I would love to see the woods back in production. As always, emotionally triggered responses which shut the logging down has overcompensated to the point that now our forests are being managed by fire rather than logging. A waste frankly.
Logging is no different than farming, it just takes...
Impressive to say the least. Those Ramshot powders have turned out well for me too, especially Enforcer which I use chiefly in my .357’s and .25-20!
Depending on who you ask, the original blackpowder .45 Colt ammo brought a 255 grain cast lead bullet 950-1000 fps in the Colt SAAs with a 7.5”...
Call me crazy but I have always preferred the day/month/year system of dating to the month/day/year method.
Happy .308 day! Like Guy, mine will probably get an affectionate pat or two.
Am anxiously awaiting for June 30th personally. Or should I say 30/06 day!!
I wouldn’t say dead at all. Definitely not getting the limelight that it was 20 years ago but far from dead. Lots of ammo on the shelves hereabouts. I know of several of them (rifles that is) locally.
Of the WSM lineup, it is far and away the most popular and with good reason. Now the 7mm WSM...
As Bob Dylan put it, the times they are a changin’.
When I was a kid, the ranchers bought us .22 cartridges by the brick and were grateful to have us come shoot ground squirrels. These days they charge $250-300 per shooter, per day to come shoot the ground squirrels and the city dudes gladly...
It’s on my bucket list. A buddy hunted Hawaii (not sure which island but thinking Oahu or Maui) on vacation. I believe he only had to pay $250 for permission to hunt private. He took an Axis buck and his brother in law took some kind of goat. Lots of steep hills to climb.
He took a Ruger...

I generally start with the bullet manufacturer’s recommended COAL in the loading manual. Typically this is a winning combo right out of the blocks. In fact with hunting rifles (versus match/target rifles) it will shoot <1.5 MOA with the book COAL (cartridge over all length) leaving me to only...
A lot of quality work that you put in! Nice job. Easily the nicest looking Remington 783 that I have ever beheld.
And it’s really hard not to love a .308!
I am not retired, but have been accused of being retarded more than once. With friends like mine…you know the rest. 😂
I am awake at 5am every morning whether its a workday or not. Early to bed, early to rise and all that.
If our baby girl lets me, and I remember to put on my CPAP, I sleep...
