Love accuracy! And I've often found it as my loads approach or reach the published book maximum. I've seen this with the 7mm Rem Mag and also with my 308 Winchester among others. The 308 max or near-max accuracy was when I was shooting a lot of 600 yard prone matches. It was nice to get those...

We'll have to compare notes this fall during or after the season. I think my "work" is going to provide me with an inline muzzle loader to use and write an article about as well as making a short video. Guy

Hang in there and be ready to leave if you must. :(

Yes, the 385 grain Hornady "great plains" hollow point soft lead bullets. Expanded well and killed quickly. Also pretty doggone accurate. One year I used black powder, after that I used Pyrodex. Guy

It's only been out of the safe a few times since the 1990's. Long time since I've shot it, so minimal wear and tear. Six deer limit here and a lot of the hunting is less than 100 yards. Also hogs... Guy

Sad about the fires disrupting the matches. Looks like your load and pistol get along real well with each other! Regards, Guy

Back in the mid 1990's I did some hunting with this little 50 cal Thompson-Center White Mountain Carbine, pretty much a lighter, handier version of TC's more famous Renegade. I shot two mule deer with it, a doe and a buck. Two shots two deer. Convinced me that maybe the old-timers were better...

Very business like rifle there Fotis. I like it. With that light barrel... Out of curiosity what's a three-shot group look like? Even at .7" - it's a very useful hunting rifle. My most used hunting rifles average a bit under an inch at 100 yards and I've used them with great success...

One of the best things about the Garmin and the Athlon is that it's awfully hard to shoot them since they're sitting on the bench alongside your firearm... C'mon guys - you know of chronographs that have been blasted sitting out in front of the firing line! ;) Guy

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...
