So you have used them on multiple occasions to shoot intruders? Did you shoot them in the head or the foot? Have you ever considered moving to a safer neighborhood? Or maybe you enjoy the sport of shooting intruders?

But it's "culture" engrained in the constitution ... So how and why exactly did it get in there? We'll never know what the intent was ... why other countries don't have it ...

I meant the Sheriff approved of shooting intruders. Our Sheriff (or maybe it was the previous one) made videos encouraging residents to shoot anyone caught breaking into their homes.
August 29, 2025Aug 29 Popular Post I once owned an Heckler and Koch HK4. I bought it from a German police officer. It came with four barrels that you could change very easily. The Heckler & Koch HK4 came with four interchangeable barrels: .22 Long Rifle, .25 ACP (6.35mm Browning), .32 ACP (7.65mm Browning), and .380 ACP (9mm Kurz). This design allowed users to easily switch between different calibers. Unfortunately, when I was divorced, my wife hid it from me and that was the last I saw of it. I had to report it to the police as stolen because it was registered to me. Oh well.

Then, you wait a fraction of a second..... c. And, if you listen closely, you can hear the projectile hit the target, a moment later. d. There are MANY Foot-pounds delivered when that projectile meets its target.....if you are shooting a heavy 0.50 caliber muzzle loader. Don't let it fool you.... e. One would hardly take a muzzle loader to hold up a bank, however.

One would hardly take a muzzle loader to hold up a bank, however. I would hate to be shot by one. An extremity hit means amputation. A huge amount of lead. Look what the Brits conquered the world with...big fat lumps of lead. I was always in the heavy bullet/moderate load crowd. I used to pack, for example. a 18 inch barrel .338 Win Mag carbine for bear defense with 270 grainers. I used to hunt with 156 Normas in the 6.5x55, hit a moose with that dead center in the chest and pull the spent bullet from its ass.
August 29, 2025Aug 29 Author Popular Post This was my first real sniper rifle. I even had the same colour case and Swarovski scope. I wonder if it was mine years back, there arent many of them, Total tack driver. FN 30-11, .308.

I used to hunt with 156 Normas in the 6.5x55, hit a moose with that dead center in the chest and pull the spent bullet from its ass. I always loaded my own..... I had quite a setup..... The ROCK CHUCKER SUPREME PRESS was truly amazing, back in the 1970s..... I had all the gear to produce very high quality ammunition for my guns...... .357 magnum .44 revolver and much more...... I was not so much interested in shooting as I was in the physics of it all......and the propellants, etc..... BUT.... The only rifle I really enjoyed was the BLACK POWDER rifle....that was PLENTY OF FUN..... You could even shoot it off in the neighborhood on the 4th of July.... Just by not loading any bullets, but only wads..... And then firing it off with a BIG BANG.... Speaking of the 4th of July.... It suddenly comes to mind.... The film.... Note: My favorite cartridge for the average rifle must be the .308 Winchester MAGNUM......

As soon as I typed the comment, I realized.... I DID mean the .308 Magnum rifle cartridge....for sure. ALSO, if you have not yet guessed.... After all of my Topics on TV..... I always went for the BIG GUNS....simply...in order to compensate for....my.... Tiny weenie.....

FN took the actions, panatagraphed out the adjustable stocks, heavy barrel with a flash hider off a MAG58 machine gun and presto, Great actions when you find them. I think a pre 64 70 action is the ultimate in terms of building a custom rifle.

Very expensive to buy the Weatherby 460 Magnum ammunition. Must have been a reason why I did not re-load.... Who knows.... Too long ago....to recall....

I had a Remington Army Outlaw, 45LC
