Ahhh garden season. The past couple of years I have been fighting a short growing thistle but this spring it has gotten out of control and it has bloomed all winter long. I seems that the frost, snow and generally cold weather has had no affect on it. It has grown and bloomed all winter...

If you can't find empty powder jugs go to Walmart and buy a case of Ball glass canning jars and lids. They will seal air tight and keep your powder dry.

That sounded like a whole lot of fun and something I haven't done for years since no till farming and the birds cover destroyed so more crops could be grown have seen the wild birds become extinct around here. I still let the fence row behind my home grow wild but over spray of chemicals has...

Very nice, and I like the blued metal sights on the stainless steel. Boyd sent you a nice looking stick for the barreled action to set in. I'm right handed and I think I could shoot that setup with no problem. As a matter of fact if not for the boarder problem I would suggest you send it to me...

Just a little more info on the P.O. Ackley improved version is that P.O. designed the cartridge as a high pressure round blowing up hundreds of rifles to find which action would/could take the pressure. Roy Weatherby took lots of notes on what P.O. was doing and talked with him about his...

I stand corrected, never hear about them so I just thought I was the only one with a 35AI on this forum.

Looking good Guy. always nice to get out with your children and have a good time at the range.

I guess I'm the only one here that still has the AI version of the 35 Whelen so I will try to help you but one thing to remember is mine is based on a M70 controlled round push feed bolt that Win toyed with back in the 80's. The original chamber was 30-06 so it was perfect for JES to rebore and...

Do check to make sure the threads are square to the muzzle of the barrel. I have a 7-30 Waters barrel for a TC Contender I had a brake installed on because it was hard to hold onto and the smith cut the threads off center in a hurry to get it out the door. The bullets would hit the break and...

Nice looking set of pistols. The XP was always one I wanted but could never afford so I ran With the Thompsom Center which is scary accurate.

Thanks Charlie

Check the Hodgon web site for their reloading section which has a load development section and chose a powder that gives the best results with the velocity you are looking for. Not all powders are created equal when it comes to down loading pistol cartridges.

Back when I was developing loads for my 35 Whelen AI I had problems with Win Large rifle primers that the firing pin would pierce the cup and would gas burn the bolt face. Contacted Winchester and sent them samples plus pictures. They replaced the primers and paid for any repairs the bolt...

I like my Meopta 2-10x42 very nice scope with great glass, mine has a plex reticle. Someone wanting that style reticle will get a very nice scope with great glass .

I can agree that the .25ACP is not enough gun since I took one to the back of my head from a perp that was never caught. But I'm very thankful that it was a .25ACP and not a .22 rim fire which would probably have killed me. The .25ACP bounced off the back of my head. Though it felt like someone...

Thanks for the update, I guess they had enough of the women haters who heckled them when they would respond to post from men who had similar experiences as they had.

Gill it seems we were raised in a very similar culture and it sure didn't hurt either of us. How is Cheyenne doing, haven't heard from here or Europe in a long time.

I'm with you on the not rich part and having to fit the entertainment dollars into a budget that supported my family. Dad taught me to reload shot gun shells and gave me the left over components he didn't use or want. He also instilled in me the idea of being frugal with my ammo and making sure...

Years ago I bought my first pair of Peltor electronic muffs and they did what I needed but were priced just a little higher than the standard muffs, they were damaged and nonrepairable so I went on a hunt to replace them and couldn't find them anywhere (3M had bought them and didn't list them as...

Thanks JD, I revisited why I was looking at these and realized that I didn't care for the Walker products because they don't do what I like in electronic hearing protection. They are good for field work and range work if you are the only one shooting. Also they had separate volume controls even...
