    It's funny you call him a terrorist. My bride now has this feist/rat terrier. I'm helping her train him for squirrels. My nephew calls him a terrorist as well.

    which twist for 22-250 build?

    I built one in 8 twist with a 26 inch barrel. If your 400 yards and closer. Run a 1-12 with 55s. If you shoot farther. Run an 8 or 9 twist. 70 RDF was my bullet of choice. Then it disappeared.

    Wounding mechanisms

    You haven't missed much. But everything an fmj can do. A different bullet can do better. Except being inexpensive. I've noticed the gel blocks don't always mimic the killing ability difference in real life. FMJs are either devastating or a failure. I don't like the risk of a complete...

    Dirty little secret ... I know who Bubba is!

    Just chamfer the square edges and hit it with spray paint. I'll give you $50 plus inflation for it;)

    Chiappa Double badger?

    I didn't get it. I came to the realization I have more guns than I want and am going to pare them down a bit. Before getting another. It's bad when you go through your gun room and go. Oh I forgot I had this one...

    Thumbhole stocks

    They look dumb. They are either a love or hate thing. I love ones that fit well. I hate ones that don't. I shoot better with a well fitting one in field position. On a bench I don't notice a difference.

    223/556 OAL question. with 77gr boattail hp

    The with cannelure 77SMK had much better terminal effects in my experience. So I shoot WC on coyotes and use the W/O fire target shooting. Since I could find them more easily. I don't crimp either. Just seat to 2.25 and shoot.

    I Messed Up Bad

    This is what I do for swivels that have worked loose. I would do the same for an oops. Or I would leave it....

    I'm in the hospital because I made a near-fatal error

    Looks like you have about twice as many staples as I did. I'm happy you're doing well. Just take it as easy on the pain meds as you can. They hurt progress more than they help after the first while. I'll pray you don't need them. Just like some people did for me. What is the Tattoo? It looks...

    I'm in the hospital because I made a near-fatal error

    It is very humbling. It also can be used to refocus on what is important and what isn't. I don't sweat the small stuff anymore. Don't let one mistake beat you up forever. We just put a lot more emphasis on it because it's a firearm. Every day we do things that are dangerous and can potentially...

    How to ruin your tighty whitey

    Yes to everything you said. I had one revolver blow up. It just felt like a normal load. But the word noise and smoke said it wasn't. There are tons of blown up muzzle loader and rifle pictures with grotesque injuries.

    How many here have killed a chronograph?

    I killed two by trying to shoot in too much wind. They crashed to their death.

    Surviving a gunshot wound

    I am about 90%. My groin muscle on the affected leg is weak. It makes it difficult to climb. But I was able to climb a tree and cut it from the top down today. So I'm doing alright.

    I'm in the hospital because I made a near-fatal error

    Just remember when you hit slow points in your recovery. It could be worse.

    I'm in the hospital because I made a near-fatal error

    You should be able to get it back. I went a week after my incident and retrieved mine. Just had to sign paperwork. You'll be joking about it before you know it. My mom asked how far I had to go to shoot my rifles. I told her my driveway:). My wife didn't see the humor in it. My brother about...
