Might be in some grey dark water reloading right now. Using 45-70 trapdoor data to load 450 marlin. But, I do look for the same powder being used in higher amounts on a 450 marlin chart. Barnes, hogdon powder, and sierra bullets have nice load data listed for free.

I don't like them either. I'm interested in trying both the stalked and a single point. Tired rubbery arms don't shoot offhand too well. I got a 42" 50 cal flintlock that weighs around 12 pounds. The BLR has an extra pound of mercury in it now. Kind have to do something at some point. I...

Thanks Telemark, I checked out that gunshop in Ohio you asked about. They got a 1894 SS 44 mag with 20 inch barrel for 999. Got the father in laws birthday party today at the farm. Doing a little shooting in the quarry. loaded up some slow 1700fps 450 marlin 300gr pills to try on slower...

I've been hit or miss with stark brothers. Saturn peaches are going gangbusters. Franklin cider and macoun have been good. Arkansas black is flopping in the wind, might be b118. Digging her up and replacing with a m111 liberty. I am placing the Arkansas black back in the ground, but 18...

Foggy, I'm no tax guru at all. I thought capital gains on your primary residence isn't counted. Though, do you have to be homeless until your house sells to qualify............

Kind of liking the ETF's. You don't make as much, but way more likely not to loose as much either. Also, its one less thing to be starring at our phones at every 5 minutes. Anything you might consider a solid rock like coca-cola or Disney is going up. Haven't peeked at other oil stocks but...

Any other home brew hunting shack pics? Been slow in the garage this year. My heart is so-so and we've had a nasty cold snap since new years more or less. The oldest kid is squeamish of the cold. He hunts at his girlfriend's family's 50 acres or so. However, I think they're on the rocks...

Probably would not be hard to make a thousand bucks a year selling scion from our orchards. Glad to give folks on here them for free though.

What binoculars do you use for stalk hunting. I've had a pair of Steiner marine military 8x30's for years. I noticed optics planet has them on clearance for $230 bucks. Nice n clear, can look near and far well, doesn't give me a headache using them alot, and they weigh next to nothing...

Had did you do with the setup? Didn't go out several times because it was too warm. Farmland was harvested early this year too, so late season was tough.

Would be bad for my home orchard. I spray. I also stopped planting clover around the trees for the same reason. Mainly Malathion, copper in the late winter, and actara. I like bat boxes. Like telemark, I have a few roosting spots for hawks. I leave extra open room for them too. Also...

Anybody got a favorite? Been doing ok with 748 win powder. 3-4 inch groups at 250 would be fine with me. Savage axis is probably up to the task. Seems to like Winchester silver tips and the Hornady equivalent of that. Just whitetails n coyotes.

MY old plan A retirement gig was to buy a dinner cruise boat or fishing charter. My captain's license is good for 50 tons, also got engineer's license unlimited hp. We're all one bad day away from running the valdez in Alaska. Another fine SUNY Maritime graduate..... I like the you need X...

I grabbed some scion off of a roadside find. There were no water whips. Got a few branch tips, some had fruiting buds on them. Did not have luck grafting stuff like that last year.

Doing some dogwood this year. What's a good time to cut sticks for that? I have some young mulberry trees that I need to prune / train. Will be trying to propagate that too. That's how tnorthrup mulberries I bought were made. Got between pinky n ring finger branches to thin out.

Waiting for most of this snow to melt, not anytime soon. Hoping to at least get the seed in the freezer. Could put it in the garage possibly. Pruning the apple trees in next few days, so that'll be rough enough in the snow. Not much ladder work needed though. Definitely want to get some...

The rototilled plot. I'd wait 2 weeks before planting. Spray the sprouted weed seeds. Could till lightly like 2 inches down to make a seedbed and help level the field. That'll probably prevent a big dose of weed seeds from awakening. The other smaller plot. Once things wake up, spray a...

What usda zone are you? This year try several different kinds of rootstock. Learn what your soil likes. I know little about pears, but they graft as easy if not easier than apples. Another good overall variety is Olympic, an asian pear. I have young Kiefer and Olympic at home. Many...

Sold my 20yr treasury etf since the feds didn't move rates. Bought more cvx. Noticed coca cola went up some too. Trying this newer Berkshire hathaway etf OMAH.

I could see the sling swivels digging into a wood stock. Looked interesting. Ordered the woodland camo one with their swivels. Gotta do something myself with the BLR. Added a 1lb mercury recoil reducer to it.
