Just read where a movie has been made about the first man on the Moon. The controversy is over the leaving out where Neal Armstrong plants the American Flag. It's been my policy to see movies (it's not often anymore) to avoid politics. When I hear of a movie going that way I avoid it...

Is there a rule of thumb so to speak for determining the maximum length of a cartridge in order to feed correctly in a magazine? Obviously there are max cartridge lengths in all manuals so all I would need do is follow that for sure. Just curious how close one can go before it might effect...

The rifle is almost done and there are two things that need to be addressed, checkering pattern or not and to jewel or polish the bolt. It's a dark wood stock that has a lot of burl with plenty of dark areas, almost black. It looks subtle at first until you get close then all the character...

Looks like Fotis won't be the only one taking a .340 on an elk hunt this year. :>) I'm headed up for 2nd season to Western Colorado about 25 miles west of where Tom will by for 1st rifle. Knowing him he'll be hiking all over the place so if I see his tracks on my side of that mountain range...

I've bought one to be used on an upcoming hunt. It's now on my pack and will carry hands free. However, now that it's there I've got two questions to you folks who use them. 1. It seems irritating to me to have the scope rubbing on the inside of my arm................. Is this the case for...

Just read an article about how mountain goats in Olympic National park are threatening humans. One has even killed a hiker. Lots of talk about how the Park service is discussing ways to correct this problem. It has not been decided but, shooting them from helicopters is one of the ideas...

It h as been difficult to find any data for this so if any would provide any data I would be grateful. Thanks in advance. Considering the following powders; H4831SC IMR-4831 404. Jeffery 400 grain NF S.P. & solid 24" barrel modern M70 magnum action

Heard this on the radio the other morning where college students were asked what they thought about socialism and if they thought it a good or bad thing. Everyone of them answered in a very similar fashion. Basically they were all for it because it meant "fairness" and they also thought that...

It's time to start ordering this stuff and am looking for some advice. So far I have read where IMR-4831 is a good powder for keeping velocities good while pressures down. My goal is a 400 grain bullet at 2400 fps. Maybe 2300 but, no more than 2400 even though some are getting 2600 fps...

Just interested in what motivates some of you folks. I've a friend who has offered his advice on my going elk hunting again. His take was I should move on and tackle other game instead of my upcoming elk hunt this Fall. Mostly because I have one decent elk. Not a record book bull but...

Was reading a thread in the hunting section (one bullet) and it would be interesting to me to hear from you hunters who have used more of the bullets that are used in other parts of the world. We hear about the partition all the time along with the A-Frame. What about others such as Woodleigh...

Just wondering what powder you folks would recommend for a model 99. Going with the 150 grain PT. I've read where Varget is a good choice and is available but, I've got some RL15 just sitting on a shelf begging to get used somewhere. Not sure it would be the best for 150 grain bullets??? I'm...

It's pretty early and I am perhaps a year from needing this. However, looking for some load info and it is not easy to find. From my reading IMR 4831 appears to be a good choice? Barrel length 24", 1:12 bullet; 400 grain NF IMR 4831?? or better...... Pressure levels: I would max out around 55...

Just so that everyone realizes that these cards can be a scam. My wife was given two gift cards by her sister for a birthday over a year ago with an expiration date of 2024. Today she tried to use them and the amount on the two cards was twenty dollars. Her sister spent $750.00 for those...

About to start loading for a 300 wm and am tossing around what would be the best bullet. All that has been sent down the tube on this rifle has been factory ammo with 180 grain bullets; it likes them the best. I'm more than happy sticking with them or would consider a 200 grain too. Even...

Just returned last Thursday from a hunt with my brother "Myles" in Van Horn. We were after mulies and had a great time. Like the vast majority of the state, we hunted private land for 4 days. Just the two of us and a guide. The ranch is very flat and had a few low draws. I've spent a lot...

I've mentioned that I'm having a custom rifle built in the .404 Jeffery. The plan is to use 400 grain bullets @ 2300 fps. Maybe a tad more depending on how things go. So far I have been emailing rifle manufacturers and Northfork bullets for their input. Without going into too much minutia...

I'm thinking of having a rifle built and using one of these 4 blanks. The rifle will be a 404 Jeffery. Just want your opinion on the quality of wood and suitability for a heavy recoiler. The plan is to use a model 70 action. A B & C note, due to reflection it is hard to see 'C'...

Not sure this is the place for this but there has to be some archery hunters here. I told myself that if I could get my shoulder rehabbed a new bow would be in order. Short story is I had a shoulder injury in 2013 which led to a frozen shoulder in 2014. Last year I got serious and have been...
