You don't have to believe the GH owl story, my wife was there and saw it happen. Golden eagles are a daily sighting if you are outside for more than 2 hours, where I live. Bald eagles come around in the winter, but not too much in the summer. According to WY G&F Golden Eagles are the #1...

My wife volunteered at a bird rescue and helped rehabilitate injured raptures and song birds. She tells the story of a recoving Great Horned owl clamping onto a vets gloved wrist. They tried everything to get the owl to let go - no luck. After 1.5 hours they had to euthanize the owl.

I have a stripped or complete Magnum LA RH bolt head. Looking to trade for same in '06 size

The key to covering distance quickly is not speed - it's keeping the left door shut!

Yup, thanx for remembering that

I'm fireforming 40 or so pcs of standard H&H brass to 375 AI. I'm going to be using 260gr cast and Unique. I don't eat Cream of Wheat or oatmeal, so I don't have any in the house. What other filler can I use and how many grains of Unique in that sized case?

In the mid 80's everything was simple: $10 / pound, $10/ 100 bullets, $10/ brick of primers. Cast handgun bullets were 50% cheaper than jacketed.

Where in WY are you? Scheels in Billings had several thousand in stock yesterday for $80-$100/1000. I didn't see any BR though (but I wasn't looking)

I'll be home Friday night, I can do it then

I have a CM Douglas unturned blank (1.2"). $175 + the ride

The 6.5x47 Lapua proved to be effective. I pussed out and put a brake on it due to my recent shoulder surgery. I was on my way to a property to ask permission to hunt and I saw 25 or so antleope on a property that I already had permission for. The shot was only 147 yards, in and out. No...

Finally got to shoot this today in a 12-15 mph full value wind. I had loads that were .150", .100" and .025" off the lands. All with IMR 4064 (and some Rem 120gr bullets with Big Game to get me on the paper). Looks like the .025" jump with 34 gr of 4064 is the winner at .8". If I had more time...
