Fitty's Angling Ramble 7.0

Personally, I'd just mail order a few 5rd mags. Less wasted bulk and a little more streamlined for hunting in the field... can carry more mags in same amount of pouch space, etc... Unless you already have 10rd mags of course.

I have a few 10 rounders, but it would not be horrible to have some 5 rounders.
Do you use certain rounds when you are hunting hogs with your AR? Or would some nice federal 55 grain shots do the trick.

When we were hog blasting we didn't care all that much and just headshot everything anyway, so any old 55 grain would do. Deer on the other hand I really liked the performance of the 62 grain Barnes TSX solid copper bullet. At the time I could only find them in Cor-Bon as a factory load but it performed well out of our AR. That projectile is no joke, it makes some nasty holes in a deer's chest.

my .243 i shoot 100gr solid copper, and 55gr ballistic

Brb, buying wooden dowels to try this out. Do you just throw it down to squish the spring, then load the other 5 on top of it.

It should go inside of the spring, so as not to change the compression of it. It's just a stopper like a shotgun plug. We've gotten out to the marsh before and had people realize there's no plug in their gun. I always carry pencils in my waterfowl bag to fix them before the game warden shows up.

Yea, put it inside the spring. One thing I thought of is to ask the local DNR to see if this is legal, here in The People's Republic it is.

Like the 90g Accubond in my 6mm WSM. The Barnses's copper foul too bad at high velocity.

What's that 6mm WSM pushing for speed? My son's .223 WSSM is at 3850 with plain factory loads.


edit: I actually managed to find a couple peeps who were not on spread!

only pic I took of my fishing outing this past Sunday

[iccyman001]

I played with some wooden dowels today, but I called the environmental police/rangers for Maine and they said it would not fly. SO I ordered to 5 magazines...

3862 fps w/ 72g of Retumbo from a 27" barrell. My accuracy load.
I can push a 65g V-max at 4335 pretty accurately which shreds anything it hits into itty-bitty pieces.

i take it back, i went and looked and it was actually 95g accutip. ive shot the barnes before with my 7mm. they give you 2 free boxes of ammo through the game and fish if you draw a kaibab tag where they have the condors. they want you to use full copper. when i got pulled a few years ago they did anyway not sure if they still do.

I saw an interview once with Jim Harrison where he said "You have to become the characters you are writing about... I just finished a Novella where the main character was a 15 year old girl. It's been a pretty tough couple of months for me."

My most recent project has be ghost writing from the prospective of a 21 year old Thai woman... Strangely enough it's going pretty easy!

[iccyman001]

Just picked up my arrows and broad heads for my bow. I can OFFICIALLY sight it in and practice tomorrow
Too bad I have 3 papers due...

People must laugh behind your back when you walk around the store saying "5 dolla sucky sucky. Me love you long time"

Well this is one of those umbrella statements... Like All dogs are mammals, but not all mammals are dogs...

Same thing... All Thai tranny hookers are legally treated as female, but not all Thai females are tranny hookers.


Although now you've really got me thinking about the part where I describe how you can really enjoy the taste of her fish sauce!

That made me think of GraceOU and her grilled cheese sammich.

Well fish sauce is just like olive oil in that it's best when it's first pressed, especially after it's been fermented for a long time.

You need to see Bangkok in person to believe the sights, serious. Take it from someone who was there for a smidge over a year, I didn't see all there was to see and I saw QUITE bit. If you do go, down by the wharf is the place to go, lol.

I wrote the papers and had time to shoot, win!

[Hartski]

Hope you're at least getting a useful degree, iccy. If you say Liberal Arts, you're dead to me.....

[Hartski]

Okay, so I think I'm going to take a half day and make a chili base this afternoon with the last tomatoes of the year. I have Brandywine, San Marzanos, and some Better Boy maters still on the vine. I also have Ghost, Scorpion, Jalapeno and Bell peppers.

Any advise and ideas?

I have "Chili Starter" packs in my freezer.

Basically core and seed tomatoes, try to remove some of the seeds from peppers. (You don't have to get them all, but the more seeds you have in it will bring a mild bitter green flavor)

Toss in food pro with 4 cloves of garlic... Pulse into chunks. Sprinkle with Cumin and FRESH CRACKED black pepper. Ladle into quart sized bags. Remove all air.

At this point in the game I wouldn't put actual chili powder into the mix, save that for when you actually make the chili fresh etc...

Lat flat in a freezer set to high.

If frozen fast they'll keep up to six months!

Here is a vid someone at the Lake recently took w/ some kind of model helicopter. Pretty cool and in the same general area I fish.

Well, the cook off at work is Thursday, so i don't think I'll be freezing it. Do I need to peel the tomatoes? If so, that will suck.......
