I can understand him wanting her to learn to shoot a larger caliber. The .243 at its best is very light for Elk hunting. And as distance to the animal increases the .243 becomes less effective. While hunting for Elk in Colorado I've seen and talked to hunters who carry a .243 for Elk hunting...
I'm reading all the comments on Scope power and it made me realize that I made the right choice with my Model 700 .338RUM. I have a Zeiss 1X6 with Warne Mounts that's been on it since day one and taken a good number of Elk with it out to just over 300 yards (326 yards to exact) At 6 power Elk...
Good luck on the Antelope Jim. My buddy has been trying to draw a private land Antelope for four years with no luck. He's told that the herd is down. He buys points and that's a plus for Fish and Game.
Reminds me of my incident a number of years ago when I was doing my early morning walk through the neighborhood. Had a neighbor who rehabilitated dogs and was presently working with a pit bull who had been rescued from Louisiana during Hurricane Katrina. It seems the dog was a guard dog working...
I went through my course three weeks ago and even though I was the 2nd oldest out of 28 shooters I aced the target and tied with two other shooters. (The instructor laughed and congratulated me). Practice definitely pays off.
I had four stents placed after my heart attack in July 2020. The Doctor asked me how I felt and I had to say I Hadn't felt this good in a long time. It's amazing the feeling after circulation is improved.
When I did a lot of IDPA shooting I used a considerable amount of titegroup in my .45. I switched over to 9MM and continued using the titegroup. Other than burning dirty I had no complaints. When Win 244 came out I tried that and stayed with it. It burns a heck of a lot cleaner.
Deer in Alabama this season. A good friend with almost 800 acres made this possible. I wish Elk was still possible but Elevation according to my Doc is a no no. Ducks in Florida. (good hunting) Too damn cold for Deer in Maine:rolleyes: (The Doc told me I've been living in Florida too long)
Midway sells the reloader that you are looking for. I purchased one for about $30.00 and their worth every penny (especially in cold weather) At 79 years my fingers don't work quite as well as they used to and the last 5 rounds are a PITA. This unit will solve that problem completely.
I have just read where Ukraine has received a very substantial order of small arms ammunition along with the bigger rounds. I'm figuring this is where all of our components are heading to. We are on the tail end of receiving anything left over and it does not look good.
There are a lot of Citrus trees growing in my area of Florida and many different types of lemons/limes are available. I can't quite remember the name of that lemon but there is a house down the street from me that has a tree just full of those. My next door neighbor has lemons, limes, and key...
I live about 20 minutes from an Academy. Their prices are very fair for everything they sell which includes primers and bullets, firearms and other gear.
This past Tuesday the CDC came out with additional information on the Covid 19 shot, none of it any good. Their statement was that the side effects from the shot were worse than originally thought. A lot of people are still suffering from after effects of the shot and the (new) shots are still...
