What a terrific hunt you both had, and now the work begins! You’ll both be eating good for many moons to come(y)

Several years ago I picked up a couple hundred of the Speer 220 grain bullets for my .348. I posted it somewhere and I think the consensus was they had not been made since the 60’s or 70’s. I think I even called Speer trying to see if they had any load data in the archives. One of these...

Since the 7x57 is my all time favorite cartridge I’d love to see some photos of the rifle.

Well…I am close to retirement and this could be the gig. But if taking a picture of me doesn’t break the camera, me running one probably would🥴🥴🥴

There was a day not too long ago that I said everyone should have an ‘06 in the safe. You could probably find a box of shells in most gas stations in the smaller western towns. Such a versatile cartridge whether you hand loaded or not. Really a one gun to do all your big game hunting. I...

I had one X-bolt in .280 Remington that shot lights out. Like an idiot I traded it to a buddy for a Winchester model 70 in .280. That rifle was finicky and went down the road, while he still has the X-bolt. I really like the slimmer lines of the Leupold scopes and think they look good on...

Great way to start and end the hunt! There wasn’t even enough time to get cold;)

When I picked mine up I grabbed some Speer 250’s. It shot so well I’ve never experimented with anything else until SPS had some 250 Partitions for sale. They shot equally as well so I loaded up and never looked back. My buddy bought a Springfield action from me and had it barreled for the...

A new law was recently passed through the house and senate, expected to be signed by the President this week. Sounds like Canada will implement within weeks too. Any .35 Whelen must be loaded with at least a 250 grain bullet. I suggest the Partitions or Speer. Just trying to help you stay...

Great hunt and a great story to go with it. It’s funny how we keep in touch with a few people who only crossed paths a short time in our lives. I stay in contact with some fellow Marines even though I’ve been out for over 30 years now. Ironically Guy and I were on the same ship together for...

I have a handful of .357’s and one .38. I like the versatility of the .357 where it can be loaded from mild to wild but still be plenty potent and very shootable At the same time. I’ve toyed with the idea of have a cylinder machined to accept moon clips and the chambers recut on one so they...

I just noticed the peep sight on the bolt of the savage. Most people would look and wonder…what is that? Very nice old nostalgic guns. It’s been a few years since I’ve shot my 71, may have to rectify that. I brought my Dad’s 1957 Winchester .30-30 back with me this year. I’m headed to...

If you watch the video closely you can see a Cub. Once the bear gets knocked below the climber it retreats and comes back towards him. Then you can see the cub on the same ledge in the brush. You may have to watch it a couple times to catch it.

A few years ago the Bend area was on my short list of areas I’d like to retire to. But their Politics are just as bad, if not worse, as Washington. It’s a damn shame too because it’s such a beautiful area and the climate suits me better in the winter. I wouldn’t really want to work after...

That’s a great looking fish!!

I always think of an aggressive animal like this as bad if it’s allowed to live. What happens to the next person who may not be armed? While I agree they have their place in the food chain, once they lose their fear of humans it’s probably best they be dispatched.

Weighed the bullet today, 72% retention is about what other Accubonds have given me. There was another critter close by that we never saw, but we were always on the lookout!!!

I was pretty fortunate and was able to hunt South Africa in 2012. I took my Ruger No 1 in 7x57 with handloaded 160 grain Accubonds and a Ruger 77 in .35 Whelen with hand loaded 250 grain Partitions. I used the 7x57 for Gemsbok, 2 Impala and a Blesbok. I used the Whelen on Zebra, Blue...

Excellent way to spend the weekend and get a kid into the sport. Congratulations to him!

Thanks fellas, I’ll definitely eat well this next year. No pack horses for us, just 4 guys with 2 legs each.
