Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

My Ruger American Rifle in 223 loves the Hornady 52 gr BTHP.

My preferred cartridge for the 30-06 . Works well on deer and coyotes. Haven't tried it on zombies yet

I like M2AP in my Garand Works good on just about everything. LOL

Not that anyone cares but 1 in 3000 calico cats are male and only 1 in 10,000 calico cats are fertile male. The majority of male calicos are sterile.

I was just reading up to see if there was an odd chance that we had a male amongst the two new ones. Joey has been in heat, she is definitely female LOL.

What does that have to do with anything on this thread? LOL. It may be one bit of useless knowledge that hasn't come up here before, but lots of useless knowledge has been posted.

I shoot sst in my .338 win mag. Never not gotten a deer or larger sized animal with them. Love the v max for the .223/ 5.56.
The 22 mag is currently shooting 40 gr hp, but once I'm out it's getting 30 grain v max and accutips.
Pic of some of the collection is last.

In my Ruger American Rifle I load Barnes 168 gr TTSX fairly hot. Modern bolt guns can take 270 Win pressure, which is higher than 30-06 factory load pressure.

They did the best in my bullet testing, and I took the 8pt with it this year.

What's walnut? Is it some relative of this HVBW that I keep reading about on Craigslist ads that say I should be paying people big $$ to take trees down that are hanging over the house, powerlines and @rarefish383 's next fishing boat?

The factory Norma 48 grain bullet loads do not even open on them, I think the bullets were intended for big game! My 52 and 53 gr Hps do a nice job, but nothing like Factory 130 - 270 win loads, they near cut woodchucks in half! Too soft (IMO) for big game hunting unless you are in an open field.

If you want to have fun with the kids, fill a coffee can with water and put a cap on it and shoot is with the swift! When you move up to 5 gal buckets, the 300 Win Mag does a much better job!

The Norma Factory loads were the most accurate bullet I ever shot from the gun. They would put holes in holes at 100 yds.

Do those have a big rounded tip?
Funny, I don't think I've ever shot a swift before. I've shot a lot of oddball rounds though through the yrs, mainly when I was younger.
I was at my dads the other day and I almost took some pictures, maybe I'll get some of his shelves later. He was looking up the prices on the 17HMR's and was surprised at the prices, I ended up finding a better price than he did, being an FFL dealer(purchasing agent for a club) he was a bit surprised. He also wanted to make sure he had enough 17s, we went and looked and he had like 7 or 8 boxes lol.

This Is English walnut that I got from the tree service score. This is the first time I've dealt with it. Not as widely known for being highly valuable like black walnut, but maybe only because it is less common? (That should make it even MORE valuable!) I did have to suppress my laughter when the tree service guy told me how highly valuable it was and that I should look it up on the internet to see what people would pay for it.

It has an interesting grain and I may cut a couple of boards for my brother to do some woodworking, but the value for most of it will be for heating my house.

Able to get 2 quick loads in this morning before everyone was up and I'm off to work on other things.

 

[MustangMike]

My brain must be loosing it a bit … Looked at the box, they are 50 grain semi-pointed soft points with a (on the box) Muzzle Velocity of 4,110 FPS!

They just make a pencil hole through the woodchuck and they run before they die.

My Hp loads anchor them on the spot.

I noodled some Red Bud today for bowl blanks. I was wondering if Red Bud was rot resistant like Bk Locust and Bk Walnut are? I use those noodles in my flower beds as mulch. Previously I used wood chips from the tree guy, but they would decay after a year and then act as compost. Weeds would start to grow despite a weed barrier. I hate to pitch the Red Bud noodles if I can use them.
