Good bye Good luck saving your forum.

I tried my best to be a poster on here, but I seem to be a burr under the saddle of many on on this site. So the best course of action for me at this time is to ride off into the sunset. The 4-5 old guys on here that really like the way things have always been will continue to ride this forum on its...

My thread on chain saws

What brand of saw does everyone own?

I have a Stihl, its a modest sized one as I don't do a huge amount to cutting. It has worked well for me, I have had it 10 years.

I like the fact that Stihl makes 100% of their own parts.

Re: How many rounds to burn out a .204 bbl?

One time my late father was at my house, and looked at all of my rifles. Why do you need all these guns? You can only shoot one at a time....and I told him if I am in a PD town shooting, when one gets warm I set it aside and grab another one, etc. The light bulb went on for him that day. I try to no...

Re: Small Caliber Posted Results Shoot 2024

I like that, no money involved (the root of all evil!) and some pride for whom ever the "winner" is. Let me know, I want to shoot. I have to do better than 1.8" group

I wouldn't take it personal. This forum is on life support. Hopefully this will breathe some new life into it.

Re: A new hope-

I was thinking I saw a video from the Hornady people who helped develop the .204R They wanted to insure that the bullet jumped into the throats. That is coming from the memory of a tired mind.

Skipper, do you know the trim to length off the top of your head? All of my manuals are downstairs.

Re: Small Caliber Posted Results Shoot 2024

Exactly and well said Skipper. We just have to trust each other also, and shoot for fun, more than anything else. The one to beat and top is yourself, as TK mentions. Its the same reason I never cheated at golf. I would have no idea if I was getting any better. and in golf, you really play the cour...
