    Deer with Larry Crow custom .44 Magnum

    'Flex - you have said good things about the 185 grain Nosler JHP at 45+P pressure (or 45 Super level) for deer. I'm sitting on at least 1500 of them and the accuracy is wonderful! If I'm out deer hunting and see a wild hog is that bullet up to the job? Or better considered as a whitetail...

    Well, not at the house. It's a tiny suburban lot. I guess if I really wanted to meet the local police I could take a few shots... ;) There's a great indoor range about 10 minutes away. It's fine for 25 yards and closer. I'm also a member at an old rifle club that goes to 200 yards. I like...

    Gavin and I are working on how I can contribute to his channel, long distance. I think it will happen. Regards, Guy

    185 gr Berry's Hollow Base plated bullets

    The Ruger belonged to a shooting buddy. That thing shot great. Reliable and accurate. As I recall it was the all steel version, but... it was a few years back. I like the way the Commander sits in the hand, but prefer the all-steel 5" 1911 for shooting. Also have a 3.5" Colt Officer's Model...

    So Glad That I Tried Different Rifle Cartridges & Loads!

    Thank you! I'm always open to coffee and conversation. Am near Oklahoma City these days if you're ever nearby. Regards, Guy

    So Glad That I Tried Different Rifle Cartridges & Loads!

    Ya... It's that time of life when I should be taking a look at which rifles my sons might want and use, then my own favorites until I'm too old to hunt. Sell the rest, maybe to fund one last really great hunt... :)

    375 Ruger with Speer 270 grain BTSP Bullets

    Am addicted to the 260 grain Nosler Accubond for my 375 H&H. Shot three black bear with it some years ago, from 15' to 300 yards. Excellent performance at those very different ranges. Excellent accuracy as well. There are less expensive bullets that will of course do just fine. One thing I...

    S&W K-14 and renewed interest in the 38 Special

    I think I'm helping Rob Leahy fund his retirement account with my Simply Rugged purchases the past few years... Sigh... :) Guy

    2025 Hunting Season

    Not yet. There's a fellow here locally who does that training a few times in the OKC area. I may have his name and number here someplace. Hope so! Guy

    S&W K-14 and renewed interest in the 38 Special

    Couldn't resist this 1960 vintage S&W K14 with the 6" barrel. It feels great in hand and has a superb double-action trigger pull. Brought it home, adjusted my dies first for full wadcutters, and recently for some cast semi wadcutters. It is a joy to shoot! I've got the 148 grain HBWC...

    First handgun deer taken

    Congrats! Nearly 100 yards with a revolver is a pretty long hunting shot. Impressive!

    2025 Hunting Season

    8mm Enthusiast - we got here in late summer.. The heat and humidity are formidable. Snakes yes. Chiggers yes. Ticks, thankfully I don't know. Summer months are awfully hot and humid. Oklahoma is the fourth highest state for snake bites... I'm not figuring on hunting much in summer. Slimfinn -...

    Thank you all for thinking of us. 2025 was a very difficult year for us emotionally. My wife and I had careers there. Friends. We raised our sons there. Washington left us. It went crazy full-tilt lefty. We couldn't be part of that. I'd been pushing to leave for about ten years, finally after...

    2025 Hunting Season

    It's been an interesting year. In February I took a mule deer doe with the 6.5 Creedmoor in Washington. Then after 31 years in Washington we pulled up stakes and moved to Oklahoma! Good grief. I could write something lengthy about why we left Washington, but frankly, Washington left us and we...
