All my dry firing is in the standing . Due to infirmities I can't shoot sitting or prone well anymore, but I can stand.
I learned from a WWII paratrooper vet named Arnold back in 1959 who was already an experienced reloader. First cartridge was 7.65 x 53 Arg using C&H dies that I still have and use. Brass was...
One must drink the soup.
I live in AZ so I mail order stuff. Graf's powder shoots well for me in percussion as well as flintlocks. Decent powder.
I'm 77 and got a flat in a pretty non accessable road on a large farm. I changed the tire myself, it just took a long time and I hurt for the next couple of days. just make sure you have a spare...
Wife bought me a TC .54 cal Hawkin kit back in the late 80's. Shot it a little back then and put it aside as I was shooting serious HP. About three years ago I started shooting BP funs again. ...
First new car was a 1968 VW forest green VW beetle bought in Murray Ky, when the 63 VW died.
Life is not safe. Sometimes comfortable, sometimes uncomfortable , but not safe.
I've got directv and most of what is offered only a moron would watch. They do have a lot of movies but I hate commercials during movies. Some of their historical and nature based stuff is good but...
I got a set of custom ear plugs made at Camp Perry years ago. They were uncomfortable, weren't any better than the store bought cheapies, I never learned to like them.
I bought a used one to shoot .32 mags in. At first the cylinder was hard turning. Took it apart and cleaned it all up and it has worked well since.
I aspire to be a ten year old but I'm only 76. Gotta ways to go I think.
The last AM post that I had anything to do with is a stinky old bar and questionable kitchen full of old drunks that make too much noise. Also the post tried to sue me and everyone else that had...

In my 9th year of a 20 year police career.
If I was in bear country I'd carry my Ruger .45 colt, loaded up, in a Diamond D chest holster. Fast access and comfortable. When I'm just out and about mod. 19, or 18, or 48, Smiths in the Diamond...
I put the shell base in, closed the action. Poured 50 grn 3F down the barrel and tamped a folded cleaning patch down over the powder, I tamped it pretty hard. Then I poured 7/8 oz shot down the...
How about the inline muzzle loaders permitted in the black powder seasons in places. They are center fire.
I only did this lark because it looked like fun, and it was. I'll probably keep doing...
I saw a video of a guy shooting a 20 ga nef or h&r shotgun he'd loaded like a muzzle loader. Darn, I had to try that.
Got the shotgun, an nef break top 20 ga. Needed to shoot a couple of shells to...
Due to the luck of the draw I have been on vacation since November of 1991, when I retired. It still looked like a beach scene to me though.
I have an 1873 that was cut down to a carbine. 45-70 cal. I load 55 grn 3f behind a 315 gr. gas check bullet. I lube the bullet with a home made lube and lube by hand. Accuracy is real good and...
This happens when a govt is afraid of the general population.
I've a s&w mod. 59, and a RIA 1911a1 in 9mm. Also two 9mm subguns. An M11/9 with a Lage conversion that is a real hoot to shoot, and Sten gun. Sten's fun but the M11 is funner. Don't laugh at the...
They should take the chubs and work it off of them. They used to do that. Now they won't hire them to start. I question them on this. Most aren't too stupid, they unfortunately have not been...
