Nathan foster’s website? Any opinions?
I have tried the all copper bullets and my issue with them was copper fouling in my barrel that degraded accuracy after only 20-30 rounds. I have seen a TSX dug out of a wild boar that had a petal bent into the hollow point that failed to open, even so the boar was dead. My preference is more to...- MS 9x56

Steel shot vs. lead and others- Lethality
They can spout all the drivel they want about steel being just as good as lead (physics say it isn’t) but you can’t argue with Sir Isaac Newton. Steel shot is why I gave up waterfowl hunting. I just couldn’t stand seeing all those injured birds get away to die a slow lingering death. I enjoy...- MS 9x56

Anybody Else Hunt with the Same Rifle for Half a Century ?
In my area of NY we were limited to shotgun only for big game. My gun of choice was an Ithica Deerslayer in 20 gauge. My small game go to was a Franchise Falconet also in 20 gauge. Both put a lot of meat in the freezer. -
Pawn shop guns
I found a Marlin 336 in 35 rem wearing a 1.5x5 Leopold scope in see through mounts for $500. The scope is worth almost as much as the gun. All I had to do to it was change out those see through mounts. -
Poll: What do you think about the Space Force?
Should have signed up with MP’s we got to carry ammo in all our weapons. Not chambered of course. My favorite battle rifle was the German G3 in a real 308 caliber not a damn varmint caliber.- MS 9x56

Poll: What do you think about the Space Force?
In the 70’s we were still using jeeps that didn’t even have a roof. What they did have though was a sweet mount for an M60.- MS 9x56

They just don't build beautiful hunting guns like they used to.
The only thing that would make that rifle more beautiful would be a butter knife bolt handle. -

If you don’t hunt with it then it is just a bauble. Honor the craftsman who made it and use it for its intended job. -

That rifle is flat out gorgeous. Now to take it into the carpathIan mountains And give it some character marks while hunting Ibex or chamois. -

Do you Hunt from a ground blind?
That is my favorite way to hunt any big game. Still hunting takes a very high level of concentration. -
Crazy day in the woods
Several years ago I was. Moose hunting in Minnesota near Baudette and while sitting over a bog with a large pile of stone behind me. I got the eerie feeling something was watching me and I turned my head to look behind me. There on top of the rock pile stood a large wolf looking at me. We looked...- MS 9x56

Do you Hunt from a ground blind?
I have used both the pop up style and homemade burlap with stake and shot deer from both but my prference is a folding stool with my back to a tree where I can see 360 degrees. I have shot many deer this way. There is a time and place for each and I enjoy them all. -

For me that choice would depend on what I was hunting. My only remington is a 102 year old model 14 pump rifle in 30 remington. Not pretty but a great hunting rifle.
