    V.J. Day 1945

    I personally think of August 15th as VJ Day, though the official signing of the surrender was September 2nd the Japanese announced that they were surrendering on August 15th. I am partial to the the 15th because my dad died on the 15th and he was fighting the Japanese at the time. There is no...

    First elk for 2021

    Nice, shooting cow elk during late August sounds like a great way to get the fall started! I am going to have to look into this for next year.

    The Memes Thread!

    We would peel popular until noon while the hay dried and then bail hay until dark. Usually we would put up 1000 or more each day. It was not uncommon and we didn’t think it was anything special because that’s what everyone did. After almost 30 years of being employed by corporate America, I miss...

    Well it finally happened......I destroyed a gun.

    Thanks for all the information CC! it’s really good of you to be so transparent, it will hopefully keep someone else (like me) from making similar mistakes. I think the only reason I haven’t done something like this yet is I only use RL22 for all my WBY loads. I could definitely see myself...

    Well it finally happened......I destroyed a gun.

    Was it Weatherby (Norma) brass? I have reloaded 300 wby Norma brass up to 3 times and with a lot hotter loads than you described, I am kind of concerned, as you appear to be much more meticulous than I am.

    Well it finally happened......I destroyed a gun.

    That had to scare the crap out of you, I am really glad that you didn’t get hurt! As you mentioned 3060 FPS from a 150grain 300wby, I would consider a very light load. Please keep us informed if you get to the bottom of what ever happened.

    Logistic information Region “M”

    If you have a UTV or 4 wheeler I would definitely take it with. All the dirt roads are trash if they get any significant moisture. The no wood road south of Tensleep is blacktop until Big Trails, south of big trails the road holds up okay with moisture but depends on just how much moisture they...

    College Visit

    We have had that discussion and I think they made pretty good choices but I always tell them that the degree only gets you in door, they have to work their butts off and separate themselves from the pack.

    College Visit

    I created a formula for my kids, I will pay 100% of tuition for a 4.0 and 50% for a 2.0. Anything less than 2.0 I pay 0%. Little jerks have been getting pretty good grades so I think they get the picture LOL. It’s been a little frustrating sending all that money to the University so that they...

    Time to buy points.

    Going to keep buying the kids points, my son has two more years of college and I thought he would be in-line for a decent tag after he graduates but with the 90/10 who knows. I am not sure what I am going to do after we cash in all of our current points.

    Preferred cartridge? Grip and grin pic added

    Barnes vortex 25-06,100 grain if you can find them is really good factory ammo.
