I kind of like Trump's agenda myself !!!!!

Bet he had a bad headache after the noise in confined space, unless he had ear plugs.

Bought a used Scout when lived in Va. back in the late 60's, tough old bird. That thing would climb a tree if you had some way for the tires to get a grip on the tree bark. Had to change the back main seal on it was the only mechanical problem. Floor boards rusted out and had to repair them. Wish I still had it.

The Frankfort arsenal tumbler with ss media works really well. Still has the noise factor . Really clean shiny brass inside and out, cleans the primer hole if deprimed. My ss media will rust if I don't dry it after use , usually set it on my mold heating hotplate to dry.

When I took mine many moons ago they used a paper man sized siloutte and I did all head shots, but can't remember the distance. Granddaughter will be using a revolver probably a s&w m&p 38 spl with 4" barrel. Thanks for the info.

Granddaughter is taking her class sometime in March and she needs to practice to qualify, need to know proper distance to set up targets. Thanks

Got a good 4" or more on top of the ice left from Friday. Looked out my dining room window and another car stuck at the end of my road. Neighbor up the road from me, slid off into ditch, two wheels off the ground, don't know if tractor will pull it out or not, went down and plugged tractor up to warm up and we shall see. Hate this mess. Loved it when was young would be out rabbit hunting all day on a day like this. Life goes on, everything changes.

Snowed most of the day yesterday, probably 7 to 8 inches by the time it quit. Had a knock on my door about 7 oclock last night, guy had tried to turn around at the intersection of the main highway and road I live on, drifts were so bad couldn't tell where the road was, he was going to his girlfriends house, girlfriend being a pharmists and would have to go into Murray, Ky to work today, he was going to drive her to work in his 4 wheel drive truck. So went down and cranked the tractor and pulled him out of the ditch and sent him on his way. Hard on a 71 year old to walk in that deep snow, had me puffing hard by the time I got back into the house. Hopefully sun will break through and snow will melt off of roads today. will have to get out in it today to feed hay, not as bad as yesterday as was snowing so hard could hardly see where to drive down the road to put out hay for cows.

Wrong end of the state, J & W Army surplus in Trenton, Tn. Picked up three of the 18.5" x 15" tall x 7.5" wide yesterday for 15 bucks ea, Man they have a lot of surplus stuff there.

More range time, haven't shot much the last few years. Have several rifles and pistols that need some exercise, along with me. Need to speed up my reflexes, lose 30 lbs so when I turn sideways will not be such a big target.

Back many moons ago my paternal grandfather grew his own tobacco and hand rolled cigars from it. A few farmers still grow tobacco here around Cottage Grove and Palmersville area but nothing like before the great tobacco buyout, mostly dark fired.

Going to pick up my new Ruger single seven from my transfer guy today, chambered in .327 Fed mag. My new varmint gun. Waiting on brass to come in so can make some test rounds, have a mold on the way also. Am going to shoot mostly cast boolits in it. Any one with experience with one of these?

The flaw in your argument DaveTn is the the difference between legal and illegal carry. Illegal carry has a hugh impact on gun crime statistics. Legal carry citizens have a lower crime rate than law enforcement, so all the studies I have read say. If those gang members and criminals quite carrying illegally, gun crime would go down drastically . They would still find ways to kill each other but with different weapons of choice. You cannot take crime out of criminals, the only recourse is to punish them. Rehibliation does not work very well, as has been proven over time.

Have you looked at the Ruger single seven in .327 mag? Can shoot the H &R 32 mag, and the 32 S & W long and short. Might have to get one of these myself. With 7.5" barrel , custom loads this thing should be a joy to shoot, for old crippled hands.

During the early 80's had a dingo-blue heeler cross as a cattle dog, instead of going for the heels always went for the nose, doesn't work well trying to herd cattle. During the early 60's HC Spinks clay co had large land holdings here in Henry and Weakley county where they ran cattle on and they kept leopard dogs to handle anything their cowboys on horses couldn't, especially mean bulls, one would go for the nose and one for the back heel . The leopard dog was also used to hunt hogs with down south back then.

Maybe because we have too many of them

The 22 rimfire brass can be used to swage .223 bullets. The 40 cal. brass is also used to swage 45 acp bullets.

Red333 have you tried 410 shotgun wads in the 45 Colt shotshell loads? Should help the pattern some.

One of the victims was from Paris, Tn. He as a nurse , working in Jackson. His wife is a orthopedic surgeon. I know her father, good people, wrong place, wrong time, never know when bad things will happen, pray for their families.

Don't blame the messenger blame the guy that wrote the message. Still a lot of bad feelings, but have mostly let them go. Lessons learned never trust politicans or buracrats, never get involved in some other country's civil war. Feel blessed to be alive. I once was a believer in American system, but when you have morally weak humans involved crap happens. As for how the series was presented, thought it was well made and well presented. No bad feelings toward the Vietamese, they were victims and only doing their job. Hanoi jane and horse face Kerry I will never forgive.

Some of the old timers used a corn sheller to take the husk off. After they are dry and ready to crack sprinkle water on the dry nuts and let them sit a while before cracking with a walnut cracker and the hulls will be flexible and not shatter to bad, sometimes you can get the meat out in halves. Love black walnut ice cream and my wife makes a 4 layer black walnut cake that will tantalize your taste buds.

Just saw on Fox breaking news the Corker will not run for re-election. Finally some good news.

One more thing to remember when exposed to chiggers. If you don't take precautions to kill the chiggers that get in the seat covers of your vehicle after riding in it after being exposed to chiggers they will eat you alive the next day. Learned this from first hand experience, not pleasant to deal with.

The second episode just reaffirms what was presented in the first episode. I was young and dumb and believed what the news media and politicans were telling us about our involvement in Viet Nam. If had of known all the facts would probably had a different view of the war. My dad thought JFK was great, but doubt he would have thought so if had known the truth. The old saying" THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE" is spot on. Kennedy left them Bay of Pigs guys high and dry, [ stranded] when it was time to assist them during the invasion. The 101 st AB had troops loaded on planes and sitting on the tarmac ready to go but Kennedy would not give the order. I guess that is why history is never revealed until the key players are dead and gone. If Kennedy had intervened during the Bay of Pigs blunder, there would never have been a Cuban missle crises.

First episode had a lot of the background on why we were involved in the conflict to begin with, after WWII. I read the book, The Ten Thousand Day War, a few years ago and what Ken Burns documentary presented was also in that book. Haven't had any bad dreams in a long time. Looks like a well presented documentary. I've never had but one person to specifically thank me for my service there, other than the people at the VA. After I came home and saw the crappy way we were treated, kinda lost my trust in the politicans and the government. Will be watching the rest of the episodes.
