Ah! Got it.
Cabelas in Rogers MN had a Ruger #1 in .405 Winchester. Sweet gun but I think they wanted $2300.

Matt knows someone that has one in 9.3 X 74R - very rare and powerful!
Last time I was in the Ruger website, it was only offered in some pathetic calibers.
Matt also has a No 3 in 45-70 which can probably be loaded hotter than a 405 in that gun.

For a time I had a #3 in .30-40 Krag. Very accurate gun in spite of the short barrel.
Lots of people don't realize that "30 US" is 30-40 Krag, and it was our first Army smokeless powder cartridge, replacing the 45-70.
In military form, it fires a 220 grain round nose bullet at 2,000 FPS from a 30" barrel. It was replaced by the 30-03 in 1903 (which fired the same 220 grain bullet) and the 30-06 in 1906 which finally shot a lighter spitzer bullet to compete with the Mauser bullets.

That looks like an accident going somewhere to happen...
I think my phone is broke - I keep clicking the firewood thread and end up in the firearms thread. No matter, I'll just post here and let the moderators figure it out. I will try to use words that you guys can understand though.
I went firewood hunting with my weapon of choice today. I used the 290 caliber and kept pulling the trigger until I had gone through 40-50 rounds. I then field dressed my bounty with my trusty sharpened tool. I dragged it all out with my one wheel cart. When I was done I put it away in cold storage for later use. I can hardly wait to fire up the stove and smell the aroma when it's cooking!

At least it will be smoked when you cook it.Need to post that stuff here:

Less gun stuff there to clog up the thread, since they all seem to be here.

Been scrounging for the last several months. Most has come from clearing the property line to build a fence for live stock eventually. Added it to last years leftover scrounge that I haven't cut up for firewood yet. Some of it came from just cleaning up around the property. I put the wife on the tractor/grapple and she put some green on my dry pile which sucks but at least it’s out of the woods. I’ve got everything from old dry white oak logs that have been down for years to Ash, black oak, hickory, & locust as well as several cedars which I’ll prolly use for fence posts. Persimmon & cherry that I’m gonna dry to use for BBQ/smoking. Now that my lines are clear I’ve got a lot of fence building to do before I get to start bucking & splitting. A lot of these trees were pretty small but I can’t make myself push it up into the burn pile do I take the time to limb it out and carry it to the pile. I kept most of everything down to about 2”. Why not? It will burn.

Looking chilly there, it looks nice.
How has autumn been for everyone? Other than about one week it's been mild here, a bit damp but very mild. I reckon I've burnt about 25% less than normal so far.
Right around freezing here with some freezing rain last night and earlier today. Light coating of ice on everything so we decided it was a good day to stay home - looks nice, but not so nice for driving. Should be gone on Monday as it's supposed to be slightly above freezing.
Been burning mostly pine so far including today. Have tossed a few misshapen oak chunks in overnight when it's colder. Did start burning a little later than the past couple of years.

Yeah. I’m gonna try it. I looked it up and read somewhere that it’s good. IDK but it’s gonna be awhile before I have any that’s dry enough to try. I don’t like cutting them down because it’s a good source of food for wildlife but they were in the way of my fence building efforts. Either way, I’ll use it for smoking or use it in the sop for heat…if it makes any heat….
Hey, don't knock the hunting!
When I go out with my chainsaw, I ALWAYS get my tree! With hunting, it's not quite that easy!
Besides, the variety of subjects and the beautiful pics that are posted (from around the world) are what makes this thread great!
My only regret it that the founder of this thread is not still posting, and he was my age. I miss his posts!
So, enjoy the ride from this diverse thread, and may it make your life richer!

The weather around here has been warm for a bit, then cold for a bit, back and forth.
But firewood is all but sold out, as the large increase in the cost of fuel oil and natural gas has increased the demand for firewood.

I see Clint has been on lately which is good to see even if he’s not been posting.
Finally got the wood in the house today. Here's some pics of how we get the wood in the house. Borrowed my friends mulch bucket which helped cut the number of trips.
We had a wood door installed when we built the house. One treadmill to bring the wood under the deck, down a chute to another treadmill. Then down a plywood ramp to the bump out.
Then we take the lower treadmill down and fill up the box and stack two rows that are 7' × 7'.
This should hold us well into March unless winter gets a whole lot colder.
