For Tom264.



I said it was bone white before. The actual color is Oxford White, which to me is....white.

Is that a Fisher or a Martin? I can't tell.

Never mind....I found this after I read further.

Dangit Dude that there's too purdy to take huntin

Wanna bet?

HAHA No I aint bettin! But I do wish I owned the car wash close to ya!

How bout that Petterson ? Aint he something? we sure miss him!

I do wash it a lot.

friend of mine took his new(1500 miles) chevy 4x4 on our trip to Montana one year.He drove it down one of my uncles ranch roads,and put a huge scratch down one side.I told him the damage was done,we might as well get some use out of it.About an hour later,he hooked his running board on a stump,and tore the entire thing off.
We had to drive my truck the next year.

Oooh sweet ride Tom, I like that white better than the off white.

Also try some seated deeper. Those TSX's like a run to shoot really well. Some shoot great seated to the front pressure relief ring.

Thank you sir.

I do want to get some different wheels. I just can't get into these. I'll get 33" tires when I wear these down.

I'm at the top ring now at 3.180

You can still see a little bit of the ring at the neck but I'm pretty much there.

I guess I'm .046 off the lands, I could go another .006 and make it 50 like many suggest for the barnse.

Thanks.

Tom, my 26" 8HP Toro weighs 236#. When both wheels are locked it can be a pain to turn.

I really have no reason to lock the wheels. The driveway is 50' by 35' so there is a lot of turning.

Tom's gonna be the favorite neighbor when the big fall comes this year.....

I already am the favorite neighbor.

I think I'm the last in the 'hood to get a new thrower. Mostly because I'm too cheap. I was clearing my next door neighbor's most of the winter because he neglected to change oil in his thrower and she came apart during a heavy, wet, snow.

The older one will go on craigslist. It does still work but it's wearing out.

I don't think another 0.004" is going to make that much of a difference really. Once your sure your load is what you want try changing the COAL by 0.010" increments in either/both directions.

You're already on the right track with the load workup.

I think I'll play around with powder charges in the 62.5 - 63 area.

Settle in on something in that range, set the scope for the load and just go hunting.

(It's a hunting rifle, I have to keep reminding myself of this)

Even still... I think MOA should be achievable if it's going to be a "keeper"

Even my model 88 in .308 with a 46 year old 3-9 vari x II strapped in a in weaver tip away mount will do an inch at 100 yds.

If I can do it with that old lever action with it's horrid trigger and antique optics... Well it puts things into prospective a little, sets the bar for mildly accurized modern bolt actions with newer glass... ya know?

Given the reality that all ya need do is be able to reliably smack a paper plate size target at any hunting range, yez all sure like to split hairs

Welcome to the fire Mule1!

Yes AP/AD is something else. I cannot even fathom where his stats would be if he had a decent run blocking O line and didn't have those years in Chili's "kick azz offense".

Alright enough football talk. The younger bucks are chasin fellas! Had a smallish 8 point chase two small does across the road in front of me yesterday morning on my way to work. I slowed down for the does and almost turned Mr. Horny into road pizza. Missed him by a frog hair.
