It sounds like the words to an old Gene Autry song.

Good one Magwa, this is what I call "the ladder test"to verify a rifle scope setup for distance be sure you use the same rounds you intend to use for long range. There are more than one type of Ladder Tests. Another one is used to find the best powder load for long range shooting. It involves loading at least 3 rounds of ammo with the same brass and bullet but varry the powder in .5 grain such as: 3 rounds with 36grain of 4064, 3 rounds with 36.5 grain, 3 rounds of 37 grains, etc.,etc. Using the same aiming point. There are probably several other ladder tests possible, but the commonality is changing the variant in equal steps using the same aiming point to establish a ladder step pattern of data to use.

A very good video, but maybe I missed something, "The Ladder Testing for reloading" Maybe one of you modern long range shooters would explain how to do a proper long range cartridge reloading Ladder Test. I know how, but I am not really into long range shooting (over 500 yds).

They never thought one of their former mechanics would do this, at home!: BTW it is really unsafe doing mechanic work in Flip-Flops !

This borescope works good for me, connected to my Windows 10 laptop. The probe and mirror is only .20" in diameter, the semi rigid cable is 40" long, the LED lights are adjustable and can be turned off, since they do heat up the probe when on high. The 45 degree mirror is attached by threads and can be screwed in or out to adjust the focus to fit the gun bore from.22 to .50 cal rifles. It should work on shotguns too It comes in a black foam padded manila cardboard box that is 8 3/4" X 9" and 1 3/16" thick the 40" rigid cord and the connecting coil coil up nicely in the box. the cord will fit several sizes USB computer and smartphone connectors, The description on Amazon is right on, no surprises here. You can also see these on Teslong's website. I ordered mine from the Teslong store on Amazon. It was direct shipped from Teslong. It worked well to inspect the gas port on my .308 you can really see the condition of the rifling, and chambers. I also used it to check the bore rifling and breech plug condition of my 40 year old CVA 32" .50 muzzleloader. It was well worth the $50 to me since I do have Amazon Prime with the free shipping it came by USPS.

Yesterday I received a new toy in the mail. Every once in a while I have wanted to lok inside a rifle or shotgun bore and see if there is a bad place or something i just am curious about. I looked on several vendors for a camera borescope. I found several for $500, 4400 dollars . Then I went to guess where? ..Amazon, found one for $49.95 shipping included. It is a TESLONG Professional borescope. Got it in on a 2 day shipping. It is a plug and play on Windows 10, which I do have a couple of them. hooked the thing up went to CAMERA her is the info from AMAZON: Sorry I can't copy and paste pics like we could before the site was updated. Teslong Rifle Bore Scope, 0.2inch Gun Barrel Borescope Camera with Side-View Mirror and Semi-Rigid Cable, for Windows, Mac and Android Smartphone

Welcome from a like-minded Texas old codger, kinda from the cross plains, boonies. (Comanche County)

I do prefer Black Jack and branch water over some ice cubes, it really calms me down. Even tho I don't get very adgeatated too often , thank goodness.

Truth is I am not much of a big alcohol consumer. I got enough of it second hand by working for a drunk bastard, and had too many sorry drunkard relatives. One good drunk in college when I lost control and was passed out for a few hours was all it took for me to realize I didn't need to get drunk. Just a couple of cold beers or a couple of fingers of hard stuff usually does it for me.

Okay Wiley, wait till he git's stopped to eat the bird food in the road, before you fire. You think it is about 520 yards ? I see him!

"Hey Dude it was a horrible accident, I was just trying to get me some sunflower seeds, give me a hand here! Okay!"

HA! another new one for me.

?

I am glad someone besides myself found some good vibes and humor from this article!

Back before GPS we used these terminologies to locate possible oil well drilling sites in filing for a drilling permit on the old Rail Road survey maps. It was easy for a gas well drilling site since the state only allowed one gas well per each section.

I had a friend here at the lake that kept saying he had a Poon-Tang boat, actually it was a Tracker Party pontoon boat, with a full sized bed under the canopy. He said it was used for Poon-Tang stuff. He did very little fishing for fishes. KWIM?

I reckon it must be a personal preference thing, didn't like it even when I pulled it with a F250, I have never liked the idea of split level living.
