    Pepsi and deer

    I think that the acid in the soda helps to break down connective tissue. I have had skirt steak that was marinaded in pepsi or coke can't remember which, but I did not care for it. When marinading meat over night, I like to soak it in beer and then apply a dry rub 8). I am not into sweet...

    Reloading the .270 Win

    Thank you for the great info! I think that I will start with the 140 grain BT since SPS has seconds right now. I have an excellent supply of RL 22, 4831 sc, etc. Just need to find brass and dies :wink: .

    Reloading the .270 Win

    Never loaded for the .270 before. Was contemplating the 140 g AB but noticed that SPS has 150 g BTs. What grain bullet/powder combo do you folks recommend?? Focusing on deer/antelope/black bear with this bullet/cartridge combo. I have other rifles for elk.

    Pre 64 model 70

    Going to go take the old girl out tomorrow if the weather holds. I have been very interested in the rifle/caliber after reading a couple of compilations of O'Connor's stories last summer. I feel very fortunate to have found the old girl for such a good deal-a little over half of the estimated...

    Pre 64 model 70

    Thank you for the replies. I scrubbed the bore fairly well and it looks to be in good shape. I have decided to purchase the rifle even though the driver's side of the receiver has been drilled for the side mounted flip over scope. I hope the the two screws in the side of the receiver do not...

    Shortage ?

    $57 for a brick of .22 !! That is a crock of crap. I must admit that I began drinking the cool-aid about a year after the first election when the drought began to clear up. I again stocked up on powder the week following the Sandy Hook incident. It is a sad state of affairs when folks gouge...

    Pre 64 model 70

    Contemplating picking up an old girl. She is, I believe a 1950, Model 70 in .270. I don't see any rust. The wood is worn with small scratches but no big dings or scrapes. I would have to clean the bore really well to tell you about the bore. She was oiled up and placed in a soft case for...

    .25-06 or .280???

    +1 more for the .257 Weatherby. I have a Mark V ultralight that is a pleasure to shoot and carry. Why not get an extra 200 FPS :twisted: ?

    next hunt

    Wow! What a wonderful trip. I can't wait till my four children are old enough to take family outings like yours. Then again, I am enjoying them as youngsters. Just last weekend, my wife and I were at the SCI convention in Reno at one of the dinner auctions. A hunting trip for six was...

    Hunting in June, July, Aug?

    In California, the coastal zone (A-zone) for archery black tail begins in mid-July and runs through mid-August. I have never hunted the coastal zones. I am fairly sure that most of the coast is private property but there are a fair amount of guides for this area if you are looking for a guided...

    Scheels in Iowa City

    Funny, went to the Scheels in Reno. Only primers they had were 209 and they had only about 6 different powders.

    The perfect defense round?

    The Hornady Critical Defense is a phenomenal round. I performed the bullet test with jugs and planned to post but I lost the slug :( . The 45 cal. 185 grain bullet weighted 180 grains and had great expansion. I was very impressed. I believe that it exited the side of the third jug at about...

    reloading for the .44

    Thank you for the reply. I am unsure of how much flair is needed. But, I will try flairing the mouth of the case some more. Does the Lee die come with more seater plugs than the Ball and the wad cutter?

    reloading for the .44

    I have a 7.25" SRH in .44 that I have not shot in about 5 years. I have had RCBS dies for about two years for the 44 so I decided to get off of my duff and start shooting it. I ordered up 200 of the 300 grain sporting handgun JHP from SPS a couple of weeks ago and purchased some H110. I have...

    Nosler Profession!!

    She finally arrived. Had to wait an extra month to have her shipped since I ordered an extra magazine. Then of course I had to wait the mandatory 10 day Kalifornia waiting period. If she shoots as well as JD338's AI, I will be in heaven. Can't wait to mount a scope and take her on her first...

    loads for the 300 H & H

    All this talk of the 300 H &H is making me want to take mine out and start reloading for it. About 10 years ago, my wife's grandmother gave me my wife's grandfather's Remington 721 in the 300 H&H. The rifle has been used and has taken many mule deer and black tail. Just wish it was a model 70...
