I have never even seen a 9.3x62 that I can remember so I can not commit on them. As for the Whelen I have used mine for over 40 years in Alaska as did my father before me. It has done the job every time so what more is needed? If I were to go to Africa for game where the Whelen is not legal I...

I see some sitesthat have primed brass for sale. Some of them have both primed and un-primed. The price difference is not much and with the cost of primers the primed brass is cheaper. That is what caused me to ask.

Is there any problem with getting primed brass shipped? I am in Alaska so it might be different for me than for some of you folks.

I was glad these guys stayed out of her roses last summer.

My wife is an animal lover and really does not like me to hunt. Last fall a moose got into her roses and she allowed as it would be ok if it were to end up in the freezer. Funny how things change.

This is easy for me. Hunting Kodiak for Blacktail out of a skiff with my dad. Cruising along the beach and saw a deer and after coming to a halt told dad to shoot it. Dad took a shot and smooth missed. I sat there stunned for a moment as I had never seen him miss an animal. I stood up and said...

I have not used a 44 to kill any animal so no help there. I have used a 7TCU on a bunch of Blacktail and that worked just fine. This past fall my BIL shot a 65 inch bull moose in the chest twice with a 357 158 jhp. He said the moose did not even flinch. It had been shot with a 300 mag and did...

I don't own a single action revolver Colt Python 4 inch LesBaer duty 45 acp HighStandard Trophy

Pretty sure that was a good time for both of you. time with the grand kids is special.

I just loved shooting peeps most of my life but now at age 69 and having had a torn retina in my shooting eye I need a scope. I just put a 1.75x5 Sitron on my whelen. So far I really like it but will have to se how well it holds up. I spent some time talking about this with the most famous bear...

I have been a 35Whelen fan for over 40 years and have found it to be plenty of gun for anything Alaska has to offer. That being said if I were to build another gun in this size range the 338-06 would be hard to beat. For me the selling point for the 338 is the far greater bullet selection. With...

For years I shot peeps on my Whelen but as my eyes aged I went to a four power Leopold. I kept thinking I wanted less so I just bought a 1.75-5 Sightron and am amazed how clear it is and how fast it comes up on target. It will be interesting to see how well this cheap scope holds up. Most of my...

Not the same thing but I used H4895 at %70 and a 130 grain bullet to turn a 30-06 into a very mild shooting gun.

I have one or more of all the major brands and feel like they all make good stuff today. So the dealer is what makes if I buy brand X or brand Y. Around here I feel the Suzuki dealer is the best so that is what is on the boat I use most. My 200hp is about six years old and has been flawless. I...

While I like having a lot of each guns pet load done and ready to go there is a down side to it. If there is a new wonder bullet that you want to try and it works now you have a bunch of loads you might no longer use.

Good trick I will give it a try.

I just picked up an Arken 7x35x56 Gen2 34mm and am wondering about mounts. What height and brand would you guys use? Will be going on a 25-06 used mostly at the range.

It only makes sense to have a gun built if you really want something special. The new guns are have to beat.

This going to be a 223 with a varmint barrel. I want something with almost no recoil so the women and kids can tag steel at 500 on calm days. Will be 7-8 twist so it can shoot heavies.

Yep my smith said good buy on the action. Best part is now I get to have what I want in the gun. No having to settle for close enough.
