    New addition

    Nice, Shop space is an issue. For a long time my shop was a half basement where I had a double needle, a needle feed, a bar tacker and an Adler shoe patch machine as well as an 8 ft cutting table and fabric racks. Talk about putting away the pencil before I could get out a pen! The Adler had...

    Wolves need managed.

    The ones in WA state have been visiting from Canada for years, but since about 2008 decided to stay. WA does have quite a management plan with a group in charge that includes stakeholders from all facets. Pretty balanced in my opinion, but the past governor overrode some decisions. In...

    Wolves need managed.

    It's over the top if you see wolves with your cattle that you can't kill them. Cause they are not going to quit once they start eating calves. Here in Washington a rancher can stop an attack. We have plenty of wolves in the NE corner of the state and would love to share some with those on the...

    After responses on here ...I picked up Lee case length gauge for trimming the 30 kong and grabbed a 44 mag as well...

    I had lee make me a 25-284 gauge. It had a tiny bit too large a diameter to fit in sized cases easily. I put up with it for a few years then contacted them. Sent them a sized case and the gauge and they sent me a new one, no charge. Works good.

    44 mag bullet opinions please...

    Most accurate bullet I have tried is the 240 XTP. 296 powder. I haven't shot a deer with, but that would be the one I would try. Old ruger flattop with scope. My dad took several whitetail with it using a 240 grain hollowpoint cast bullet and 2400 powder.

    I Messed up on Ear Protection

    My dad was taught in Korea while training on artillery that you just get used to it. His only help was cigarette filters. He was frustrated by hearing aids later in life. My friend shoots with a brake. It is worst when under the roof of the range. Even double up hurts some. I wish suppressors...
