Plan to approach the wife for a little loving tonight, most likely there will be trouble but I'm prepared. She's not all that tough.

I'll never tell.

Today its a Taurus G3c with my last 124 grain Triton +P's . Knife is a Case pen knife my youngest son gave for fathers day last year.

Have owned and hunted with five .243's over the years and still have three including my first one. I own a bunch of deer rifles in other calibers but only because I want them, not because I need anything other than the .243 for deer. I have been shooting one load since 1970 and have no plans of ever shooting anything else as it does everything I need it to do and has always been as accurate as I can shoot. I use the now discontinued Nosler flat base 100 grain Spire point with CCI LRBR primers and 34.5 grains of IMR 4320 . That's the minimum load and was the accuracy load in the Lyman 1970 load book for a 100 grain jacketed bullet. Both of my sons have .243's they started hunting with and neither one would part with them.

Last years deer, hoping for another but better one come Saturday. Killed December 26 2022 with my 1920's Remington m14 in .35 Remington shooting 200g Core Lokt's .

Sub guns made between 1940 and 1970.

Is there a list of states that recognize Constitutional Carry ?

My personal opinion is that you should be able to use a gun to protect yourself from any physical assault. The law however does not agree with me and just from the little there was to read , legally it would not be a good shoot, not even close. Even if he does somehow manage to avoid being criminally charged , his Biggest Mistake of My Life comment will ruin him in a civil case. I would guess he'll be charged with murder , if for no other reason than firing ten times and shooting him after he was helpless on the ground.

That's why you got two , use the other one.

Sold for $700.00 . That is $300.00 cheaper than I figured it would bring.

For a while.

Good to go on all of that. The Remington is the oldest and it's way past the corrosive era.

As As far as commercial ammo goes by the mid '30's probably 90% was non corrosive . Some Match ammo was still using corrosive for some reason , can't remember right off who made it but it was a long time in changing. Some of the boxes in that auction are from the 1920's and earlier. The first two boxes of Winchester in that auction would be safe , the rest would absolutely be corrosive and the brass brittle. Look up Ray Giles collectable ammo dealer for an idea how old the older boxes are and how much they are worth. Post pictures of the .32WS and .35 Remington ammo in question.

At one time he was in business with a guy named Warren in the Nashville area , the Business was Creighton & Warren Outfitters if I remember correctly. I do remember it was a very swanky joint . He also at one time had a shop at Charlie Haffner's Battle Ground Armory at Goose Creek exit of I-65 in Franklin . I think he also did quite a few guns that were used on safari in Africa and other places with very large game.

Not too much of an expounder but you can find any amount of info on mercuric priming and the reasons to avoid it on the net. Corrosive is easy enough to clean in the gun barrel and can be done with anything with a bit of ammonia in it but you also need to take the action apart to clean as residue gets in there also . Truth is , the cases may already be too brittle . Age , priming and the powder can all damage brass . If you bought that lot of cartridges for the cost of brand new production 25-20 you could sell them to collectors for enough to buy at least two boxes of new for each one of the old even at todays inflated prices for the new. Those will not likely go cheap if they are well advertised. Good luck either way.
