    O/T - Re W 748 powder ageing? Any experience?

    powder can get old,also lots of rough handling over the years could have caused this. the time of year and the the temp at what you originally tested your load could also be a factor. dont forget,underloading can also cause all these signs also so if powder has deteriorated that could be the...

    Time to duck - asteroid on the way

    worked for nasa boys many moons ago,their thinking was while a machine could give you data,a person could give you real time observations. even today when we have so many really good cameras and things,what we see is still just images and a portion of the whole picture. Thats the reasoning...

    Varment rifle

    i guess,it would depend on what your calling varmits. In my own experience if your using it on coyotes youll need to be sure to hit them right for a instant kill.they are pretty tough little critters. on another hand though,was stuck out once with a bunch of old guys for a couple of weeks,and...

    Osage orange

    another thing,check with your local forest service,or soil conservation service. here at least they sell bare root seedlings cheap. the most important thing to remember is to plant them close together for a hedge row. they have to be crowded to grow in a bush shape.

    Osage orange

    rubber on steel wheeled mower

    very common back years ago to convert these to tractor use. in fact i personally used one for many years. they did have the problem of weight and one of the ways that it kept from destroying itself was if they became clogged or picked up a stick they would simply slide the tires.this created...

    rubber on steel wheeled mower

    lots can be converted simply by changing wheels and bearings.BUT!! most of these machines were ground driven,they actually need those lugs on steel rims,and very often weight on the seat also to operate correctly. one way to convert one to say parade use is to simply cut the beads off a...
