    Bear protection Auto in a holster Poll

    .454 Casull in a chest holster and it is sitting on an empty hole. Single action so if my thumb is working it will be live. I I can't get um in 4 I'm lunch. Lots of thumb practice cause I Cowboy Action shoot.

    Nightforce vs Leupold warranty?

    I've had two problems with Leupold and they were fixed and back to me no questions asked. They were pistol scopes on a Casull .454 from 30+ years ago and they replaced with new no questions asked. New ones seem tougher.

    6.5 haters

    Well I was one of the people who didn't like even hearing about the 6.5 CM and yet here I am with one on the rack. Built an AR 10 and the 6.5 seemed to be the way to go wanting a 24" barrel and Aero had one. Took a couple of trips to the range figuring out why it wouldn't cycle but found the...

    Pistol bullets?

    I used a ruger .45 with handloads for years and was good enough with it to shoot grouse and have something left to eat. Killed 7 head of elk with it but as with any pistol I shot till I was out of bullets and reloaded while watching to make sure. On one particular cow elk I shot found all the...

    What type of bullet did you use on your last elk?

    .45 long colt in Ruger Blackhawk. Broad side 75 yards. 5 shots Bullets all recovered between hide and meat far side. One would have done it but with pistol ya shoot till ya run out.

    To brake or not to brake...

    I find the outdoor range where I shoot empties out when I'm testing a new load and that's a good thing hehe. I shoot a 300 Rum with a PainKiller brake and it makes a punisher into a pussycat. If Publishers Clearing House calls maybe I will be able to afford a suppresser but do I need another...

    Anyone shooting a 7-300wsm

    I've in the process of building a rifle for F Class shooting in this caliber. Have lots of 300WSM Winchester brass and it sizes quite easily to 7mm. Been waiting on a match chamber reamer for the Berger Hybrids for 3 months so no shooting data yet but regular REAMERS are available. Settled...

    Longest Handgun Kill

    In my youth(late 60s/early 70s) I owned one gun so it was used for everything from gophers to elk. My folks bought me a Ruger Blackhawk in 45LC 7 1/2"(I'm sure my Dad was trying to preserve his gun cabinet) while I was in High School. Made my own grips and tuned the trigger all by myself. Did...

    Longest Big Game Kill With Rifle

    A little deviation form the original format. I was working as a big game guide in the Bob Marshal Wilderness area in the early 70's and had two hunters with me that day. We sit down for a little break and glassing when ka-boom. One of the guys was sitting a ways off and spots an elk across...
