Plan: “boom, pause for effect, raise barrel, look surprised, repeat!”

We as humans also carry number of virus that could kill us but they don’t. This i assume would be the same in animals. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/viruses-can-help-us-as-well-as-harm-us/

I think a nice dream hunt is a bison with a 45-70 😁

I have used my 270 Win for the past 40 years could not tell you how many WT/Mule deer I have taken with it. Even a few elk. I started using 140 grain cup & core bullets but now prefer the Barns 140 TSX/TTSX. It’sa fun fun gun to shoot!

I love my .22; track driver at 50 yards. But I find P-dogs are more sentimental towards my 17 HMR. I bring this out and their eyes get a little Misty. 🤣

I look at the cleaning/break in as quality trigger time. Slows me down a bit and also get a feel for the gun.

These are all good suggestions. I already have the dies for the 243; but I too was thinking something in the 6.5. Thoughts on the 6.5X284 (already mentioned here earlier) or a 6.5X47L just to be a bit different.

What I do not understand is why you would want a bunch of fragments in your meat. Wouldn’t it be the same a getting a bite of a steel bb in a goose or duck?

A few things I’ve learned after 43 years (this November) It’s easier to get forgiveness than permission. If I’m” right “this time it’s just fuel for the next argument. You can either talk to the man in charge, or the woman who knows what’s going on. I wear the pants in this family; my wife...

Having been a 270 Win shorter for almost 40 years I have taken everything from PD to elk and moose. My rifle loves pretty much anything I feed it. Speer, Hornady or Barnes. 130, 140 or 150 grain pills. Hunting season is usually 2 shots. 1 to confirm zero and one to put meat on the table. I...

Take your wife’s flat make up removing pads and place a couple of strike anywhere between 2 Of them. Then pour some melted wax and saturate the pads. After they cool you can place them in a ziplock bag. To start your fire just remove one- separate them to get your matches out light the waxy...

I have no idea how old these are but I have a box & 1/2
