They were dumped in Yellowstone and in the Frank Church Wilderness in Idaho as an "experimental, non-essential, population and when 10 breeding pairs in each state were established for several...

Don't overlook H335. I get my best accuracy with it using the RCBS 35-200
Yes Accurate Molds are works of art. I just got one in 460405VG and now I glance at my mold box wishing they were all made by Tom.

Thanks. I used to care for it as John Allen stated in his post. Figured the pressures will be higher with smokeless and just wanted to make sure all was well. I had full length resized a couple...

Does anyone use the same brass for smokeless and BP? I've always separated the brass for BP exclusively. I no longer shoot BPCR and want to use in in my lever guns with smokeless.

I gave up on Midway several years ago so wouldn't know. Midsouth and Brownells work fine.

I've settled on the Lyman and Speer manuals and the Hodgdon site on the internet. They seem to cover just about all the information that I need. I started out with the Lyman manual in the 1960s and...

I've replaced front and rear sights on all my lever guns. Went with the Lyman M17 on the .32 H&R and Marbles flo. red pipe on the 45/70. Flo green on the .357 and .35 Remington. The flo. green...

I have both the Lyman 358315 and RCBS .35-200-FN. I like the RCBS design better and get better accuracy from it in my 336D.

I've been using Lyman 358156 cast 60/40 ww/lt sized .360, over 15.5 gr H110, CCI 550 primer for 1788 fps. Accuracy is excellent. Just Lubed/sized 750 of these this morning and my fingers were...

I've had a total of four. A single six purchased in 1985, a S&W M16 that should have never left the factory, an SP101, and a Marlin Cowboy. Still have the single six and the Marlin. Fun guns and a...

A lot has changed since 2008. The IF&G will now sell you an additional non resident tag so you can get two bulls! Come out, buy two tags and let us all know how you did.

I would ask the outfitter what his success rate is for the last 5 years by year and for a list of clients from the last two or three years. Like anyone else he's going to give you the names of the...

I'd try the Colorado hunt. Not sure about New Mexico's tag availability. Idaho has lot's of unsold nonresident tags but few elk since the 1996 die off and the reintroduction of wolves. It's pretty...

Congratulations! Nothing wrong with a little assist in packing them out. I still have a photo of a Potlatch company crew with 4 bulls hanging on the side of a Madill yarder.

I had a tang safety M77 .338 I bought in 1985 that wouldn't keep 3 shots on a 5X7" index card at 100 yards. I tried everything from 275 gr Speers to 200 gr (lightest available at the time) and...

I agree, it's foolish to go out, drive the prices up and supplies down based on fear of what might happen. Want to spend the money smart? Send half of it to the NRA, put the other half in your...
