I fired up the server today and doing its normal boot I get a warning from one of my software packages that I have a hard disk caution. After a bit of diagnosis I have determined that 2 of my hard drives are having SMART warnings and I am having two drives with speed warnings and access...

Ok, I took a bit of grief a while back because I said I could not find a couple of my 38/44 Outdoorsmans. My records show I own 16 but I could only locate 14. I pulled out some of the contents of several safes and sorted them out searching but I could not get to another one because Christmas...

I have a pig/wild hog problem. It is trashing my front yard at the ranch and has basically root plowed up about a third of an acre so far. So "piggy" has got to go. I have seen the little pig/hog. I would guess it runs about 80 lbs give or take and has definitely grown over the last 4...

So I am trying to find all of my 38/44 Outdoorsman's and still no luck. You know it is bad when you can find 14 but your records show you have 16. I finally resigned myself to taking every gun out of the bag it is in and look at it. No more feeling it and saying "Oh thats 6" Heavy Duty". I...

I did something I really rarely do. I pulled nearly all of one type of revolver out and tried to find them all in my safes. I was sorting 38/44's trying to find all of my Outdoorsman's. I am still missing I think 1 or 2 in the safes somewhere. Funny thing when I actually pulled them all out...

I am buying a house that does not have cable or DSL access to internet. It is on a ranch and while the services are in the area, they are not to my place. I plan to approach the cable company and AT&T about a DSL line, but I doubt they will mess with me as I am just one customer. So my fall...

I went to the range and brought out my favorite shooter 38/44 Outdoorsman and had some fun with 500 rounds of 38/44. They were Herco and 4756 reloads and had a bark to them. Roughly 1200-1250 fps with 158's out of the Outdoorsman's. No targets or pictures today since the paper was really damp...

I am in the process of buying enough land to set up my own shooting range but I am wondering about the backstops needed and your approach. Any advice or insight would be appreciated. Thanks

It has been a long time since I shot a handgun. Too long due to medical issues which are now on the mend. So my shooting buddy and I went out and shot steel today. Looked like about 8 to 10" targets at 15 to 50 yrds. Lots of fun to plink at with 22's. The 50 yrd one was hard to hear but you...

I bought a Synology NAS drive model 1813+ and populated it with 8 3TB WD Red drives. I set it up and am just playing with it right now but my long term intent is more of a large storage space instead of my 4 DNS325's I am running in RAID 1 with 2TB WD Black drives. So If you have followed this...

I am currently laid up for a bit with medical issues so I started doing some cleaning around the house and the safe. I was running out of room in my primary safe so I decided to move my "guns I would never shoot" from normal cases to bore-stores. What I found was that quickly I hand moved...

I used up all of my 1 lb 4756's finally and now am working on my first 8lb jug. I hate to say it but at 7.5 grns per case, it will be just about exhausted when I finish up the 38 Super's that are on the bench and the 38/44's that are queued up on the floor. I am sure glad to get rid of the 1...

Anyone have any experience with this one? Seems interesting and cheaper than the standard Hawkeye. Innovative Technologies - Reloading Equipment

8 lb jugs are coming easy lately. I picked up 24 more lbs of 4756 so I now have around 40 lbs of the stuff stashed at my neighbors and friends. I think this weekend I may go house to house and check what I have where. I was not planning on buying more 4756 since it was being discontinued but...

I noted in a recent article that in 1964 S&W lists in the price sheet the model 23 or 38/44 Outdoorsman. They don't list the model 20, the 38/44 Heavy Duty. Why did the Outdoorsman survive longer than the Heavy Duty? My guess would be there was more demand for a target sighted revolver and...

First time back at the range yesterday with my 38/44 OD's. I took my favorite shooter and my standard OD firing full power 38/44 loads. I popped about 750 round with Magna and Target stocks. Boy I was having a lot of problems at 15 yrds keeping all 50 in a 4" bullseye. My skills have gone...

Obviously I know that taking medical advice off the web is fraught with danger but I will just ask for insights and tips if you have been through the problem. I have had a bad back for decades. I normally can keep it under control but over this holiday I blew it out bad. The X-rays and MRI's...

Best Hodgdon/Winchester powder for 38 super - 9mm/38 Caliber - Brian Enos's Forums... Maku mozo! I read today that Chris Hodgdon says that all of these powders will be discontinued by the end of 2014. Go see post 11 for the direct email from him. It is unfortunate in that I consider 4756 my...

Idly thinking here. If we eliminate the custom orders, what are the main 38/44 HD variations? (I am skipping blued vs. nickeled for ease of description.) I would have said: 38/44 HD Prewar 4" service grip 5" service grip 6.5" service grip 4" magna grip 5" magna grip 6.5" magna grip 4" HBH...

Ughh. I looks like a 944 Porsche to me. It reminds me of the old mustang 2 from my youth. What an ugly car and a waste of a good brand. Glad I picked up my 2013 and 2014 when I did. Here is Ford's webpage for the 2015. 2015 Ford Mustang | Power for the Sports Car Obsessed | Ford.com Oh...
