    What Is Your Favorite All Around Caliber...And Why????

    Even tho it might be considered "overbore", with todays powders you should be able to get a lot more barrel life out of the gun. I shoot a .220 Ackley Improved Swift that a built about 10 years ago. I don't know for sure how many rounds have gone thru the barrel (Shilen Match SS), probably...

    Cabela's...is this the beginning of the end?

    Just got a new Fishing Catalog from Cabelas/BassPro. It has a large Bass Pro logo on the top half of the cover and a really small Cabelas lower on the cover. Won't be too long and the Cabelas name will disappear. Bet there is a plan on Johnnie's desk on how to rebadge all the Cabelas stores! LOL...

    Here is something that is disgusting!

    Our local shooting club belongs to SCI because they give us range improvement grants almost every year. I was thumbing thru SCI's latest magazine "Safari" and saw this ad for Whitetail hunting. It is obviously a breeding farm that sells it's animals for people to shoot. Notice I avoided any...

    Winter Research - Wyoming Goats for a Canadian rambler

    I have never seen any Chukkars when I'm antelope hunting. I have seen plenty of huns, but all on private around hay fields. I would definitely hunt the units with more public (like 73) for does. I hunted a unit near 73 this year and 3 of us got 6 does in 3 days. Real easy hunt. It will also...

    Which premium NW elk unit would you want?

    If you could get a tag for either Unit 1,2,10 or 201, which would you prefer and why? Just a little background for some research I'm doing.

    Lefties shooting right-handed guns??

    I have Ambliopa (sp) aka Lazy Eye in my right eye. I am naturally right handed. Found out about it when I was 6 or 7 when my Dad tried to teach me to shoot a .22 rifle right handed. Switched to lefty and that is what I have always shot....for 70 or so years. I always shot a right handed bolt...

    Squeeze The Trigger...and Pop!

    A couple of weeks ago while antelope hunting in Wyoming, had something happen that happens to every reloader....eventually. I was setup on a doe at about 200 yards, head down feeding. Squeezed the trigger and just a pop. Jacked out the round and tried to chamber another....no go, couldn't...

    Advice - COAL for 280 Mdl 70

    Never heard or it. I'm kinda funny in my approach to reloading....old school & if it ain't broke, don't fix it. My loads for my 30-06 & 25-06 were developed over 40 years ago. They still perform to my expectations, so I don't screw around with the loads. When I got my .300 Wby, it took me a long...
