    shot 5 stand for the first time today

    I've always wanted to try 5 stand, but my club shut down their set up due to needing space for additional sporting clays stands. Apparently it's great practice for getting into the feel of sporting clays. If you ever get the chance, check out Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays, it's probably an hour...

    Your perfect Bloody Mary

    After reading these recipes I stocked up on some spicy v8, celery and hot sauce. Most of the other ingredients are already at home and I hope to have a couple later. Definitely some horseradish and Worcestershire, looking forward to it!

    Buds has the 3" and 4" model 10s again

    I really wanted one of the 3" square butt Model 10's, but I decided to wait until later last night and they had sold... I did check back this afternoon and found the 64's and jumped right on one. From the picture they look very nice and it seems like a lot of value and very worth adding a Model...

    Peppered Country Gravy....

    Would this be similar to what makes up creamed chipped beef, or SOS? I stopped at my grandparents last Saturday and my grandmother had some waiting for me. Very creamy and peppered, and I don't think I've had that meal since the Boy Scouts...

    Places to live in Bucks County PA

    I would echo the comments of mkk41... I live in the Lehigh Valley, it seems to be a popular choice for folks moving from NJ and NY in recent years. I have close access to I78 and the 476 turnpike which make Philadelphia an hour away and NYC about 1.5 to 2 hours away. Upper Bucks is a fine area...

    A request for my better half

    David, Your wife, you and your family will be in my prayers tonight. Cancer is a great fear, as we all have been touched by someone that has dealt with it. I do know a number of people that have dealt with it and are now healthy and cancer-free. Please keep us posted and be strong going forward.

    Just started my first coal fire...

    Indeed, coal is a fine thing here in PA. All my life growing up we had a coal-fired boiler, and when I was 12 or 13 my father broke his leg at work. The coal and ashes were now my duty, and I maintained it into my late teens until we switched to an oil boiler. We never wanted for plenty of heat...

    Fish breading

    I just did some a few nights ago... The wife bought tilapia, but this works with other fish caught or bought. I use some egg and a little milk with kosher salt, black pepper and some cayenne pepper, then dredge it in Betty Crocker corn bread mix. Fry it up in plenty of butter and some olive...

    bench design

    Skip, happy anniversary and congrats on the new piece of "cave furniture". That looks like a sturdy addition to the shop, I may stop by our local harbor freight one of these days and see if they have ones like that around here. I think my workshop real estate is dwindling though... Also, I see...

    Loading Small Primer 45 ACP

    I almost posted the same question today... I picked up some boxes of Blazer brass .45 yesterday without even realizing they use small pistol primers. In the past I've just scrapped the few random NT/small primer cases that found their way in with the others, but I am definitely going to save...

    Proper use of RENAISSANCE Wax

    I started using Ren. Wax after reading much about it here a number of months back. Like many others I've used it on blued guns like my model 10 - it vastly improved the appearance of the bluing. It also worked well on my nickeled 22-4 since it imparts a fingerprint and fouling resistant quality...

    160gr Modern Bond WC Low Velocity Test Results-Casting video added

    Skip, I just went through and watched your whole series of videos in this thread. Those are an excellent instructional tool! I don't cast my own bullets, but I'm inclined to start one of these days. These kind of details are helpful as I learned to reload about four years ago solely from a pile...
