I’m curious enough, I’ll order either the Speers or sierras in 125 or 130. I think the added speed should generate a good wound channel and a good result. The crop damage permits are not valid during a licensed hunt. Next two weekends have licensed hunts, I’ve been helping on is on a two...

We’ve put three crop damage does in the freezer in the last 8 days(hunted 2 days) 45/70G (2) and 3006(1). No pretty pictures. 1 DRT, 1 made 20 feet, 1 made 30 yards.

Scotties question made me go back and look at my loads and range log. I didn’t recall getting TAC and Big Game working. I like that both those powders were well behaved. Good groups at all loads.. I’m with you, if I’m under an inch, I’m usually happy. The CTBT performing badly probably...

Sounds like a bullet I’d like. Tough and expanding good…I’ll look for it!

I went to Savage USA web site and found if you creat an account you can send in a special Order. They do have an FAQ about getting a replacement stock. They say they have some for some models. I’m trusting my LGS did do that. The LGS I have is pretty solid. 2nd generation family business...

I have a marlin 336, a pretty gun, actually won it at a safari club meeting(drawing). Unfortunately, i have not figured out how to get it shooting better than 1.5-2” at 100. I’ve tried 170’s and 150’s. I think marginally the 150’s shoot a little better. The CTBT RN 150 for 3030, shoot poorly...

Hey Scottie, I recall a thread where Cheyenne commented she had a 275, 300, and 375 H&H. If she’s around still, she could provide some insight. I think she said her grandfather was her handloader. Love the cartridge… no experience with it.

So the LGS says… I did not try to contact savage… good point.

Just Wow Fotis! I think I’d be happy to hold any of your rifles or ammo… all top shelf performance!

First one in the freezer. Chris(son) passed on a couple early and at 1pm, he took a big Doe. My spot yielded bucks only. How many times do you wish for bucks and only get does.. about 10 am the neighbors showed up and started cutting the alfalfa field… so no more activity near me. Chris was...

I actually lik Boyd’s stocks. Was disappointed they would only support heavy barrels. I like the color you chose. Have a 3030 from Marlin with the grey stain.

So this unfortunate model 93, 22WM was in my house with 5.5’ of water for three days. Dropped off the gun at LGS and they went to it. 2 years later still not done… the issue… getting a stock. Also, my son dropped it off so I had to work through him to get updates and eventually the rifle back...

Been a while since I’ve posted. Just busy trying to get the house back to 100% post flood. Got asked to help clean up a deer problem this weekend. I’ll have access to five tags. Will probably self limit to two given warm weather in Michigan. One requirement is Bang Flop Kills. Have four...

Really nice!

FYI. My oldest finished med school(top of class) did a internal medicine residency at U of Alabama Birmingham(university hospital and VA hospital) including chief resident, then to Medical U of SCarolina (Charleston) for a fellowship in Rheumatology (including Chief Fellow), he’s now on Staff...

Well, 26 months after the Sanford dam failure and Edenville dam breach.. and 5.5’ of water in my reloading room… I have things put back together. Basement useable and I can start messing with my loads again. Probably 45/70 near top of list. Loaded FTX for it and it shot well. Killed one buck...

I have a 40 north of JD338. The lack of rain has been brutal. I carried in. Ton of lime and our Pine Barrens soil sweetened up nicely. PH is close to 6.8-7now. Deer visit regularly I put out clover and chicory. I’m going to have to go after a second round of chicory…so while my plot is thin...

Hi Salmoncatcher, Have been away from the forums for a while. Just lots of time taking care of in laws and my employer is selling my part of the company… that said, I made it to Ontario for a fabulous week of fishing. I’ve seen many things and got treated to a new combo on 8/18, we had a clear...
