This was published in a 1937 magazine article, and is based on a conversation with someone who'd talked shooting and gunfighting with Wild Bill Hickcok. The target is a 5"x5" square with a 1" square in the center. Distance is 25 feet. Strong hand only. No time limit. All rounds must go...

Ya - if you've got one of the 4350's on hand - that's a great powder too... Guy

The 9mm in a full size 1911 is such a peach to shoot! Very little recoil. Easy accuracy. I've got a 5" Kimber in 9mm - it's the easy 1911 to shoot for sure. Guy

Factory match ammo usually produces very good results in a wide range of rifles - without having been worked up for each one specifically. For instance I'd go to some police SWAT sniper schools and competitions and almost everyone was using the famous Federal Gold Medal 168 or 175 grain...

Thanks for the info!

Thanks. 1911's look so good without a big ol' bulky box atop them. But, old eyes needed help. BTW, police shooting stats show a far greater hit percentage from cops who have dot-type sights on their handguns. Guy

Your project looks great! This is a 1974 vintage Remington 700 BDL that I sanded down and hand-rubbed 7 coats of Tru-Oil onto the stock. At first it had a dull sheen to it, but with more handling and time it developed into this. I refinished it about 1990 - and this photo was just from a...

I've used them in 6mm rem and 30-06. Accurate and very good hunting bullets. My son and I have taken deer and black bear with them. Guy

Picked up a new Springfield Ronin 1911 in 45 ACP in December, put 50 rounds through it within minutes of buying it. Excellent performance. My only complaint is that the thumb safety feels mushy when putting it on safe. Nice click though when taking it off safe. The sights are big and bold with a...

Just saw this post. I've done some shooting with a couple of different Canik pistols. Accurate and reliable. Very easy to shoot well, and a good value I thought.

Excellent! I've been cooking a stew all day. It smells wonderful. I'll bet that roast of yours smelled and tasted great! Guy

I've been pleased with the accuracy of Nosler Partitions from a variety of cartridges. Agree with SJB that a good thump helps. 6mm Rem 25-06 7mm Rem Mag 308 Win 30-06 300 Win Mag 375 H&H All shot well over the years. First started shooting Partitions back in the 1970's - they were made...

I've got a mess of those I bought from SPS years ago and haven't made sufficient use of them yet... Based on what the 115's have done with Retumbo, am thinking Grand should get them to 3200 ish... Guy

Ya... 2017 grizzly hunt... Dang... Thank you for your hospitality! Guy

I'd hunt with Joey again in a half a heartbeat. Guy
