Yeah, yeah, yuk it up. It's kind of a funny story. Brother and I are going bear hunting in a couple of weeks and so the Good Idea Fairy landed on me and I messaged him suggesting we both bring the same rifle, int he same chambering, using the same ammo, so if one of our rifles goes down, we...

Annnnnnd.... It turned out to be a Savage in 300 Win Mag. Because of course it did.:rolleyes: Still want one of those 454 lever guns, though :(

Heh - most people think this is a reloading forum; the real secret is it's all about the food! Love this!

I have done this before, and it was very effective. Thank you for mentioning water - you NEED to remain fully hydrated and if you are eating increased protein, you need the additional water for digestion. Congratulations! You've done very well, and I encourage you to keep it up.

I got out before we switched to the 17/18(320), so I have no real-world experience. My opinion is that they look incredibly ugly, but I don't think that answers your question. I also like to avoid dropping guns, but have done so on many occasions both at work, and concealed carry, an you are...

Thanks! That was back in 22, but on of the things I don't mind is chewing over old stuff - in this forum, anyway. People here are by and large great, and I really mean that. I have not seen the 220HC for sale in quite some time, and I don't see them on Speers site, either, so I think it's a...

UPDATE - Okay, so I replaced the new ejector with the original ejector and that remedied the issue. The new part must have had some sort of bur or other deformity which prevented the pawl from properly engaging the surface of the ejector. It was a simple fix which taught me some things about...

First time hunting rabbit as a teen with a 22 pistol. Didn't kill anything, but I still remember the time.

Sorry, are you planning on recovering to use in another project? Because to me, the safest way if you are NOT, is to discharge them in a firearm pointed in a same direction. If you ARE, then I don't think oil would be advised. Of course, when I was a kid, we'd stick the case on the end of a...

Ah, well, technically, you would not be buying "a" gun, but two guns; one in 30-06 and one in 338-06. ;)

Do all dimes you weight weigh the same? Do you have a selection of different years? If you have a variety of dates and they all weigh the same, and the difference is all the same from the other scale, then the most likely answer is that the balance scale is providing an erroneous measurement...

If you want to check a scale, please use a calibrated weight. You can get them from places like Grainger, and they are made for this purpose. I only harp on this because on this forum, we deal in things that go bang, and (hopefully not) boom.

All, I've run into a problem with an LCR-x - on one chamber, the trigger will stick to the rear - I suppose technically, it's the notch opposite that chamber. I can cause it to pop forward by just pressing lightly on in, or by putting torque on the cylinder. I noticed that if I put a little...

Maybe it doesn't get love because it's ubiquitous? So common and casually effective that it isn't going to get hype? Don't have an answer, but I know it works very, very well.

So I'm clear, you have the Bear Hunter - with the longer barrel? Mine is closer to the Brush Hunter, with a 20 inch tube (though mine is sans magazine and doesn't have a threaded barrel). My Hornady manual uses a 20 inch barrel, and my Lyman uses a 24. It will be interesting to see your...

I have an older Savage in 375 Ruger which does not have a detachable magazine, making it a 2+1 proposition. I don't particularly find that to be much of a limitation, but the idea of a magazine sure is appealing. All that aside, what I continue to find most remarkable about it is how...

Man, I just saw a video on here that proved the 300 WM was an over powered cartridge and too expensive to shoot. And that after two rounds from the bench, you will say "ouch". :sneaky: Sorry, couldn't resist.

I thought this was put out by a gun mag writer. :rolleyes:

Have also been attacked by coyotes when I was just a cub, and had a friend treed by a pack of them when he was a young teen. I expect that as with most predators, they will be more likely to target humans if they perceive a good chance of success - smaller individuals or youths, or if they have...

Congrats! Amazing shot on a great looking bear.
