Good to hear. Thanks. I’m going to shoot it tomorrow I think. I have a bit of a cold so I have to see if my parents are ok with me coming to see them.

I may take you up on that offer. I didn’t buy one because out the door with bolts and broadheads I was at $630. We can meet up for those raffle tickets anyway. After next week things should lighten up for me.

Just received an order from gunmagwarehouse. A couple of 9mm happy sticks. The korean kind so we'll see how they do. They were very inexpensive so I figured why not try. They are mainly for my AR9. Also bought two Magpul 9mm Glock mags and two oem Glock 23 mags. Not pictured is a Magpul mbus front sight also.

Yup. I've messaged with him about it.
Unless something else happened I'm not aware of.

I’ve always wanted a nice side by side. I have an old one that is t really safe to shoot so it just sits. It’s unfortunate because I love the gun. It’s a bit big and heavy but it’s old.

Nothing special...
These caught my eye while in Harbor Freight
Think they'll be the nuts for turkey hunting and crossbow season. Quite comfortable with breathable backs actually, great dexterity.

That’s all you have? You should be ashamed. Now go buy something worthy.
On a more serious note isn’t funny what gets you excited. I found nice leather husky gloves at Home Depot in the spring for $2.97 and I was excited. More excited when they cashed out at that price.
I keep getting texts from some spam account saying I can last 3 hours with their meds. Guys- nobody wants that. Not her. Not you. Nobody haha

CreedChow for mine and my buddy's. Planning on activating the Grendel for deer season again. I was considering the RPR as my spot isn't too far a walk from my parking spot. May change my mind yet.

Nothing fancy , just a little indoor plinking ammo.
Among the items I had acquired from my late uncle was an early production Winchester Model 07 in .351 SLR (photo below). As I knew absolutely nothing about the rifle or caliber, other than how obscure it was to me, I sought out to find as much information as I could. I'm a small collector of antique and obscure firearms, and have had avoided potential tragedy a few times by performing a bit of due diligence beforehand (see: low-serial numbered 1903 Springfield, Egyptian FN-49 with broken one-piece firing pin, and other less catastrophic).
As a result of my Google-fu, I happened across an old article by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons from 2014 that reviewed a monograph about this very rifle and caliber. At the bottom he gave contact information for the author, so I initiated contact immediately.
I'd been speaking back and forth to the author, who always replied with substantive and thoughtful content in his emails, to which I would respond in kind, and after receiving payment he sent me one of the dwindling number of copies of the second and final print. His willingness to engage in thoughtful dialogue throughout was very considerate, and the simple gesture of a personal inscription means a whole lot to me in the days of instant gratification and three click orders to your doorstep in two days:

I've heard of that cartridge and rifle. Once popular with pre-war law enforcement.

Nice! A guy I used to work with has one. Finding ammo was tough. There is a store not too far from me that may still have some. Not cheap though. Jamison used to make brass for it if you can find dies
I currently have around 100 rounds for it. About 2/3 of the monograph covers customized tooling for dis/assembly and reloading, and includes a few vendors that carry projectiles and brass. Appreciate the info on Jamison brass, I believe Graf & Sons carries them. I already have a full set of Redding dies for it, and a line on the projectiles (Hawk, Inc) and brass (RCC Brass). I believe there are ways to modify the rim of .357 MAX brass and turn an extractor groove that will be about .090" short OAL. After a complete teardown, inspection, and cleaning, I will be working up a pet load for this once I assemble all of the bullet components and get used to how the old factory ammo works with it.

Just arrived
Ima try these in my Browning BPS 12 gauge. Some years ago I purchased the extra Game Gun deer barrel V2.0, with rifle sights, Invector choke system, and included 5" OAL ported rifled choke tube.
I call it V2.0 because it was offered between the original Game Gun deer barrel with rifle sights and fixed Cylinder bore (for rifled slugs) and the later version with fully rifled barrel and cantilever scope mount.
Up to this point I have used the Winchester/BRI sabot slugs which according to Winchester are for use with either rifled choke tubes or fully rifled barrels, and they have performed quite well. The drawback was cost, $13/box of 5 pre-Covid.
These were less than $6/box, and I believe due to design (undersized 2/3 oz. sabot in a slightly modified shot cup) they will stabilize in my rifled choke tube, at least to 100 yards or so anyway. Brenneke makes a fine slug and these appear to be of the quality you'd expect.
I've seen these new slugs catalogued on Brenneke's website for a year or so, finally saw them available online.
Edit: back of the box states "Suitable for use in smoothbore and rifled shotguns with any choke"...might be useful to some of you boys with smoothbores, the plastic shot cup will definitely eliminate those tedious lead scrubbing chores. 309 grains @ 1,673 fps at the muzzle.
