exactly!! so much easier than in different lighting determining what straw is or isn't, don't care if it's straw or which shade of red, when the crayon mark turns color it's there! simple and lazy, like me..

sure thing. I don't mean the finished dimensions for the cases, what I meant and poorly said was, say you want to make some .369-30 Purdey brass... you, or at least I have to then look up the dimensions of the finished .369-30 Purdey and then go through my whole book of comparable brass and see what has the closest rim size, thickness, etc etc etc OR I can just open Ken's book and flip to .369-30 Purdey on page 284 and read the cases that can make that cartridge are; .369 NEPurdey or .450 NE Basic using RCBS form and trim dies... Need to load for your .270 Ren ??(not a typo, that is a "n", R-E-N, page 176 instructs to simply fire form from 22 Hornet brass with inert filler... much simpler, as I am, as well.

I have a 1991 Johnson 2 stroke 3 HP outboard that ran fantastic for all its life, VERY strong motor, and has a new water pump in 2003? or 04? , and has been in the shed for 4 years, has a mouse nest in the cowling so I'm betting a carb cleaning is in order. general tune up since it's sitting so long. this is a 50:1 2 stroke and works great on rowboats and on the 18 foot Grumman canoe. I'm discounting the price because of the needed tune up. $100 cash pick up in Bennington Vermont also for sale $100 cash is 2008? Mercury 4 stroke 4 HP I bought in the Hartford Connecticut Cabelas to use on a horsepower restricted lake that year here in the east, it has been winterized and in the shed in Vermont for 4 years I checked it over and think the gas line into the onboard tank/ external tank switch is split, it looks like it to me but I have no gas on hand to try it and after heart surgery I can't even lift a gallon of milk so pull starting these motors is OUT of the question. Cabelas told me figure $100-$175 for complete tune up and gas line replacement if needed, carb clean, etc. and not to be in a hurry for it... Do me a favor and take both these motors off my hands for $150 for the pair if bought together for cash. Pick up in Bennington, Vermont, email is SlickRockPack at Outlook dot Com

I'd love to take gun trades but let's be reasonable.... the problem ends up being someone paid $1,200 for a gun then put $400 more into it and I don't even want it to begin with now you want $800 value I say No, and I'm the bad guy .... Listen, let's keep it simple, everyone likes cash we can all agree on what a $100 bill is worth.

older 18 foot Grumman canoe model 1850c, 79#, weight capacity 840# with a max horsepower of 5hp used but well cared for. $600 cash, msrp $1,580.00, has a few stickers on it and a couple dings, but very ready to paddle. I do NOT have any paddles or life jackets for this, sorry! located in Bennington, Vermont, email is SlickRockPack (at) Outlook (dot) com

Arrived finally back east to empty the house out in Vermont and sell it and there is much I can not take back with me to Wyoming First up For sale , my first canoe! this is a Grumman standard weight (69#) standard gauge (.050") aluminum two seat canoe, it is 15 feet long, aprox 35" wide, the 2017 MSRP list has these at $1,396.00 Weight capacity is published 650 pounds total people and gear but that's not leaving much freeboard so don't be silly. I'm asking $150 cash. I think that is a heckuva steal. it's been around the bend and back, needs a little TLC and cleaning as it has been sitting out under these pine trees and oak trees for years, but is solid It is ready to use but a bead blast or even a power washing would make her shine like new. I do NOT have any lifejackets or paddles for this, sorry! It is located in Bennington, Vermont my email is SlickRockPack (at) Outlook (DOT)com

First, welcome to the world of cartridge forming, it is addictive and quite fun. when using range brass or any brass of different manufacture, especially military brass, you will find a variation in wall thickness, this ofcourse effects the case capacity, which dictates the amount of powder you're going to use and type, to achieve the results desired, namely an accurate load. in all cases you should, post forming and sizing but prior to loading, fill your cases to the brim with water ( NOT to be done anywhere ANYWHERE near hot lead) and measure the volume of the cartridges, sorting them by volume then again by primer pocket dimensions, but that's not a big issue as in a long life of reforming you will reform the primer pockets several times anyway. In going from 223/556 to 222 the full length resizing will not need annealing, the factory annealing is enough, but you will eventually anneal anyway, so learning to do it correctly is very simple and easy. I started out with hot lead annealing and was pretty happy with it, sticking with it for decades, I preferred it to various pan methods that were popular then, which amounted to standing cases up in a baking pan, heating the necks and or shoulders then knocking them over into the water to quench.....this has a positive in that you can't anneal the head this way, which is critical, the heat sink of water won't allow it, but it leads to much debate about equal annealing as one side of the case is going to quench sooner than the other, etc etc etc, So I stuck with hot lead and liked it, other than the lead fumes you get at high heat, which is needed to anneal properly. then about 20 and some years ago a chance meeting with Ken Howell had me trying his preferred method which I found superior to the lead method. in a nutshell Ken modified a hand drill to hold the Lee shell holders and chucked his cases in the drill, slowly rotating them under propane torch tip. the reason I never liked the torches is I have difficulty seeing blue, which is the color you are looking for in a proper anneal, Ken solved this with a quick trip to the welding supply shop and making a mark with temperature sensitive pencils on his brass, the crayon set for color change at 660F is accurate to within a degree or two. Perfect. as a gift that year Ken gave me a signed copy of his then new book, "Designing and Forming Custom Cartridges for Rifles and Handguns", by Ken Howell. an irreplaceable data source saving hundreds of hours of looking up dimensions, it's all in one place right at your fingertips, I would recommend getting a copy. If you can't find it on amazon try bookfinder (dot) com to answer your carbide die question, there is no reason to need carbides in a rifle reloading operation, the selling point being you can skip the lube but if you lube everything anyway you will notice a marked decrease in force needed to resize a lubed case vs. a non lubed case even in carbide...over tens of thousands of rounds that is a felt difference in the shoulder and wrist. So skip the carbide, especially with the new spray lubes, it's not a hassle at all and makes sizing smoother.

sleeping red fox in sagebrush

feeding griz, sleeping sheep who woke up before I got really close, ( I like taking close photos of the critters while asleep, don't you?), sleeping elk, feeding moose, and another typical day in absorka country

Antler restrictions but not for shooting immature bears ? weird how it's trophy hunting on one hand and 'biology' on the other.

Very pretty! :-) Many worse places to sit and look around

No 44 mag rifle or carbine is a tack driver, the truth is that at whitetail hunting range in the east most rifles even the"inaccurate" ones, are still more accurate than the shooter. If you want accuracy, pin point accuracy, you don't start looking at a straight walled pistol cartridge for long range. You want to pitch in the major leagues and you're asking "which bowling ball should I buy?"

simple choice pal, Ruger 96/44, nice light carrying rifle plenty accurate to 75 yards, and it's a Ruger, and it's a Lever action. fun fun and fun.

far out, someone wake me when they start arguing in star wars and hobbit talk

don't annoy things bigger than you, or they may eat you is worth remembering...

Do not make yourself into a graven image, do not be remembered for your physical body but for the life you led... bigfoot , also, amish. the photo is ....100% crap camera placement, , I don't think much of game cameras but is there a reason no one sets the camera up high, angled down, like you see security cameras? they don't set security cameras up knee level why are the game cameras set there? again...on the ground, there is your answer to what was standing there....it's RIGHT ON THE GROUND. weeping jesus on the cross is it against the law in all of NY state to look DOWN??

there is only one round for the 30-06 and that is the 165 grain PP, we've carried the same rifle and round in our group from Vietnam to maine, corawan to sudan, put the bead on a deer sized animal right directly on the shoulder, you want total energy transferal and shoulder meat is not something you will miss eating anyway. on a bear hold in front of the front shoulder, bears are not shot behind the shoulder or on the shoulder if you can help it. if you've hunted with a 308 before the 30-06 will open your eyes wide, its way more gun than needed for deer sized critters. having more experience dropping bad guys with the ought six than critters ( and we've killed hundreds upon hundreds of critters) we here all agree that if you shoot a person with a 308 they fall over ---hit them with a 30-06 165 gr and it picks them up and slams them on the ground. It is simply awesome energy.

remember those bucks walking up to you and feeding calmly when you are in a store full of scent killer and the lastest gotta have it camo and stuff.....its complete and total BS...you don't need any of it...and if people spent any amount of time in the woods they'd learn to sit still, be still. its that simple. you just saw that.

yepper, its a grizzly sow and cub you're hard to fool!

I'd buy a 22 or 22 mag, 218 bee, or hornet, the faithful 25-35 and 32 special in that order. I have a .35 336a bought new in '50 or '51 , home rolled 180grs have taken a ton of game but the rimfires are used much much more I have owned just about every caliber a lever comes in and do not care for the pistol bullets, that includes the 444 and 45-70 for my kind of hunting. if I was hunting long range big game with a lever I'd go with a BLR take down, you choose your favorite flavor. as I say the rimfires get the most use, they never get taken off the dining room table, always at hand. another lever I used a massive amount of time growing up was a 2 barrel set savage 99, the 22 high power with a 410 barrel, wish I had that today, but you can find them.

I took 3 or 4 more photos before leaving, maybe a different angle will help ID it??

Nope, we landed here 1637, little place called Virginia colony. My wife's family watched my family land.

Isn't it funny how terminology differs from location to location? I saw the title "Big 6 pointers " and went ..HOLY CRAPPIN CRAP, I gotta see this!!....but there weren't any 6 points!! LOL this one turkeyfeathers posted is a good example of what I'm getting at, this is a 2 point here we don't count brow tines, and one side is counted only. This is a real nice 2 Point your buddy got ! so you can imagine what I was picturing in my mind reading Big6 pointer !! what would that be there?....a 14 pointer I guess!
