Wonder how many Moose have fallen to a .303 or a 30-40 Krag? There was a time those rifles were behind many a kitchen door.... CL

That to me is the definition of eminently capable. To many people expect a TV show "bang flop" when they take a rifle hunting. A .257 cal. 117 bullet at those velocities will get the job done if you hunt close enough and follow up. And the best part....its just fun to shoot! CL

Junkie- not trying high jack your thread- I'm guessing you are right - probably was a 25-35. You certainly have a cool rifle there. The idea of an "intermediate" caliber seems to have been lost for many years. The .22 Hornet for example. Capable and easier to shoot and for the time...

Interesting - this past week I helped with a "public sight in" at the club. One of the members of the club assisted a young man to get started shooting his great grandfathers rifle. I believe it was in 25-20, (but it may have been 25-35). In any event an old Win. (94 or 86- I didnt see close...

Nice Buck and rifle! 110AB's gotta be a great choice for for the "Bob" if you have an Elk tag. I've got some old 100gr PT's that might work well to. You've had experience with the 250 so you know how the 100gr BT's work. Keep us apprised. CL

Absolutely, I eat way too many versions of cold cuts...(daily sandwiches). If I retire that will be rule #1. no more sandwiches for lunch! But, that preparation might change my mind. What a neat idea! CL

Integrity stings a little bit dont it? Yikes... good on you Dan. Hopefully the kids also got a good lesson/ example from your follow through. CL

Boy that there is a classic rifle. As has been noted that should be great, quick handling rifle. The Luey is a perfect choice. Do you have plans for the Redfield? CL

This just plain has me PO'd. That sort of price inflation will ruin there own market. They can kick me off the board if they want. Who can afford that- or afford to practice. At half that price you'll never get the kids started on the sport. Yes I know .22 is cheaper etc. Not the point...

Nosler Trophy Grade .300 Winchester Magnum 200 Gr, 20 Rounds Original Price $119.99 Sale Price $92.99 Per Round $4.65

Those are some fine looking Bucks! Officially jealous of the time spent with your daughter! You did better than me, on that front too! CL

Glad you are OK. Had to add a Boyds stock to my Magnum to make it feel like a rifle, but those Rugers are pretty to boot. Good luck w/ the sales. CL

Hey Fotis - that is a handsome buck! Great shot w/ a classic .25. I'll bet there wasnt a whole lot of "holdover" at that velocity! Hope you had a great time! CL

JD - Wish I could help you out. Have always liked those Ruger @@ bolt guns. Always felt like a "real rifle". Hope everything is OK...CL

Sounds like a good day afield. Dog, pretty country, and a favorite gun. Thats a win even w/o the birds. Glad you could get out! CL

Yup- gets interesting dont it? :) CL

Back when rifles were still affordable and 30-30 was $16.00 a box and could be found at the Cenex, I couldnt talk myself into one. Sounds like a good "back door" or truck gun. Could be fun. Had a buddy with a contender in 30-30 that could out shoot my rifle at 100yds. A friend just picked up...

Thanks all. That CFE is wierd stuff, at least not at all like 4350 and 4064. Stuff looks like pixie dust and as slippery as quick silver. Not having a powder measure, the old spoon and scale make measuring a challenge. Not a problem per se, but takes a little different technique. CL

Twice fired, third reload. CL

I assumed this was what was happening. Cases chamber fine. will run with it. CL
