I went rambling to some local gun shops and one had the Traditions Vortek camo pistol in the display case. I took a look at it and the owner said if I was interested he would make me a real deal on it. He said that some fellow had given him $100 two years ago to order it. When it came in the...

I have enjoyed deer hunting with a pistol for over 40 years at times. I started out with a WWII bring back Colt 1911A1 with 200 gr SWC pushed by 7 grs Unique. 50 yards and under self imposed shots to the rib cage, dead deer in shot order. I used a CVA Mountain Pistol 50 cal. to take a deer at 30...

I was in Bass Pro Shop in Bristol TN Monday morning. I noticed a group of 10+ people in front of the ammo section which was practically empty. I heard a store clerk say "you are only allowed 6 boxes of ammo no matter the mix of calibers." They had gotten in a shipment of some 380 ACP and 9mm...

I have been deer hunting for 50 years this season. It just goes to show you that an old dog can learn some new tricks. Last year my hunting situation changed dramatically. My old hunting buddy got too old with a bad heart to hunt anymore. He had the rights to the main body of land in NC we have...

Yesterday I decided to load some rounds for my 30x47. The case is made by running a 300 Savage case into a die that pushes the shoulder back about ten thousands of an inch but leaves it the same over all length. I got the rifle CHEAP from an estate sale about 20 years ago. The fellow had died...

Sometimes I can't walk from one room to the other and remember what I went into the room for. But one thing that I WILL REMEMBER is the local sporting goods and their jacked up prices. I went into the store yesterday mainly just to look around because it has been since March that I had been...

By that I meant a rifle that seems to shoot any load better than you can hold. A number of years ago I got in on an estate sale with some friends and we bought out all firearms and related items which turned out to be cheap for what we got. Fellow was a accuracy nut. Much of the firearms were...

In the winter/spring of 2017-18 I decided to purchase a complete 20" upper from Bear Creek Arsenal because it was cheep that I could swap out with a Bushmaster A2 223. Well I got what I paid for. It shot like a shotgun, patterns not groups. After playing email, which they never responded to, and...

I was in my local WalMart last week in the sporting goods. One of the fellows that I know pretty well that works there pointed out to me an inexpensive shotgun that I might be interested in. It was and H & R Partner. This is basically a Rem. 870 built in China. It was priced $148 and out the...

By that I mean a rifle that no matter what bullet or load you put through it, it will shoot lights out. I picked up a rifle about 10 years ago from an estate sale that the fellow that had died was a bench rest shooter and also had a bunch of wild cat caliber rifles and Contender pistol stuff. I...

I will be bow hunting this year in a new place that has lots of black bear activity. In this area last year a bear took possession of a deer a fellow shot with his bow and the fellow decided to let the bear have it because of it's aggressive behavior. There have been enough people tell me of...

I had a terrible deer hunting trip this year on my annual 3 1/2 week hunt to Halifax Co. NC. In 2 1/2 weeks I only saw one deer. Discovered that black tongue disease must have hit my hunting land. In the past 25 years you usually see many deer about every day and always when leaving the farm...

I got bit by the 6.5 Grendel bug in the AR-15 platform a few months ago. Plans are for using it as a deer hunting rig for mainly under 250 yards. I saw where I could get a 20" barrel complete upper that included everything shipped for about $350.00. It is a Bear Creek Arsenal brand. I got it...

I had a craving as Jerry Clower used say "flung on me" for a AR-15 upper in 6.5 Grendel and I could not shake it off. I found a new complete BCA upper with 20" fluted SS barrel with 15" M-lock free float tube for $339.99 . I have put it on my Bushmaster lower that has a 3lb CMC trigger in it and...

While on my annual hunting trip to east NC I ran into a deal. A fellow was getting a divorce and his wife was taking him to the cleaners so he was liquidating his assets into cash to keep something. I got a good deal on powder, bullets and primers, less than half price. There were two pounds of...

Does anybody have a Speer manual that list the 135 gr Gold Dot Short Barrel bullet for the 38 Special. I would like to have the MAX +P load with Unique powder. I will work up to this. There is so much deviation in the manuals and factory data. What the maker of Unique says is a MAX +P load for...

I went to the new Cabals in my area and shock faint and fall over it does exist. They had Varget, Bullseye and Unique powder. I bought some. :mrgreen:

I went to Halifax Co. NC on my yearly 3 week deer hunting trip. Usually I kill all the deer I need and for the needs of others. This year I only saw 3 deer. Between me and my hunting buddy we only saw 7 deer in three weeks. Usually you see that many a day. The EHD "Blue Tongue" has about wiped...

I put the last Saturday of the summer to good use. I spent most of it getting my camper ready to go on my annual 3 week deer hunting trip to east NC. Got the propane tank filled, washed and cleaned the whole inside of the camper including all the appliances. I hooked up the water to make sure...

That is what a few deer would say that I shot on my three week hunting trip to east NC. :mrgreen: I killed a big body buck with my 264 Win mag and the 130 Accubond. He was a 5 point with no brow tines, should have been a seven. He came out of the cut-over 75 yards from me and I popped him in...
