Very antiseptic! :D:D:D May many accurate rounds roll out of your new set-up. (y)

I had a free, guided mountain lion hunt in Utah available to me. I asked several guys to join me for the adventure, and I offered to pick up the entire tab, including the air fare. Believe it or not, I had no takers. The offer had a limited timeframe, and it passed by. What a shame. If that...

Many of my hunting and shooting buddies have either "aged out" or have passed on. While I still shoot every week, I don't have my friends to enjoy the time with. I've also cut back on my hunting adventures because I've got to book things by myself and it just isn't the same. I always enjoyed the...

Reloading manuals and on-line data sounces often vary a lot. So, a load that's acceptable in one location might be over the top in another. It's always helpful to review multiple sources as you work up loads. Some of the brass available today tends to mask pressure. It's not all that hard to...

Go with something different. How about a 6.5-7PRC in a shortened bbl?

My custom rifle in 280AI wore a 8.7" twist Bartlein. It shot very well with 175 Berger EH bullets and 180 VLDs. However, now that I'm rebarreling it, I decided to go with an 8 twist to play it safe with the heavy bullets, including a few heavy monos.

While the new Gen 6 should be out soon, I'm not sure that all previous models are being discontinued. Yesterday, my dealer just got in a shipment of Gen 4 and Gen 5 pistols.

I wish Glen Seekins would start building rifles for us lefties! :D

The same question was recently posted on another site. The general consensus was that the X dies works exactly as advertised once you get them set up correctly.

Maine produces some bucks with incredible mass. You've managed to tag a few of them. Congratulations.

I shot most of my bull moose with a 338RUM and a 250 Accubond. Terminal performance was always excellent. Most bullets passed through on broadside shots. I'd expect a Barnes bullet to have less expansion but greater penetration. Velocities in my 26" bbl ran about 3,000fps.

I much prefer evening hunting, which is when I have taken most of my whitetails. However, when the bucks are actually chasing does, any time in the field is a good time. Even midday can be the perfect opportunity. Bucks are too preoccupied to use any of their natural instincts for survival.

Since my earlier post, I actually caught a Speer 400 JSP bullet in an animal. I shot a 300lb boar right behind the shoulder at 125yds. The bullet went through the thick shield on both sides of the boar and was caught in the hide on the off-side. The recovered bullet was 90 cal and retained...

I'd like to see Glen Seekins produce his new PH3 in left hand.

My limited use of the ABLR had a different outcome. The ABLR bullets shot from a 6.5 Creed caused a rather extreme exit wound on two deer shot at about 100yds. I've never seen that happen with a regular Accubond, which I've used extensively.

The swift 350 A-Frame is really a perfect 45-70 bullet even though it's a bit stout at 45-70 velocities IMO. The only downside to the Swift is its relative cost. I've got several boxes of Hornady 350RN laying around here. They will get the job done at a fraction of the cost. If I was intent on...

The concept behind the ABLR is good. But ........what we really need is a redesigned ABLR that is easier to tune. Maybe a hybrid ojive would do the trick.

Nothing quite like a northern whitetail. Congrats to all the successful hunters up there in Maine.

That sounds like a very rewarding hunt. Something that we all dream about. Congratulations.

Fortunately, my health insurance covers hearing aids, including some rather expensive models. However, I have noticed that hearing aids are getting much less expensive and are in financial reach of most anyone. Some are in the hundreds of dollars. I recently read that Medicare may soon cover...
