I have two Redhawks, a 5.5" and a 7.5". Either one needs a carriage as they have mass and weight. Definitely hell for stout. I wouldn't mind finding a 4.2" just to complete the set. Paul B.

Me too! Six shots and six dead elk. What's not to like? Rifle is a custom Mauser, 24" barrel, 1 in 14" twist. Load is the 225 gr. Barnes TSX, Remington brass, Winchester WLR (standard) primer and RL15 powder. Accuracy usually one inch or less and velocity 2710 FPS. Paul B.

This is all very interesting. Sometimes it does good to resurrect an old thread. I think this is one that needs to come up every once in a while. When I look at the photo of Guy's ammo, I think that the bullet is the Lyman #429241 which Lyman slightly altered which angered Mr. Keith. as they...

My first .35 Whelen was a Ruger M77RS. Number two was a Remington M700 Classic and finally an Oberndordorf Mauser custom which has put the other two on a semi-retired status. The first two have 22" barrels and a 1 and 16" twist and the Mauser 24" with a 1 in 14" twist. All three rifles shot...

My first press wasn't even a press, but the old Lyman 310 tong tool I loaded some very accurate 30-30 and 3-06 ammo with that old system. The only drawback was it neck sized only. I had reached the ripe old age of 16. A few years later I picked up a Pacific "C" press so the I could use a full...

Welcome aboard Sixtus. I hope you'll pardon me going a bit off to the side but it is real time experience. I did what little handgun hunting in the early 1970s snd IIRC, Nevada allowed handgun hunts on deer for the first time in IIRC 1973 or maybe 74. I used a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum...

I feel your pain. We lost my stepson a few years back. He was more a son to me than the one blood kin son from a a previous marriage. You have my prayers and condolences with the hope they will help heal. Paul B.

Congratulations! It's hard for me to keep up but a rough last count was 10 Grandkids and 4 Great grandkids with possibly another one on the way. Paul B.

I once overheard my late wife talking with a neighbor who was decidedly anti-gun and hunting. She said that I got up and and went to work every day. He doesn't come home drunk or chase the floozzies. If buying a new every once in a while is what makes him happy? tThen I'm happy. Besides, get to...

I was involved with a contractor today to hav some work done on my house and the talk evolved into something interesting. I never knew that big game hunters from the USA are charged higher prices to hunt and higher trophy fees that Europeans.. WTF??? I didn't ask what the higher percentage cost...

1100RM said, "Looking at Nosler Reloading data that Nosler 168gr AB Long Range looks impressive ballistics. I doubt any animal would know a difference between it and a 180gr bullet." I'm not going to say you're right or wrong about that bullet as I haven't used it. However, I have discussed...

After a two year battle with a very stubborn rifle, a Ruger M77 RSI I found a load that would at least give usable hunting accuracy,. First off, I bought some long discontinued Speer Nitrex ammo at a gun show. That load shot accurately in the RSI. Powder was 49.0 gr. of a ball type powder and...

I hae three rifles chambered to the .35 Whelen. A Rger M77RS was my first, then followed y a Remington M700 Classice. About a year later I came across a custom based on an Oberndorf Mauser action that just had to come home with me. That Mauser has been my go to elk rifle ever since. run it...

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.
