Whoops, maybe 30 years ago.

I own a Red Label in 20 gauge that's been my main snipe gun for many years. I turned it into a manual Safety firearm which has worked out well.

Agree completely Jim. My Doctor has forbidden me to scale the heights but my M700 in.338RUM 225 Grain either Partition or Pro Hunter would be first at hand.

First Deer was in 1962 in Maine. A Marlin Texan 336 wearing a 3X Weaver scope in .35 Caliber nailed a fat doe at roughly 60 yards.

Powder Valley just posted pictures of the damage and for all intents and purposes the destruction was total.

I tried Barnes when they first came out and the fouling was terrible. I've shot Sierra for many years and found fouling at a minimum. I've had very good luck with the old style bullets and am somewhat hesitant to get rid of what works.

With your .38 Super you're headspacing off the mouth. Enough crimp to straighten the mouth plus a bit extra to hold the bullet in place. A Lee factory crimp die would solve a lot of issues and hold the bullet in place real well.

I had just gotten my official detachment papers from the US Navy and was busy being married and co-raising two children. I worked for the Electrolux Vacum cleaner company as a quality control technician, didn't like my job and was busy contemplating becoming a Police officer, which, in the long...

I only decap and stay away from sizing prior to cleaning. My feeling is if you size a dirty case the possibility of scratching the die is present.

Living in Florida absolutely requires some type of Humidity protection. I use a golden rod and beads to keep everything dry in my safe. A wipe down once a month also helps things.

That sounds like me when I try my luck at skeet. Trap I have no problems with and I should quit while I'm ahead.

That reminds me of the operation I had on the 6th of May. Cardiologist tells me I have a 95 percent blockage in the right Carotid. OK I said what do we do. She says we remove the blockage. The surgeon tells me the operation is serious and what he's going to do to correct it. I have the surgery...

Guy, a good friend of mine (retired Deputy Sheriff) travelled to Texas to hunt Nilgai. He took his 06 and Nosler 180 grain partitions. The bullets worked perfectly and he brought home some excellent tasting meat. (I've had my fair share) I don't know the range the animal was taken but everything...

I had the same issue coming back from an Elk Hunt in New Mexico. I was given a box of 180 grain Sierra BTSP's from the guide that assisted us with the hunt. I went through the check in at the airport and watched as my carry on bag went through X-ray. The little mexican fellow looked, looked...

Over the years I've run the total gamut of Rifle Scopes. In the old days had very good luck with the Rectangular Eyepiece Redfields. Low power Weavers for my Woods Deer Rifles. I used a Nikon 1X4 on a Ruger Deerstalker carbine. Over the years I transitioned to Leupold with a 2.5X8 on my 7-08. A...

In Florida the Governor plus a lot of sheriffs stated that if you are travelling in your motor vehicle and come upon these people and they block you off and attempt physical harm you can step on the gas and run as many over as required to leave the scene. I noticed we had a group of about 50 in...

Never owned a .338 Win Mag but I have a cousin in Alaska who absolutely swears by his pre 64 in .338. He was one of the first group to ever get a Buffalo Tag and the .338 worked like a charm. My .338 Ultra mag is on the .404 Jeffrey case but the same bullets come out of the barrel and the...

I've shot one heck of a lot of Deer with the 7-08. The recoil is pleasant and it hits with a lot of authority. When Elk hunting in Colorado I've seen other hunters carrying a .243 and when I ask them if that's a good idea for Elk the answer I usually get is "I go for neck shots only" I just...

Back in 2003 I flew from Orlando to Albuquerque and was required by South West Airlines to place my ammunition in a separate check-in bag. Have things changed or does the same requirement have to be met.

I got a serious case of lead poisoning while serving as a range officer/combat firearms instructor on our brand new police range. I used a Hepa vacumn cleaner, and mask that was supposed to eliminate lead inhalation on a weekly basis for range clean up. The problem we had was that the Town in...
