He was an icon in the rifle shooting world and is very much missed. Guy

Ya, the 6mm Rem, 6mm Creed, and 243 Win are all great multi-purpose cartridges. Varmints, coyotes, deer/antelope... All are fine with the 6mm's. Guy

"Spot and Stalk" as I've practiced it means getting to a place from which to glass... Spend time there watching likely areas, routes that the game animals are likely to use. Then when one is seen and selected, moving to where the shot can be taken. That movement is the stalk part. I try to mask...

@FOTIS gotta love the Bisley grip and hammer! Good looking Ruger you have there. Guy

55 grain bullets go very fast from the well-worn 22" barrel of my 6mm Rem, but the 75's have always grouped better and are excellent on varmints. I've loaded the 95 and 100 grain bullets for mule deer with complete satisfaction. Regards, Guy

Dad bought a matched pair, a 357 and this 45, both with brass grip frames long ago. 1970's or 1980's. He gave them to my sons quite a while ago, but my youngest son stores his guns at my place, so I take his 45 out every now and again for a little shooting. I figure it is "rent" for the storage...

Older three-screw Ruger Blackhawk Convertible with two cylinders, one in 45 Colt, one in 45 ACP. Such a good ol' revolver!

Caught the bumblebee at the crepe myrtle yesterday morning. Olympus OM-D with the 100-400mm Olympus telephoto lens. It has a "close focus" feature which produces results similar to that of a macro lens.

Athlon Rangecraft is a less expensive alternative to the Garmin and works pretty much the same. I've used them both and have no preference between them. Here's my setup for testing handun loads at the indoor range. You can see how small the Athlon unit is in the lower left of the photo. It's...

Yup. Things have improved and the doc has given me the okay. He's planning a trip to Africa himself and is happy that I'm going. Guy

Glad I could "help" ;)

Taken this morning from my patio while enjoying a cuppa coffee after dog and I finished our morning walk. Mama and I have been working to improve the backyard so that more bees, butterflies and birds will hang out there. It's working!

I finally found my really old, cheap .375" bullets and will be handloading them first, just to get the rifle on target and get some trigger time with it. I've got some 235 grain Speer and some 270 grain Hornady bullets that I can use for that before working up a serious hunting load with premium...

There are other good options, but I chose this new production Winchester Model 70 Alaskan in 375 H&H. The Alaskan model has a lighter barrel contour than the Safari Express model despite that not being noted on Winchester's website. It gives the rifle handling qualities I prefer. The 1.5-5x...

Good shooting! I haven't seen any RL-15 in a long doggone time. :( However I've found that Varget works really well instead. And of course there's always good ol' H4350 which can shove a 300 gr bullet at 2500+ fps just fine. Guy
