    Didn’t think I’d Actually Win It

    Congratulations on your rifle. I am sure you will like it. Not the same cartridge, but I had good luck with Reloder 23 in my 7mm WSM.

    I Messed up on Ear Protection

    I was there a little bit earlier than you. I graduated in 1973. I hunted a couple of times in the North Country but I don't remember where now. Maybe St. Regis Falls area?? I also visited Cranberry Lake. For some reason, I think Charlie-NY lives in the Catskills, but don't quote me on that.

    Wheelgun Wednesday!

    I used to carry my S&W Model 66 (357 Mag) on my walks. Then a year ago last fall I shot a deer when (unknowingly) my ear flaps had displaced my hearing aid in my right ear. The report caused further permanent damage to my hearing. Now I carry my Ruger Single Six Convertible with the .22 Mag...

    Video that I hate

    When "it" doesn't even know the common usage names for cartridges, "it" shouldn't be opining on the subject.

    Pretty Gun, Pretty Scenery

    Welcome to the forum. I also am right-handed but shoot left-handed now due to (mid-life) nerve damage to my right eye. Nice write up on the 257 Roberts Improved in the Nosler No. 9 manual. There are a couple of other section authors on the forum.

    EuroOptics

    I ordered a Garmin chronograph from EuroOptics yesterday and it arrived today. The salesperson I talked to was very helpful and pleasant. He was in no rush to get me off the phone. It was great service.
