 4064. They print as well as factory target rounds but only at 100-200M. Maybe I ought try loading up>? PS I FOOLISHLY rran a few thru my M1 Garand in .308. WHOOPS! Those bad boys can double...

Do you own pistols now? If so, do you prefer single or double action revolvers? 30 yds is a short distance, so I would think optics aren't really required? Either way most single- or double action revolvers can accomodate a red dot/ optic. For what you describe, my old dog-legged Ruger...

COOL! I used to hunt there opening day. Quite the scene if I may say; in a good way!

more anti-social... which doesn't mean one is an idiot....means that it could turn into a cancer, like physical medicine. We have to pay more mind to that. PS back on topic, do Pennsylvania schools still give students opening day off?

Sort of circling back to my comments on this thread... just listened to a mental health pro.... its not the "smart phone" per se.... but ISOLATION that has contributed to all this deviant anti-social behavior...... evidence....? for a contrary indicator..... Check out the sense of belonging...

we sure have ALOT MORE social malcontents. " Keep staring at your palms kids, it helps! " The joke is on us however, we helped RAISE this new generation. I tried to make my kids "masters of reality" .

Maybe with this new remote work ethic the "unmigration" from the cities to more rural may accelerate. It has near large metropolitan areas already. The day I brought to school a Rem 870 barrel that we were going to silver solder the rib back on sticks in my head. 1977 upstate NY.

Hey, I covet my rare slugs. They don't make ACTIVs anymore and Brenneke Classics were REALLY hard to get a few years back. All my smoothbore will print. I try and make a 5 pack of slugs last ALAP! Plus, you all ever shoot a 5.75 lb 12 ga slug gun. Masocism at its finest I tell ya. :) ( a...

LiteHiker, I want to thank you for this thread. I was one of those unfit to walk fat asses ( well almost) yet over time have got my Eastern woods all day still hunting back on. Yet life and such has stretched the time to a western hunt out a bit and i;ve developed a rather FUBAR'd knee. Sure...

Ya DUDE!!!! :eek: I respect your total badassery but sheesh! 👍 Hey TG I even got a Ukrainian flag helmet outta that comment!~ DIGGIN IT. ( PS no politics, but dad was Ukrainian freedom fighter post WWII and Army OSS got him ( ME!) here in the 1950's = he would've truly appreciated your...

Ranger Rick, you simply have to believe that you are the baddest MF in the woods is all. "LORD AND MASTER OF ALL I SURVEY"! Stupid Army crap taught to me. But it works! In more recent years, traveling with a notion of "orenda", I try and tap into the "Great Spirit" and all those "tree...

Night exersizes @ Ft Benning cured me of that fear CW. CW, humans are the assholes of the wild sir. While I didnt want to share this story as its a stupid human one. While on private land in PA, I was warned to not cross a certain fence line. I did come up on it, and sort of tacked my still...

I saw the Ackley mentioned, man there a LOT of good wildcats in .27-.28. ESPECIALLY if you can run your own cases. 270 Sherman. Who knew! :)

epags, never met hardly a one who could shoot straight btw.....Turks and Kurds, YES! BigNate, game cops catch you with a loaded rifle in cab during season, they get the whole truck and everything in it , here in NY pretty much. Good opsec to clear your weapons before entering the barracks...
