Thanks Grobin

Tried to use the search but it's not available this morning. I have a Ruger Ranch chambered in 223. I have been told that not all rifles will chamber both the 556 and 223. Mine will chamber both although the cases are different. I suspect that the 556 will not chamber the 223. Am I correct...

About five years ago a minor accident laid the flesh of my right hand just back of the thumb open to the bone. Luckily the tendon was not damaged however. The problem is that whenever I fire a magnum handgun now my hand stars swelling up and getting sore. I remembered that years ago I had an...

Take it easy Karl. I tore a tendon in my heel on my right foot a month ago. I have done the cortisone treatment to no avail. I ice it up every night. I take anti-inflammatories by the handfull and still no relief. Now the doc wants to inject cortisone into the heel. :shock: My problem is...

There, I think I got them right now. :D

Wayne, I think I messed up with the sub titles. Can you explain them better?

I went to the range this afternoon and shot a bunch of the various .22 ammo I've been able to score over the last few months. Temp was 33, winds light and variable, range 100 yards, out of a well-modified 10/22 that shoots one hole at 50 ft. with match ammo. The scope was zeroed with the...

We have a pair that nest here and hang around our bird feeders. Hence the handle. Nice picture.

Yep, Racoons love those tasty eggs. I see them hanging around all through the turtle nesting season. They get them the first night they're in the ground.

For me the .243 or 6mm Rem were very accurate and sure killers for white tail. Never had a deer run more then 100 yds. While the .357 does have more ooomph in a rifle, I still think the range is limited. I did get tired of all the ruined meat when the bullet hit bone and exploded, so now I...

I own a lot of Rugers. Having said that my latest acquisitions are two Henry rifles. I first bought the Yellow Boy in .22 LR, and now have a new Henry Varmint Special in .17. Well made and a lot of fun to shoot. I own a Winchester 9422, a Marlin 39A .22, a Ruger 1022, a Mossberg bolt action...

Is it like what they say about pilots? Big watch, little d...............

I have fired several 7mm Mags and do not care for the recoil. If you hand load you can use a 7mm Mauser and load it up a bit and have a nicer cartridge to shoot.

I have one that I purchased around 1978. I have killed several deer and turkeys with it and love it. I only shoot hand loads with it and since factory rounds are downloaded to accommodate all the old WWII rifles around, I can load it up a lot hotter.

Been shooting it trouble free now. Problem solved.
