I don't remember that I had to have my rifle in a zippered or hard case and completely unloaded the last time I hunted in Wyoming. Nothing in the new regs that I could find. Anybody...

    Post Your Best Mule Deer To Date

    My best bucks all come from California. Check out "My Profile" and the album "High Sierra Deer". Best is a 178 non typical which I shot in 1963 and is not with the others.

    Yeti Coolers cuts all ties with NRA

    Just saw a press release that Yeti has cut all ties with the NRA. I don't own any, but sure as hell won't buy anything with the Yeti label on it now. Too many other products out there that do a great job for a lot less money!

    What would you do with my 270 win?

    Primers look fine to me. How does the .308 group with the hotter load? I would shoot the hottest load that groups the best and does not show signs of excessive pressure. Looks like your going to have to find what the .270 likes. I have found that sometimes even 1/2 grain above or below will...
