    shortages

    No problem. With a family, TP is like ammo. We have plenty on hand, so we didn't buy during the panic either. I try to establish a "hold level" for every type of ammo I shoot. If it dips low, I buy more. I've bought very little ammo during the pandemic, mainly because I simply didn't have...

    Selling Brass

    Never heard that one. How much do you want to have on hand before it becomes worthwhile to take it to a recycling place?

    Selling Brass

    Well then, I guess I thought the economics of brass were more favorable. Unfortunately most of you guys are out west and I am not, so in-person trading becomes difficult. Worse still, I don't drink beer. (Please do not tell F&G - I don't want my hunting license revoked).

    shortages

    Perhaps you missed the part where I mentioned shooting 100-200 rifle rounds annually. This is not "hoarding stuff I really don't need". I do need it; it gets used. I wouldn't buy it if I didn't. You write as if I shoved a nun and crippled vet into the gutter to grab the ammo. It had been...

    Saving money is hardly "blowing your skirt up". Nor is being well-stocked now.

    Selling Brass

    It seems like most of you are reloaders. Thinking that someday I might choose to reload, I have kept all of my readily-accessible brass casings. The pile is growing, and I don't plan to start reloading anytime soon, so I'm looking for avenues to sell my brass. Would anybody here be...

    shortages

    It is rare for me to buy more than two boxes of hunting rifle rounds at any time, but it does happen. Had a recent score with a Wal-Mart selling PowerShok and Fusions at pre-plandemic pricing. I bought them out - eight boxes. About a year ago, two Wal-Marts had mis-marked some of their rifle...

    Ideas for a antelope, deer and elk rifle for wife and daughter.

    My favorite cartridge is actually a poor choice for your application, so I gotta go with what the numbers tell me. 7mm-08 sounds perfect. They'll appreciate the short action over the .270, and it seems better suited towards some of the bigger badder stuff than 6.5 Screedmoor. You guys are...

    Single shot 22

    As part of my mandatory evangelism for Savage, I will tell you about our Savage Rascal. I bought it for both kids to learn on. My son was seven at the time. Now he's 13, and my daughter is 16, but they still love to shoot that gun. It is the one gun that goes with us every time we go to the...

    Poking the bear so to speak (red dots)

    I'm a bit of a hypocrite here. My .44 magnum revolver has a full 2X Leupold scope on it. I got the scope for target and hunting, but for defense, I would rather use irons. I'm not a fan of stuff sitting so high on top of a defensive handgun, so red dots are a no-no for my personal carry guns.

    cease fire....

    I learned my lesson from the 2013 Obama Ammo Shortage. Must admit it seemed a bit silly 1-2 years ago, buying ammo much faster than I could ever shoot it. Now all I can think is "Why didn't I buy TWO cases when I had the chance?" About 18 months ago, I bought the wife a case of .380 for $239...

    Opinions on 10mm in Grizzly country?

    My first gun of any type is my .44 magnum revolver which I scoped about two years later. I've been using it for 32 years, and have a high level of proficiency, so it would certainly be my choice. I won't ridicule, but I think that .45 ACP, even in the hottest configurations, is terribly...

    Opinions on 10mm in Grizzly country?

    C'mon guys, settle down. This is starting to sound iike the other forums I cheerfully left.

    Missouri proposes black bear hunting season.

    I've had very little luck calling in bears. I don't know if its my technique or the area. I suspect I might have better luck out west.

    Opinions on 10mm in Grizzly country?

    ^^^This The 10mm for grizzly is a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is chosen because it is a big semi-auto for people who want to carry a semi-auto, not because its a good choice. Objectively, it is substantially less powerful than a .44 magnum. I have no experience with grizzlies, but a bit...

    Copper bullet performance

    To those of you who hunt using copper bullets, do you also practice with them? For cost reasons, I practice with cheap ammo like CoreLokts and PowerPoints and then attempt to match the ballistics later with the pricier ammo (copper or VitalShoks). I've got this formula nailed in .308, as the...

    Ruger American

    I ask because I consider the magazines on the Savage rifles to be their weak point. Maybe not as weak as I thought. I bought two Savage rifles this year, and their magazines differ from each other and from the older ones. Not enough time to see if they'll operate better. The X-Bolt magazines...

    Ruger American

    What don't you like about the Ruger rotary magazines? Would you make the same complaint about the Browning X-bolt magazines?

    Affordable bolt action

    Thanks. Yes, having tracked over a dozen bears, that skill served us well. No blood, but my "Where would I go if I were a bear?" skills landed him shortly thereafter - and we had no death moan. Thankfully, it was only 4:30pm. Her first ever, so its becoming a rug at the usual great expense.

    Affordable bolt action

    I do suspect that 6.5 Manbun kills better than .44 magnum, but one of the main reasons I moved up to .338 Federal was the bleeding. And hey, if your whitetails are normally in the 200 lb range, I want to know where you hunt. Such a whitetail would not be a "record book" here, but it would...
