Also a .223 Remington single shot survival rifle. 😁

I just realized there was one time I had consumed a starling. Despite the appearance of the bird, it was very tasty.

Interesting! Chicken of the tree is certainly a favorite of many. What was your experience like with the groundhog?

Moose and elk are classic favorites. What specific kind of sheep are you referring to?

I keep hearing about zebra being excellent. Will have to try it someday.

Post about your favorite animal to eat here. Why? What do you like about it? How does it taste? Is it lean or fatty? My personal favorite is dove. I have yet to find anything that tastes better than dove meat. Roasted with the skin on. There isn't much fat, but there is some if a bird has eaten...

Questions that come up are: reloadability, how clean does it burn, barrel life, and if the extreme velocities will cause copper bullets to pencil through animals without expanding.

My budget will determine how many of these I am able to acquire this year. Likely one or two, but I'd like to expand my collection with the following: 1. .17 HMR bolt action to replace my 22lr. 2. 6.8 Western, 7 inch twist factory Browning rifle. 3. A compact and threaded factory 7mm...

Love Baikals. I use my 12 gauge O/U for EVERYTHING!

8x57 IS. Like it just because of the nostalgia and because it's a classic cartridge however I really do think it has great potential if handloaded to its abilities. I own five rifles chambered for it. 3 K98's, 1 Gewehr 98, and 1 Turkish Mauser.

Looks great. Good to hear the update. I know a few of us here at the forum hadn't heard from you in a while. Nice hogs and deer. I personally have been curious about hunting hogs during the summer in Oklahoma on public land and what that would be like with the heat, insects, snakes, and other...

Got my first deer ever. Late antlerless season. Used the 358 Norma Mag because it's close quarters public land bordering private land and I don't want to have to track blood trails onto private land so need something that will drop the deer on the spot which the 358 Norma did perfectly.

Due to health reasons, it is difficult for me to wake up prior to 4 AM which means I can't always drive out far in the mornings and arrive on time to get setup on my trail in the dark. I have had to improvise on recent hunts and have been forced to setup farther away from my ideal spot as...

Indeed. Outdoorsmen, reloaders, and industrial workers need to take this all very seriously. The noises produced by modern equipment are well above anything the human ear was designed to handle especially with regularity. I hope I started protecting my hearing at an early stage. Before hearing...

As a kid I would occasionally shoot 12 gauge and 22lr in open fields without hearing protection. Never any rifles without hearing protection. Those have always been with earmuffs at the range. This season I did shoot my .410 a few times without hearing protection. It wasn't too bad, sounds like...

No dog. I tracked two roosters until they both hid in some bushes nearby. One crawled away, I crept up on this one and it was forced to flush.

Were you using used brass and did you anneal the necks?

Makes sense. That groove inside the neck was probably messing with the flow of gasses.

Opening day rooster.

Did you switch up the powders and charge weights after seating deep?
