Your projects just get better & better. Love the hawk/hatchet. The knives will be perfect companions in the field. Well done!

Small pistol primers American reloading has Ginex SP primers, free shipping & no hazmat. My son & I have reloaded thousands of rifle rounds using Ginex, and have no reservations buying them. Powder Valley has CCI SP primers & Remington SP primers. Just checked their sites. I have bought...

I was an apartment dweller for all of my professional career. I always had people on two-three sides of me separated by sheet rock. I kept Glasers loaded in my CA bulldog and a custom S&W 28 converted to 45 colt. These two revolvers were designated “castle defenders” and were not carried in...

4350 IMR 4350 has been my “go to” in the 6.5 CM since I started shooting it. I have used the other two and have them in on hand. All three of them have performed well for me and it is nice to have an alternative if the IMR is scarce. I also think it is a marketing ploy by the manufacturers, I...

M1 Carbine I have a couple WWII vintage carbines. I carried one in my patrol car back in late 70’s and through the 80’s. It was my “patrol rifle”. Always carried GI ball in it. Also carried a M1 Enforcer pistol in the squad. It is made by Universal. Consider it an early “ PDW “. They...

Ruger Standard MK I I bought mine in the early 70’s. I installed a Jim Clark trigger in mine. The Clark trigger was an upgrade over the factory trigger. It improved the little pistol considerably. This pistol has accompanied me on outings afield for decades. I have a nylon shoulder rig that I...

M1 Yup. Definitely a fan. I own several, competed with an M1 for 20 years. The majority of rounds that I shot during that time were my handloads in LC brass. Took this one to the range a couple weeks back. It is a “Blue Sky” import. My objective was to make POA=POI. Shooting LC M2 at 100...

Aim Surplus They are 5 stars in my book. Been doing business with them for years. Received a package from them yesterday & have another enroute for tommorow. 48 hours from time of order till order received at at my door or my FFL depending on what it is.

The 30-06 is my favorite CF rifle cartridge. The 30-06 was the first CF rifle I bought. It was a Winchester 70 and I have hunted with that rifle all over the USA. I competed with the 06 for 20 years shooting it in M1 Garand’s in service rifle competition. Last week I took an M1 that I...

Nice! That is a very interesting & well done conversion. No doubt it will be a shooter. Enjoy. I like everything about it, all the way down to the Houge’s. Welcome to the forum.

I fully intend to do that. I will catch it again, now that I know it is in there. When we caught it, I had no way to transport it 30 miles back to the house. Plus, I had a social event to attend at noon that day. So hauling it home & cleaning it was not possible. I am going down there and...

Wadcutters If we are restricting our discussion to factory loaded 148 gr swaged HB wadcutters out of a 2” bl., I would not carry that load for SD. It is a great target load & that is it’s intended purpose. If you wanted to expand the discussion to hard cast wadcutters, then my answer is...

Fishing farm ponds I totally understand. I grew up fishing & hunting with my dad & Uncles. Several of my Uncles were farmers and they all had ponds, and I have great memories of us all fishing in them. The 8 ft Jon boat I fish in today, was my dad’s. It is a nice link to fond memories of...

Rule 3 We coat our catfish in beer batter, then drop it in the deep fryer. Delicious. Catfish are battler’s. We had two adults and gear in a 8 ft boat with two anchors down in sticky clay and we were being drug around. The fish was caught on 10lb mono, a homemade 3 hook crawler harness & a...

Nice fish, that is a huge bass!

Rule 3 They are perfectly good to eat. They make fine fish steaks. I was not in a position to transport & clean a 55lb fish. That pond is full of fish. So that fish’s presence has not had much detrimental effect on the fish population. Catfish do have barbs, and they can be dangerous...

I have been fishing for 65 years, it is the companion outdoor activity to my hunting. Over the years I have fished all over the country: oceans, lakes, streams, reservoirs and ponds. When I retired I bought some property that has a 1 acre pond. I fish it every week, it is full of bass...

Bulldog 44 spl. The C A Bulldog was the first 44 spl I owned. I bought mine in the 70’s when they were introduced. Skeeter Skelton wrote an article about it, along with his experience of shooting his handloads through one. My pet load in mine have been a cast 200 gr WC over a charge of...

Model 58 There are worse problems to have than an abundance of model 58’s. I have my share of them, including the one I carried as a duty weapon for several years. It is not a question of “needs”. It is a matter of “want’s”. You have paid your dues. If you want to own five model 58’s...

Good “old school” revolver & good leather. I too, am a fan. The button is from the late 70’s/early 80’s.
