I like to make my own. I use the burger cuts to make sweet Italian sausage. I don't put it in casings. I just vacuum seal 2lb bricks and bring them out when I want to make lasagna or meat sauce for pasta. Or topping for pizzas. The venison really takes the fennel seed well. Obviously, I add some...

I did not realize there was a "Humor" section. That makes me the fool, here. I apologize to all whom I may have offended. Stupid of me, and I pray you will forgive me. In particular, @Phil Rizzo and @Quintus. Sorry, fellas.

It isn't presented as fiction. It was presented as an actual event. My concern was simply the reactionary intent. I did not call anyone here out as a fool, unless the author himself is a member.

I agree with citizens having the means and legal wherewithal to protect themselves from crime. I'm just asking folks to view these kinds of media with some skepticism about their true intent. I'm happy to be wrong. It could very well have been meant as a joke by an innocuous fool.

The article in the original post is from an incident in 2010. A number of details have been changed and others added. I consider it propaganda. I don't know the source, but I suspect it was designed to accomplish a number of nefarious things. It's divisive garbage that should be dismissed as...

Beautiful family and memories to match, now. Fantastic!

6.8 Western is unlikely, as that is not a Federal cartridge to start with. It's a good candidate IMO because there are no old rifles chambered in it. 308 seems like an obvious choice, but again-- old rifles. The lawyers will tell them it's too risky. For that reason, maybe 7mm-08? And yes, that...

Who in their right mind shoots a 375 H&H 300-500 times? Ouch! And, yeah, I agree that the pics show a clean and little-worn barrel.

I bought a Tikka with a GRS stock used and cheap in 6.5 Creed just to try the caliber out. It's really nice. What's not to like? There's a factory load from Sig with an Accubond in it that shoots sub-moa at 100 yards. I reload for every other rifle I have. I might not for this one as it just...

Cameraland has the 3-18 prices at $1900.

That is an excellent idea! And that bullet will certainly do the job.

I load the same bullet/cartridge combo and get about 3000 fps with 42.5G of Varget. Is your fps a typo?

I haven't taken anything beyond 300 yards, but I do know what my best shot was. It was on a hog in the riverbed. I was wading and dropped to one knee in about 8"-10" of water and made a heart shot at about 225 yards. The hog was on the run. I doubt I could repeat that. I really just aimed at the...

I don't have that many years. Maybe ten? But I agree with much of the advice already shared. A few that stand out: 1. It's unlikely that you'll convince someone to do as you do, or think as you think, through lengthy posts and explanations. 2. Know your goal and work backwards. Tiny groups or...

Excellent points and ideas. And the 25 cal is of interest to me as just another rifle to have. Like you say, it's a reason to buy another rifle. I already have 17, 22, 223, 243, 264, 284, & 308 calibers, some in multiple chamberings. So... yeah. I don't need a 25. And I'll wait to see how it...
