    Plinking Powder

    Nice rifle, are you sure this big bore is just for plinking or for some deer coming in winter? 😁 I'm sure it will be a deer thumper.

    About to can tomatoes for spaghetti sauce

    I seeded early in the season in 4 inch pots even though it was cold off and on outdoors. I would bring in the young plants at night or put them in my shed with grow lights during cold spells. I would take them outside for a few hours of sun until they get hardy, once frost is over around March I...

    About to can tomatoes for spaghetti sauce

    Plucked some Paisano tomatoes, its similar to San Marzano, from the 13 plants I have in the backyard. The first batch was in small clusters on the lower stems, and that was picked last week after ripening on the vine. I had placed clusters of tomatoes in mesh bags while ripening on the vine to...

    Lentil Soup And Grilled Cheese

    Looks great. I love grilled cheese. We had made some potato soup with crumbled spicy Italian sausage, potato, carrots, celery and kale from our garden. Tastes great, we make soup weekly to keep up with the 6 kales we planted in the raised beds.

    Which optic sights do you use on your pistols?

    Just got off with MSP and rep explained good information that I wanted to know, real helpful. Even sent me an email with links when I could not find it on the website. Just got the EGW dovetail adapter and the Holosun HS507COMP red dot optics with 3 different reticles. Adapter is backordered...

    Which optic sights do you use on your pistols?

    My Sigs which are the P238 and the P229 in 40 cal are what I use for daily carry / home self defense. For those pistols I just use iron sights and the Crimson Trace laser grips. I can easily put the laser dot on any target quick and only downside is that its hard to see the laser dot on a bright...

    Some of the pistols nowadays have those recessed slides for optics ready to install. That is cool.

    Which optic sights do you use on your pistols?

    Emailed Kimber asking some questions if my Kimbers can have those slides milled to adapt the optic sights and they said no because there is a safety mechanism under the rear sight and to use a aftermarket dovetail mount which I found some on the internet. I'll wait till tomorrow and contact them...

    Amateur Hour

    That is nice. It's cool to anneal your own brass. When I first started annealing, I was pretty scared to see whether I do it right or not that I spend a lot of time adjusting the flame and case height on the BenchSource to direct the flame at the junction of the shoulder and neck. I started with...

    Which optic sights do you use on your pistols?

    At our age, our eyesight is declining to focus clearly like when we all were young. I had a severe eye infection on my right eye when I used a pressure washer to clean my boat about 20 years ago, there was a stubborn dried up shrimp head on the deck and the high pressure ( 3600 psi ) blew it...

    308

    I have not tried any other powder in the 308 besides Varget and IMR 4064. It shoots well with Varget for me that I have never switched to any other powder, works great from 150 to 178 grains for me. I have yet to try the 180 Ballistic Tips, I'm sure I can make it shoot. ;)

    O.A.C.L.for 300 win mag

    My Rem 700 300 Win Mag used to be a 7mm STW with the push feed magazine before I converted it. I would start by checking the maximum box length, and seat the 165 -180 grain bullets about .020" shorter and work a load from there. The Accubonds and Ballistic Tips can be seated long to get close to...
