    I think I have been spoiled with Black Hills Match brass. I load it many times with no problem. Now I have discovered two problems with my Hornady Creedmoor brass. One it's not concentric. Most dies center the exterior of the neck. The only dies I know that center the bore of the brass are...

    Pollinators Wanted

    The honey bee population is crashing in North America and we don't know why yet. As to pollination I had the same problem with squash a few years ago. I got up very early one morning and there was a black bee of some species gathering the pollen. The sucker never went to a female plant. I...

    Range science classes broke it down a little more than that Fritz. When 25% of vegetation is removed by cattle it's beneficial. When you go beyond 50% it begins to be degrading. Take 80% and your damaging the range. In 1977, 78, and 79 I averaged walking 8 miles a day looking at range lands...

    Have you not noticed I am ignoring gst? Trying for that steak dinner someone mentioned.;:;rofl Fritz I didn't pay any attention to where the article came from. There was an an article in the Jamestown Sun last week about ranchers getting $25 per cow in moderate drought and more in severe...

    Pig barns near Devils lake

    I have worked in Iowa a little. It's hard not to smell stink in some areas of the state. There are areas very close to where they propose to build where they could close a few drains and set up more safely in a closed basin. It's as if they know problems will occur and if it does it will flow...

    I wonder if they have closed the public lands to grazing in the drought areas? For the full story: https://www.revealnews.org/article/ranchers-denied-the-drought-while-collecting-drought-subsidies/

    Pig barns near Devils lake

    The one north of Carrington makes you hold your nose. It would be unfair of the highway patrol to run radar there when people are trying to escape. It's kind of suspicious that these operations set up in water run off areas. I hear about all the precautions and would guess they are trying...

    Yesterday we drove the north side of Sakakawea to Indian Hills, then back and cross the dam to the Knife River Indian Village, then to Mandan. I talked with a ranch lady and her husband and sons are haying at Cando. Cows were having it tough in the pastures I looked at. There was a lot of hay...

    Thanks Kurt. I had a backorder at Midway, but they stopped having the .287. I hate to pay 50% more for Reddding. Anyway, I'll need a .287 because to cure my problem I will have to use a Lee Collet die. All other dies make the neck offset if one side of the brass is .015 and the other side...

    I have read and know relatives who's grandparents were on the firsts railroad crew into North Dakota. They said the wetlands were their only source of water and were half buffalo whiz. Recipe for coffee was the same as for cooking kidneys - boil the piss out of it. :)

    I don't know the zoning Northern Pike. You appear to have first hand experience. It would be enjoyable talking with you for an hour. Everything eventually works it's way into the ground water, but at different rates and concentrations. Some have said that pig waste less so than commercial...

    Someone tried to run a Tyvee over the Red River rapids...

    I have hung up a canoe, but that was easily solved by getting out and dragging it 100 yards down river until the water got deep enough again.

    Thanks Kurt. Diameter of loaded 143 ELD-X would be perfect. I have 900 bullets and I am afraid I am going to have to just shoot up 400 more that are already loaded or wear out the bullet puller. I took some empty sized brass that were .008 out of line. I run them through that new RCBS Gold...
