    staBALL HD load data for 7mm rem mag

    I loaded 162 grain (Nosler SB & Hornady SST) and 154 grain (Hornady SP) at various times in the past using Magpro. The powder produced acceptable velocities and some fine accuracy in my 7RM. Because I was focused on using 175 grain pills and had some fine loads with RL22 and H870, I didn't...

    anybody fish for

    Enjoyed fishing for carp, drum, and buffalo when I lived in KS and in TX. Carp was thought to be a trash fish, but an Indian neighbour would pressure cook any I would bring her. When she was finished, it was hard to distinguish her preparation from canned salmon. All in knowing what you're...

    staBALL HD load data for 7mm rem mag

    That's a true statement, Guy. I still have a few lbs of H870, 5 or 6 lbx of 22, and a lb of 8133. It is mostly reserved for my 7RM.

    What was I thinking?

    Dan, I've owned two BLRs chambered in .358 Win. Sorry I don't have one now, though I do own Ruger chambered in that cartridge. I have taken bison, black bear, mule deer, and elk with a BLR. It is a sweet handling bundle of energy.

    A Great Deal of Satisfaction

    Well, appears that the elk are in trouble. We're all pulling for you, Dan.

    Tough, Rugged Bastards

    Don, It's always hard to say "Goodbye." It's somewhat easier when we say our Goodbye to one who accomplished something of note. Some people live a life; some people make a memorable life. It sounds as if the Major provided one of those memorable lives that enriched all who knew him.

    Good Old Gumbo

    I have file, shrimp, chicken (or ruffed grouse), and lots of rice. No swamp water (I have to substitute muskeg wTer) and no andouille sausage (I have to substitute Ukrainian sausage). I do ha have a good selection of spices, and because of the influx of South Asian immigrants, there is okra...
