I had one tick dug in on my stomach right at my belt line . I got it out . a day or two later it got sore , like a wood splinter does . I don't remember it getting red , or anything like that . I called my DR , and he got me on the antibiotics . these ticks are nothing to fool with , they...

Sally likes to play ball , and frisbee . when she needs a new one , I add it to the auto ship , as a one time purchase , and it ships with that order for free . Chewy is very convenient . I've never had a problem with them . when I set up the auto ship , this is very easy too , I remember...

I don't crimp any rifle ammo . I don't have anything that needs a crimp . "IF" I was crimping I'd rather use a bullet with a cannular . I'm not sure if crimping on a non-cannular bullet would distort it , or affect it in some unforeseen way .

from what I read , this only seems to be getting longer . afterwhile , I lose interest , and get the screw it's . "IF" I was building something new today , I'd be looking at actions that support the use of pre fit BBL's . I'd buy a BBL vise , and action wrench . when I ordered the new...

"Sever" strikes again . did you have good blood trails ? Danielle's shows a lot of blood at the exit , looks like it should have been an easy one . congratulations to you both .

they say when the tick vomits , this is when there juices get in you , and causes Lyme disease . I'd think squeezing would do this . Denise , used tweezers on my ticks all the time .a lot of these , the heads broke off . in time the heads would come to the surface and I could scratch it...

it's sad how thick the ticks are in places . it takes some of the fun out of being out in the woods . glad you found it and got it removed . just watch it for a few days for the bullseye . when I get home , I strip down , and give me a good look over in front of a mirror . I've been...

I'm sure happy for you getting Manny back on the go . I'd be lost without my Sally . YES , I only give Sally glucosamine , one in the morning , one in the evening . I give it to her right before I feed her . She loves the things , acts like they are a treat . to me , these look like...

welcome to the forum . Jason Miller has not been on here for 5 years .

yea , and I assume that will be a problem . they are enjoyable to see here and there , and I can see why the animal lovers would get upset over shooting one . I'm no biologist , but I don't think we want them in an area breeding for years . this would certainly play havoc with the...

smells like spam in here , this morning .

"IF" Lapua had full coverage , there would not be a need for any other brass . I have great success with it . although it's nice to have other good quality options . my 338 Lapua , I junk the Lapua brass at either 13 or 15 reloading cycles . I'd have to look at my notes . I do this due...

Me too . when I bought my Hornady progressive press set up , Hornady had the free bullets promotion . I think I got 15 boxes of the 7mm 139 SPBT . I've sure put a bunch of meat in the freezer with them in my 7mm08 . when I was hunting Kansas whitetails , I loaded the Hornady 154 SP , in...

the prefit BBL is chambered , and threaded , to just screw on the action it's machined for . be checked with a set of go / no go gauges , and shoot it . no gun smith needed . you would need a BBL vise , action wrench , and a set of GO / NO GO gauges . I'm not sure if the action wrench is...

if I can offer a suggestion , I would give the Peterson brass a serious look , for the 7mm REM MAG . Peterson makes it in the "long" version . this will help it be a better fit to the chamber on the first firing , helping to eliminate about a .015" case stretch , or the need to form a false...
