    Rifle tag filled

    That's a nice one! Congrats! My brother in law managed to get a 10 pointer last weekend. I got a little spiker that I thought was a doe at first light on Sunday morning. It's spikes are small enough it counts as a doe. So there's still hope!

    Anyone hunt with 6.5 PRC?

    Well the .30-30 is more efficient than any of the calibers listed in this post. So there. The whitetail I took last Sunday didn't seem to care about fps per grain of powder.

    New to reloading - what advice do you have?

    You can save money by not purchasing a brass tumbler. It is not necessary to have spotlessly clean brass to load with. I take my fired cases, run an appropriately sized bore brush through the case mouth, wipe the case off with a paper towel, and they're ready for lube and resizing. I do have a...

    Best Antelope/Mule Deer Caliber?

    I'll join this circus. It's obvious. When you look at the cartridge with the most available ammunition, the most amount of rifles chambered for it, the amount of bullets available in the widest array of grain weights, the largest library of reloading data, mild recoiling, efficient, and proven...

    Pillar bed Howa 1500

    There's a good article on stress free bedding HERE. This is really similar to how I bed with one exception: I also use electrical tape to "clamp" the action into the stock. The tape is stretchy enough that you're not inducing stress but merely holding things in place. Darrell Holland uses...

    Pillar bed Howa 1500

    For pillars I have used 5/16" stainless steel tubing with good results. The outside surface can be pretty slick so I rough them up with sandpaper to get a good bond to the stock. To keep yourself out of trouble when you're making your pillars be sure and fit the action and floorplate up and...

    WTB Hunting Pack

    I just took receipt of one of these about two weeks ago. I've done a little bit of hiking around with it and so far I like it. It's lighter than both of my internal frame packs and more comfortable. That's not saying much since both of those internal frames are pretty inexpensive packs but I was...

    Freezer buying - opinions and reviews sought

    Some of the new Kenmore might be Daewoo? They switch manufactures regularly for their products do it's hard to keep up.

    Ruger No. 1 25-06 with Leupold 3x9

    I love my .30-06 No. 1. They're great rifles. I took my first animal with it. .25-06 is a neat cartridge and would make someone very happy.

    Freezer buying - opinions and reviews sought

    We sell appliances where I work. A couple of the brands we sell have models made by Midea. We've had good luck with them. One brand we carry is made by Electrolux and we've had good luck with them as well. We get some GE from time to time but we don't keep any freezers that they make, just...

    Calibres you'd like to own

    https://www.srcarms.com/about-us/ Nope. Nothing other than the namesake. I think it was too new for the older guys who are familiar with the original Sharps rifles and cartridges to get excited about and the bore and powder charge style of cartridge naming was too old school for younger folks...

    Calibres you'd like to own

    It's an AR chambering but a fellow could have a bolt action chambered in it if you ordered a reamer. It's along the same ilk as the 6x45 just in .25 caliber. With a 24" barrel you can push an 87 grainer to 3000 fps. They also loaded up a cool 100 grain round nose and dubbed it "Swine Smasher". I...

    Target panic, buck fever, yips!

    Whatever you want to call it. What is your process for dealing with target panic? My brother-in-law gave me good advice when I started hunting: With the safety on take a few "dry runs" pressing the trigger with a proper sight picture and sight alignment. Some other advice I heard was to not look...

    Calibres you'd like to own

    It's cool to see so much quarter bore love. I almost bit into a .25-45 Sharps which belongs in the "Out of the mainstream" thread. There are many good bullet options but I wish there were some heavier bullet to better fill the gap between .243 and .264. Blackjack Bullets makes a 131 grain high...

    What are you currently reading?

    We're starting a series on Romans at church. I'll be reading Paul's letter to the church in Rome through and through several times before we wrap up.

    Pig killing day

    I heard the acorns are good right now down in southern Oklahoma. I'll be down there in mid-January to hunt some feral swine. Hopefully they'll be nice and fat!
