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...

A guy on another forum just posted that he's catching fruitflies in his Gloue zappers like I have. He posted this grid pic.

I waited waay too long on the umbilical hernia repair as well. All the years of suffereing that could have been fixed. Get er dun.

Having reloaded for 40 years I am very aware of the increased pressure of small volume cases. The thing that was strange about this was the huge change from a .38spl case to the 9mm case. Even at 5x...

Glad it went well. My lap patients are about in as much or more pain than my incisional ones. My surgeon went right up the middle to fix my umbilical hernia. I asked him about lap and he said "Nah, I...

Awesome short story. I laughed, I cried, now I'm hungry.

Good luck on the surgery. Walk plenty after, drink plenty of water and take stool softeners. It's really easy to get locked up after this surgery. You don't want that. I do PT in a hospital for a...

Have you tried bait surrounded by diatomaceous earth? If they land on the DE they should die like the fly I had buzzing around on its' back the other day here.

That is unfortunate on the fruitflies. I've been luck to never have them in Arkansas. The Gloue zappers have been awesome for my gnats and mosquitos though. I keep one in the kitchen and another near...
