It isn't what I use today, but a bottle of Hoppes #9 sets on the shelf next to where I work on and clean my guns. The cap gets opened every now and then, just for that nostalgic smell.

We lose two to three yearly to this, mostly during the deer gun season.

I started hunting with a model 325 in 30-30 when I turned twelve. I got the 325 because they were cheaper than a Winchester model 94, which cost $45.

Yes it is here. Spent time this last week hunting turkeys. So far it stands at turkeys 2 and Gary 0.

The favorites that I currently own are Ruger #1s. The favorites that I don't own yet are Winchester model 71s and 64s.

You didn't say at what ranges your friends are taking game. That could impact their blood trails. The 6.5 Creedmoor is inherently an accurate cartridge and many are using it for long range target shooting, but like all cartridges used to harvest game, each has its limitations. There is more than...

My 280 700 Remington Mountain Rifle shoots a ragged one hole group with 140 gr Sierra Game Kings and a stiff load of IMR-4350. Groups do open up as I try to increase bullet weight. If your Mountain Rifle is the same model as mine, you may see your groups open up with 175 grain. I believe, it's...

Smith model 41, .22 LR for target Browning Nomad, .22 LR for small game and trapping Browning Hi-Power, 9mm for target and plinking Smith model 657-3, .41 Mag for larger game Kimber 1911 Ultra Carry II, .45ACP for a carry piece I have others, but these tend to be the favorites

My .44 bullets are limited to those made by Hornady and Speer. This is only because they were what was available locally when I picked up my Ruger 96/44. Unless I was having an issue there was no reason to introduce another into the mix.

Yes welcome! I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to share.

I've used Starline for some time and have not had any major issues. One bag of .17 Rem brass had spots on it , but cleaned up when I put it through the tumbler.

I have not tried the Spypoint. I'm running TACTACAM Reveal X 2.0. These are my first cellular cameras. Prior to that I used Moultrie and Browning.

120 .257 AB and BT 100 Count boxes, but if you want to throw in an extra 5 that is ok. 250 gr .429 that is designed for a rifle Bring back 338-06 A-Square brass or make a limited run once or twice a year

Before I turned my 722 Remington .257 Roberts into a .257 Ackley Improved. This load was a three shot group with 100 grain NBT, 43.5 grains of IMR-4350, Federal 210M primers, and JBA brass. The load was never shot through a chronograph.

Finding a person that knows what they're doing and getting the proper fit is so important to shooting, regardless if it is hunting, skeet, trap, or sporting clays. I was glad to see that you've went through the process of getting it fitted. I have two shotguns that are fitted for shooting skeet...

I own 6 lever actions and it would be hard to part with any of them, but my 45-70 is the current favorite. This is subject to change, if I ever acquire that Winchester model 71 in .348. Winchester model 1873 in 38-40 (given to me by an uncle) Browning model 1895 in 30-06 Marlin model 336 in...

My 7mm Remington Magnum has been used to take deer, elk, and bear, so it has to rank as a favorite. That said, I also have a soft spot for the 300 Winchester Magnum. Back in 1965 I went into our local hardware store that sold Remington and Winchester rifles. My intent was to purchase a...

The .348 Winchester. It has been used to parent several other cartridges.
