    definition of straight walled cartridge

    Same as the .500 WE case? It has the belt to head space on. As far as the internet shows, it is considered a straight walled case. Some .50 subs use a belted case, but maybe only for the needed body diameter. Head space made possible with the belt, having no shoulder.

    color phase squirrels

    If you want white phase, not albino, gray squirrels, a state park in Pensacola, Florida has them. Didn't see a single gray but did see 6 or 8 pure white ones. Don't know if the others were run off or not, just thought it weird and funny at the same time. The wife and i thought they were trash or...

    New Best Friend

    As far as the shorter bassets go, my one grandfather used to like and use only short beagles because they didn't run as fast or run the rabbits into the next parrish. I don't think he liked to track down the dogs at the end of the hunt. Squirrel dogs, on the other hand, he had a very large and...

    50 cal. casings found while hunting?

    In Jefferson Proving Grounds Indiana back a few years ago,helicopters were, and got into trouble for shooting deer on the north end of the property, so the local stories go. You can still hear A-10's unloading at various times, week and weekends. You cant go in some areas because of "unexploded...

    One more down in Idaho.............

    Someone needs a bigger table. Nice color. Time to go and get another ...... dozen or so. Hope they slow down on the reproduction numbers, but then we would be living in the fairytale story that the bunny huggers live in.

    22 Cal's legal in WYO

    If you handload, try the 70 grain Speer .22 out of a fast twist AR. They do work on 150 lb plus deer. Sierra makes a 63 grain varmint bullet, but may be too thin of a jacket. Barnes makes a 62 and 70 TSX.

    45 WinMag with Barnes 250gr. slug

    only thing i have really heard about on thin skinned bullets in a .454 is stacking or collapse issues. something about the bullet diameter "increases" at higher velocity and raising chamber pressures. original freedom arms bullets were supposed to be thicker and harder than "normal" jacket material.
