Back a few years when they were really cheap on IMR 5010, shot a lot of it with fast primer loads. The only problem was unburnt 5010 granules pitted my old Chrono's face plate. Very accurate in Rossi...

I would be a little worried about looking too far back in my family tree. I know some of my family in Croatia were "Fisherman who's nets never got wet" that was a nice way of saying smugglers. They...

This was the first hunting I've done in a year. Been through surgery, two rounds of chemo, and a round of radiation. I'm supposed to be cancer free now, so it was a nice topping on the cake getting...

Second day of season here in Missouri. First day called two in and they found a hen to fight over just out of range. Today I had this one come in like it was on a homing beam, gobbling as he came to...

The Finns with .308 Swiss barrels are extremely accurate with .311 bullets. I've never heard of a problem with military or commercial ammo. On the 88 commission I would stick to cast for the old...
