I used a 120 grain hollow point I hand loaded. It worked well but I’m going to try something different. Probably something in the 140 range.

I bought her a savage model 11 in 7mm/08 last summer. Before that she had killed deer with a single shot 22-250 and a single shot 243. I highly recommend a NEF single shot 243 for a first deer gun. You can get an ar style 6 position stock for them to grow with. We tried the Rossi to but...

My daughter got her 1st SD deer in September on opening day! She’s shot deer in Kansas before but this was her first time hunting South Dakota. We got out to our spot about 30 minutes till shooting light and started hiking out, 200 yards from the truck my son “whispers” almost in a yell right...

I see a lot of posts on which gps to buy but haven’t seen anything on old school navigation with a map and compass. Does anyone know of any courses offered or somewhere I could learn this skill? Preferably in person I really dislike YouTube and trying to learn off the internet. I’m very...

I'm not familiar with the Sherman can you enlighten me please?

I'm trying to decide which caliber to go with 6mm-06 or 6.5-06. I've got an old 110 30-06 I wore out and want to re barrel. I've narrowed it down to these two just having a hard time making a final decision. I mostly hunt deer, antelope, and coyotes. Those of you that have one or had one which...

My wife was scared to death of guns when we met. She told me she almost didn't go out with me a second time after walking in the door and seeing my collection. I talked her into shooting and now she hunts with me every chance we get. My 5 year old just shot his first deer this year 2x3...

I love mine. As far as barrels go I love my 28" 30-06 barrel for deer. But what you choose all depends on how you are going to use it. If you are not sure what you want get a couple different ones and try em out. If you don't like them you can normally get your money back as they don't...

I am looking to get a larger pack and was curious if the Cabelas packs hold up very well. Does anyone use this model? Thanks

Okay thanks guys looks like I will try to find something else as I already have a ruger in 338 win mag.

Thought I might pick your brains. I am wanting to put together a long range setup and have decided on the 338-378. I have a line on a 28" 338 win mag barrel for my encore thats in really good shape. My first question is the encore frame stout enought to handle it? Second can I have a 338...

Marlin 336 in 35 remington:D

Try a cz 527 in a 204. I think it would be just what your looking for small short barreled rifle you can get in and out of the window fast. I have one and love it even conviced dad to buy one a couple months ago. I stick with the 40 gr vmax for coyote loads but the cheap winchester 32 hp are...

I'm originally from sw kansas its about 7 hour drive from where I live now.
