So I am easily a XXXL these days, and I haven't even helped build a boat in a very VERY long time. What size pirogue would I be looking at to pack a 350+lb feller and a bit of gear, and how inexpensive could the build be? Just curious Richard

Ya gotta love it when a simple design comes together. Richard

No problem, enjoy the loads, and good shooting. Remember the Unique load has been tested for rugers, marlins, rossi stainless model 92s, etc. If you are shooting anything else be SURE to check the min/man for nonruger firearms. The trailboss load should be safe for anything per IMR. Richard

cajun spices would probably rock on it, but my buddy is a spice wimp... oh well sounds good anyway. Richard

There we go! Enjoy! Richard

hairymick, I would like to point out that he ain't my president.... I still don't believe it is even legal for him to BE president.... I didn't vote for Clinton, he was still my President, I voted for Bush, he was certainly my President. This current..... bugger ain't and never will be my...

Spent some time yesterday canning peas. I canned 9 pints of purple hulls, and 7 pints of cream peas. Recipe is simple as follows, and should work with ANY fresh pea or bean. shells peas, and rinse. Put peas in a pot (I prefer old speckled enamel) and cover in about 1/4 of water. Boil peas and...

But if those people had read the way McCain had voted he didn't always side with Bush. At any rate the reason the statement got my ire up was because there were actually democrats here walking with signs telling people that Bush was trying to get reelected, and there was NO dissuading them with...

I hear ya Bob! I don't go to Houston anymore unless I can help it. Richard

I like a good latin, or bolo machete either one. Cold steel has a decent bolo machete, but the handles leave MUCH to be desired. If I ever pick up another one (the last one grew feet and walked off from my truck apparently) then I am going to make a set of wood handles for it. Richard

I would like to point out that the "anybody but Bush" comment is complete malarky. Bush served two terms and COULD NOT have been reelected. Bush did a good job in one of the country's worst times. There are things he did I didn't like, but that's with ANY President. Anything would have been...

You said it Jack! Richard

Actually at most decent restaurants and barbque joints around Texas Pintos ARE cooked fresh daily. Your cook usually shows up around 4 am to start everything for the lunch crowd, and his replacements usually starts cooking at around 10am to cook for the dinner crowds. That is just for the slow...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.... The same way I have felt since that illegal alien took office. Richard

Whew sorry guys, between a brief sickness I am just getting over and the flood of work at work I am just now getting back on the board. My Unique load that I also use in addition to my trailboss load (for a little warmer loads) is as follows. Starline 45 colt brass CCI large pistol primer 9.0...

Sorry work has been heck the last few days. As soon as I get a chance I will dig up other loads beside the trailboss loads (those loads I already posted of course) Here's the thing about trailboss. Without compression and purposely doing it you CAN NOT double charge a case with trailboss...

oops a quick one on loading by volume and trail boss. my trail boss dippers (read up the old instructions for the lee powder dippers) are ONLY for trail boss. They are NOT safe with other powders. To measure 90% I mark the case (a spare case from whatever round you are loading) where the base...

Dunno if Bob does, but I do. What grain weight are you shooting? Is it jacketed or lead, are you casting your own, what brand of firearm, etc. Or if you are looking for a basic safe accurate cowboy load. 250grain lead rnfp (I use lasercast) 90% by volume of Trail Boss (Yes trail boss is safe...

I attached a picture of my usual carry items. A USMC Kabar, A Scharade sharpfinger, a scharade 3 blade pocket knife, a 38 snubnose, a 1911A1, and a Ruger Blackhawk in 45LC Richard

Yeah I never understood it. You can't legally carry a tomahawk here either. Swords being banned I could ALMOST understand, but I think we have tooo many laws anyway. If some guy decides to opt out of concealed carry but wants to pack a broadsword across his back, I STILL don't think a punk...
