9 Years !! Heck I'd love to get 3 yrs out of mine. Usually 1 yr until I went with a glasmat that's up to two.

We used to do it both ways, when I was young dumb I hooted and hollered and moved quick and rarely saw anything and never got a shot off, as I got older and smarter a slowed down and saw more deer and got a few too instead of sending them all to the 'sitters'.

I lot of good suggestions but I'd find a clean used Dan Wesson super mag, caliber isn't really all that important.

Wouldn't ya just love to have even some of that talent and skill? I look at that stump and just see wood!

I'm more than capable but I have it done, the cars are cheap at $30 but the truck holds 12 gallons so that's a PIA to drag that drain pan out! (actually I've never done it) it gets new oil every 50,000 so just shy of 3 times a year.

Yeah! Now I want to hunt there too!!

Wait a minute, he expected you to leave even though you didn't see a ground blind yet he clearly saw your tree stand and he's talking about hunting etiquette? And all this on public land, WTH is it with people? Years ago I hunted an old unused farm with the owners son, we had some guy try to kick us off saying that he owned it!

I would check in with the DEC and under NO circumstance would I ask the FAA! I think your going to find that as long as you have permission from the landowner your good to go.

I've been using them in a Ruger 77 carbine and have taken 4 deer with them, never recovered any of them but all four deer pretty much dropped right there! One managed to get about 50 yards. I have no idea how they'd work from a shorter barrel and I'm not going to try them in my SBH as I have them loaded up pretty hot. I've been down the handgun only road before, usually it's either my SBH in .44mag or/and a TC contender in .35Rem. and sometimes a Dan Wesson .357.

I think I'd try running that brass thru a .223 die first to get it back to what it should be, maybe even run it thru an 'M' die then final size to .222

Could also be a few of your primer aren't seated all the way in the pocket and when the firing pin hits it causing the primer to move deeper and cushioning the strike, after that the primer looks seated and has a FP dimple. Check your unfired rounds with a straight edge or place them on a hard surface and see if they wobble. I had a similar problem years ago with my Contender in .35 Rem. and that was easily fixed by changing to pistol primers instead of rifle primers.

Lots of PC info on the castboolits web site, I've been playing with PCing some of my cast pistol bullets and haven't done much with rifle rounds yet.

Defiantly not, but I wish it was and I had one!

Send him a letter, I had a similar thing happen to me with an online order, turned out the owner passed away suddenly and the family had no idea of what I wanted done with the parts. Hope you get it back.

Oh yeah I forgot! Do NOT under any circumstance do what some people say and disconnect the battery while engine is running to see if the alternator is working! All sorts of electrical gremlins happen!
