Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I still pick up brass.

A couple of interesting ones here.

7mm Rem mag at left, and 6.5 Creedmor at right.
Both are new headstamps to me for brand, and my first Creedmor case.

Also found 3 live rounds of .22 L/R - hollow points all. :bigrin:

Finally got that Discovery scope located, and onto my 24" .177 bbl'd 13-22.
Pix of that in a bit.

It's now zeroed enouigh to hunt with.
I hunted all afternoon, and not a single bird.
I did flush a big ruffed grouse a bit after legal light expired.
It was far too dark for me to shoot.
Tons of the little chatter box red fox squirrels along the river trail today.

Regards,

Doc Sharptail

Another interesting topic is the odd brass found when hunting. I happened upon a pile of 223 blank brass a long way from the nearest trail out in the buttes.

Can't imagine why anyone was messing with it way out there. Plus nothing dirties a gun like blanks. In the military, I most often gave all mine a toss without firing it.

Yelled, "BANG!" a lot! ;) :bigrin: SW
