Afraid you may be right. Unless the next generation makes a lot more money than I did as a younger person. Its nothing to see $1,000 rifles- and tags and limited hunting opportunities. But then I am getting old and my situation is different. Kids would rather "shoot in a video game" if they...
Pretty much priced me out as a non resident. Not blaming or saying its wrong either. If as has been ststed the Wyo GFP is not supported outside tag fees then I guess thats the reality. Residents who pay the taxes should get priority. CL
You see, Fotis dosent mess around- when he needs some "recoil therapy" he dosent go blow off a couple hundred rounds of .223. He reaches for a 458 Lott and 4or5 rounds. Course it would cost about the same, so he reloads 😆. CL
Excellent reloading work (as usual) Fotis. Those 99's just handle so well. Be hard not to enjoy hunting with one. Cant get the nice groups out of my friends 99, but still so much fun to shoot! Enjoy!CL
Me too. I support my local firearms safety instructors. They have a more positive and immediate affect on the future shooting sports participants. You do more good giving your money and time to the local high school trap team IMHO. CL
So if this round is running about the same speeds as current offered rounds, is there cause for concern about bullet performance. a 100gr BT dosent care if it comes out of a steel case if the MV is 3100 fps, seems like a 25-05 to me? Maybe not....? Dosent matter, I wont be buying a bunch of...
You could add the 250 Savage to the list of cartriges that work with 4350. Although, I'vre been stuck w/ IMR 4350 for years because I havent been able to find H4350 for years. I assume that makes a difference, not sure how much. Some one here will venture an opinion. CL
I'm all for fixed powers. Dads K-4 has ridden on top of his 7 Mag for 60 years. Dont shoot it enough or well enough to know that iti dosent hold zero. My 2 in groups arent much of an indicator though. The k-4 on Mom's rifle is about the same. I have a 4x Bushnell on my .22. Havent adjusted...
My shoulders are shot. 55+ years pushing a wheelchair and walking on crutches will do that to ya. My tears are in-operable on the back side of the scapula (supra spinatus and infraspinatus) so not necessarily your situation. Recoil will definitely give me more pain. Biggeest affect I see...
Back fire on youtube- One mans opinions - Pro's and cons. Based on this , biggest advantage espoused is the shorter barrel and equivilent velocity to a longer barrel. If you can afford to run a suppressor, I guess there's an up side. Not one I need, but that dont make it bad.
Mr. Von...
Please understand I wasnt questioning the efficacy of the Accubond. From all I've heard here they work, (and I happen to like biscuits and gravy). Just grousing they were a bit pricey I guess. My 250 Savage will never drive them fast enough to make them worth the investment IMHO. Use and...
Very nice recount of your hunt Guy. Gotta like them blue tips and the 25-06. Gotta be a sentimental favorite. It has served you well for many years. CL
Have said it here recently, If Cerakote had been as common 25 years ago my old 250 might have received a "Gun metal Grray" paint job to go in its walnut stock. Had her blued instead. Yours is a HANDSOME rifle! Continue to enjoy..... CL
Gotta go back and look it up some time, but I believe Jack O'Connor wrote that his go to sheep rifle was a 25-20 or some other "small" lever action. I know for sure it wasnt a 270. Portability and accuracy trumped power. Hmm....... CL
This post should go under the heading of "when things dont go like they plan..." and be referenced any time some one says my BT blew up etc.... My point is, sometimes weird things happen to bullets inside stuff, no matter who makes 'em. Good on you for trusting your first shot and following...
