    Front sight protector

    Today I was working on a new sheath for a knife I built. I will show what I have done with it. I wetted it down and formed it to the knife. I will finish it tomorrow I hope. After I got that done I started to work on a project that has been on my mind for a while. I wanted something that...

    I tested some bullets Lewis sent me

    Lewis sent me some 416 gr paper patch bullets to try in my New Rifle here is a picture if you don't remember. I had a hardness of .060 on my dial, that is about 9.2 BHN that's kind of a guess. It was between 9 and 9.5 BHN. I filed off the nose to get a wider spot to test the hardness...

    I got to shoot the new rifle

    Today I got a chance to shoot the new rifle and I decided to go straight to 100 yards. I shot my 408 gr RCBS 11mm rifle bullets paper patched. I was using 80 gr of powder measured. With an over sized over powder wad. The wind was off and on but not super hard. Not knowing where to set the...

    My new rifle

    I have had a Stainless Green Mountain 45 cal LRH barrel sitting in my safe for about 10 years waiting for me to do something with it. Well I picked up a donor TC Renegade. I installed a Lee Shavers mid range Sole sight with a Hadley eye cup with a Lee Shavers Ferriss front sight. I think I am...

    What's that in the barrel?

    In this picture I was putting together a new rifle. The barrel is a new never shot Green Mountain Stainless LRH. I saw something that wasn't right. I looked into the clean out hole on the snail. I determined it was a metal sliver from manufacture. So I decided to use a dremel bit powered...

    Lyman Great Plains Hunter

    I've had a lot of down time since catching the Covid 19 virus. I just saw that Davide Pedersoli co is now building the Lyman Great Plains rifles. I also see that Pedersoli has changed the twist from 1-32 to 1-24. This kind of surprises me a little. I can't help but wonder how well these would...

    My 2020 elk hunt

    I drew my first ML bull tag this year. I'm just not the lucky kind I guess it took about 20 years to get it. Well I went on opening day Oct 1st. I fell and I was sure that I was not going to be finishing the season again all the luck of a run over snake. But my son Jacob got me out today. We...

    2019 mule deer

    My son Jacob and I went on our yearly ML hunt. I got into camp a couple days before Jacob did. I saw a lot of deer this year but very few bucks. The night before Jacob got there I saw a real nice 4 point. The next morning we were on a ridge and Jacob hisses at me. I look up to see the 4 point...

    2018 mule deer hunt

    My son Jacob and I draw the same deer tag every year. The Hunt is short and he never can hunt more than just one weekend. What I normally do is hunt for a buck until the day before he gets there. The day before he gets there I just try to fill my tag with what ever I see. That way we can focus...

    My 2017 deer hunt

    I spent 10 days in the mountains on my hunt this year. I did enjoy every minute of it even the rough stuff. The first 5 days I had a friend of mine with me on his first deer hunt. Last winter in Southern Idaho was tough on all of us, but it was especially hard on mule deer. I saw substantially...

    Torture test

    I did a video this weekend, I was shooting the Hot Rod Hawken. The test was how many times could I shoot the Hawken before the accuracy fell off, or it hang fired and I missed. https://youtu.be/su-1Ql-Nhtk

    My friend wanted to shoot my Hot Rod Hawken

    I took my friend Mike out to shoot. Mike is a pistol shooter. He doesn't even own a centerfire rifle. He does own a Muzzleloader rifle of some kind but has never shot it. He shot my rifle 5 times. Then he fell in love with it. Here is the video. https://youtu.be/NInQ--GAimo

    The first deer tag this year is filled

    I spent 10 days up deer hunting I got back last Sunday. My tag was an either sex tag. My son wanted a good buck, I wanted him to get a good buck. He had to work through the week so my plan was to hunt a buck until Wednesday. Then I would take any deer I saw. On opening day we saw a lot of...
