    The dumbest thing you have ever heard

    No one said this thread had to be about hunting, so the dumbest thing was: "YES" when I asked my spouse-to-be to marry me. I am not the finest speciman of manhood on the planet.

    Removing paint from cast iron

    PS....I only paid 50 cents for it and they cost about $20 new. So the sky is the limit on restoring it. The sky is about $10 plus my time.

    WHAT OPTICS ARE YOU USING ON YOUR MINI-14?

    Weaver 3-9 I have had the receiver and barrel crogenically treated, had a trigger job and added a barrel compensator. Did a little shimming of the stock and receiver and get 1MOA with my handloads. If I were somewhere besides the big city, I might go for a better scope but here I am just...

    Best compromise for 243 and 3006

    Remember, there is IMR 4350 and H4350. I would opt for H4350 for jacketed bullets and IMR 4350 for cast bullets. Let the discussions begin.

    Please help....

    We went to Costco and ran up a bill so large the CC would not cover it......I had to open my wallet stash (previously unknown to SWMBO) to cover the rest of the bill. "Where did that come from?" SIGH!!!!

    Pistol brass catcher

    Ditto on no problem reloading.....I have been reloading for 21 years for a Glock Model 36 (45ACP). Loaded to about 800 FPS, round ball and using the original Glock barrel. FWIW, One time I let a round get through that hadn't been crimped and boy did that tie up the action until a very strong...
