    Flying with Rifle and ammunition

    Typically it just goes in a checked back and in an original Ammunition carrier-the box it came in or a plastic ammo holder that is taped shut. But each airline does have their own rules and the girl at the check in counter may not be familiar with them! Always check ahead of time and I would...

    Favorite Loads for the 7-08 Remington

    Had reason to look this load up today-my daughters win m70 featherlite with 120 Barnes ttsx. Uses bl-c2 and nickel plated cases. My rem 700 really likes bl-c2 with 100 gr Sierra hp bullets- a marvelous varmint load in that rifle

    Which cartridge do you like so much, you have multiple firearms for it?

    Multiple firearms in the same caliber=I keep multiples of 7mm-08 and .30-06. Partly since I share with my kids and some I use as loaners in case someone needs to borrow a rifle. For example have a youth model marlin 7mm-08 that my kids all Started with and quickly grew out of-and the girls...

    Favorite Loads for the 7-08 Remington

    I’ll do a report later this summer. Taking one of my little 7’s to Africa and shooting 150 ablr over rl-17 which it loves. We will see how it works in South Africa. Interested to see what hers can do!

    Need help with an experiment

    All you need to know is if you can hit the damn dime at 100 yards with your loads every time. If not, then you have some tweeking to do-

    Africa 2.0

    Horns are 36” and a Kafue lechwe-just fueling the fire! I’ve never use nf bullets but not for any special reason-this is from one of their advertising posts. No doubt any quality bullet would have been just fine at this distance

    Favourite 308-Based Cartridge?

    7mm-08. Have never seen many of the other mentioned calibers available-also have never been looking for them. In my household we’ve had excellent success with the little 7

    Franchi Affinity 3 20ga

    Does this model have an adjustable butt so it can be shortened for a youth? I have a daughter that could use it but she is built small. I’ve been considering the affinity compact version foe her . . . ?

    My shoulder feels like that is what just happened 😂

    Bear with me- Duck hunting isn’t about killing ducks. Duck hunting is about convincing educated birds to commit to your calls and decoys. The goal is to completely fool the birds to “own them .” I don’t see turkey hunting as much different. Your calls, your decoys and owning a boss gobbler...

    IMR 7828 in 300 Win Mag

    Have been looking through my notes and it looks like IMR 7828 was never the best performer-in my rifle or several others I loaded for. Sorry. IMR 4350 and rl-22 seem to be the favorites. I know you didn’t ask about them. Rl-22 with the 180 A frame and original tbbc. Quit shooting off the...

    Bucket List - What’s your three?

    1. I generally don’t even dream this big but. . . I would like a side by side dangerous game rifle. Something .404 ish, not so big I can’t handle it well. 2. Caesar Guerini o/u in 16 ga. A word of warning about those beretta 20’s. They break at the wrist in the chukar world and beretta will...

    Small Town

    We moved to a small town 17 I think years ago. Since then they added a high school, then two jr. high schools and one stop light and need another one. Added a grocery store and last summer McDonald’s and little Caesar’s found us. The population has doubled. There used to be big green fields...

    What do you do with your turkey?

    I had all my duck and goose meat in the freezer. A buddy thin sliced it and made it into jerky on his smoker. It is excellent. I would think turkey would be even better! I need to try that option

    Hunting optics, What do you use?

    I do own a pair of Swarovski slc 10x40 but they came later in life after suffering with garbage for much too long. I also have a couple Swarovski 3.5x18x44 scopes on rifles I use for longer range shooting. Love them! But I realized at some point that leupold was most likely my price point...

    Too Early??? 2025 hunt plans

    Utah followed Wyo. in raising prices for non residents and I agree with the policy. It is one way to limit the number of applicants and retain tags for residents and puts more money back into conservation projects, studies etc. im sure there’s more to it but avoid politics with lusty passion...
