While the new Gen 6 should be out soon, I'm not sure that all previous models are being discontinued. Yesterday, my dealer just got in a shipment of Gen 4 and Gen 5 pistols.

I wish Glen Seekins would start building rifles for us lefties! :D

The same question was recently posted on another site. The general consensus was that the X dies works exactly as advertised once you get them set up correctly.

Maine produces some bucks with incredible mass. You've managed to tag a few of them. Congratulations.

I shot most of my bull moose with a 338RUM and a 250 Accubond. Terminal performance was always excellent. Most bullets passed through on broadside shots. I'd expect a Barnes bullet to have less expansion but greater penetration. Velocities in my 26" bbl ran about 3,000fps.

I much prefer evening hunting, which is when I have taken most of my whitetails. However, when the bucks are actually chasing does, any time in the field is a good time. Even midday can be the perfect opportunity. Bucks are too preoccupied to use any of their natural instincts for survival.

Since my earlier post, I actually caught a Speer 400 JSP bullet in an animal. I shot a 300lb boar right behind the shoulder at 125yds. The bullet went through the thick shield on both sides of the boar and was caught in the hide on the off-side. The recovered bullet was 90 cal and retained...

I'd like to see Glen Seekins produce his new PH3 in left hand.

My limited use of the ABLR had a different outcome. The ABLR bullets shot from a 6.5 Creed caused a rather extreme exit wound on two deer shot at about 100yds. I've never seen that happen with a regular Accubond, which I've used extensively.

The swift 350 A-Frame is really a perfect 45-70 bullet even though it's a bit stout at 45-70 velocities IMO. The only downside to the Swift is its relative cost. I've got several boxes of Hornady 350RN laying around here. They will get the job done at a fraction of the cost. If I was intent on...

The concept behind the ABLR is good. But ........what we really need is a redesigned ABLR that is easier to tune. Maybe a hybrid ojive would do the trick.

Nothing quite like a northern whitetail. Congrats to all the successful hunters up there in Maine.

That sounds like a very rewarding hunt. Something that we all dream about. Congratulations.

Fortunately, my health insurance covers hearing aids, including some rather expensive models. However, I have noticed that hearing aids are getting much less expensive and are in financial reach of most anyone. Some are in the hundreds of dollars. I recently read that Medicare may soon cover...

Funny, but they seem to have the hunting seasons figured out pretty well too.
