Never knew how to spell Shexnaydre, but knew a girl by that name in college. She said it was super common along with one other name on the other side of the river, and that the two families had bonfire contests on both sides of the river at a certain time of year.

This is a category where the 9.3X62 really shines. When I first got onto AH, I was astounded that the 9.3X64 was not more popular. It is after all, much more powerful, and to my mind, not a medium, just a 9.3 that is not always legal to DG. But I have learned to keep my mouth shut about the...

I already got a "dislike" for basically saying that in a past post. I don't know ANY hispanic contractor who doesn't operate cash only for income tax evasion purposes. Doesn't matter if it's roofing or cutting hair, it is a given. Then they even qualify for medicaid and other benefits. Doesn't...

Being truly educated is a LIFELONG pursuit, not just a degree on the wall. I have learned 20 times what I learned in my masters degree by applying myself to lifelong learning.

What's ailing the PRC?

I like the way you think, but what is the 9..3X65R? Only one I never heard of.

It has never been a factory round, has it? Great concept all the way!

no takers?

Then why hasn't someone come up with "which soundtrack from another movie is played in Gladiator"when the Germans are still in the forest, near to the time the headless horseman rides in...it is in the background, being chanted by the barbarians.

This one shouldn't be too hard...."You have no idea the effect those words have on me"

I have a friend who thought Marine boot camp was a walk in the park...he had grown up hauling hay for a living and with two cotton hooks would catch and then stack 1500 bales a day. Farm boys do know about work.

30 Newton--it was too far ahead of it's time. Bullet development at the time was not up to the speed. 465 Nitro--THE lowest chamber pressure of any double to my knowledge and a great killer. +1 on the 350 Rigby--it was well spoken of by Taylor. Someone help me--what was that skinny, rimmed 6mm...

I have only used 375 H&H on four buffalo. On one, there was virtually no reaction to the first FOUR SHOTS! There was a reaction, a dying one, for the fifth shot. That has given be pause. "It usually works" is not a comforting mantra. Am watching this thread with interest.

It was a joke--you mentioned "several have burned down"

With or without a Tesla parked in front...?

Holy cow, I'm 20 odd pages behind on "Politics" and don't have the time to read all that. Anyone want to recap what was important in the last week?

My brother in law was heavily involved in BR22--he proved 50x over that he could afford any .22 he wanted. His choice for squirrel hunting was the Rem 541T

Mine is longer than your peevee. Grandpa and GGP used to load logs onto wagons by using turning hooks to roll them up planks. One man on each end, taking turns holding/turning sequentially. They cleared land with axes and crosscut saws in winter when you couldn't farm. Charged $2.50 an acre. Ran...

+1 on the ethanol free--and you don't have to buy it in those expensive little cans anymore. More and more stations have a pump. Buckees does and some 7/11 as well, especially near the lakes.

Sad to see unknowledgeable friends trash their CVT transmissions by not changing the fluid every 15K. Neighbor just had to eat the repair bill--dealer flatly refused to cover it, because she had NEVER changed the fluid. (didn't know she had to, she said) They are NOT the old let it go 100K trannys.

One of my cousins asked his brother, "have you stacked up 8,000 rounds yet?" To which he replied, "man that's been in the rearview mirror a WHILE." They were talking about ONE pistol caliber. I didn't ask about their other rifles, pistols or rimfire....

What will be the ultimate effect of DOGE? Will it just be to shine a light, will it be to curb entirely wasteful spending in the future, or could some of it be to recapture corrupt funds from the ones who took it. Come what may, I could sure sleep well at night if I knew the perpetrators of...

Slave had a "Jefferson" baby--but NOT Thomas Jefferson's. His uncle had here for two years while he was a widower. The new wife insisted she be sent back to Thomas Jefferson since it was known the uncle had dalliance. That is how the baby was conceived. The whole accusation against Jefferson was...

He was right, and then the rat t#rd dropped out, guaranteeing Clinton the win....grrrr.

The pages don't open...

Didn't the Democrats go to court to stop gerrymandering in another southern state "so minority districts would not be eliminated" or some such. They want to have it both ways. Why should Republicans be limited but not the libs?

Anyone ever run a gear driven chainsaw? I haven't but wanted to borrow one from a friend a long time ago. Anyone ever use a turning hook? I have my grandfather's. Sure saves the back sometimes.

I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe for a minute! On the other hand, I think BuckStix definitely has to many and should be forced by law to give me some of his.

A retired police officer once stated, "that family is a real gun hoarding bunch...they have EIGHT firearms in their house!" I calmly asked if it included large bore rifles, medium bore rifles, rimfire rifles, shotguns for upland, or shotguns for waterfowl, and how many in the family hunted who...

The 22 Winchester Dynapoint semi-hollow points in the blue box were monotonously accurate on turtle heads poking up out of the water at 70 yards. Have exactly one box left from all the 5 dollar bricks I bought back in the early 80's.

Sounds like a good cat load?

For the love of God, no, you don't have to do it again! (nobody else does either)

20% is still highway robbery--something all governments are good at...

IF (according to Peter Ziehan) globalization will be unraveling, China descending due to aging population, etc. then it makes sense to move manufacturing back onshore in America?

Too bad Pancho Villa didn't have a judge Boebert to protect him from US involvement across the border into Mexico...he could have used legality to stall all military efforts to contain his activities. Seems it took more than legally processing banditos one by one by one to get the problem...

NO! We should keep our promises (just not be suckers) and it does matter that we are moral.

The article by Malone news reveals the real reason UK farmers are behind the 8 ball and leaving England, as testified by one AH member in a thread recently....the government wants them out and governmental controlled operations to replace them! Hence, the ever increasing, ruinous taxes on...

760 does not have random diff spherical pieces...you couldn't pay me to load with an unknown combination. You are only talking about one pound....and maybe your left hand.

You would think there would be a revolution against the leftist governments, but then, that's why they always try to disarm you first. Is EU going to just cave to these problems without a fight? What does UK think they are going to eat without farmers??!!

They would have been just as well off risking their lives while trying to overthrow Putin.

Not sure I trust/put confidence in the Atlantic in any case.

Pity the intellectuals who actually learn from history--they are still doomed/frustrated to watch the rest of the uninformed population repeat it.

Maybe the Obama years were the most corrupt, just better at hiding it....

Why would I consider a fixation on AH a problem, since I devour every days' entries to the exclusion of Facebook, chores, and hobbies--even working out? It takes so long to get through 4-5 daily pages of Politics, and all the rest, that fishing time is getting compromised, hand loading...

Beautiful rifle, and look at the neck on that brute! Congratulations!

For shooting paper or ringing long range bells, yes. Cost consideration is tied to volume. For hunting, it is as irrelevant to me as the priority or cost of premium bullets--there is little volume involved in the equation. But if I really liked a double or a drilling for the fit, wood and...

Good binoculars, if I have the sense to make use of them. I don't have the game spotting ability of Bemaa's wife, until I lift the binos. The only whitetail deer I have successfully stalked would have in no way been accomplished without them. Super early and late--no contest. More important than...

Well, now you've opened a can of worms. Farmers should not be able to do just whatever they want with regard to glyphosate. Consuming it can cause gut permeability all by its self with no other factors involved--with mammoth cascading health problems. Anything GMO to provide "self pesticide"...

That's so pretty I don't think even @Bob Nelson 35Whelen could poke fun at it being a 243!

There have been some drop dead gorgeous single shots portrayed thus far....my single of mention is not nearly so glamorous. Like me, my youngest brother started hunting with a single shot Winchester shotgun. It's what we could afford at the time. He killed his first three point whitetail with it...
