Is the 7x57mm Mauser M1893/95 rifle obsolete?  The original 7mm Mauser cartridge is in no way an obsolete cartridge, yet it can be improved when modern powders are used.  As of this date, few handloaders are exploring what can be done with the old warhorse when modern propellants are used to make it competitive with modern cartridges such as 7mm-08, 7.62 NATO, and even .308 Winchester.  There is no discussion on this topic that I’ve yet found on the Internet.  Perhaps we are breaking new ground, as we speak.

The Alabama Soil and Water Conservation Committee (ALSWCC) has received a $17.5 million grant through the USDA’s Regional Conservation Partnership Program to support a new five-year restoration effort focused on Alabama’s Black Belt Prairie ecosystem. Although the funding was approved in 2025, the initiative is now beginning to move into on-the-ground habitat work across the region. As habitat loss, changing land use, and declining grassland ecosystems continue to affect wildlife across the region, programs like this one come as welcomed news.So what is the Black Belt Prairie? Stretching across 19 counties of central Alabama and neighboring states, the Black Belt…

Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be…

The farm had been established in the 1700s. In the end,  I was so immersed in the culture and language that locals did not believe I was an American.  More often than not, given my accent, they thought I…
