My experience is just the opposite. Verizon would drop calls constantly, I would get voicemails and texts days after they were sent to me, and lots and lots of dead zones. I switched to AT&T, the customer support is leaps and bounds better than Verizon, and about the only dead zones so far have been in the desert southwest. I might not get 4g service everywhere, but I can almost always make a call that is not dropped. YMMV. To the OP, I don't know anyone with TMobile, sorry can't help.

"Get off my phone..." RIP Bob, enjoyed listening to him, but it was a while since I heard his show.

I was at Alpine the other day. Yum.

Never been to Fernwood, thought I'd check it out this weekend. Figured I'd at least get some jerky.

Matamoras show advertises 150 tables Fernwood claims 300 tables

Almost $30.00 to ship though.

I thought I read that Best Western Matamoras show is the 18th and 19th. Fernwood show should be this weekend. I'll most likely be going to both.

Thanks for the heads up, just ordered some more .45's.

I did not know that. The .50 caliber, on the other hand, automatically makes one a terrorist I believe.

Definitely want one of those, but I think I'd like one in .303. Was looking at one a while ago in .416 Rigby, IIRC. It resembled a cannon.

Reloading is going to be a must. I've read that commercial ammo can be ~$3.00/round.

Works for me... I've seen videos of them being shot at dusk/dark. Resembles a flame thrower.

I just saw that Thompson Center makes a single shot, but about $850.00.

Yeah, other than making a really big boom and poking holes in targets, I can't think of a reason to justify one. But I still want one.

While sorting brass that I picked up at the range, I discovered a single piece of .500 S&W magnum brass. I am intrigued to say the least after reading up about it. I think I want a rifle chambered for it now. There seems to be a few high end lever guns chambered for it with rather large price tags. H&R also makes a single shot for around $300. If I decide to purchase one, it will be the H&R. Anyone ever shoot one, or have one for sale? Let me know what you think please.

Old cars with generators would remain running once started without a battery. An alternator requires 12v+ from the battery to energize the field to create and maintain a charge rate of ~14vdc. If the alternator fails, once the battery voltage drops below about 9vdc, there is insufficient voltage for the coil(s) to fire the spark plugs. Your cars engine will sputter and stall and will not re-fire.

до свидания, пухом.

I like the look, but I could get a much better Savage for a couple hundred less.

A lot of people use Unique in .45-70, but I read enough people who were cautioning that the max powder charge took up very little space in the cartridge. It's very easy to get a double charge of powder. The Bullseye is a very large donut shaped powder that would be very obvious if it was over charged. Recoil was mild, could have shot them all day long.

I was shooting some plinking loads in my 1895 Marlin yesterday. 300 grain lead bullet on top of 15 or 16 grains (I'll have to check my notes for exact figure) of Trailboss powder. Shows the versatility of the cartridge; Mild plinker up to full bore, dislocate your shoulder big game round. Good luck on your hunt. Edit to add: If you reload, the Leverevolution brass is shorter than any other brass. It can still be used, just make sure overall length is good. You probably won't be able to crimp the shorter brass, so you might have to shoot one round at a time.

Shoot them both before you decide what to buy. The recoil of the .308 is noticeable, but I enjoy shooting it. The .30-06 in a bolt gun just plain kicks my ass. And I'm not a small person.

Gonna try to be there.

Accustrut will help barrel harmonics Bedding the action will help any rifle Trigger job will help any rifle Cryo treating will reduce hot barrel stringing.

I'm not planning on spending too much money, in fact I should have mentioned that I'm looking to do this cheap. The biggest expense will be the gas block and strut. I'm just looking to see if I can make this fun reliable gun into a (slightly) more accurate shooter, while maintaining reliability. It's been a while since I've shot it, but I seem to recall groups in excess of 6 inches. I've already got an AR with respectable accuracy and just bought an XBolt in .223. If I can get this rifle down to two to three inches I'll be happy.

The muzzle brake is just one many things I plan on doing to this rifle. I plan on doing a barrel strut made by Accuracy Systems that incorporates an adjustable gas block. Adjusting the gas pressure slows down the operating rod and beats up the receiver less when the rod slams home. It also drops the brass at your feet instead launching it half way down the firing line. I also plan on having the barrel and receiver cryo-treated, as well as having the action bedded in the stock. I have already done a trigger job. I know that it's by no means a bench rest rifle. I'd like to make it better without losing the reliability it's known for, without spending a fortune.
