Did you read the instructions? đ Sounds like a great day. What load are you using with the Keith. 429421? I was winging it, Ron. I was shooting a 700X load. I forget how much. I run my velocity around 900 fps. I've got a bunch of Unique that I'll probably use for mine if I ever get going on it. I have a lot of Red Dot for jacketed low power loads and Blue Dot for medium-heavy loads. Going to try to not buy any more powder if I can help it. My snubbie is a magnum so I'll probably load 9.5 grains of Bullseye. That should be snappy, but not close to the mag load. The Blue Dot should make a good hunting load in the Blackhawk. |

I only use 700X because I bought a 5lb can years ago and found it to be pretty good in my 44 Specials. When it is gone, I wonât get more. I tend to prefer spherical. My favorite pistol powders are Unique, Bullseye, W231, AA5, 2400 and Power Pistol. I have tried many others, but these are the best for my purposes. I could probably get by with just three of these though. If I had to choose just one, it would be Power Pistol or 231.

I have enough to load a couple of dozen 38 plinker loads. I bought several cans of Red Dot when I couldn't find anything else. I haven't used it yet but it should substitute for Bullseye, which I also haven't seen in a dogs age. I bought 2 pounds of Blues Dot on clearance!! Least useful powder for my needs. |

I have a lifetime supply of 231. I do see it locally on occasion, but pistol powders are still hit and miss in these parts. |

Over the past few years I have held my nose and bought 8/12# jugs of the powders I use the most of: Varget, Benchmark, IMR4064, 231, Bullseye, Unique, 2400, and a couple more. I figgered it was worth giving up some food and other luxuries for a while. Iâm not sorry I did that.

Why settle for a cruiser? That, bud is a Dreadnought, and the former Flagship of the United States Navy. The Battleship Texas, if you will. The last existing dreadnought and a veteran of 2 world wars. |

I toured that fine lady back in 98. A fine ship. She's in drydock now, being repaired and refitted. Probably going to be put in a dry box after to keep her from rusting. I think this is the 4th bottom. Most likely to end up in Galveston. |

A Herculean task to repair that bottom! battleshiptexas.org/drydock/With the supersonic missiles just to take out ships that the Chinese claim to have, I think naval warfare looks like a one way ticket to a watery grave for sailors in any future warfare. |

They've been saying that for hundreds of years, ever since Greek fire. They keep improving the ships as they improve the weapons. Those battleships were tough. |

I can supply the captainâs hat with scrambled eggs on the brim. This would completely cover the pond and most of the front yard. And probably cause a few accidents on the highway. It would pretty much be take the whole acre. I'm trying to buy the lot next door which would be better. It's more level, with a wet weather creek, quicksand and gullies. Just plop her down in the middle and aim those 14 inch guns at the semis using exhaust brakes and no mufflers. |

âsemis using exhaust brakes and no mufflers.â
Them guys are playing with fire, surprised they make it through a scale house without being deadlines until mufflers are installed.

Most of those are log trucks. I doubt they ever go through a weigh station. Also, I know that a bunch have cutouts that they open as soon as they hit the city limits. |

I had a 1946 Autocar single axle tractor back in 1970. It had been a logging rig. Brownie Spencer 4 & 3 and a Hall Scott OHC, dual ignition, I6. An old fire truck engine. It was loud. It was bad. It was fast. |

We can tell it is the USS Texas from the foc'sle arrangement. Appears to be in WW2 config with all them AA batteries. Long service history of a most distinguished ship. God bless all who sailed in her.
