Corona Virus Thread
Rattler replied to Al Bundy's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
I guess the writer of the article didn't want to assume the RI Gov's gender, because it was never mentioned. My bad. -

NYS. Turkey Season; Continue Or Cancel ?
Rattler replied to landtracdeerhunter's topic in Turkey Hunting
I said they "can" adhere to social distancing. I didn't say they have in the past. Never been to Naples Creek and if it's crowded on the opener, never will. -

I'm not a Republican. I'm a Constitutional Conservative. Think Cuomo is doing a good job? Watch this video. -
NYS. Turkey Season; Continue Or Cancel ?
Rattler replied to landtracdeerhunter's topic in Turkey Hunting
There is no reason to cancel opening day for trout or turkey. Outdoor activities are encouraged as long as "social distancing" can be observed. Both sports can adhere to such standards. -
Corona Virus Thread
Rattler replied to Al Bundy's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
Containment is an on going issue. It could've been prevented in upstate NY weeks ago, but it wasn't. People like Trump because he's reversing all of Obama's oppressive, leftist progressive Maxist totalitarian dictates. That's not a "wrecking" ball. That's a repairman. He is President because of Obama and leftist baffoonery. He will be a re-elected President in 2020 even if you go to the polls, because a lot of people look at results and will vote for him in 2020, when they didn't in 2016. -
With much less recoil than a .338 WM too. I know. I got rid of a .338 WM to buy the .325 WSM.

Also, loading the round with 180 bullets at a moderate velocity of 2600 fps makes it a great whitetail round. Loading 200 or 220 grain bullets down to 2400 fps makes it an excellent black bear rifle too. If you hand load, that round will do anything you would need a big game rifle to do in North America.

Corona Virus Thread
Rattler replied to Al Bundy's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
People who seem to believe Trump is making things worse, must not know leftist Democrats blocked every move he tried to make in January and February to mitigate the impact of this pandemic in the US. They may not know the relief package he wanted was stalled by leftists who wanted to load it up with a lot of their pet pork spending packages that had nothing to do with the pandemic. They may not be aware leftists are using this pandemic to advance the leftist's favorite oppressive desires, like gun control. They may not know they can choose more objective information channels on their TV set than MSNBC and CNN. I don't see how Trump's suggestion about keeping people from traveling out of hot zones into cold zones makes things worse. If anything, Cuomo's demand to let people travel into cold zones from hot zones is making things worse. Cold zones do not have any cases of infected people until someone from a hot zone brings it there. Using this pandemic to pander to your voting base, instead of making decisions based on what's good for all of America, makes things worse. That's what Cuomo does. He's not a leader. He's a charlatan. -
Any one ever adjust Parallax in a non adjustable scope?
Rattler replied to ApexerER's topic in General Hunting
Looking into my Leupold with the adjustable objective for parallax pointing away from me, it turns counter clockwise to lower the yardage setting. -
Congratulations and welcome to the world of the .325 WSM!! The rounds aren't cheap, but neither are .338 WM rounds, which are almost ballistic twins. That rifle is capable of taking anything that can be hunted in North America. I reload my .325 WSM rounds and can do so for the same cost as any other magnum round. Plus I can load with Barnes TTSX bullets, to have some of the deadliest .325 WSM rounds ever devised, on hand. Probably the most under rated hunting round in the world right now. To own one, is to love it! Good Luck with it!!

Corona Virus Thread
Rattler replied to Al Bundy's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
Cuomo couldn't care less about any lives. If any virus infected individual tried to get within 10 feet of him, he'd tell his bodyguards to kill them with extreme prejudice. Everything he does is a premeditated ploy to pander to his base. If the virus was out of control in upstate NY, he would impose a travel ban into the city in a heartbeat. -
How much ammo do you or should you keep on hand
Rattler replied to Engraver99's topic in Guns and Rifles and Discussions
It varies, depending on the level of anti-gun hysteria and judicial irresponsibility. -
Corona Virus Thread
Rattler replied to Al Bundy's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
And we're all just supposed to forget the SAFE Act, the dead economy in NY, the high taxes and huge deficit, the lack of businesses due to over regulation, his gun control dreams, his hatred of conservatives and straight white men, his bail reform fiasco and his overall corruption? We're supposed to consider him to be a good candidate for President, because the main stream left wing media is making him out to be some kind of problem solver now? Every problem NY currently has was caused by this piece of dog crap. His biggest city is the epicenter of the virus on the east coast. He's not doing anything right. All he's doing is flapping his gums and telling people it's all gonna be OK. No thanks to him at all, but leftists and incompetent Democrats are great at taking credit for things they can't even understand.- 4810 replies

My BIL tells me he sees lots of pheasant on Staten Island all the time. And they're not stocked birds. They're wild.

Rattler replied to Al Bundy's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
I read today Rhode Island is pulling over cars with NY plates and putting the occupants in 90 day quarantine per the Governors Executive Order. He doesn't want people from the city coming to their 2nd homes and bringing the virus with them. ACLU is really upset about that, but he's doing it. -
2 Trillion economic stimulus plan
Rattler replied to Water Rat's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
This isn't an economic stimulus. This is an economic collapse in the making. Ammo. The currency of the 21st Century. -
I'm good with these. Never wanted anything else. Top is a .50 T/C Renegade, 2 others are .45 T/C Kit Hawkens. All shoot very well. The bottom one is the one that I hunt with.

We had a winter storm warning in effect predicting up to 8 inches of the heavy wet stuff in 4O/4P. Wound up with about 4 inches of it in the higher elevations and maybe 3" in the valleys. Temps stayed right around the freezing mark so it clears off the cars real easy, and the temps are expected to rise into the mid 40's today. The next few days are expected to be even warmer during the day, meaning it will all be gone by Friday. I'm not even going to bother shoveling any of it.

Democrats Nix Stimulus Bill With Add Ons
Rattler replied to Steve D's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
Anyone else notice Joe Biden has been completely out of the picture since this whole virus crises began? Seems it was a great opportunity to get him out of the public eye to be "re-educated", stopping him from saying idiotic things every day. The Dems are using this virus crises as a distraction to deflect public attention from their horrible candidate and their socialist agenda. Watch as they start looking to install online or "mail in voting" for the presidential election in November. Those systems would be very easy for them to rig. The Dems are extremely desperate to win in November and they know they currently have no chance. Don't believe there is any limit to what they may do to regain power in November. -

They want a recession. -
Check for a good deal on gunbroker.com. You will find plenty of traditional muzzle loaders on there. I still use my old T/C Hawken .45 caliber for deer. It's very good quality and I built it from a kit. I've been hunting it for almost 40 years and never had a problem.

New Jersey Guy Screwed
Rattler replied to Steve D's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
They issue permits to buy a handgun, but rarely ever one to carry. Their laws on transporting require a locked case, or in the trunk with ammo in a separate place. Best to avoid the state if you can. -
Are they 5.56 cases? The brass is thicker in 5.56 which will make the neck tighter. Try using a graphite lube inside the necks after cleaning them well. Sounds like the neck expander is too tight. Also, lightly lube each case, not just some.
