Re: About those water jugs-

Less explosive is my thought. In the past some members have reported that the 35 Bergers are a more "fur friendly" way to take coyotes.

Re: About those water jugs-

I know where my money would be riding on this comparison if water filled one gallon jugs are the targets.

Hornady 32 gr Vmax - velocity 4225 Feet Per Second, polymer tip
Berger 35 gr FB - velocity ??? depends on reloading specifics, fully jacked hollow point

Re: Shooting the 1911-

You hardly ever see swords in Marine day to day duties. They are mostly used for formal ceremonies. I didn't learn sword drill until DI School on Parris Island. Swords were a commonly required for any type of parade or formal ceremony. Not every Marine needs one, but they are often required for Nonc...

Re: Shooting the 1911-

Here's an interesting fact. In the Marines the Colt 1911 is only issued to Noncommissioned Officers and above. That was E4, Corporal and above. We weren't even allowed to qualify with them until receiving our blood stripes. That's the red stripe down the legs of the Dress Blues. Marine tradition say...

Re: Annual Sausage Making

You had me so stoked for something different today. After playing at church, I went to see if I could find some mud bugs for lunch. No such luck. The weather has taken it's toll on this year's crop of crawfish. I'm looking forward to eating a few pounds as soon as they become available. Mudbugs and ...

Re: Tell us about yourself...

Greetings fellow members, I do not yet own a 204 but am gathering the components for a build. I have a Sako 85xs action and stock, and am currently searching for a barrel. I have it under good competent authority that the lilja barrel in the Swap Meet forum is still available. You should contact hi...

Re: Annual Sausage Making

Right out of the Marines in'79, I shot a deer and decided to process it myself. Lesson learned. Now I send it to the local butcher to process. Call me whatever you will, but I would rather pay someone else than carve up a deer. Don't have the right tools for that. On the other hand now, ducks get br...

Re: Annual Sausage Making

That looks like a lot of family fun, and some good eating as well. What do we have to do to get an invite next year. By the way, those stuffed jalapeños look like they could cut the mustard here in Texas. We have a special love affair with jalapeño ANYTHING! I'll bring some fried teal with creamy ho...

Yessir, those are bluebonnets. In a couple of months when the spring starts they will blanket a good portion of the Lone Star State. It's just gorgeous that time of year.
