That was the pattern my wife picked out. My wife and the lady that does the Hydro Graphics were really good friends and worked together at the Care Center for many years. All I had to do with the decision on the pattern was pay the $50.00 to have it done. It is kind of ironic in that after my...

I think only you can answer that question as it largely depends on what you consider good enough. The last .243 I had was an old Ruger KM77RP MKII with a 1 in 10" Twist Barrel. With it's preferred load of H-4350 it would print 3 shot groups of the 95gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips so all were...

A local guy and his wife do Hydro Graphics here near my home town. They did this one for my late wife. If I remember right it is Kings Desert Shadow. Larry

I am loading 65gr. Sierra Gameking Spitzer Boat Tails with a max charge of Varget in FC Brass with Remington 7 1/2 Primers for my 16" DPMS Oracle .223 with great results. I have had these loaded for a couple years but plan to try the 64gr. Nosler Bonded Solid Base when I run out of these that...

I have used the 165gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips in both a 18 1/2" & 20" .308 and 24" .30-06. In the .308 I used the same load as Guy posted in both barrel lengths. From the short barrels velocity was right at 2600 FPS. In the 24" .30-06 T/C Encore I loaded them to 2940 FPS with H-4350. Bullet...

Thanks guys In South Dakota youth can take the Hunt Safe Course and Hunt in the year they turn 12 years old. However South Dakota also has a Mentor Hunter Program in which the Mentor gets the license for the Mentee (both names are on the license) in the year the child turns 10 years old, but...

Man I have not had canned venison since my mother passed away in 1988. Wow that a few years ago. May have to look into this. Thanks for refreshing my memory on how good canned venison was. For the record it makes GREAT Stew also. Larry

Thanks guys. Yes she is indeed on a roll. Now that her deer season is over she wants to shoot a Coyote with the AR15. With a little luck, provided I can save enough I plan on building a 6.5 Grendel AR15 Upper Receiver Assembly for a Deer Rifle. The down side was after we got the deer home and...

Yesterday was opening day of the youth deer season in South Dakota. At 5:30 yesterday afternoon I phoned and asked if my granddaughter wanted to go deer hunting. I really didn't need to ask as I knew what the answer would be. We loaded up my Blazer and headed out of town at 6PM. We drove east of...

I tried really really hard to get 60gr. Partitions to shoot but was never able to get a load I was happy with so I went back to my old standby. That old standby was the 64gr. Winchester Power Point loaded with W-748. That has accounted for a few one shot kills on Whitetails and Pronghorns. None...

Keep the .22. Everyone needs a good .22. Granted all of our ideas of a good .22 can be a bit different but in the end they serve the same purpose. For most of us a .22 is what taught us how to shoot. No matter how many centerfire guns we shoot sometimes it is just RIGHT to spend some time with a...

Thanks Guy, I like the Eagle too. My beloved wife absolutely loved watching the Bald Eagles migrate through every spring and we'd spend hours watching them on Mud Lake as the ice went off. I saw that blanket and had to buy it for Bonnie. Yes I had to ask her permission to use it for the photos...

Once again they have reduced the number of deer licenses available here in eastern South Dakota. Since I drew a coveted Any Deer License last year in our drawing I am quite sure I will not be hunting this year as there are only 400 Any Deer Licenses issued for my home county this year. With...

I have used a few of the Weaver 40/44 Riflescopes. I currently have a 4x12x44mm AO with their Ballistic X Reticle on my .25-06. I have had a couple 6.5x20x44mm AO with their Varminter Reticles on a couple custom 10/22's I have built. I have not had a problem with them, and am actually...

Sounds like a fun setup. I know what you mean. I have to shoot my butt off to keep up with my youngest officer. Good thing is he keeps me on my toes. Larry

Congrats Guy and thanks for your service. I have never been in the Military but September 13th 2015 I will have my 20 years in in Law Enforcement. Larry

cloverleaf a buddy and I found a place full of Flickertail Gophers a few years back. We went two years in a row. When I first talked to the farmer he said yes you can come and shoot gophers if you are serious about it. I asked him to explain. He had said that a few years before that some guys...

Thanks DrMike. Yes I thought it was a large coon also. Now to gear up for the next trip out there to shoot some Flickertail Gophers. Hopefully I have enough .22 LR Hollow Points saved up. Larry

Never even saw one. Friday night it was extremely humid and cold. You could almost see the ice crystals in the air. We did get a pack to respond Friday night but they never showed. Saturday night was crystal clear, brilliant moonlight but no takers, narry a sound. Sunday night was super...

Thanks I am sure liking it. Larry
