I feel the same way about my now long gone 79 F150 4x4. That was one very good truck with the exception of having to use unleaded gas. I removed the muffler and catalytic converter and stuck them out in my shed. I fitted a section of tail pipe to fill in gap and called it good until they...

I just hope my 2019 F150 outlasts me. So far so good but??????????? Paul B.

I don't see why any of those bullets wouldn't work. Currently my main .35 Whelen is a custom on a 98 Mauser action. It has a 1 in 14" twist barrel 24" long. I just happened to try the 225 gr. TSX bullets early on and have never gone to anything else. The count is something like five shots and...

I know the feeling. PaulB.

If I were able to swing a hunt for a moose, I would do just like I do for elk, get a cow tag. Most of my hunting has ben for deer and where possible I always took a doe when it was allowed. All my elk ave been cows for the cook pot. Therefore, if I were to do a moose hunt, I would opt for that...

I'll try to answer what appears to me to be two questions. One, your 2x7 scope should not be a problem. Of the elk I have taken, most rifles had 3x9 scopes and when the shots were taken, the scopes were set a 3x. That includes shot from bout 75 to 530 yards. Cartridges used ranged from the...

It's not what they can discover about you, it's more like what can they make up about you to make a case? Case in point, a severely liberal regime gets into office that hates guns and the Second Amendment. Use AI to get into the NRA's computer and gets the names of the high dollar members...

I don't see why a 140 gr. B wouldn't work just fine for deerat 2800 FPS and possibly even a little faster. The only bullets I've played with in my .280 Rem are the 150 gr. Remington Corlokt which would be just fine on deer although you can get them quite going a bit quicker and the 160 gr. Speer...

I shot one deer at bout 75 yards, give or take. I had a good solid rest and saw where the bullet hit. Cartridge was the 7x57 and the bullet was one of the first 140 gr. Ballistic Tips that came in 100 round boxes. Velocity was right around 2800 PPS. The deer was with a small herd and at the shot...

You're not the only one looking for a #1 in .35 Whelen. My very first #1 was also the first one I'd ever seen. They'd been out for some time but none of the LGS in Northern Nevada had one in stock. I found the one I got in 1975 and have never gotten it to shoot worth a damn. I found another at...

The 38/44 was one of the first cartridges I loaded for. I did work them up to magnum levels and for a long time that gun was my serious woods gun. On Fourth of July weekend I used it to kill a Black Bear that camp into camp and was going after one of the female campers in our group. A while...

Prayers on the way. Paul B.

I would say you're right about at the top pressure for a 7-08 or .270 Win. I run 49.0 gr. W760 and the140 gr. Ballistic Tips or 2800+ FPS. I gotret the exact velocity becuase I'm breaking those loads down to salvage powder, primer and brass. The bullets are the earlier style was too soft to...
