A hundred years? Umm, Where did you learn this tid-bit of information at? Or were you just making it up? I'm leaning toward "you made it up"! But hey, I reckon we've come to expect that from you!Quote:

It wasn't until 1932 that any company began selling commercially-made guns for the cartridge.

Easy does it ya'll. Like it says, if ya' live in a glass house don't throw stones.
rebel. You and Nell are right . Standing down.
Standing down. Thats one of those military terms like "As you were" and "Fall in"Quote:

Reminds me of when Gomer Pile first went into the military. His DS kept telling him to "fall in". Gomer would say "in to what". So the DS made him dig a whole to fall into.:D
You hit it on the head. 25 years of military just won't fade away :) . Besides I guess it makes sense to save the "big bite" for when it would actually do some good. And as for "As you were" , this is the way I was. :)
I loved the first 15 years of the military.....it was the last five that sucked....well there were a few years in the 80's I didn't care to much for. So I guess I only really enjoyed from 1987 to 1994. The rest of it kinda sucked........except that from 1992 to 1994 I was going to JRTC allot and that really sucked. Ok now what does that leave me with like 2 years that didn't suck. But that 2 years I was working in the MAC terminal. That sucks almost as bad as going to JRTC. I must have had some fun in there somewhere..........I hate to think half my life sucked. :(:(:(Quote:

That attitude about "taking care of the troops" kind of "stunted" my career progression, but when all was said and done, do not regret it. I still get an occassional call or email from some of the guys. And since I had a concurrent career as a Fed, the experiences also helped me .Quote:

I have just recently made it one of my goals to take a moose within the next couple of years with the little scout rifle. I have found it not to difficult to get within "slap them in the face" distance. So my plan is to make my shot at less then 25 yards. I will only take a head shot to ensure a clean kill. By the way, it is legal to hunt big game in Alaska with a center fire .22 caliber rifle. Maybe I can pull this off when AKS gets back to Alaska. I have every confidence that the Hornet is up to the task as well as myself.
Now that is up close and personal. :) I do believe I am going to keep my eyes open for a Scout. I am easily "led astray: :)
I have a load that uses a 45gr. Barns XLB, 13grs. Hogdons lil'gun and a small rifle primer. It crono's right at 2700fps in my Ruger 77/22 Hornet and just a tad over 2600fps in my M-6 scout.

[QUOTE=klkak;93036]Now this is what I call getting "survival" food with a "survival" gun!
A single .22 hornet 45gr. hollow point at 66 yards. She took 2 or 3 steps and droped.
Being raised an Ozark County farm boy I have had many oppurtunities to witness deer taken with less than ideal caliber/legal firearms. All B.S. aside While not legal here in Missouri...Deer taken with a .22 Magnum don't run any further nor suffer anymore than a deer taken with a Bow... and anything the .22 mag can do the Hornet will do even better still. I have killed 2 whitetails using a 55 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip Handload in .223 Rem.....a little more velocity and noise than the Hornet but I love the accurate, quiet and easy to shoot little Hornet round. And so long as you can track and its legal use it. I have never doubted its ability to take game up to Whitetail size and larger if the need were ever to arise.
Nice shooting by the way.
