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...

look at some of those prices . and ya gotta be 18 to purchase .

in my opinion , you can have too much bullet integrity . I like more frangible bullets for whitetails . the old Hornady SP's , core lokt , SST , ballistic tips ,and a lot more of the old school bullets , are perfect for deer hunting .

keep looking forward , and don't get discouraged . you have goals set , you just have to keep working to obtain them

I got this in an Email , and thought it was worth passing along . there seems to be growing talk with pre-fit BBL's . I thought this might help someone make their mind up ,, on what action to buy . Planning a new build and want the option to run Ruckus pre-fit barrels? Good news...

I forgot to mention . if the brass advances out of the flame , before the color change , let it completely cool to room temp , before running it through again . the warm brass will get hot much faster , will cause an over annealed piece of brass . I anneal on my basement cement floor . I lay...
