I;m on a fixed income and that ain't much.

[Leo Tanner]

This just goes ta show ya ain't never too old.  I swear it sounds like the original recording.  I have no idea what got me thinkin about the Fleetwoods, but I'm glad I did.

Leo, Everytime I hear that song by Fleetwood Mac, It makes me think of Slick Willie and Hillary. Then I get sick at my stomach.

[Leo Tanner]

Fleetwood Mac and the Fleetwoods er two differnt animals entirely.
     I hated that Don't Stop song way before Bill used it.  It's just lame.

This is a facinating thread.  Never thought I'd really want to shoot long range with my '73 24" 44WCF, but it is grabbing me now.  Also have something to add here.  Should interest those who've been hesitant to hunt with the 44wcf, thinking it is wimpy.
we looked over the ballistic charts in the Speer Manual and guesstimated the BC of the stubby bullet at .12 and the velocity at 1300 and looked at drop stats.  Shot at a 12" steel plate at 50, 100, 150, 200.  Then decided we needed to go every 20 yards because these bullets drop like a shotputt.  Once we had a basic idea of where it was shooting, my son took it out for antelope on our ranch.
He took one at just over 200 yards, don't know who was more shocked, the antelope or him! Kind of a semi-educated Hail Mary shot.
Of interest to hunters or potential hunters - the bullet was 20-1 soft, .430 dia. to fit the rifles .429 bore, lubed with SPG, case filled with as much FFFg Goex (32 year old can of powder that saw Montana cold and heat every year) and compressed at least 1/8", Winchester Mag primer and Winchester brass.  Assuming 1300 fps or slightly less?  The bullet crashed through the center of a rib on one side, ripped up that sides lung, destroyed the top of the heart and aorta, went through the off side lung,went through the center of another rib and kept on going to points unknown.  The animal dropped in its tracks, kicked for a while and expired. 
Two days later,I took a mule deer buck, around 220 pounds body weight.  95 yards distant.  Again, full through and through penetration through the rib cage breaking ribs going in and out.  Bullet kept on going.  It walked off 10 yards and dropped.
Don't hesitate to hunt with your 1873 or 1892.

That there song I don't remember it all.........

[Texas Lawdog]

Me thinks it may be on the wrong thread.

[Arcey]

He saw. It's copied o'er in the den. Was a good huntin' story.

Done it once er twice myownself. Go back later 'n wonder why yer post ain't there.

[Leo Tanner]

I thought I had lost it there fer a moment.

     Glad ta know I'm OK.  Stuff like that happens on a site as big as this one


Leo

[Texas Lawdog]

A Fleetwood Mac song by the Dixe Chimps.


We used to have a Rock and Roll station here called KFMQ, started out doin' album rock in the Good FM days, slipped and slided, back when "Rumors" was on top of the album  chart, the koke was the FM stood for Fleetwood Mac cause every other song was from Rumors.


That station pretty well cured me of FM and Steely Dan, they had other music, but seldom playedit.

[Texas Lawdog]

That Don't Stop Thinking about Tomorrow song makes me think of Hillary and Slick Willie. I get sick!

[Leo Tanner]

I despise Steely Dan

     Can't talk about it here, but groin' up, I knew where their name came from.  I always gave 'em a point fer gettin away with it even though I couldn't stand the music.


Leo

[Texas Lawdog]

Them folks can keep their Fleetwood Mac, I'll take some Southern Rock anytime.

[Leo Tanner]

Just ta make it clear, that link I posted wasn't a Fleetwood Mac song.  It was the Fleetwoods.  Kinda cheesy, but I was amazed how good they sounded all those years later.

     Oh, an if yer inta guitar ya know Lindsey Buckingham of FM is one hell of a Travis picker.  "Never Goin Back Again" is a work out fer the hands.


Leo

[Texas Lawdog]

The guy is the original member, the two ladies are not. They still sound pretty good for old people.

[Leo Tanner]

Yeah I noticed one of the gals seemed ta have gained a foot on the other.

Those Top 40's of 40 to 50 years ago are refered to as OLDIES!  Now.

[Leo Tanner]
