I'd come out most every weekend if I knew I could. I am trying to get to 9999 rounds or supplies that can make that many, LOL i been running through some rimfire lately. But I try to pick up a box or two of something every week whether I need it or not.

I know what kind of gun I would have, LOL when were you in Cincinnati? East side or West?

Dixie Gun Works is great to deal with, I have bought supplies and odds and ends from them. I recommend sticking with Pietta or Uberti as far as buying revolvers. Pietta is generally less expensive and Uberti a little more. Both are good guns though. I have one Uberti and I can see where they are just a touch ahead of Pietta. But my '58 Remington Pietta is hands down my favorite pistol. Can't realy go wrong with either. BTW here is a link to Possibles Shop. I have not bought from them before but I know a few people who swear by them. http://www.possibleshop.com/

I think tats are cool if they have personal meaning to the person getting one. I worked with a guy who had tribal arm bands and I asked one why he chose them. His answer was " because they look cool dude" I just kind of nodded I think. To me that is not a good tattoo. i also think names and portraits of people other than your own children/grandchildren ought to be passed on. I knew a guy he had his ex wifes portrait tatted on his chest. He admitted it was pretty dumb in retrospect. Needs to be something no one can ever take from you. At least the Dale Jr. fans can just add another 8 to their arm. LOL Anybody addicted to tats? I know when I got mine years ago I was all fired up to get another, but I never could come up with something I felt strongly enough about to get it put on me.

nice job on pics and videos Cody. I laughed pretty hard watching the clay shooting. Sams' commentary is a laugh riot.

nice looking heater

I just did a quick "round" inventory. I came up with 6100 rounds of assorted ammunition including 2500 rimfire along with, 550 magnum pistol primers 100 lg pistol primers 500 percussion caps 1.5 lbs smokeless .5 lb of black powder .5 lb Pyrodex .5 lb Pinnacle 300 .38 bullets 100 .45 bullets 150 .454 balls I think i need to get some more and keep up the inventory. Especially .454 balls

The entire thing would have been preventable if the HCP man had been wearing his badge alerting the badguy to who he was dealing with.

I ordered the loop lever for it today. Hope I can install the thing. The guy on the phone said it was not too hard.

red what do you want a tat of? Please don't let it be the butterfly on the small of the back.

Canyn, when you gonna man up?

resist the urge to scratch! Post another pic in a couple of weeks when the elephant skin is all gone.

so-so at best. Better than nothing. They do sell revolvers, rifles and supplies. But they are not my first choice as far as sources for balls, caps and powders. Never bought a gun from them either.

Mark your numbers on shots per pound were about right then. I do a lot of shots at 30 grains and the rest dowb to 20 grains. so 250 or so looks right. I tried the paper cartridge thing one time, I did not do very well. I think I need a JoB 1.5 papers to do a better job. Of course I like to mess with different amounts of powder as I shoot just to see if i get different results. Kind of funny, the 1873 I have has a booklet that says "max load is 30 grains, but that is only for hunting and showing off, 20 grains is ideal for target shooting" Well if I am for the showing off when shooting the holy black, LOL. I do lower the amount a bit when shooting the substitute powders like Pyro and Goex Pinnacle When you go to try casting I would like to watch and see how you do it.

hang in there mikedwood. It gets better. Three days or so and the nicotine is gone. I say eat like a pig if you need to, a lot of water and fruit juices help too. nicotine will flush out of your system through drinking lots of fluids. ditch the gum go cold turkey

Mark how many grains of powder is in a pound? I must be wrong but I thought I was getting more than 280 shots from a pound. Dixie is a real good source, Cabelas is good too. There is a place called Possibles Shop ( I do not have the link on this PC) that is a good source too. Try to buy primers and powders locally so you do not get stuck with a hazmat fee. I do not use wonderwads, Crisco works great as a grease over the balls in the cylinder. 45acp cartridge is about 30 grains of fff BP, a .40S&W about 20 grains. I use Lee Powder Dippers. 1.3CC for 20 grains

Check this link, I could post all day long on it and not cover what this link does http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=238769

Right on Daniel, keep it up. Today is fourteen days for me and I feel so much better already. I have noticed the extra money in my pocket too. I guess I spent 28 bucks a week on smokes. Well two weeks now means 56 bucks in my pocket. A few more weeks of this and I can buy a new gun!! Well I have bought enough for now, ( I mean how many guns does a person need). but you get the idea.

way to go BT, maybe someday the libtards will see the light. But without what you all do now it will never ever happen.

I might go there once just to see the place, that is if a member who lives in my neck of the woods invited me, lol. Other than that I belong to a very exclusive shooting range. I am the only member so far but I can have guests if i want

Greg I would be pretty sure any of the downsides to quitting were going to happen anyway , and they would be way way worse had you not quit. For me going cold turkey was the way to go. My wife agrees. she had tried all kinds of crutches in attempts to quit and this time seems to be the one we are both sticking it out with. I do not have the nicotine craving at all anymore, though a time or two a day I think a smoke would be good. Of course I tell myself I am crazy and not having a smoke is whats good! mech you are right it is all about will power. Tomorrow will be two weeks for me nicotine free. I would reward myself but I already shot the wad at the gun show Sunday. Maybe I will treat myself to an afternoon of cutting grass and some target shooting before dinner. That might be just the ticket.

BT, be a man and put your anger aside, wear the holster dude. Have you volunteered to assist the campus rep? Have you contacted her "boss" and offered to help? Just saying... oops missed Brandon's post, do what he says lol

Sorry for your loss Scott . Mark writes much more eloquently than I so his words can speak for me as well. you and Corey were missed.

I smell another attempt at a lawsuit here

in a nutshell that sums it up, no sense mucking things up with more words.
