Birman,

Since you avow to love cats then perhaps you should go to the CAT forum where the alleged cat lovers hang out. You may not find much company there since I have gotten most of the cat lovers to question their interest in butt-lickers. I am afraid that there are few cat lovers left around here. I do have some Asian friends who really love cats. They take cats to barbeques and some restaurants. Fine fare.

I like cats too. Cheap targets.

Oh he loves crat to OEH, it's an alternative lifestyle thing. Like down in Key West. I think DL accused him of an Oedipus complex too, an accusation he never refuted. God alone knows what kind of worms are crawling around in his cranial cavity. Speaking of worms, it being summer and all, I'll bet you he has a belly full of tapeworms and roundworms.

Some of the finest eating cats I have ever seen have been in oriental restaurants on pu-pu platters. I wish there was a N.C. tradition of fine eating, finger-licking good barbecue cats, but that distinction mostly belongs to Ky. The tradition here is mostly one of fine shooting cats. I myself prefer the .25-20 flavor cat over the .22 short cat by a long shot. Floridians, I heard, like their cats afflicted with Rigby mortis, and some western canuckians like the round ball flavor of cat. There are a rare few though, not from around here, that don't like pusses at all.

Myes, round ball crat is dilectable but the anti-noise bylaws and the cops force me to go with crat on a stick<-----<<< around the home front! derf

Plus think of all the Buzzard bait cats we leave at the dump or the ones in the cat graveyard(landfill).

I once got a cat that was running away with the tine of a pitchfork. Roasted him over a trash burning barrel and fed him to the local dogs. That cat was definitely forked up.

Very considerate of you, Sir.

Digital Dan, NS Sherlock,Old Elk Hunter, and Snap..........I have a suggestion, and a question about proper cat etiquette. The suggestion borders upon blasphemy on this forum, but for folks that live in the big city, with the cat loving possum sheriffs, try a Ram Power Snare, they work really good!

Now, here is the question: I've read in the book Powder Profiles, about using small charges of Bullseye (2 to 3 grains) with cast lead bullets. This is supposed to make an almost noiseless load at abot 700-1200 FPS in rifles. Have any of you tried this, or know anybody that has? Sounds like a cat load for city guys to me.

A tip of the hat,.......Jim

Hello RR. While such a load is possible there is the possibility of pass through because of slug weight. Hell, I shoot deer with loads like that. My own objection would be that using such loads are greatly lacking in finesse and basic understanding of the CAT. Now you take a nice hand axe, or a blunt arrow, throwing knife, maimed quair nymph, that is excellence!

River Rat,

Used a similiar load, 74 grains of Bullseye behind a wadcutter in my 358 Norma Magnum. The poor bullet vaporized near the muzzle. About deafened me especially when the barrel split and the stock crumpled. Hell, I'll stick an Adams and Bennet barrel on it and try it again just to see if my load was off a bit. I've got to stick the action in a vise to see if I can beat the bolt open again. Damn wimpy Mauser 98.

OEH, I think you misread that load level, shouldn't have read 7.4 grains? If you try that again, try to get Birman'sX to hold it. derf

OEH, I'll bet you didn't seat the bullet deep enough to give it enough jump.

Snap,

I used to raise GSP's - great creatures. I had one female in 1959 that set a world's record for
healthy live births with 15 perfect puppies. I am not sure if it is still a record. Feeding those pups was a challenge!

The story made both AP and UPI wire services and about twenty newspapers.
