Sounds like a hoot! I’ve been shooting my Marlin in 32 H&R mag a lot lately, and picked up a Ruger single six with fixed sights in the same chambering. A couple grains of HP-38 and some cast bullets, you can have a whole lot of fun for next to nothing. Add a touch more powder and you can get...

In Idaho you can only use a bullet fully comprised of lead and loose bp or pyrodex, they did decide that the pure lead Powerbelts that have a plastic gas check on the back are okay. They’ve never failed me, every elk a hole the size of a quarter through the middle of the heart except last year…a...

Cabela’s had cases of Federal’s in the store for $90 the other day so might be online as well if your not living in Boise’california

Right, my problem is a really have a big bore addiction and two bad shoulders. One is rebuilt with $83,000 worth of titanium, polyethylene and chrome steel. The other has been scoped enough it needs the same hardware. I wake to coffee and an extra strength shot of Advil. Big slip on pads are my...

Started reloading when I finished paying the last kid’s college tuition years ago…1st cartridge was a 348 Winchester and you can probably guess why. Now I load about 5 pistol/rifle cartridges-I’m a lever gun addict, and lost count, but around 18 or so rifle cartridges for different levers, bolts...

I’m keeping your rifle in my proverbial back pocket, it’s my Wife’s birthday tomorrow and I seriously thought about buying her another “birthday” present….she’s a lefty like me 🤣 Seriously though, I had a staff member unlock me so I could contact you. Then I decided I probably should wait after...

Agreed 200%!!!!!!!!!!! Had a guy last year fly by me in the dark on a quad one morning knowing full well I had parked at the base of the mountain to walk the trail past the forest service gate that was a half mile past where I parked, only one way into the area……he parked his quad at the gate...

My house, backpack from my front door and return to a shower, hot meal and a fire. Elk and deer are usually running around in my yard though, so sometimes don’t bother with the backpack part. Last year I hunted from my Wife’s Toyota Highlander for Elk because diesel fuel is so dang expensive now...

Ha! I’m originally from Omahaha, grew up in South Omaha close to 33rd and Harrison. Left in the 70’s and only been back to sprinkle my Dad’s ashes in the Platt River in Plattsmouth where he grew up. My little brother is a retired LEO from the Denver area and moved back 3 years ago and is a...

That’s my front yard and that’s what I do every day when I’m up where I prefer to be. A lot of work but would much rather be doing this than deal with all the people at our place in the valley.

Thanks, I’ve been here long enough I’m pretty much a native. Especially when in the valley down in Boise, it’s been ruined by southern Californian fruitcakes that drive like a bunch of ********. If you get an Elk down up there keep your eyes peeled, there’s big fuzzy things that like Elk more...

Thanks guys, glad to be here. I’m looking forward to gaining more knowledge in the long range game. I’ve always been a lover of the short range hunt but being an avid reloader of many cartridges it’s something I’ve always wanted to get into. Funny because I shoot quite a bit, all one smokeless...

Yes, unfortunate that the wanna be HOA cop that makes sure your grass is precisely 1.2” long and your trash cans aren’t left out for more than an 30 minutes after their emptied during the day, is also a “Super Moderator / Troller” on a forum that’s full of good ole’ boys that like shooting old...
