    Garmin Chronograph

    I've been using my Oehler 35P for a looooong time now and have been very pleased with its performance. It is a bit of a hassle to set up and after looking at the new Garmin I'm thinking my wallet is going to get somewhat lighter.

    Loading 338 Cartridges

    I've been using 225 Grain Sierras or 225 partitions and I can honestly say I have never had an Elk do anything else other than go down immediately.

    Rifle scopes

    I feel like the low man on the Totem pole. I've got a 3X9 Kahles for my Christensen Arms .300 Mag. My .338 RUM wears a Zeiss Diavari 1X6 which has taken a lot of Elk. My Ruger Deerstalker .44 Carbine wears a Nikon 1.5X4 (old scope but is crystal clear) My .336 Marlin in .35 Remington wears a...

    Ruger Blackhawks & Simply Rugged Holster:

    I noticed both revolvers are three screw. Older Rugers are quite a gun. I have one in Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum and the trigger breaks like glass. Tell the boys good luck.

    Prayers for Israel and our American's lost/captured.

    Not to change the subject but Biden has ordered a second Carrier Battle Group into the area. So now we have two groups of ships sitting off the coast with orders to do "Nothing" other than provide good hearted support to the Israel military. I can't believe this idiot would actually tie up two...

    Scope Mounting Questions

    My .338RUM has Warne rings and bases. Rings are set to Warne Torque specs. Never had movement of any kind. Excellent product.

    RCBS case lube - 2

    I've been using RCBS case lube since I started handloading 35 years ago. I use a Qtip for the inside neck area. After sizing (and trimming if needed) I wet tumble the cases for an hour. When dry I load. Never had a problem after either a wet or dry tumble.

    The 450 gettin ready for this year

    That muzzlebrake will work wonders in the recoil department. I have a Competitor Arms single shot 30.06 pistol with a 15 inch barrel and a muzzlebrake. The noise is ungodly (hearing protection absolutely needed) but it tames the recoil to a definitely tolerable level.

    2023 Hunting Season

    I'd swear, in that bottom picture it looks like he's sticking his tongue out at you. He knows you can't toss any lead at him.

    Redding competition shell holders

    I've been using the Competition shellholders for quite a while now for my .300WM, 7MM-08, and 30.06 and it absolutely takes all the guesswork out of sizing. I stopped doing the twist the die routine a long time ago. You'll be very satisfied with that setup.

    Alice Cooper’s take on today’s society

    Had the opportunity a number of years ago to meet Alice Cooper (sans makeup) and his band members. A nice bunch of guys. He's quite intelligent and friendly.

    2023 Hunting Season

    Jim, from what I've read the Wyoming antelope is in short supply. My old boss has been putting in for four years now (private land permit) and has struck out. He has a cousin that lives in Cody and he hasn't gotten a permit in a while. From what I have heard the winters have not been kind to the...

    Model 70 Mount and Ring recommendations...

    I don't know if Warne makes rings/bases for this unit but if so their quality is second to none. They are one solid setup and I've been using them for years. Never had a failure.

    Smoke

    Doc, we had one day of smoke way down here in Florida. I live on the Central East Coast and both the Sun and Moon were hazy with the typical smell. Luckily the wind changed and things cleared up. Now we're dealing with Sahara Sand. You're probably saying HUH? Just about every year we get a very...

    Points...

    Guy, Let me tell you about the state of Maine and Moose. I started applying for a moose tag in the late 70's. At that time each hunter put in one application and as usual there was a much smaller percentage for non residents. The residents got the bulk of the tags. On my 17th year of putting in...

    WHAT TO HUNT

    Sounds like the Black Flies in Maine. My buddy spent two weeks at his log home in Dover Fox Croft and related that he couldn't leave the house without totally being covered in netting. He used plenty of deet and said they bite like hell.

    nice old car

    Boy did you bring back some memories. In 1968 I left the Military and the first thing that caught my eye was a Ford Fairline (If I remember correctly) with a 427 under the hood. Needless to say I had fun with that car for a while. What a gas burner. The New England weather took its toll and I...
