    Fliers Or Perhaps Flyers

    ACTUALLY YOUR FIRST SHOT indifferent because its in a clean barrel. It will usually land outside the group of the following 4 shots. To avoid this odd problem I would begin each day with 30 or 40 grains of whatever dropped down the barrel and with no projectile. fire this load down range, Then...

    BILLIAM. THE WEE PICTURE BY YOUR POSTS LOOKS LIKE A FEDORA WEARING GANGSTER FROM A '30'S CAGNEY MOVIE. I WOULD LIKE A BETTER PICTURE FOR MY not ROUGES GALLERY OF GOOD PEOPLE. I AM JUST ABOUT TO ADD THE PHOTO OF ARABBI WHO HAS RECENTLY JOINED MY COLLECTION OF REALLY GOOD PEOPLE DUTCH

    BUYING A PREOWNED RIFLE

    I wasn't seeking reasons for selling or donating or leasing or bequeathing a rifle. I was showing a simple test to avoid buying a ruined one. i apparently can't write clearly.I may go back to crayons. Dutch

    BUYING A PREOWNED RIFLE

    It is harder to read all capital letters than to read lower case letters. When I note I am using all caps I try to quickly change it to lower case/ If someone found that offensive. I agree with him. I hate it too. Dutch

    BUYING A PREOWNED RIFLE

    Having been married I assume everything that goes wrong is my fault.. I wanted to warn members of the congregation about one BIG risk in buying a used rifle and a test to make sure you don't buy a damaged one. I mediately get a load of responses giving me a large number of reasons fo selling a...

    Fliers Or Perhaps Flyers

    I wrote this short piece on flyers or Fliers and got not one single comment. Why the silence? Does no one get them any more? I didn't have one the last several years I was able to shoot. I contend, which means nagging endlessly that fliers ARE CAUSED by y the shooter. If caused by a twitch or a...

    Early Days or Daze

    What decade WHAT would have been. probably, If you are referring to my Crisco/Fry cook days it was in the '70's. when I suffered from Newbie's ignorance which I solved and began foisting on the public, shyly, in January of 1983. Dutch

    Anybody else prefer a 1-48” twist?

    NO, THE FELT WAD TOOK THE PLACE OF TOO THIN A SHOOTING PATCH IS MY GUESS A wad of east nest will do the same job. While wads will often give you some accuracy It's simpler just to have a shooting patch of the right thickness and it eliminates a step in your loading. A 4 x 4inch piece of your...

    BUYING A PREOWNED RIFLE

    IT ISN'T HOW THE BALL MANAGES THE BULGED BARREL IT'S HOW THE PRODUCED GASSES FLY PAST THE BALL WHEN IT GETS TO THE BULGE. MOST BULGES ARE LOCATED WHERE THE SHORT STARTER LEFT THE PATCHED BALL , 6 OR SO INCHES AWAY FROM THE MUZZLE. NO BALL FIRED PAST THAT BULGE WILL ACT WELL FOR YOU. ONE LOCAL...

    BUYING A PREOWNED RIFLE

    If the barrel is OK It can still have a future. The barrel is the rifle. Al the rest is just trimming plus a way to fire and aim that barrel. A gunsmith friend in Los Angeles caught antrax when refurbishing a rifle found tucked in a semi collapsed old barn. So a little sanitation the old...

    BUYING A PREOWNED RIFLE

    I DOUBT VERY MUCH THAT YOU WOULD NOT PREVENT ANY BUYER FROM RUNNING A A FEW DRY PATCHES DOWN THE BARREL BEFORE BUYING. YOUR SALE WOULD BE A real great deal. NOT A CASE OF DUMPING A LOSER. DUTCH

    BUYING A PREOWNED RIFLE

    This is mostly intended for Folks not on the ML Forum. I doubt many riflemen would happily sell a deadly Accurate rifle. Reasons for selling a rifle: Have a more accurate rifle Cannot get accuracy out of this rifle Reasons for no Accuracy: Ignorance of any idea what is required to produce any...

    BY saying you have a pillow ticking patch is meaningless to me Joseph.It is the thickness when crushed between Ballard bore. The very name, Bore Butter puts me off, perhaps unfairly, I tells me it's probably quite slick. I once thought slicker was quicker and tried to keep mt patch lube really...

    I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE FORUM. IF I UNDERSTAND IT IS THAT I WANT THE COMMENTS OUT WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE THEM. THE FORUM, AGAIN AS I UNDERSTAND IT IS OK. BUT THE PEOPLE RESPOND TO ME IN WHAT I GUESS ARE THE JUST BETWEEN US GUYS ALERTS. IT AIN'T THE FORUM, IT'S US. DUTCH

    WHENEVER I WRITE SOMETHING ON MY THREADS OR ANYWHERE ON THE ML FORUM I GET A GOODLY SUPPLY OF RESPONSES. THE ODD THING IS THAT ALL THE RESPONSES SHOW UP IN THE ALERTS SECTION OF THE FORUM LIKE YOUR RESPONSE IS A SECRET THAT WE CAN'T SHARE. MY REPLY TO THE ALERT IS EQUALLY SEQUESTERED AWAY FROM...
