Very interesting comment. I'm 81 and my shooting habits have basically changed over to handguns. I'm still qualifying on a yearly basis for my HR 218 and both that and just plain having fun takes up my time. I've hunted deer in Maine since 1960 and with a couple of side trips to New York state...

Guy, Quick question, Have you checked with any of the local PD's yet on getting recertified with the HR-218. I had good luck with our local Sheriff's Department. Initially tried our local men in Blue but they lacked the manpower to assist.

My niece has had her Canik for roughly two years and has put a lot of bullets down the barrel. Has held up well and is very accurate.

Merry Christmas to everyone. May your coming year be exceptional.

while we're talking primers I was at my local Bass Pro on Sunday and purchased 1000 Federal small pistol for 56.00. They listed for 60.00 but with a military discount the price was less. Seemed like a very good price.

That looks like the twin brother of my .338RUM.

I originally had planned to put a Schmidt and Bender on my Rem 700 .338 Ultra Mag as all write ups on the scope were very positive. Along the way I took a look at the Zeiss Diavari 1.5X6 and after a lot of thought (it was on sale) I decided on the Zeiss. I find the glass equal and repeatability...

7-08 all the way. Been hunting with my model 700 Short action Titanium for many years and it is perfect for Deer.

Sierra made quite a run of 225 grain Pro Hunter bullets in .338 Caliber. I took a number of Elk with that bullet and was very impressed. I'm not sure whether Sierra continued their manufacture.

I live on the Central East Coast of Florida and believe it or not we got some excellent photographs of the Northern lights. Very rare phenomenon as they don't normally show up this far south.

Agree with you on Greece Fotis. I had a good friend who grew up in Greece and raved over the seafood. I was born and raised in Southern Connecticut on Long Island Sound and by the time I reached teenager status I was SCUBA diving and bringing Fish and lobster home on a weekly basis. Never had a...

I'm running a 2012 F150 4WD with a 5.0. I've spoken with a relative who has worked at the Ford plant for a good number of years and his comment was the 5.0 is the best motor that Ford has ever produced. It is also one of the oldest models and holds its own against all other production units...

Actually I've been using IMR 4350 in my 225 Partition and Prohunter loads. My velocity is just under 3000 and the load has taken a number of Elk. Accuracy is 1 1/2 inches at 200 yards.

Thank you for posting that comment. I tried Accubonds in my .338RUM and could not get them to shoot to the accuracy level I was looking for. The partition on the other hand did an excellent job both in the accuracy Department and the Elk Department.

I guess I'm going to be old School here and state one bullet, and that would be the partition. I've used them over a lot of years and they do exactlly what their supposed to do. I've pulled deer and Elk out of the woods many times with this bullet.
