Cull the herd!! (I ain't talkin' about the moose!) :)

I think that's a left-handed swage dimpler. I knew a guy whose Granpa's second cousin used to fish with a guy who had one. :)

Looks tasty! I got a sous vide rig for a gift about a year ago, and it turns out some awesome game meals. I still grill, sear in cast iron, braise, roast and all the rest, in various combinations. But I'm glad to have the sous vide option, too!

I can personally attest to the IIA of the .38 Special Snake Shot cartridge, especially when fired from a 2" revolver. I installed a ring of tiny holes in a wooden deck, lower rail, and several balusters... but the **** squirrel just blinked and looked at me like I was stupid before running...

Hm. I didn't seem to have to sign up to donate with a card. (I actually do have a PP account, but I did not log in.) It did require me to enter some personal info, but no more than I'd have to enter for using a card for checking out as a "guest" at many online retailers. The PP page offered...

When I open a thread, this banner appears at the top (screenshot): When I click on the "DONATE" button, it goes to a PayPal page where you can make a donation. Hope that helps. If you don't see that banner, maybe your browser settings need adjusting.

Did you find an outfitter/place to hunt? If so, how was your experience? I live in NC, but I've got family in Lompoc and go to visit sometimes. Though it's hard to imagine doing anything with a firearm in CA anymore, I would love to explore the possibility of a hog hunt for one of my trips. Any...

I have read the Thunderbolts are inconsistent (to put it mildly). Note that that is not my personal experience; I avoided buying some because of what I read. Certainly check screws & clean well, but, before making any alterations, try a couple different types of ammo. I have been amazed at how...

I use a cheapish woodworker's bench similar to the HF one several here have already posted. (Sjobergs, I think) Mine came w/o drawers, so I built a simple box cabinet to fit below the top. I left 6" or so between the top of the cabinet & bottom of the bench as shelf space and so I could use the...

Thanks for the welcome messages! I've been concentrating on pistol/defensive shooting for a while, mostly because I recently moved and no longer have access to the 20 acres of woods behind my old house. (sad) At present, I'm limited to about 100yds at the public range and a few 25yd indoor...

Great re-work story! This thread caused me to sign up here at LRH! :) I was looking for info on rifling twist rate for my 788 in .243. Mine was also a restoration project, to a degree... I got it in a trade with a buddy, but it was completely underwater when I was flooded in '04. (I had a steel...

Hey y'all, Windini here, just signed up in North Carolina. I found this forum while DDG'ing info on Remington 788 .243 Win rifling twist rate and found some good info. I have a wide variety of hunting & shooting interests, and I look forward to reading your comments & stories! Happy &...
