I bought plans for a big 20' stitch-n-glue about 15 years ago. Fiberglass dust doesn't agree with me now, so I plan to convert it to aluminum. We'll see...
I called NorWest a few years ago about their 26' Chisasibi. They were years out and don't ship. Hate to hear they had a fire.
Can't get a Scott in Whitehorse anymore. I tried to contact the company with no response. I called the only distributor in Washington and got the run around. Too bad. Covid and Communism spread the same way but the later will be harder to get rid of.

Pressure CX v LRX v TTSX
RinB
04/23/24
Does anyone have any ACTUAL EXPERIENCE with the relative pressures generated by the CX bullets compared to the Barnes LRX & TTSX? I am loading .277” 130’s.
Please no speculations.

Re: .405Win Barrel

.405 Brass and ammo is definitely available, just expensive! So far bullets are in pretty good supply, both Hornady and Hawk, to name two sources.
If you're craving a .460 S&W single shot, then the Miroku is probably a good option. The Ruger .460s command big premiums, especially the ones with 22" barrels. Ruger has also made a run of .450 Bushmasters in the #1, and some of these are out there for semi-reasonable prices, but they are in the stainless & laminate wood models. The .450 Bushy of course also uses .452 bullets so a wide variety are available. .450 brass is readily available. The Number One in .450 is the only one that came from the factory with a threaded 20" barrel, so it is also set up well to run a can. That's what finally got me to buy one.
And I am with Pappy - the Low Wall Winchester, in modern steels would be awfully interesting (and effective) as a lightweight .30-30. I've thought about getting a .22 Hornet or .223 Low Wall rebored to .30-30 I’ve seen some new-production LWTHs in .357 recently. One of those could be rechambered to Max or maybe even the Buckhammer with some additional work on the extractor. As best as I can remember, I have five “deer rifles” that haven’t made their bones yet, so it’s doubtful (not impossible!) I’ll be tackling such a project, but I’d love to see yours!😛 I’m full of good ideas, and sometimes something else……. Another action that could take the .30-30 is the original Stevens 44½. CPA and I traded emails, and they say the originals are strong enough for the .30-30, as long as one doesn't get stupid about loading hot. I bid on a .25-25 on GB, but did not win the auction. Since then, the originals I've seen for sale were too expensive to use as donors. CPA does make a "new" 44½ action, but it is somewhat wider than the original, and presumably heavier. One of the Miroku Low Walls should already have a stock suitable for using a scope, which is what I'd prefer with a .30-30

inflation is one thing but corporate greed is another and i think some CEO guys/ladies are lining their pockets and using that for an excuse
just look at beef prices versus chicken and pork... somehow bacon is worth $8 dollars a pound now and loin is under $4 chicken is still under $3 but a dozen eggs was what $5 not long ago...

Re: Looking for bolt action .22 LR

04/23/24
I have a 457 (wood) and a Tikka (plastic). With my off the shelf, non specialty ammo, they both shoot the same (and its very good). Neither one is as good as my TC contender, but that isn't a bolt action like you specified. I ended up liking the CZ more and I gave the Tikka to my kid, who likes it more. And she is very good at grouse head shots with it...

How old is the alfalfa?

Do you chemically burn down after?

Re: Maine grouse?
woodmaster81
04/23/24
Cold and fairly dry in the top of Maine this spring. Fire danger is elevated today and that is really early. The Patridge population may get a break, and two hatches is a possibility. Dry is generally a good thing providing it doesn't negatively impact first insect numbers and then forbs and other ground food sources for the chicks. It will be far more important at the end of May to mid June when the chicks hatch and they are still in their "fuzz" stage. No matter what, grouse do not bring off more than one brood per year. There may be multiple renesting attempts per year if the nest is lost but once the eggs hatch that is it until next year.

Re: Inflation?

We have not yet seen the full inflationary effect of our currency creation because much of the currency is in foreign markets (hence the common observation that we have "exported" our inflation to other countries). This is why we have not seen the commensurate inflation here, based on the amount of debt/currency creation.
As foreign sovereigns de-dollarize (sell/redeem US debt and refuse to buy more) we will see dollars come flooding home...and the price inflation will be epic. I wish I had thought of that.
