Thank You Pdvdh !

I enjoy reading all of the opinions about "Bear Protection Handguns" posted by the members here at Long Range Hunting . At my age of 74 , reading of other people's experiences is about all that I do now . My question to all members is : How many of you have actually killed a Bear with a pistol...

"Many people die at Twenty-Five , and are not buried until they are Seventy-Five" - Benjamin Franklin "You can't make a Silk Purse from a Sow's ear" - when translated into a phrase that is more understandable is : "You can't polish a T_RD" !!! - quote from my Uncle , in 1982 .

It has been about 10 years ago that I saw a #12 Pteranodon flying in the eastern area of Fort Worth , Texas , in the Trinity River "Green-Belt" area , behind the Bell Helicopter Plant . It had to be a Radio-Controlled model ( there used to be an area for R.C. plane flying in that area) , BUT it...

Old Rooster , Might that hunt have occurred on November 3 , 1991 ? My mistake , I see that you listed 1979 . My Family hunting group were camped 15 miles east of Gunnison , Colorado , at base of Tomichi Dome , near Waunita Hot Springs (I can't remember proper spelling) , and the temperature...

I totally agree with you about Jerry Kuhnhausen's 1911 Shop Manual . Also , you can go to BROWNELLS.com , go to their : Bench Talk , News , Views , and Tech Talk . Look for Tech article titled "2 1/2 pound Trigger Pull", by Jack Weigand . Near the end of the article/story , he describes "SEAR...

I also agree with Quiet Texan . Try to locate and buy the Federal Gold Medal Match ammo to use for accuracy testing . If you can get 2 boxes , I would run a 10 shot test grouping , otherwise I would suggest 5 shots , that way you will have 15 remaining for usage after possibly making changes...

Have you checked the scope mount bases and rings for proper torque ? I would check those again before your next range session .

ntsqd , I , too, remember being scolded for leaving a door or window open and letting the "Bought Air" out of the house . Same exact words , "Bought Air" . You have brought back some old memories , Thank You !!! DMP25-06

Sorry for your losses , and I hope that you can secure the necessary components for reloading . I used a LEE Hand Press for many years of reloading , and it did an amazingly consistent job . It was very reasonably priced . DMP25-06

Just get a Ruger/Marlin Model 1895 lever-action .45-70 , and load it with Underwood 430 grain Hard-Cast lead bullets .

Dave , Precision promotes OCD , and OCD demands Precision . I am also OCD about most things . DMP25-06

The "Dice" man , Andrew Dice Clay . I had a tee-shirt made with his words from "Ford Fairlane - The Movie" On front of shirt - "So many A . . holes ....... Back of shirt - So Few Bullets" - Ford Fairlane I should have ordered a case -full of those shirts , because I could have easily...

Yes , cursing is definitely THE Language of automotive repair .

In my limited experience of hunting Coyotes , I have always tried to look-over the area that I am going to hunt ( as In my #1 ) Try to enter the area quietly , and out-of-sight , then sit a while before beginning my calling ( somewhat similar to my #2 ) Unfortunately , I have NOT completed my...
