  1.   Once again, not elegant.  Not as elegant as handloading and hunting them with a $500 handgun.  Much more 'sporting' our way.   Though I have knocked them out of the air with my hat and stomped them, when not properly armed.   Some of my son's in-laws in Ontario think that shooting bees is unbelievably redneck and typically American.  I agree and don't want to disappoint them.
  2. All I use a press for is to decap the used brass. All other operations are manual.
  3. Nah - it lacks elegance.
  4. I use cardstock and hollow punches - 5/16 for the overpowder wad and 3/8 for overshot. Still using old walnut hull media for shot, 2 grains of Bullseye. Not a recommended load, just what I use. I got nearly 50 bees last year.
  5. The plastic trays out of small pistol primer boxes make dandy beer coasters.
  6. Hope all bee hunters have their loads worked up for the annual Carpenter Bee massacre!
  7. Doc Holliday - "I know, let's have a spelling bee!"
  8. Was this Officer Farva by any chance?
  9. I believe the words 'up to one year' indicate that it's a misdemeanor. I don't think disbarment is out of the question. Just my opinion . . . Edited to add - I read 'up to 5 years' so I guess it's a felony and the Graybar Hilton.
  10. I did attempt biscuits one time in an aluminum messkit (think Boy Scouts). Ended up with half of a messkit and charcoal inside. We built a GOOD fire!
  11. No, never used one of the ovens.
  12. I40 to I81 to I77 to US19 to I79 to I70 to I76
  13. Batman likes black!
  14. I know people who are avid collectors and who don't hunt and shoot a lot. They also collect ammo.
  15. I understand the SASS shooters use them, so the price may reflect some (perceived?) demand.  Winchester hasn't made one in a while..
  16. 1/2 cup soy sauce 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp Worcestershire 1/2 tsp Tabasco 1-1/2 tsp Mrs. Dash 1 tsp liquid smoke
  17. It wasn't me who left the seat up - I use the sink.
  18. Then there's the Ruger M77:
  19. That's what they could do before they ran the tooling into the ground.
  20. Doxycyline?  Wow - that's what I took for an infected tick bite.
  21. Ain't that purty!
  22.   You know the answer to this.
  23. I've been through countless power outages, including 2 that lasted a week each.   For an emergency toilet, you can buy a toilet seat that fits on a 5 gallon bucket.  I keep a bucket and seat with a pack of dry RV holding tank chemicals stored in it.   Battery powered lights are handy, but expensive to run for a long time.  I keep 4 filled oil lamps in my house, have used them more than once.  You won't read a book by one, but you can find the toilet with one.   If you've ever been thru a power outage without a means to cook, you'll pick up a dual-burner Coleman stove at the next opportunity.  If you like real coffee, an old-fashioned stove top percolator pot is wonderful.   Liquid-fuel Coleman lanterns put out a lot more light than an oil lamp, and they put out significant heat also.   If you're forced into combustion heating and cooking indoors, be sure to crack a window for combustion air.  Don't go to sleep in a room with a combustion heater that doesn't have an oxygen-depletion sensor on it.   An old rule of thumb says that, for lighting, propane is 4 times more expensive than liquid fuels, and batteries 4 times more expensive than propane.  For a long-term outage, and you won't know if it's going to long-term until it's over, you should gravitate towards more liquid-fueled appliances and fewer battery and propane. 
  24. I have those on my round-butt 65. I like them fine.
  25. Agree, made between 1946 and 1970.
