Congratulations! Grand kids are the greatest! I've got 9 as well. Proverbs 17 "Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers."

For the Christian Easter is perhaps the greatest time of all. Whether or not one believes, without our great God and Savior Jesus Christs death and resurrection from the grave, his death would have been an insignificant event. As Paul said in, 1st Corinthians 15 "If in this life only we have...

That's exactly what happened to this ol gobbler. 😁

Thanks my friend. It was an awesome hunt. There's nothing like a big ol gobbler "spitting, drumming and gobbling" within 20-25 feet of you.

That'll draw blood right there!! 😁

Now go get a gobbler I did. Called a big ol Tom in for my grandson about 8:40 am EST. 21 lbs, 1 inch spur, 11 in beard

You are right. Im not really concerned about how fast but inquiring minds want to know! LOL Where I hunt my shots rarely exceed 125 yds with the vast majority around 65-70 yds.

Prices tend to be "crazy" just about everywhere you look. It's just the price you pay to play the game. One either pays it or sits on the sidelines!

Well, I "think" Ive found my load. After increasing the charge weight half a grain from the previous charge weight it seemed to really like this combo. Load consists of Hornady brass, IMR-4895, WLRP, 165 gr Nosler Solid Base bullet and 2.800. coal. Temp was 80 degrees today and sunny. The...

That'll work right there!

Yes sir, that's a deal. I remember several years ago I was at Wally World after deer season ended. They had put their Blackhorn 209 powder on clearance. I bought 5-6 bottles of it for 14 dollars per. I'm still using that supply as well.

I've had my 280 for 30 yrs or so. It shoot's 150 gr class bullets the best. It really like the 154 gr SST

I've probably killed 100 or more deer with just Nosler 7mm bullets and never had an issue. The BT's are outstanding bullets when used within their design parameters.

I don't have a 6.5 but 41 to 45 grains of Sta.ball 6.5 should get you to where you need to be with the 140 gr BT.

I was tooling around in my local outdoor store the other day and came across these bullets. 20 dollars per box. Every now and then a blind squirrel finds a nut. I guess I'll add them to my stash of Nosler bullets. I have other flavors that I currently use but couldn't pass "um up.
