    Trail boss..?

    Am liking TB for 44spec/44mag and my 480. I'd not throw out charge weights either, but not for the usual safety or liability reasons. TB is just different. You figure out whats needed, in your brass, with your bullet. Touching the bottom of the bullet, no air space, is max. You can download to...

    Puma white hunter

    Have one friend with one, just always thought them a bit pricey for me. Ithaca track nives used to catch my eye, but never bought one of those either. One Gerber Presentation here somewhere. It never left the house. Guess I'd look at Randals before Puma too. I won't ding ya for wanting it, go...

    Sights that confirm God had a hand in making

    I don't dispute the photography is top notch, or that GOD had a hand in it, personal preference here. I like green. Rock, rock, and more rock, means you are a million years from fertile soil. A pine clad Montana hillside, does it for me. Gotta be an Elk hiding in there somewhere..

    Sights that confirm God had a hand in making

    My wife would top my list. She emits warmth and light like the sun. As far as scenery goes, I prefer more northerly and greener places. The SW, desert, Grand Canyon and all, look like hell with the fires put out, to me. Sorry. Montana, Idaho..upstate NY, the UP,,Maine. Yup.

    paper wasps/yellowjackets

    I've done a good job of keeping the wasps numbers down using my rice loads, but then, now I have 5 hornets nests ! Three within a ten foot area ! Can't fight one without them going the mutual support route on me. Then found two more ground nests in the yard. Wife out shopping now, wasp/hornet...

    Lost a son

    No children here, but have spent way too much vacation time at funerals. Not much family left. Hate to hear the phone ring. A child, a son, it doesn't get worse than that. Am so sad for your family. Will spend a moment with my God in your behalf.

    Hotel gives Porsche to wrong guest, refuses to pay up.

    While the Hotel may not have stolen the car outright, they gotta be libel for some degree of negligence. Say...33,000 + court costs ?

    Alaskan man survives "halitosis range" bear encounter.

    Think he was back pedalling and tripped. Then shot went thru foot. I wouldn't say he acted surprised either, I'd say he acted prepared. Now, that he's had this happen twice, am thinking an investigation is in order to be sure that he is not in some way prompting the attacks. A slight possibility...

    500 Linebauge load data

    I don't have or load for it. I'd suggest contacting CP and Linebaugh. If you'll at least tell us what suitable powders you have on hand I can check the manuals I have.
