Post up what size you are sizing your boolits to.

Also disassemble a loaded crimped round and measure your boolit to see if your crimp is swaging the boolit down in size

Bill Haast was a herpetologist who injected himself with venom and had high resistance to bites.

"Mr. Haast was bitten at least 173 times by poisonous snakes, about 20 times almost fatally. It...

Yep. My nurse wife came home from work today saying a patient came in to her urgent care clinic. Reached down into her flower bed and got nailed by one. Sent her the the ER.

Yep, copperheads are responsible for most bites here because they won't move when you walk around them and people step on them and get bit. I was setting up for a party here and backed up and bumped...

Leather glove is a good substitute.

Be well aware that your PC boolits will lead your suppressor. I really wanted PC to work for me but the PC or Hitek coating blasts off the boolit base and the vaporized lead condenses in your can....

I understood that you did not and thank you for letting that big guy go. He's a king snake and that means he is the king of the snakes eating venomous ones. A real good guy. In Arkansas I only have...

Thanks. Rice is like chucking throwing stars willy-nilly at high velocity. Tears the wasps up. Here's a vid of one meeting the rice load.

Yes. I want to do it right though so I'm looking for a horse. Then I'll have to find a taxidermist who can mount both. Trying to move the furniture around so the combo will fit in the house. Wife is...

In other thoughts:
Tonight I filled a 9mm case with rice then emptied it in my mortar and pestel and crushed it. It didn't do like I hoped and turned more into powder than granules. After crushing...

Oh man that makes me happy to hear. If new to the area it's always a good idea to ID the local animals. Don't be afraid of big black snakes either. They kill copperheads and eat mice and rats. One of...

No need to resize the brass. I have my progressive set up for 9mm so it does just to punch the primer and seat a new one. I like to cap the rice as I have had a couple fall apart even with a wax cap...

It was. My only complaint was my trigger fi nger getting sore lol.

Yesterday from 2ft which is about the distance where I shoot wasps with rice.

You loading with rice? Those .410 shells would be awesome in my derringer.

Shot a wasp on the ceiling of my deck roof and left a big dent from the wax wad. I am reluctantly going back and capping the rice with a cardboard wad. So I don't have to crimp I melted a thin skin...

I have been shooting wasps with handloaded rice shot loads since early spring. Thread here: https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?467897-Wasp-Rice-Shot-Loads-38-45LC

I started out with...

I got my .45LC to 9mm adapters in yesterday. They work good in the derringer with the 9mm .04gr loads with rice/COW mix. I'm doing a thread on them for shooting 9mm bullets.

Sorry man. I see this frequently in the hospital. Near volleyball size occasionally, grapefruit regularly. Sent you a PM on strategies.

:lol:

I was recently driving in to work in my Miata with the top down, came around a curve to a similar sight only they had altitude and were circling overhead. I had the thought of how bad it...

We do too. I've seen speckled kingsnakes and I even had a black racer. The name fits, fastest snake I've ever seen.

Yep. We just call them black snakes.



When they were after the bird...

Im gonna quote this to reiterate it. My FIL recently was having problems with his 9mm loads. I showed him how his crimp (Lee FCD)was swaging his .357" boolits down to .348". I always seat a bullet...

When I went to grab a stick and came back he was doing exactly that. He had his head down and was doubled climbing back down over himself. I have heard them thumping on to the porch off the chain...

Thanks. I have never felt the need to harm these guys. Here's my biggest one.
He hung around here for years and I carried him away from the house many times. Nearly caused a few heart attacks when...

I live out in the woods on 24 acres. We have snakes around. I have a basket hanging under my porch roof and I've had black snakes try to find a way to get to the birds that nest in it. Right now...

Could be a combo of the powder, more compression with the cereal box wads vs corrugated cardboard and adding cream of wheat with the rice making a heavier load. That vid where the wasp disintegrated...
