Catherine received a letter from her interpreters today. She was imbedded with SF units operating out of Jalalabad primarily. For the fifth time in the last two years her guys have received a form letter from the State Department requesting basic information. The same information the State...

I really enjoy this Ruger #1. My only complaint is it just does not like to be pushed. I’ve gotten 180s up to 3100 but the groups open up to 1.5 or so and mild pressure signs. Above 2950 with a variety of powders and bullets I typically get a flyer out of five. At a sedate 2900 to 2940 or so...

Found this herd this afternoon about 1400. About 1/2 mile from the house. We tried to count but they are about 300 yards from the road. Best guess is there are about 60 elk. Guessing by color there were several bulls in the bunch but no glass in the truck. Snow line on south facing slopes is...

A few months ago I learned of an outfit called Upland Gun Company. They import Italian made side by sides and over unders starting at a little under 3K on the side by sides. I started investigating because I love good side sides but struggle with them as most are either neutral or have cast off...

Trying to figure out what this black and white wire is for. Does not appear to be hot! But I don't know for certain.

Been playing with my 300 HH #1 hoping to get consistent 1/2 moa with 180 accubonds. I got there with 68.5 gr of RL 19 but velocity was only 2880, hoping for a little more. The first group, 69 gr. Rl 19 came in at 2914 for five shots. Extreme spread of 11.6, std dev of 4. Also running the new...

Went out with the #1 300H&H today. I've tried several loads with Accubonds and just couldn't get them better than 1 1/4 groups. 68.5 Rl 19 / 2916 fps / 32 f/ 180 Accubonds /100 yards /two three shot groups slight sight adjustment; VX5 3.5x15 3.569 coal. 180 Accubonds on the lands at 3.671, so...

Stopped by my local gun shop today. They had found the hunter who had stuck this bull a couple of years ago. Reportedly got two arrows in him but after days of searching could not locate him. He knew he hit him back a little. Two years ago forest workers found the dead head. The LGS got him...

Catherine and I have decided to go full Snow Bird next year. Hey, what momma wants momma gets. Three to four months in Tucson. Any way I'll not be packing my loading equipment to Tucson but figured I'd bring a couple rifles and a couple shotguns and a sufficient supply of ammo to keep me busy...

Catherine ask friends we were visiting for some lemon, this one should do!

We decided to combine having to go to Boise for medical with a trip to Arizona. Drove the Great Basin highway yesterday. Don't think it would be fun in the summer, but incredible with cool temps. Saw deer, elk, antelope and fantastic views. Maybe 10 cars all day. Highly recommend the drive.

We arrived Miami about midnight last night. Drove down to Marathon Key today. My boat envy is out of control. Tomorrow try for Tarpon.

Found these on the way home from town. Interstate 84 between Baker and LaGrande in the background.

Looking for information I have notes in my 338 Jarrett log book indicating 89 grains of H1000 pushing a 250 gr. Accubond “was a little hot” I don’t know where I came up with the idea to try that powder but I have a couple pounds of it. May have run a quick load a few years ago but I can‘t find...

We will be heading down there this winter for a while. Looking for any recommendations on guides/charters you all might have.

Just recieved a notice from Midsouth shooters Rl 17 is available. They don’t have as much as they did a little bit ago.

My view this morning

Took the girls and the Dickinson for a 4mile walk today. 25 degrees when we started out. Had a couple of Roosters flush well ahead of the dogs and one solid point. I got sloppy with my footwork and missed. Think I’m going to sell the gun. Almost back to the truck and Miss Sugar locked up on the...

One old man, two old dogs, one old shotgun, one hour, one shot, one rooster. Best way I know to walk the dogs in the morning.

I feel the need to up grade my old RCBS case trimmer. I’m finding that no matter how hard I try to be consistent I can end up with a fairly wide variable in case length. Wondering what you all use to get acceptable results.
