    What are the last 3 rifles you sold and why?

    I was #19 in the Selective service lottery draft to be called up 1971. I figured that I wasn't coming back from that mess, and I didn't want to burden my parents with my beagles so I started selling stuff. My three rabbit hounds went first. A guy came all the way from Arkansas to watch them...

    What is the deal with NO .410 Shot Shells.

    ,410 scarcity started to show about the same time that .22LR got scarce. 22LR has recovered but not .410 Years back I tried reloading some for my son and I could not get one good crimp out of 100. Ballistic Products sells reloading components for .410 if you are interested.

    Premium 22LR Rifles

    Look at the Springfield model 2020. I handled one a a gun show. Feels comfortable and looks to be well made. Reviews are saying that it's a real performer.

    Reloading Safety

    Load a block of 50 or less at a time. After charging all cases with powder, observe, with a flashlight, the height of the powder in the case. It is usually obvious if you've over charged a case, but weighing is always a good idea. I use a Uniflow powder measure to charge case to within a...

    Found Primers but are they too much $$$

    This past August I stumbled into a LGS and gasped at a pile of Remington 9 1/2 primers. At 89.95 a brick I jumped in with both feet and came out with 6000. I thought about it and went back 5 hours later and they were all gone. I ate Cheerios for a week but was comfortable with my decision...

    Acceptable Accuracy For Hog Hunting

    20+ years ago I bought me a 3x9 Leupold. That same year for Christmas my girlfriend gave me Weaver 6x. For over 18 years I carried that Weaver with me as a spare, just in case. At year 18 I was flush enough to buy a second rifle and put the weaver on it. I now took a second rifle as a...

    Un expected results.

    Last year I shot a 6pt walking straight at me. I had been glassing it for about 170yds as it grazed up a dozer trail straight as an arrow to me. It was getting really dark so I decided that I had to shoot it soon or the opportunity would be gone. At 80yds I put the cross hairs square center...

    Some deer have an "S" on their chest and wear a cape.

    Kyle’s Trophy Buck

    I've hunted with many outfitters that lease farms and manage the deer herd. One in particular leases 5 farms totaling 23,000 acres. Not a single fence in sight. Deer are free to come and go as they please. Some folks have a skewed Idea about how these properties operate. Congrats to Kyle

    Also record what ever you measure in a notebook. That way when you hit on something that works, you know for sure that you can repeat it.
