"If you poke a hole in the heart and lungs it’s going to end up tipping over dead within a few seconds no matter how far or fast it runs." That may very well be true but I still haven't figured out how one deer shot by one of my neighbor kids with my .243 ran over 250 yards before running into a...

There was an outfit call QUE that sold a unit that was a clone of the BOSS. A friend had one on a Ruger $1 .300 Win. mag and it reduced recoil and inproved accuracy as well. I decided to get on for one of my .300 Mags but was informed the company was no longer in business. I strongly believe...

Happy birthday! Paul B.

Did you know Claude? I met him and we talked a few times when I lived in Winnemucca. I gathered he was a fairly big fan of the .243. Kind of a strange dude. As I grow older I've com to the conclusion that the hard kicking rifles have to stay at home keeping each other company. I worry these...

I think that at least for a while the plants will stay here due to the fact there's some serious government contracts involved. However, I do feel that those shareholders and their greed show a clear and present danger to the security of the country, especially is after the government contracts...

My normal working load for the .38 Spl. is the Lyman #358156, nominally 158 gr. and running around 160 gr. in my alloy over 5.0 gr. Unique. The Speer manual shows 5.2 gr. to be a Plus P load with a 158 gr. lead bullet. There are two cartridges called38/44. One is an antique and no longer around...

I run the 165 gr. Nosler Accubond over 56.0 gr. W760, Winchester brass and WLR primer for roughly close to 2800 FPS from my 30-06 with 24" barrel. Bullet is seated to standard factory length. Rifle is a custom based on an FN Mauser with 24" Douglass barrel and is bedded into a McMillan classic...

Well as I live and have lived in areas known more for longer range shots at game my rifles for short range kind of have to do double duty. Most, if not all my der hunting since about 1873 has been done for the most part with two rifles. A Remington 660 and a Ruger M77 RSI. Both are chambered...

The Hornady load manual #10 shows the105 gr. A-MAX as discontinued and a 105 gr. match bullet still in production. BTW, the 105 gr. bullet I was thinking of was a round nose bullet that shot very well in a .243 I owned. Paul B.

I've done a few handgun hunts and a couple time for defense against critters. One bear with a .38 Spl. Two shots, dead bear. One very angry hog, again two shots, dead hog using a .357 Magnum Bullet in both cases the Lyman #358156, a gas checked 158 gr. SWC. Two deer with the .44 magnum, one with...

I'm not sure the action would be strong enough. What I would do is first try to find another breech block for one in .32 center fire or another one foe rimfire and have the firng pin closed and a new hole drilled and make a new firing pin so that the new block can make .32 shorts and longs work...

Hornady made a 105 gr. bullet for a while but they discontinued it. They also dropped the 100 gr. spire point flat base as well. (Strong very bad language group needed at this point) Paul B.

I agree with what has been said about the quality of the customer service given by RCBS, About the only thing they don't do well is with the electronic powder measures. If it's within the warrantee tie you're good to go. Past that time they give you a contact number/address on a place in the...

I went exclusively to the 150 gr. bullet in the .270. Top performers have been the 150 gr. Sierra Game King and Nosler Partition. Last animal I shot with a .270 was an antelope in New Mexico. Shot was at 75 yards as determined by my guide and it an in about 30 foot half circle and expired. Meat...

Congratulations on taking that buck with an heirloom rifle. I've hunted with my Great-Grandfather's old Winchester M94 carbine a few times but have for some time used it at the range or an occasional desert hike with relatively light cast bullet loads. I took my first deer at age 11 back in 1949...

That's rather abnormal behavior and it would be interesting to see the results of a full formal psychiatric evaluation. News articles and people's internet commentaries leave out a lot of information, sometimes biased for one reason or another. Paul B.

"Crater marks on your primer. After firing and the bolt opens normal make sure to look at the primer. Crater marks indicates too much pressure. There are tons of image examples on the inTRAnet of a cratered primer." While I agree with this, be advised that there are exceptions to the rule. I...

Yes, they will work. One thing I forgot to mention and this is based on conversations with a couple of the guides I've hunted with. The ABLR had only been out for a year or two and I asked the guides if any of their clients had used that bullet. They did say that they worked good way out yonder...

I don't shoot the .280AI, just the plain old original .280 Rem. I've received excellent accuracy from the 160 gr. Speer Grand Slam bullet, the older two core version and just haven't gotten around to trying the new cup and core type. Also, I use a powder no longer available, Winchester's WMR...

I concur 100%. Paul B.
