      Rats

      Generally rat snakes are rather laid back. I’ve been coming across them since I moved here in 2008. In all those years I’ve only come across two that were pissed off. One, a young one, bit me right in front of grandkids as I held it. Well, that went over well as I was teaching. The other was an...

      Used metal table with electrical outlets

      What are the width and depth measurements of the table top? Can it hold ~210 pounds? Thank you.

      Rats

      I may have missed an opportunity. I was bullet casting when a rather large rat snake showed up. I gently shooed it away from entering my garage. It wasn’t pissed off, so I could have picked it up. What I should have done is pick it up, put it in a bucket, and ask my neighbor if I could let it...

      Rats

      Went out last night. Six times I saw a rat + two heat signatures showing through the roof (possibly two nests as the heat signature would only move an inch or two). Probably not six separate rats, as after I killed two I waited another hour and no more sightings inside the coop. Two killed...

      What gun stuff did you do today?

      IIRC .310-.311”, mostly around .3105”. Magnet does not stick. Unknown origin. Hi Tech would not tell me the source. 123-124 grain.

      What gun stuff did you do today?

      Quick testing at the neighbor’s before the storm came. Tested 44 cast bullets with aluminum gas checks vs copper gas checks. Same accuracy and point of impact…success! I have zillions of the aluminum ones. Next was my BRN180 pistol in 300 Blackout. I had tested and sighted it in with CCI 400...

      What gun stuff did you do today?

      Lubed and sized some of the 44cal bullets so I could test the aluminum gas checks. Loaded up 50 44special test loads. In between sizing and loading, I made up 50 more pounds of 20/1 lead/tin alloy I use for the 44 and 45/70 bullets.

      Rats

      Neighbor put out his camera in the coop last night. 3 rats on camera, so more to be done. At least it wasn’t a myriad of rats like when I began. Once the coop is cleaned out, it’s on to the barn. I know of at least three living in the barn. I’ve got permission to bring another neighbor with his...

      What gun stuff did you do today?

      Finished casting a 30 cal ammo can of 44 cal bullets. Started a couple of days ago. Then started on 45/70 type hollow base bullets today. I use them in a M1888 Trapdoor and a Danish M1867 rolling block. The hollow base mold being a single cavity is slow and picky, but once it and the lead are...

      Rats

      Due to the family owning dogs, poisoning was not desired. Every type of trap tried failed to catch any.

      Rats

      Much better night. Killed one in the chicken yard. Put a bullet in one in the coop. Could hear it flopping and then silence…couldn’t find it. Saw one coming out from under a coop corner and killed it. Later another came out from same place and smelled the dead one…killed it. Repeat. Repeat...

      Rats

      Well, the other night I missed 7, should have been easy, shots, so I stopped and left. Rats would jump up and run off. One did leave a trail of poop dropping's about 2’ long (through thermal I thought it was blood, but flashlight showed otherwise). The next day I found the sights were to the...

      Rats

      There was an optional cord to rca jack video output connector that could be purchased. It was never bought. No built in recorder on this older model. ATN thermal mounted and sighted on at 30’. At 20’ it hits 1” low. At 40’ it hits 1” high.

      Rats

      Looking at what I have, I noticed my Ruger Precision Rimfire. It has a pic rail. Will remove its scope and mount thermal and see if it will allow a 30’ zero. I have Sawman’s ATN thermal. It will focus down to about 6‘, so the focusing aspect is taken care of.
