    How to know it is Spring in Cody, Wyoming

    If they are going to relocate bears to other states, why don't they put some of them in downtown LA. Lots of food resources, plus it would make a great video.

    Split case stuck in 223 sizing die

    By the way, RCBS still makes stuck case extractors for just this purpose---disregard, I just remembered the case needs to be intact.

    Split case stuck in 223 sizing die

    Might try a separated case extractor. Often used on rifles when a case head separates in the rifle. They make then for m-16s. It may not work if it's really stuck. I've used the tap method as well but it helps if you can cool down the brass as much as possible . Expansion contraction rates of...

    Rifle sling for hunting

    I bought a Slogan sling last year and tried using it. I've come to the conclusion that rubber is for tires and condoms not rifle slings. 🤪 I'm an old hi-power rifle shooter and like to sling up tight for shooting. Can't do it with a rubber sling. Maybe I'm just too old to change. I did find it...

    Rifle sling for hunting

    I've been using the Brownell's Latigo sling for many years and will use nothing else. They adjust super easy for carrying or shooting. The problem with a sling that is too wide is that they sometimes want to slip off your shoulder.

    Whats the cartridge you LOVE to HATE?

    Yeah, you may be right. My old partner used to call it the DOD factor. The "degree of deadness" is important as well.

    Whats the cartridge you LOVE to HATE?

    Man, I've shot a .458WM a lot and the only thing worse than shooting it standing up is shooting it off the bench. Doing load development with a .458 makes you flinch just thinking about it. Plus the fact, every time you pull the switch, your bank account gets smaller. Especially shooting those...

    Whats the cartridge you LOVE to HATE?

    Holy crap Brother, I'm the same way. I've never owned a 7 anything until recently. I'm building a .275 Rigby just because W.D. Bell had one and killed a bunch of stuff with it. Even the Britts refused to call it a 7mm Mauser and renamed it, .275 Rigby. That's what I'm doing as well. I hope I...

    Favorite shotgun

    Have you had the chamber opened to 2 3/4 inches. Most of those older 16s had a 2 9/16 chamber and it can cause some real pressure spikes if you shoot a longer shell in it.

    How to know it is Spring in Cody, Wyoming

    You are right. People usually move from areas that have laws or politics we don't agree with to areas of like minded folks. Doesn't mean you have to agree with everything but it's far better to be a friend instead of a prophet. I find it difficult to support anyone that has ideas that are...

    Favorite shotgun

    I've got a Guerini Magnus for sporting clays and a "B" Rizzini for a trap gun, but in the last few years I taken to use one of my model 21 Winchesters in 12 or 20 ga for the field. I know you aren't even supposed to see the end of the barrel but when looking over those SxS barrels it's sort of...

    Whats the cartridge you LOVE to HATE?

    Brother, I've been working with mine lately and so far I kind of like it. Not sure how long the barrel is going to last, but so far so good. Getting good some pretty good groups with IMR 4350 (have a bunch of it) with 62 -64 grain bullets. Haven't played with heavier VLD's yet. That's next on...

    Yeah but I hear Birkenstock's give grizzlies indigestion and they might break a claw prying the kalyfornyan's out of their Subaru's.

    How about a .22-243 Middlestead?? I have the reamer. 🤪

    I Know This Is LRH... But What Is The Shortest Distance You Have Taken A Live Target?

    Cape buffalo at about 20 feet and an "F Troop" gang banger with a knife at 3 feet.
