    Do you recall your firsts?

    First shot: Rimfire- Rem Mod 41 Target Master Shotgun- Rem Mod 10 12ga Centerfire- Mod 98 8x57 bring back Pistol- Really can't remember. They were frowned on by my mother. Sad story concerning her brother.

    Influences

    Well written history of your journey. Most of my exposure to hunting and especially shooting was from reading and a couple guys who showed me enough to perk my interest. My father took me hunting just to get me started as he didn't care for it too much. Most likely due to the memories of his WW2...

    H870 data

    Never used it in a 264 Win Mag but did in a 25-06 with 115gr Nosler Pt. Know couple of shooters that used it in their 7mmRM. Slow and dirty but got good groups with it. Hope someone has the data. I'll see if I can find some info.

    Brass can make a difference in precision

    Years ago, Federal in the red and white box was good brass. Anymore the primer pocket loosens up after a couple firings. Have seen this in different calibers. Sometimes it is just getting a bad lot of the more common brands. Do agree that Lapua and Norma are worth the price.

    The allure of the Marlin in 35

    35 Rem is hard to beat for a woods caliber. I was a late user of it but do like it now. Try Hodgdon LVR sometime. It does real well in the 35Rem.

    Forgive me, Father

    That's a nice looking hi power. Never owned one,yet, but have shot them. Know a vet who carried one in Vietnam while in Special Forces. He said it didn't let him down.

    What did you use to kill your first deer?

    December 1980 antlerless season in Hardy County about 5 hour drive from home. Our area had no such seasons on does at the time and buck season was as usual a bust so four of us headed north with our permits. Afternoon of the second day walking out a logging road in the national forest I jumped a...

    Powder Valley Fire

    I really am sorry to hear this. They have been one of most reasonable online places to buy powder. Wishing them the best in recovery and rebuild.

    Help me decide on a new rifle caliber

    If you have your elk hunt covered and IF you will primarily use for deer than just get something more for that critter. Case in point. Last year a nephew went to CO totting his 28 Nosler, got a descent 5x5. He had used it here in WV on deer at a farm where shots can be 400-500 yds. Yeah places...

    30-06 QL Help Please and any help from the stands would be great too.

    All good powders listed. I have a load using Ramshot Big Game with a 165gr bullet that groups well in my Rem 700 30-06.

    Universal reloading manual

    Yeah, Hodgdon has done this started back couple annuals ago with the 6.x55 and others. Just an example of print verses online. Still like having a book to read and look at.

    So Glad That I Tried Different Rifle Cartridges & Loads!

    Guy, I appreciate your insight and wisdom as well as others who share their experiences. Like you I have had fun and been able to gain some knowledge along the way by trying different calibers and guns. As a young man starting my railroad career, I was cut off some and therefore didn't have much...
