I fully intend on drilling the first thing I see with it, and whatever 3 or 4 critters are behind it.

The barrel manufacturer was kind enough to send me a rifled stub I am using to "form" some of the patched round balls ahead of time, as starting them from scratch in that freakishly long barrel (something Bob will never come to grip with) is kind of awkward.

I'm noticing that survey work in Carolina picks up this time of year, either closing before the end of the year, or building before the asphalt plants close for winter.

It's nuts...

You should know him personally.

Looks like brass and amaranth.

I made one out of walnut and brass.

Only holds three though.

If I work it out right, by using the barrel stub, the rifling will be started some in the thick waxed denim patches.

Probably overkill for a PRB, but then again, anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

true dat, but as I get older

I find that I'm becoming more of a long eared country boy, rather than the long haired country boy of my youth!


oh well guess a guy can't have too many love handles

You're right, it was 85 I was remembering.


Don't recall the exact year, but do recall the water and how concentrated the deer were. Back then, it was like we'd gone to Heaven.


For us, it was more like hell. We had a place in the GW NF all scoped out, a 2 1/2 mile hike up a roadless hollow in the mtns. The place was hit pretty hard, huge trees and rocks piled up like an obstacle course. The water had receded by the opener, so we hiked in anyway, over the obstacle course and I shot a decent 8-point buck.

In those days we checked the deer whole so the three of us cut a pole, lashed the gutted buck to it, and took turns carrying it out on our shoulders. Climbing over all the flood mess just about did us in. I still remember what my buddy Dave said when we got out to the trailhead:

"You can whip me, beat me, or f*** me in the a**, but don't ever let me do that again." It was a classic, and I still remind him of that.



A wise man is frequently humbled.

With the daughter now having a sleepover, would it not be best for RWE to stay home with his wife and daughter; bonding time with the young one and celebrating his bride's 29th (again)? Invite all the kids to stay the weekend and cook them breakfast tomorrow morning, and then his wife breakfast on Sunday?
