    I Miss My Tree

    Thirty or so years ago a friend gave me 3 small maple trees. He had bought several for his house and had these left over. I planted 2 in my back yard and 1 in the front. One of the 2 died several years ago, but the other thrived and provided shade for a new patio that was my wife's retirement...

    Prostate Cancer - What’s You’re Experience

    I had the surgery 19 years ago in Chicago by one of the leading surgeons in the country. My PSA is now 0.03. My cancer had spread outside the prostate. I get a check monthly from the VA due to my exposure to Agent Orange.

    Ruger Standard Auto .22

    I got a 6 inch bull barrel many years ago and paid too much at an auction for a 4 inch stainless MKII last year. The 4 inch sure shoots well. I bought several magazines as it saves time at the range. When glancing at the 4 inch, it does look a bit like a Luger.

    Yes, AJ it is a 70 Series GC. Based on the Wolfe packaging I found, it is probably a 16 or 18 pound spring.

    .45acp, 200gr cast bullet, 231 Powder How low Can You Go?

    My standard load has been 5.0 grains for many years. The recoil is starting to bother my wrist. I loaded 100 rds with 4.5 and they seemed to work ok and the brass didn't go far. How low can I go with the gun continuing to function properly?

    Found some old powder- Unique & 700X

    I bought a large container of 700-X many years ago when a trap shooting couple got divorced and had a garage sale. It worked well in .45 acp and 45 Colt. Unique is my standard powder for .41, .44 magnum and .45 Colt. 7.0 and a cast bullet is most of what I shoot in those calibers.
