Agree Charlie, I would use a caliber that would work when things go wrong.

Rest in Peace Terry and prayers/thoughts to the family.

Elman, it sounds like you're going heavy on the cream. (Definitely does do something to the taste though). I'm lucky enough in Florida to have a clam industry both wild and farm raised so that I can partake in Clam chowder. I don't think though that anything tastes as good as cold water clams.

As Guy has said watch your velocity. That's mighty fast for a B-Tip. With careful handloading you should be able to push that weight bullet well over 3200FPS. I'm getting close to 3100 with a 180 grain bullet and RL17. I have read a number of articles on the .300WSM and that was my reason for...

Truck driver is on the money. Make sure all your cases are trimmed to the same length. Size first, find your longest case and trim it to the proper length. Then follow with the other cases. Crimping and neck tension will be the same.

Louisiana is a Duck hunter's paradise. Having said that the Atchafalaya swamp is great for deer and hogs but make sure you have your waders handy. Gators are common and a stop in one of the local sporting goods stores will push you in the right direction. Lots of friendly people.

Vince, very nice knife. I use A Damascus made by Sean Ohare. I keep "very" close tabs on it and it holds an edge second to none.

Had an incident in Colorado about 10 years ago while hunting out in the middle of nowhere land. We all run into situations where we need to use our heads and this was one of them. I was about 4 miles from the nearest road and it started to snow. I continued walking for a while and the snow...

Weight loss is just a little less than 50 percent. Scotty, at what distance was the shot? I whacked a cow Elk at 55 yards with my .338 Ultra mag using a 225 grain Sierra Pro hunter at 2980FPS and was able to retrieve the bullet after it went through over two feet of Elk. Retained weight was 184...

Thanks for the words Guy. I'm now 70, my hunting Buddy is 74. We don't move as fast as we used to but in moving slower you see more game. When we do get game we are on the phone and asking one another for help. Works every time. Been hunting now for 54 years and still can't get enough of it. My...

Fotis, I spent a little extra money and purchased a Randall with a 4 inch blade. They have a lot of models and excellent steel.

I remember the incident at our range with a muzzleloader. The shooter was doing quite well and cleaning the barrel after each shot. The last time he cleaned the barrel he reloaded and left the ramrod in. When he touched it off the barrel didn't split and the ramrod ended up pretty close to the...

Scotty, when I was involved in my club's schutzen matches I used a Pedersoli sharps 45-70 with 405 grain cast bullets and IMR4198. Velocity was roughly 1100FPS and there was quite an arc to the bullet at 200 yards. I used a flip up tang peep and a hooded front sight. Groups averaged 2-3 inches...

I think Holder realizes that if the Repubs take the senate in Nov he is going to be in very deep doo doo. It will be very interesting to see where he disappears, oops I mean where he moves to. He did, without a doubt run the most partisan justice department ever.

congrats on the bull. There's going to be some fine table fare for you.

Welcome to the forum. We have a great bunch of guys and ladies that will drive you, no sorry, will sit down with you and have a drink. :grin:

Charlie, I echo your sentiments. I had two good hunting buddies. One passed on, I've been hunting with my second buddy for 42 years. Many many great times.

The snow looks fantastic. Elk hunting Colorado in roughly a month. Snow on the ground is a godsend when hunting but out west you have to be careful what you wish for. (how about 13 inches in 4 hours.)

The nice thing about Semi autos and pumps is that you can change barrels. I use a Beretta Semi Auto for Ducks/geese and a Ithaca model 37 for all my upland Bird hunting. I also have a slug barrel for the Pump. The nice thing about the Ithaca is that it doesn't make any difference whether you are...

Songdog, You're telling me that based on experience it's not an unethical shot even in the results are less than desirable is perfectly OK? Sorry, that's the reason long range shooting on a live animal is a problem in my mind. I've seen many "experienced" people on my club's six hundred range...
