  1. But it's coming back quickly! Haven't reloaded in going on 10 years for various reasons.

    This forum and couple other things have re-kindled my interest in shooting and a safe full of fine firearms. Naturally when brass begins to pile up, I can hear it screaming "LOAD ME! LOAD ME!!"

    So, yesterday I hitched up the old RCBS Piggy Back and started dumping 4.5 grains of Red Dot, Winchester WLP primers, and a 200gr flat point lead bullet into 45ACP cases. Makes a really mild load, and when I've used up the 4-500 of those bullets I have on hand, all I'll have to do is substitute 230gr RNL bullets with no other changes, got a thousand or so of them!

    How many rounds do yall suppose will be necessary to remove an old stump from the back yard now?

  2. Want to get down to Bald Knob AR (only about an hours drive) to Choate's business location to see if I can get a hands on look at their varmit or tatical stock (best I can tell by their website the only difference is the color) for Savage left hand 110 bolt action rifles.

    Also, Bald Knob is home of one of the finest Cajun restrants north of Louisiana's Bayou Country! "Who Dat's"

  3. Last year there was an absolutely beautiful Ruger #1 (or #3 don't remember)7.62X39 stainless with laminated stock at a local gun show. only ONE reason it didn't come home with me,,,,,,$$$$$$!!

    While most SKS's and AR copies aren't very accurate(Wife's Mini 30 is suprisingly so), I can't imagine that little round not being inherently accurate, it's what the PPC rounds have for ancestors after all.

    SC doesn't allow .223 for deer? Or you don't feel comfortable with it? LOTS of Arkie deer have had a terminal case of it! Most every Vietnam vet I know use it with excellent results. I've loaded .223 with Speer's 60 grain spire point for several fellows who've had excellent results.

  4. Had the privilege of looking through a Schmitt&Bender the other day. Had a German #1 with a sharp point on the upright. It would be superb on moving game, or low light, and the owner (guy has over a thousand guns, consults for Hornady!) says it's amazingly accurate using the pointy upright. Just didn't know what to call it.
