    Big deer hunt - help me pick the cartridge

    Wow! You might just worry that deer to death!🤣🙈 Hunted deer in MO for over 60 years and killed them with about everything but a stick. Pick anything bigger than a .22, zero it and place the shot. End result the same without all the mental gymnastics! Enjoy your trip. MO is a great Whitetail...

    220 Swift vs. 22-250 for varmints...Opinions Please

    I tend to agree with these guys. I like my M-77 BB Ruger Swift. Most of the guys I know who have had barrel burn out on their swifts were shooting a lot of really hot loads. You get a lot more flexability in hand loading with the swift due to case size. A friend of mine says if he shot the...
