Didn't watch any of it, won't watch any of it next year either don't care if they are waving flags and NFL is once again an American loving institution. Hate our country and those who died and bled for it you can count me out, i won't ever support your communist crap again. I know NFL has enough low IQ yankee's to keep them going, they don't need me.

Well that’s sucks I was waiting for an argument!

Looks like a good time!

Can't tell you the last time I watched professional sports

man that would be some good eating and some pickled pike,

man you guys ate good,

Try Tom Stalker. He made me one for Bridger #3 dogless years ago.. Caught myself in a 4-coiled No BS Extreme once. Was staked down and I left the setters in the buggy along with my phone. Thought I might have to spend the night there. I eventually got out. lost most of the skin on both sides of my thumb, plus the thumb nail. Needless to say, I made one for the extremes. I like to pack waxed sand inside the jaws.

Since I have been on the ice for the majority of my trapping endeavors, I have avoided dragging around cargo sleds as much as possible, which I know would have made many of my "bad ice" issues much worse. But, then not having one makes trying to carry everything I might need an issue. And worse, is trying to haul everything home if you've had a good day on the line. But, with careful measurments when making a cargo box on the back, it's surprising how much a person can haul with no cargo sled, if you have to,...




But no matter what, watch what you're doing so you don't run over things like this and get them jammed up in your track,.. like I kinda did here, since it was 99% buried in the trail.

Please tell me this is unusual.

I have done harbor freight red but it has been several years since I bought powder so it may have changed.

my process is as cast , I put a handful or two of bullets in a Rubbermaid 4 quart food container with about a 1/2 inch of the black air soft BBs and a tablespoon of HF red vigorously shake up and down with lid on and sealed

then with a nitrile glove on one hand I dip the thumb , index and middle finger in the powder to coat the glove then pick up the bullets and set them on the base on my parchment paper lined tray

bake in a preheated convection oven I have a little counter top type 10 minutes at 400 that seems to get me decent adhesion

to test you take a coated bullet place it on the anvil of you vice and smack it with about a 2 pound hammer , it flattens and if the coating stays on you are good

my biggest expense is that the food containers seem to crack after a few months , I place tape over the crack to make a few more then I have to retire the container

the reason this works is that 2 dis similar plastics create a static charge and that causes the powder to cling to the bullets

I didn't invent this I got it from cast boolits gunloads

I do recall them being specific that they tried different HF powders and red was one of the only ones that got good coverage

they found other better powders

also that some guys had good success with placing bullets on their nose and using the ion powder coat guns they "sprayed" them on a foil lined baking sheet then baked them it may have been non stick foil I don't recall if they had to transfer them or not.

Thank you wissmiss. I was wondering the same thing with the event I posted.
