^^ This. Sure, maybe you could get 3k, or close to it, but would you really want to?

I tried the Idaho drawing one and all I got was a stick figure ;) Congrats! Yes, beef is expensive, elk is tasty, and you get to go hunting. Now I also want to be retired.

That's an additional 2 or 3 pounds you'll need to carry around, don't forget. Is there a particular reason you don't want the comp?

I've handled quite a few lever guns, but I'd rather stay away from suggesting brands and stick to cartridges, if I may. I don't think you could go wrong with any center fire rifle rounds, frankly, so if you like the idea of a 30-30, get one. I've personally known people who never hunted with...

Wish I could help on this, since it's a really intriguing problem, but the only thing I can think of is a difference in case volume causing a difference in pressure. But, if these are all once fired, that shouldn't be happening with such predictability between lots.

If only I live to learn such strength and grace.

I had to look that one up and it looks pretty interesting. I think that would make a fantastic trail gun, or as the name implies on the night stand. Not sure I would use it for concealed carry on account of the exposed hammer, but that's not an automatic problem. When the review is published...

I should try that. The leaving the bolt at home bit, I mean. I'd be much happier with my marksmanship and save a lot on ammo. :)

I've heard that the last UK game was played to a packed stadium. I suspect a lot of that is the novelty of it, but the NFL is making a concerted effort to expand into other markets.

Veni, vidi, ursos meos occidi At least, I think that's how it goes.

Still undefeated champions in world wars, super bowl championships, and manned moon landings. It's because we don't use the metric system for any of them. ;)

A lot of good points made by a lot of experienced shooters. If I may, I would like to add that - kill, stop, and drop - are all a bit different when it comes to hunting. Knowing your game, your firearm, your ammunition (especially the bullet), and the environment are all important, in my...

There's some magic in that story. Good for you.

One day I'll be retired. I tell myself.

That is quite the drive from Anchorage. :)

Sounds like you have it well in hand, but in case the 350 falls through I would also like to add the 223 to the list - with the caveat that I don't know if that is legal for hunting in your area. Very little recoil - though they can be loud - and available with a range of bullet options. The...

I don't know the 336 and I don't have as much experience loading as many on here, but I would ask a few things: - Have you visually inspected the new loads compared to known good old loads? You may notice dimensional or other differences which can clue you in as to the problem. - Have you tried...

Love it. And, yes, the bear hunt sounds good too.

I've done limited work with laser training and nothing applicable to your situation. In my opinion, dry fire is the most cost effective way to practice both for shooting and for many failure drills. But, please, dry fire or laser, if you are using a real firearm -- make sure it's unloaded.

Did it need to start life as a metric? Because, if so, then my 6.5x55, but if not... well, probably still that, but I do have a soft spot for the 7.62x51r. And all those Russian 7.62s are fun too. As long as I'm on the correct end of them.
