LOL! We've derailed this train for sure!

Buy the bullet puller. This may be the first time you need one, but it likely won't be the last. Kinetic bullet puller=the handloader's eraser.

Oddly enough, I've spent a good deal of time pondering that very thing. I don't know about anyone else, but a big part of the attraction to women for me is because they smell good. I'm not sure I could go for a woman who hasn't bathed in forever. I suppose if you didn't know any different you didn't know any different, and hormones just take over.

So far, I've really enjoyed the program. It makes me see things in a different light than I picture it while reading. For instance, I never considered Mary might have been hot!

Also, I can't imagine the similarity shown above was a coincidence. :rofl:

See if you can find some old 1899 Savages while up there.

 Cheap Spanish Smith and Wesson knock off. Sometimes you'll also see knock offs from some far flung region in China. They'll have stampings with english letters, but in random order, not resembling words. Khyber Pass I believe is the Asian area. If you ever see one, the writing on them is quite comical.

I use a little dab on my finger of whatever's in my grease gun in the toolbox. :shrug:

Been a while, but there's a small pawn shop in Westmoreland. During my one and only trip in there, I noticed a Krag, sporterized by Bubba, in the rack. The price tag appeared to say $250, so I asked to see it. As the young guy behind the counter handed it over, while explaining what a 30-40 was :ugh: , I noticed another zero on the tag I didn't see before..... :stunned: $2500 for a cut up Krag!!!! I gently handed it back, eased out the door, and stayed away from there since.

...get a rope!   I would sugest the O.P. watch the movie "Deliverance" before making his photographic journey here. :cool:

Yeah...there's that. :rofl:

Of course. I've thought about this for years. They are a piece of sheet copper, stamped into shape, and filled with priming compound. Once set up. I'll bet the primers are cheaper to produce than to package.

Sure. It is the perfect handgun, just as John Browning intended. As evidenced by it's popularity today, after being in production for over 100 years, there just isn't anything better.

I've wondered what it would take to get started manufacturing primers. I can't see you running out of business...ever.

I think you've gotten to the bottom of it. :up: It's "for the children", right?

New York??!!? Are you going to be taking the photos from an unmanned drone? :ugh: Best first post for a new member in recent memory. :up:

That was fun! Show us some more. :up:

#1 is a toss up between a 577 Snyder and a 58 U.S. Berdan Musket.   #2 11x52R aka 43 Beaumont.   #3 I'm sticking with 41 Swiss Veterli.   These are still all guesses at some really old, odd stuff.

Good call! 41 Swiss Vetterli?

The one on the left is well over 2" long. A 44 mag is 1.61" oal.

.....Thursday causes school Superintendent to close schools Friday.                                                   http://www.maconcountytimes.com/pages/full_story/push?article-Man+shot+in+Lafayette+drive-by%20&id=21978944&instance=top_stories   From what I gather, this was a jealous ex husband. Forgive me for being callous, but why would you close schools over this? People really need to turn off the T.V.!!! If they never catch the guy, are we no longer going to have school? How were the school children any safer on Wednesday or Thursday than they are today? It appears the brainwashing the fear of guns into people is beginning to take hold.

Divide and conquer.

On second thought, I'll give #2 a shot....43 Egyptian?

If that tape measure is in inches, I'm guessing 577 Snyder on the first cartridge, and 577-450 Martini-Henry on case #3. I don't have a guess for #2.

Start with a light load of Bullseye, and work uo to where you like. If you aren't getting enough velocity to suit, start over with Unique and work up. I've read, but can't confirm, that shooting hollow base bullets in a rifle isn't a good idea. Semi wadcutters will probably feed o.k. in your rifle, but wadcutters likely won't. I like flat point round nose bullets in mine, because they feed well.
