My wife graduated from East in ‘83. I graduated from LaFollette in ‘81. Small world!

Oddly enough no. This was actually the first time I didn’t get a pass through with this rifle. The buck was quartering towards me when I shot. The bullet blasted through the spine (leaving some lead...

Last Saturday was the deer gun opener in WI and I was blessed to have harvested a fine 10 pt with my trusty Ruger M77 Hawkeye chambered in .358 Win. Projectile was a Saeco #352 cast in #2 Lyman and...

I despise kidney beans, but will add pinto beans sometimes. Otherwise no beans.

Personally, #2 is my go-to alloy for most things. Second would be WW+2% tin and I’ve also begun to use 16:1.

I have gotten multiple e-mails from them threatening to deactivate my account. I ignore them because there are plenty of free photo hosting sites. I use postimages.org.

I’ve had it for about a year and took a deer with it in day mode last fall, but this was my...

Harvested a couple of feral hogs the other day in South Georgia with my RRA 458 SOCOM. Both broadside at about 35 yards. Bullets zipped clean through. Not giants, but will be tasty! Load as follows:...

After much load development for my Ruger M77 .338 Win mag, I settled on Barnes 225 gn TTSX with 65.4 gns of REL 17 (I recall the burn rate was very 4350 like). Used it to take Sitka Blacktails on...

Why does a 45 cal bullet “need” to expand. You’re punching a nearly 1/2” hole through game with a good transfer of energy when that big slug hits.
Case in point: I once shot a buck with a 180 gn...

Yes, this happened to a buddy of mine. Had to get a special UPIN number to use when buying guns.

Green County. I’ve taken deer, hogs, and black bear with my .358 Win. Great cartridge.

I had great luck with the Lyman 311291 in a .308. Great accuracy with IMR 3031 and deadly on hogs and deer.

Most of the meat we consume is venison. Each of the last 2 years I put 6 deer in the freezer and we do our own processing. Almost never buy red meat. When we lived in Alaska, we always had moose...

I have a 458 SOCOM that I plan on getting a suppressor for. I have molds up 530 grains that will get plenty of penetration at 1,050 FPS and a .460" hole will bleed out fine. I like the idea of...
