I was quite saddened to see this. I never did get to meet him in person but we were Facebook friends and i had the opportunity to speak to him occasionally. I valued his opinions on both guns and how...
Not much to add to this, but i have probably reloaded more .44 Magnum than any other round, and almost all of them (95%+) were a 240-250 gr boolit with 9.5gr of Unique. I started loading just because...

Title is the short of it. The long of it is that a couple of years back I bought a GP-100 .22 to replace my blasted MKIII, which is a 10 shot .22lr that is built on the GP-100 .357 frame with a...

Obenhofs is what I use, since it won't break down or rot leather. Once a month in the summer when it is dry and as needed in winter to maintain water resistance. And it smells good. Basically beeswax...

That is a very nice lion! Very few taken that size without hounds for sure, most of the incidental take is young lions. I have yet to take one myself and only want one, but I hunt them with my...

One more thing to add to this, out of earshot of my cardiologist. We typically make it with whole milk, or cream if we have it, evaporated (Carnation) milk if that's all I have. But growing up, my...

No worries, I just got another set of .270 Win dies from a friend (Herter's) and found a couple more boxes of bullets. That, with the brass pledged, means I have enough to help two kids with a die...
