Sorry to hear of the issues. Yea most anti-virus's cause more problems than they solve. I haven't used one in a decade. I do use a VPN when necessary.

IDK why they'd block this site, all its source code gets scanned by the host itself daily to prevent hacks and exploits.

I think they lump firearms related sites into a similar category as pornographic sites…they are considered unpalatable and go against what is considered as “nice” sites according to the WOKE society.

As a follow-up…I rang AVG again yesterday and connected to the most amazing lady. She quickly identified the problem and corrected it for me…I now have full access to the Web. She was streets better, ahead and more knowledgeable and capable than all three of the AVG Senior Techs. So four days of sitting on the phone without getting the problem solved was sorted and fixed in just over an hour by this lady.

Well, it’s getting all quiet in here again, so quiet I just might give consideration to singing again, and that just ain’t pleasant…even I don’t like the sound!

Not sure if we have hunting season happening anywhere, if so that could be the reason. If it’s your hunting season and you’re out and about with tags in your pocket, I hope you get to use all of your tags on the biggest rack and/or the sweetest meat critter.

Go get some…

Now let's not get crazy in here!

Someone asked me if I ever sang to my kids. I told them no, because I hated to make them cry!

Vince, I have been sitting on my dead ass so much that it's getting embarrassing. Playing on the computer and watching TV.

I did pick up a T/C Encore Katahdin barrel, 20", in .360 Buckhammer. I have since discovered that the fore end I have won't fit it (new one has been ordered) and that .360 BH brass is unobtainable. Guess I'll pick up some factory ammo and use it for sighting in and plinking. Then I can make my own loads.

I picked the .360 BH because Arkansas, where my daughter is, has some restrictions requiring straight walled cartridges for some hunting/seasons. Also I already had .358" bullets on hand. And it's new!

Lately I lost my usual hunting places,
the main one, the owner passed away and the children do not want anyone to hunt there anymore,
and the other just had a fire trail set up on the surrounding forest thus no longer allowed to shoot there (NSW law states a minimum of 2 km from public road to shoot).

So now I can only go to state forest where not so many prey available.

You should be able to make cases for the .360 Buckhammer mate. According to Mr Google, it is based on a shortened 30.30 Win case (1.8 inches), and is a straight-wall cartridge optimised for lever-action tubular magazines. Apparently it was designed as a competitor for the 350 Legend and has better ballistics than the 30.30 Win. I wonder how it would perform beside the .357 Herrett which again was based on the 30.30 Win case. Considering all three of these cartridges and including the 30.30 are good for around 200m - 250m you should be onto a winner. Having said that, you could probably load the Buckhammer a bit hotter in the TC Encore offering due to the stronger action than the average lever gun.

In the pic below, the 360 Buckhammer is on the left and the 30.30 Win on the right. As can be seen, there is very little difference between the two cartridges. The 30.30 case would probably only need trimming and fire forming to get the 360 Buckhammer mate.
