    she already wants a Jeep Wrangler... we've had 2 over the years so i guess it's rubbed off on her.
    I've done a few driving lessons with her in the neighborhood. She does o.k. but we still need to practice some more.

    Taught my youngest daughter in a Jeep Cherokee.
    Put her on our 1/2 mile training track on the horse farm, and told her to stay out of the lake ...

    That gal would go round and round for hours, made Kyle Busch look like rookie.

    I survived 7. It can be done. Best advice that was given to me:

    Don't take it personally what is about to happen. They will like you again in a few years.

    Wasn't true for all of them though. A couple were sweet and I remained the hero to them.

    Less talking. More shooting!

    Today was new .327 fun. Ruger Single-Seven.

    Trying some different rounds.

    All shot very well.
    The .32 longs are very pleasant to fire.

    The full power .327mags are down right brutal. Right up there with full power .357’s flash, report, and recoil.

    Nice. How's the ammo selection for .327 Federal? I don't recall seeing any on the shelf at Academy. Seems like plenty of American Eagle in 85 and 100 gr varieties can be had online.

    The Single Seven is on my ever expanding list of wheel guns.

    Gunz are icky.
    There aren’t many options with .327 Mag.
    Federal makes a few loadings.
    I was quite surprised with how powerful they were to fire.
    The are a number of loadings available in .32 H&R Magnum as well. I tried some Federal and Buffalo Bore.
    The BB’s really hot. Had issues with case extraction.
    There are many makers of .32 S&W Long. So far I have tried Fiocchi, Winchester, Aquila, PPU, Remington.
    All shot very accurately but quite sooty. The Fiocchi is my fave so far because it uses a FMJ so its shoots the cleanest.
    The Aquila is nasty. Gun looks like its been in a smokestack after firing.
    Also have tried some 32S&W. It shot very nicely as well with practically zero recoil. The Remington was good but the MagTech ammo was as filthy as the Aquila.

    Anybody have any experience with rechambering old .32 revolvers for the longer cartridges? I know it's been done quite a bit. I just haven't heard much about how well it worked out.

    You see, I have this old .32 revolver, a Colt, mid-1950s vintage, that's collecting dust...

    Depends on if your revolver is chambered in .32 New Police or .32 Colt.
    If its .32 New Police you can fire 32 S&W Long wadcutters in it.
    If its a .32 Colt you'll have hand make cartridges.
    The chamber and bore diameters are not the same.

    I REALLY dislike people who speed through school zones, just as much as I dislike people who pass in the middle turning lane. So I even more dislike it when people speed through school zones while passing you in the middle turn lane. You know what I like though?? My dash camera. :D Also, my video editing software :D I have a real nice presentation to drop off with my local PD in the morning.
