    Current Glock Gen 1 thru 5 being discontinued.

    While the new Gen 6 should be out soon, I'm not sure that all previous models are being discontinued. Yesterday, my dealer just got in a shipment of Gen 4 and Gen 5 pistols.

    RCBS X Die

    The same question was recently posted on another site. The general consensus was that the X dies works exactly as advertised once you get them set up correctly.

    Maine produces some bucks with incredible mass. You've managed to tag a few of them. Congratulations.

    2026 Moose Season Rifle

    I shot most of my bull moose with a 338RUM and a 250 Accubond. Terminal performance was always excellent. Most bullets passed through on broadside shots. I'd expect a Barnes bullet to have less expansion but greater penetration. Velocities in my 26" bbl ran about 3,000fps.

    "Slipping in" when deer are bedded/late morning or afternoon.

    I much prefer evening hunting, which is when I have taken most of my whitetails. However, when the bucks are actually chasing does, any time in the field is a good time. Even midday can be the perfect opportunity. Bucks are too preoccupied to use any of their natural instincts for survival.

    45-70 wet newspaper vs Sierra 300, Speer 350+400, 325 FTX...

    Since my earlier post, I actually caught a Speer 400 JSP bullet in an animal. I shot a 300lb boar right behind the shoulder at 125yds. The bullet went through the thick shield on both sides of the boar and was caught in the hide on the off-side. The recovered bullet was 90 cal and retained...

    I'd like to see Glen Seekins produce his new PH3 in left hand.

    ATTN: Nosler

    My limited use of the ABLR had a different outcome. The ABLR bullets shot from a 6.5 Creed caused a rather extreme exit wound on two deer shot at about 100yds. I've never seen that happen with a regular Accubond, which I've used extensively.

    45-70 and 350gr Hot Cor?

    The swift 350 A-Frame is really a perfect 45-70 bullet even though it's a bit stout at 45-70 velocities IMO. The only downside to the Swift is its relative cost. I've got several boxes of Hornady 350RN laying around here. They will get the job done at a fraction of the cost. If I was intent on...

    ATTN: Nosler

    The concept behind the ABLR is good. But ........what we really need is a redesigned ABLR that is easier to tune. Maybe a hybrid ojive would do the trick.

    Nothing quite like a northern whitetail. Congrats to all the successful hunters up there in Maine.

    Hearing Loss

    Fortunately, my health insurance covers hearing aids, including some rather expensive models. However, I have noticed that hearing aids are getting much less expensive and are in financial reach of most anyone. Some are in the hundreds of dollars. I recently read that Medicare may soon cover...

    Wrong side of the track

    Funny, but they seem to have the hunting seasons figured out pretty well too.

    Primer Question

    I have removed primers on a few occasions. I used to just toss them because primers were $25/1,000. Now that they are $125/1,000, I save them and use them for my fouling ammo. The reseated primers fire just fine, but they seat just a bit looser than factory fresh primers.

    heated vest

    It was an Amazon purchase which has 100 competing products. It's very hard to tell one from another but reviews are helpful. Here is the one I have: ORORO Men's 4-Zone Heated Fleece Vest with Heated Collar, Lightweight Heating Vest with Battery

    New copper tariff???

    I really like the Hammer bullets but I've moved away from all of the copper bullets due to the cost. Bergers are much cheaper, amazingly consistent and drop animals reliably. This year, I worked up my hunting load with Hornady ELD bullets which were even less expensive. They shot great and...

    heated vest

    My wife bought me one last Christmas because I get COLD all the time. The vest has 4 zones IIRC, back, neck and front near each pocket. I wore it for the first time last week. With a touch of the button, he vest goes on high for 5 minutes and then lowers to a medium setting. You can change from...

    SHOCKER

    The saying goes something like this: "50% of all doctors were in the bottom half of their class" I'm just joking so no disrespect to anyone in the medical field. Where would we be without you?
