#Bushmaster Rum

[alecsv]

[genericdubstep]

I finished Luke Cage season 2

Some random thoughts (spoilers ahead):

- HOLY SHIT now that is an unexpected way to end a season. I saw article headlines calling it a “bombshell” and they really weren’t kidding. Most unexpected twist in the MCU to date.

- I like how Shades became much more human, but he was still a murderer and an asshole to people. I despise instant redemption arcs that removes all the bad stuff characters did, like feeling bad about your actions somehow redeems everything. So I really like how his character development was handled. He’s still a bad person, just less bad.

- I really wanted Bushmaster to be the one who killed Mariah. After all the horrible stuff she did to him and his family (that the audience had to see) it just felt so unfair that he never got his revenge. He didn’t even get a proper ending to his storyline, such a cool and sympathetic villain deserved better :-/

- Thank god they finally made Danny a fun, lighthearted comic relief dork like he’s supposed to be. Please don’t bring the false angst back in the next season of Iron Fist, he’s far more likeable (and comic accurate) this way.

- Shades and Comanche are the first LGBT+ dudes in the MCU and their relationship feels very genuine. I like how Comanche was gay as shit for his homeboy while Shades was a closeted bisexual. I just wish we got more scenes with them. 

- Considering Luke’s whole character arc is about becoming violent, it’s a bit weird that they never mention how he helped murder like 50 Hand members in The Defenders. That seems like a somewhat important event you might want to bring up.

 - While most of the season is very good, the first 3 - 4 episodes felt too much like filler. The whole Cockroach storyline went absolutely nowhere. It’s obvious that most of these Marvel Netflix shows struggles to hit the 13-hour runtime requirement, I don’t know why they can’t get 8 episodes like The Defenders. 10 episodes would be perfect.

- I liked Bushmaster’s speech in the police van, but that whole scene was a blatant ripoff of the Wilson Fisk “ill intent” scene in Daredevil. It’s the exact same setup. A villain gives a dramatic speech to two cops in the back of a police van before killing them and escaping.

- That Rum-Punch Massacre scene is by far the most gruesome and horrifying scene in the whole MCU. While The Punisher may have been more graphic, that show was too over the top to faze me. This scene was done in such a realistic and drawn out way. Anansi’s distorted screams made me feel physically ill. I almost think they went a bit too far, but I know it was meant to be shocking.

- Speaking of going too far, the Rum-Punch Massacre made it impossible to feel sympathetic for Mariah anymore. I think they wanted you to feel at least a little bad for her in the end when we saw her cry, but no, it’s impossible to feel bad after that scene.

- Black Mariah was still a great villain, though. Even if I can’t feel bad for her, I like how they pointed out that her actions did make Harlem a better place. Even the most terrible, inexcusable actions can have positive outcomes in the end. It’s neat how they brought up that difficult moral grey area.

- I like the references to real life political stuff like ICE deporting immigrants. Comic books has always been an intensely political platform, I mean Black Panther fought the freakin’ KKK in the 70′s. More super hero shows and movies should bring up real life political issues.

- It’s cool that they show people being ableist to Misty after she becomes disabled. Most shows and movies pretends that everyone is nice to disabled people, which isn’t the case... at all. Although I do wish they discussed this issue more, as opposed to just paying lip service to it. If they can discuss racism and homophobia, why not ableism?

- It’s nice that Bushmaster wasn’t overpowered. I don’t like how writers always tries to make the villains overpowered just to add tension when we all know the hero won’t die anyways. Bushmaster was strong, but not stronger than Luke, which is neat. The tension came from Bushmaster being able to kill Mariah instead.

- Bushmaster also has a really cool fighting style and theme music. As usual, the MCU Netflix villains keeps stealing the spotlight.

While Daredevil and Jessica Jones still remain my favorite Marvel shows, I think I liked this season of Luke Cage a bit more than the first one (and I really liked the first season too). My only major complaint are the first 3 - 4 episodes that feels kind of shallow and predictable. Oh, and Bushmaster’s lack of a proper ending. But there is enough good stuff here to make up for it.

Like A Bush Dried Tan Takes To A Spark

Y’all, I’m dying for some fic with John McIver/Bushmaster at its center. So I wrote this little drabble. If you’ve got recs, let me know where they are!! Also, if you’ve got tips on writing Jamaican Patois, please let me know. Here’s the link to this drabble on ao3. Also, I’m only the beginning of ep 8, if this isn’t canon compliant like I think it is, sorry D:

The window is too small for her.

It’s almost too small for him.

But where she is hips and shoulders and taller than him still, he is all limbs long and thin and waiting to gain muscle. Her hands grasp him as the fires licks high up their walls - walls that take to the fire like a bush dried tan takes to a spark. She’s barely pulled them both across the room toward the only window not surrounded by flames before the fire’s digging its fingers into the path they’d just tread.

She slams the laundry door shut, hisses as she spins back to him with her hand curled into a fist. She doesn’t speak to him and John’s scared. He doesn’t know this side of his mother. Their house has never been set on fire. She’s never shown the whites of her eyes. Angry. He’s seen angry on her face. Frustrated. Happy. Sad. Never scared. His stomach threatens to eat itself with all the nerves running through there.

Even as she stalks to the furthest wall and starts pushing at the tiny window - up there where the ceiling meets the wall - his nerves ride his limbs and keep him still. You can't fight a fire with your fists and bony elbows and knuckles.

“John, cum yah.” Her hand's waving him towards her. She's looking in his direction, but not directly at him. The flames are hot on his back. “John!”

His limbs feel too long as he flies to his mother and she grasps him by his armpits. He can barely get a word out before she starts pressing him to the window. It swings open, but he has to twist his head to the side to get it through. Has to wiggle his arms and chest and for a moment - with his mother slapping his feet and pushing at his hips, his back, his legs - he’s afraid he’s stuck in that window. And in that moment he sees himself burn here, stuck between the laundry room and the open air he’s half tumbling out into.

He hits the ground before he realizes. And his mother is shouting, but he can’t hear yet. He scrambles and looks back up where his mother is pushing her arm out and waving it.

“RUN!”

So he does.

And he leaves her.

He runs and runs and runs until he's too tired and even then he runs just a little bit further. He'd seen the Bushmaster Rum come through the window. He'd seen his mother's arm waving as orange light flickered around it. He bits his lips bloody to keep from screaming that night in the dark.

[dubmeister]

They lit the fire with Bushmaster rum! I didn’t even notice that!

Cold. A cold calculating bitch we all love.

[perilinpeace]

"Wow. This Bushmaster rum is really good. I'll pour some out when you two are done with each other."

Remington rifle brass

The 257 Roberts probably will not be produced in 2019. The list of “What will not be produced” has not been released yet which translates into what will be made available is not known and as always vague at best. My rational is that the Roberts case is marked as seasonal and availability in 2018 was good and supplies are now diminished. As of time of this article 30-40 Krag, 300 RUM, 35 Whelen, 222 Remington Magnum and 300 SAUM are now being sold here at duckcreeksportinggoods.com. The supply of the Remington Magnum will be short lived, the other three my guess is at least into the spring. It is only a guess and once supplies are gone one can expect at least a five year drought if Remington follows the production schedules they used in the past

450 Bushmaster, 250 grain bullets

A project I have been working on is developing a load for a 450 Bushmaster. The barrel I used to assemble the upper is a Bear Creek Arsenal 16 inch that has a 1 in 24 inch twist. The brass is Starline and the bullets are the Rainier 250 grain .452 dia Flat Point. Cartridge overall length 2.25 inches.

Original testing was with Hodgdon Lil’Gun. Hodgdon’s Manual list a starting load of 25.2 grains, Lyman #50 lists a starting load of 34.0. Both produced a under gassed round. A powder charge of 36.0 grains demonstrated that the action was cycling but not really effectively ejecting the spent case and had several stove piped unless the rifle was fired with one round in the magazine..

Investigation into the gas system revealed a gas port of .070 inch. Several inquiries with Bear Creek revealed they to experienced a lack of gas issue and later barrels being manufactured wit .076 inch gas port. Later trips to the range with the barrel modifications produced better results with the 36.0 grain charge only.

I finally have success with a functioning rifle. Two changes was made, the gas port was enlarged to .082 inches and H-110 powder was used, still shooting the Rainier bullets. Powder charge of 38.5. This round shot consistent and had zero cycling problems with the 50 founds fired at the range that day Average velocity measured 2068 fps, max spread of 81 fps

Later test will be conducted with lighter loads and revisit the use of Lil’Gun powder.

Scarce Remington brass

Remington and Winchester has discontinued 25-20 W.C.F., 30 Remington, 30-40 Krag, 300 H&H Magnum, 32-40 and 35 Remington. Last spring the 6.5 Remington Magnum was offered on my web site and currently I remain hopeful to see another batch this year. Remington has not produced the remaining calibers on the chart in at least five years, some a little longer; these are the ones that Remington is referring to make an attempt to produce this year.

Duck Creek Sporting Goods has active Remington brass back orders on:

17 Fireball, 204 Ruger, 222 Remington Magnum, 257 Roberts, 6.5 Remington Magnum, 7 mm STW, 7 mm RUM, 300 SA Ultra, 300 RUM, 300 Weatherby Magnum, 8 mm Remington Magnum, 338 RUM, 35 Whelen, 350 Remington Magnumn and 375 RUM.

Calibers are manufactured in batches, some not as frequent as we would like. This is listed as “Seasonal” in Remington’s price list. Seasonal to us is not seasonal to Remington. This could mean once a year to once every five years or longer. Starting in 2018 Remington made a statement that they will try to get caught up on some long over do rifle cartridges. Only time will tell exactly what their statement means. I have created a chart that outlines substitutes that can be purchased from this web site or contact me to discuss special order options and availability. Any Special Order brass can be delivered to you on average of ten working days, Duck Creek only will collect funds if the item desired can be delivered.

Normally we receive our brass as soon as available, this means I will have listed here for sale (and on GunBroker) before you will find on the shelves at stores and most on line sellers.  New items are added monthly, the best way to see what is available is to check back often and have your name placed on a waiting list. Again, Duck Creek does not collect payments for items not  readily available.  Some items can be found on the shop pages and back orders are allowed, the brass cartridges that can be placed on back order are generally available and can be delivered to you in a timely manner.

EVERY BIG BUCK IS SOME WHERE 24 HOURS A DAY – PART 3

Hunting is a sport of physical ability and knowledge, but successful hunting is obtained when you obtain a consistent display of those two items and your ability to provide those and similar detail in other attributes. The more astute you are at executing those attributes t the more often you will get your buck and the larger they will be test.

Knowledge can be your ability’s during the ground work, weeks before you ever put your boots on. It includes the boots you wear being waterproof and warm, yet not clumsy. The rifle you shoot and its accuracy and accessories down to the bullet type and weight you select. Your ability to shoot fast and accurately without even a moment’s notice, and the range time you took to get that way.  Big bucks got big by outsmarting every hunter before you; this is no more than a game of chess with uncharted   moves that change every time for both players.

Physical ability isn’t always your ability to leap tall mountains in a single ability but can even be you ability to quickly get your rifle off your shoulder, on target and taking a successful shot.

My whitetail hunt in Kansas a few years back is a good example, a big buck in my area that I had been watching before the snow and cold snap had disappeared from the face of the earth. After a morning in a cold tree stand. With very little movement I was certain that the 4” of snow, with scattered flurries and the temperature down in the single digits had put the big bucks down into an energy conservation mode where they only eat once per day, in the evening about 3PM the warmest part of the day. All morning I had seen does and fawn with an occasional small buck in an area with a high deer concentration but not my buck which had been a regular prior to the December opening morning.

I had hunted this situation before and had changed my tactics and done well with a heavy 14 point that watches over my desk in the office, and greets me every morning when I come in to work.

Big bucks have a lot of bulk and insulation. In addition it consumes a lot of energy just getting the mass from bed to food and back to the bedding area. During January and December hunts the bucks are worn down from the rut cycle and are in a rebuild to survive and energy conservation mode. Their stomach can hold enough food contents that they can eat enough in a 45 minute feeding in an agricultural field plus sticks and required digestive fiber to only trek out of their warm safe bed once every 24 hours.

The rest of the time they are in their warm beds chewing their cud and making heat by moving there meal from one stomach to the next. Minimum energy expelled, maximum energy received. This and nocturnal activity is the major reason you seldom see the biggest bucks in the area.

The does could do it but because of the fact that the fawns don’t have the mass to do so they are out morning and evening with the fawns and a few young bucks that haven’t learned the trait or don’t have the bulk either, plus they weren’t as affected by the rut as the more mature bucks. I was heading into heavy cover  to play a game of cat and mouse but not without some experience in doing this successfully in the past.

327 Federal Magnum brass (Starline, QTY 100)

Bags of 100 factory new Starline unprimed 327 Federal Magnum brass revolver cartridge cases.   The 327 Federal brass is a beefed up lengthened verison of the 32 H&R Mag. It was designed as a personal defense cartridge. It has light recoil making it easy to handle due to firing light weight bullets at high velocities. The 327 also has potential as a small game cartridge.  Uses small pistol primers.

357 Maximum brass (Remington, QTY 50)

Bag of 50 factory new REMINGTON unprimed 357 REMINGTON MAXIMUM (357 REM MAX, 357 SUPERMAG)brass handgun cases.

UNIT COST .315 CENTS EACH

HISTORY: The .357 Maximum was developed in the early 80’s by Ruger and Remington as a silhouette cartridge for the RUGER BLACKHAWK revolver. This beefed up, elongated .357 Magnum has also been chambered in Dan Wesson revolvers as well as several single shot rifles and pistols including the T/C Contender. Game laws in several states have changed, and are now allowing pistol caliber rifles for deer hunting, giving new life to this once obsolete cartridge.

38 Long Colt brass (Starline, QTY 100)

100 factory new STARLINE unprimed 38 Long Colt brass, uses small pistol primers

UNIT PRICE .225 CENTS EACH

HISTORY:  The 38 Long Colt can be considered a short 38 Special and can be fired in most firearms chambered for 38 Special/357 Magnum.  Introduced by Colt in 1875 as a black powder cartridge as a slightly more powerful version of the 38 Short Colt.  Adopted by the Army in the M1892 Colt New Army Revolver and was used during the Philippine Insurrection and then discontinued shortly afterwards.

454 Casull brass (Starline, QTY 50)

Bags of 50 piece new Starline unprimed  454 Casull  brass revolver cartridge cases.

UNIT PRICE .42 CENTS.

HISTORY:  Originating in 1957, the .454 Casull is one of the most powerful revolver cartridges available today. This is basically a magnum version of the .45 Colt. It has been lengthened by .100″ so it can’t be fired in a .45 Colt firearm, though .45 Colt can be fired safely in a .454 Casull.

50 AE brass (IMI, QTY 50)

50 factory new IMI head stamp unprimed 50  Action Express (50 AE)

HISTORY:  This powerful pistol cartridge appeared in 1988 in the Desert Eagle.  The 5o AE utilizes a rebated rim that is the same diameter as the 44 Mag so it can adaptable to the handgun that when first introduced in the 44 Magnum

500 S&W Magnum brass (Starline, QTY 50)

50 factory new unprimed STARLINE  500 S&W Magnumbrass cartridge cases.  Large rifle primer pocket.

On July 28, 2003, Smith & Wesson and Cor-bon changed specification of primer pocket from large pistol to large rifle. Rifle primers are same diameter as pistol except they are approximately .006″ taller. This was done to prevent primer from being pierced by firing pin when loaded with max loads and heavy bullets (bullets over 400 grains). It was determined that hole in primer allowed pressure to damage firing pin and bushing, kind of like a cutting torch and the harder cup of a rifle primer will prevent occurrence. All cases sold by Starline, Inc. after July 28, 2003, will contain a large rifle primer pocket to accept a large rifle primer. Hodgdon Powder has generated load data which recommends using Win. Large Rifle Primers.

Scarce Remington brass Part - 2

Duck Creek Sporting Goods (DCSG) was founded in 1991 by Denny and Jennifer McDaniels.  The business specializes in fly fishing, hunting and cowboy action shooting.

Denny McDaniels developed a innovated scope cover that is called Shoot-Thru. The item is available on this site, however, Duck Creek is no longer the manufacturer.

Our new focus is now powder, reloading supplies and accessories.

Calibers are manufactured in batches, some not as frequent as we would like. This is listed as “Seasonal” in Remington’s price list. Seasonal to us is not seasonal to Remington. This could mean once a year to once every five years or longer. Starting in 2018 Remington made a statement that they will try to get caught up on some long over do rifle cartridges. Only time will tell exactly what their statement means. I have created a chart that outlines substitutes that can be purchased from this web site or contact me to discuss special order options and availability. Any Special Order brass can be delivered to you on average of ten working days, Duck Creek only will collect funds if the item desired can be delivered.

Remington and Winchester has discontinued 25-20 W.C.F., 30 Remington, 30-40 Krag, 300 H&H Magnum, 32-40 and 35 Remington. Last spring the 6.5 Remington Magnum was offered on my web site and currently I remain hopeful to see another batch this year. Remington has not produced the remaining calibers on the chart in at least five years, some a little longer; these are the ones that Remington is referring to make an attempt to produce this year.

Duck Creek Sporting Goods has active Remington brass back orders on:

17 Fireball, 204 Ruger, 222 Remington Magnum, 257 Roberts, 6.5 Remington Magnum, 7 mm STW, 7 mm RUM, 300 SA Ultra, 300 RUM, 300 Weatherby Magnum, 8 mm Remington Magnum, 338 RUM, 35 Whelen, 350 Remington Magnumn and 375 RUM.

Normally we receive our brass as soon as available, this means I will have listed here for sale (and on GunBroker) before you will find on the shelves at stores and most on line sellers.  New items are added monthly, the best way to see what is available is to check back often and have your name placed on a waiting list. Again, Duck Creek does not collect payments for items not  readily available.  Some items can be found on the shop pages and back orders are allowed, the brass cartridges that can be placed on back order are generally available and can be delivered to you in a timely manner.

Duck Creek Sporting Goods (DCSG) was founded in 1991 by Denny and Jennifer McDaniels.  The business specializes in fly fishing, hunting and cowboy action shooting.

Denny McDaniels developed a innovated scope cover that is called Shoot-Thru. The item is available on this site, however, Duck Creek is no longer the manufacturer.

Our new focus is now powder, reloading supplies and accessories.

222 Remington Competition Die set (Redding,used)

This set contains Redding #55109 Competition Bullet Seating Die and RCBS #10930 Neck Sizer Die

The Redding Competition Seating Die has quickly established itself as the “state of the art” in straight line bullet seaters. This design has solved the concentricity problems inherent in all other seating dies of this type. The bullet guide to seating stem fit is so precise that the seating stem can actually be demonstrated to “float” on a column of air. The seating stem is precision ground to exactly match bullet diameter. Alignment and accuracy are enhanced by the cartridge case and bullet being completely supported and aligned in a close fitting, precision ground sleeve before the bullet seating begins. The micrometer is calibrated in .001″ increments for precise seating depth and is infinitely adjustable (without clicks). The micrometer also has a setting feature that allows you to set the micrometer to your rifle or favorite seating depth.

HISTORY:  Ned Roberts experimented with necking down 7 mm Mauser in the 1920’s, Remington standardized the 257 Roberts cartridge in 1934 and the deer hunters of the time had easy access to one of the great deer cartridges of that era.  Key advantages are lightweight rifles with minimal recoil. Medium to slow burning powders provide the best accuracy.
