I would love to take a turkey with either my 1894 Marlin .44 magnum, with 240 grain SWCGCHP or my 1894 Winchester AE ,.45 Colt, with 255 grain RNFP but, alas, Indiana requires shotgun only 20ga or...

Sounds like good sport but I don't kill anything I don't intend to eat. I have some 85 grain RNGC loaded with 5 grains of Clays for my .243 that should work nicely. Alligator snappers are good but...

I like my Gerber Gator, 4" stainless blade 1/2 half serrated, folding. It has a soft handle which is easy to grip even when covered with blood. It will easily cut through the ribs to separate them...

I forgot that I also have a Ruger #1 in .270 Winchester. It may be a better choice for whitetails. It has harvested two deer and three hogs, all with 130 grain psp's, yet I have a desire to take one...

Anyone loading cast boolets for the .270 Winchester? I have a Model 1500 Howa but I don't know the twist. So far, I have loaded 130 grain psp and 150 grain psp.

I have a stainless 1858 with an 8" barrel. I have always wondered if it would harvest a white tail, but alas it is not legal in Indiana, where I hang my hat. To be legal, the pistol must have a...

I took 5 fox squirrels with a Model 700 Remington BDL .243, using 75 grain JHP's, all head shots, over IMR 30-31. The woods was so dry you couldn't get within 75 yards of a squirrel. I have loaded...
