Island Of Misfits

[Unca Walt]

Morning Misfits. Hot day before monsoon weather moves in. Veggie garden is loving the heat though.

Damn Walt....63 years! Give that man a cigar....I thought I had been at it a long time ....48 but you are the champ.

The seeds I planted the other day are starting to pop. Thanks again Boo. Will plant today.

No walk...taking a day off. I need it. Now I gotta figure out what to do with myself...

I had an advantage: She is a Scottish witch of the red-haired variety.

We've had a deal we've kept with each other without ever breaking it:

We have never let an argument go overnight.

Means we got to sleep mighty late some nights, but often as not on those nights it ended up with nonnie-nonnie.

Sometimes we've found it better to not talk until emotions cool down. It is important to not so anything unkind during that period.

GW you or someone here may know answer
On belted 30-06 mG ammo US issued , can it be unbelted and fired from a regular rifle or is the pressure powder/load to great for rifle barrel opposed to the heavy MG's

No difference. One size fits all, but some linked MG rounds may contain tracers or WP rounds. That is easy to spot from their markings, and will also work.

Blk tipped

Blk tipped is an AP round. It will work fine in a rifle.

Don't ever try and settle an argument after drinking..... wait until tomorrow.

I agree. We get carried away sometimes and elevating it further is no help. Sometimes a bit of quiet time helps us too

At what velocity

Same with my 44 Mag in SW 4" M-29. Besides being blasty, a 4" barrel is a serious waste of powder, unless you are trying to illuminate a large area.

My .44 Mag has the long, long barrel. I do not target practice with it. The bullets cost a coupla bucks each. Besides familiarization firing of one box of Hydra-Shok cartridges, I have also fired it once at night to observe the result. The flame was no shorter than six feet.

Its purpose is serious use only. Close quarters a specialty.

At what velocity

That varies by caliber, powder, load, et al. Chamber pressure is the maximum pressure it reaches in reaching terminal velocity.

A nice piece. Besides a 44M barrel for the TC, I had a Desert Eagle, but it was still two hands full. I tried shooting it off hand once and it was uncontrollable after the first round.
