I'm in witness protection, that's why there's never any pics or footage of me.
I think that's you over the one guys right shoulder at this DEAD concert.
Yep, the 303 Savage is of that generation, but the 300 Savage can be had in pointy bullets. I guess None of the tube magazine guns were ever chambered in the 300 S. It’s the basis of the 308. When the military wanted a shorter, lighter, carry more rounds at the same weight, cartridge that would match the old 06, the 300 S was already there. When it came out in 1920 or so, it’s advertising sell, was it exceeded the military 06 in velocity. When the 308 came out in 53 or 54, it was the end of the 300S hay day. My cousin has his dad’s 1959 Model 99 Feather weight in 308, it’s a nice one.
Think I have a few boxes of 300 savage at home. I'll have to check.
Damn bed liners. In high school I had a pair of small block Chevy heads in my truck. Forgot about them and hit the brakes pretty hard so they slid to near the front. Gassed the throttle and WHAM they both slid the 6.5 feet to the back. Bent the inside of the gate, luckily didn’t bend the whole thing!!!
Hey! Page 30-40. The Krag was a great cartridge. Shot a deer a long ways away with a 30-40 in a Ruger #3. Probably my longest shot on big game.
I'm going to add these over time as the stickers need replacement Just PVC pipe cut in half
Edit I should have also said its schedule 80

I have seen those suggested to be used before. I'm leery of them. First you've got a lot of weight on them and if one spreads open just an eight of an inch, you'll have a bowed board. Also, in the Summer, plastic (PVC) will flow, causing the pieces to spread apart even more. If the weight isn't distributed evenly, then you'll have a messed up board. If you're lumber was sawn extra thick, then you may have enough wiggle room to flatten out the bad spots.
My Uncle always hunted with his Model 95 in 30-40 Krag. Those guns came with a 28" barrel, and since the 95 action is stronger than a Krag action, his friend loaded them a little hot.
That gun had quite a report!

The PVC I posted is schedule 80 PVC conduit . Much thicker than 40

Went below 0 here this morning for the 1st time this year. Currently up to 10 with light snow falling (not predicted).
Seems like we may remain white for a while.

Cold here too with some nasty wind gusts. You can actually hear the winds coming
We've had lows in the teens this week, coldest week so far too.
That being said I haven't dumped any coals out yet and the house has been kept toasty all season. My wife has been doing a lot of cooking/baking this yr though, which helps a good bit. I've been burning nearly 100% black locust so I would think that's helping too

Have black locust in reserve . Use it when it’s below 10 been burning mostly hickory this winter
Hickory is no slouch! In fact, I think most charts have it slightly above black locust. But the bugs like it and it does rot a lot faster, so I do like you and save the black locust for Armageddon.
Not sure this is technically Scrounging, this nice Oak fell in the woods behind my house during a wind storm a couple months ago. Only fitting that on a windy morning, I've run out of stuff to split, so I'm sawing. 16°F and 16mph wind out of the north - Scout and I don't need the Weather Channel to explain "Real Feel". I don't envy you folks working in single digits or worse. Anyway, went with the Bellingham gloves and the Dolmar 6100 this morning:
And after the tank, Scout requested we visit the warming shed. I am nothing if not well trained.
Probably going to have to switch out to a longer bar as I work my way down this log.

That's a neat looking tree. Looks heavy!
Ha! Smart dog.
Your own trail, or public?
The land's owned by a local lumber company. They let folks ride their old network of logging trails/roads.
