The 06 is the supreme being for hunting in north america and most other places as well except for the big dangerous game species for the intended OP. It will even work on those species from blind or...

I hope you don’t mind me being a little eccentric. Does it have to be a new rifle? Generally I would bring the 257 Bob into the equation, but since elk and bear may be considered something a little...
32 win, 35 XCB ?, 35 rem, 356 win, 358 win, 38-55 win, 375 win, 38-40 win, 44 rem mag. All could be cast reloaded for deer/bear as well as pistola lead and pistol or shotgun powder for low velocity...

I had a couple of ducks snatched by those eagles. One was on the Au Sable, I think it was a Goldeneye, that flew about 200 yds before it dropped in the water. I said to my partner "well let's get the...

At what velocity threshold does pure Pb deform into the mushroom? For example, using a BruceB soft point in a rifle or low velocity handgun cartridges like the 38 spec, 380, 44 spec, 45 ACP,...
Seems like the Desert Eagle cut in on the AM niche, but it didn't come with 15" barrels. To bad they couldn't have modified the clip a little to accept the 284 Win case. That case cut to length and...
It's definitely a hand cannon. A guy let me shoot one once back in '78 at a gun range I was a member of. Two hand hold off the 4' carpeted bench board at the range put 5 shots in a 2" group near the...
Back in the 70s I used to shoot quite a bit of 357 target loads with a school/neighbor bud. We tried numerous powders and finally stuck with GD. We pushed a 158 gr SWC about 1050 fps and it was quite...
Very interesting. IMO it seems as if the 44 special is a handloader’s cartridge. But, it seems as if it has certain issues with its variety of scenarios. For instance, if it was reloaded for the...
Interesting. A bit of info gathering if I ever get around to scratching the itch is the mode I am in now. I also have thoughts on the Ruger 7. Being able to shoot the 32 maggie in the 327 is a plus,...
Do you think with a 4" S&W or Ruger DA it would be accurate enough for a CBA Postal Match? or in that 2" range @ 50 yds?
I always wanted one from back in the late 70s. Back then revolvers were more of the fad compared to the semi autos of today. But, from what I have on off tangents on youtube and the forums it seems...
How did a CA Bull Dog thread turn into bickering about load data from different eras and data origins and writings for the last three pages. How about getting back on subject about the ole CA Bull...
@ Rogerdat, Yes, it can be mind boggling with all the components & data for the 12 & 20 especially if you are loading for multiple guns. Where a lot of this vast expansion of criteria is used is in...

Happy New Year all you silver streamers. I went on and still on a John Wayne movie fest since yesterday. All of his westerns from the 70s and 60s are on the menu with seeing a bunch of the silver...
Well, I suppose I am going to get flamed on this one, but I think wildcatters with the shotshell have improved general shotgunning and specialty loads for many. A bit of factory ammo has had its...
Just for the heck of it, if you are not, let me be less specific, using some form of softer wad column and temperature sensitive powder in COLD temps, not referring to any in particular and you look...

Should have had a telescoping spinning rod with a few spinners or woolly buggers to catch a few trout there. Nothing wrong with surf & turf. Congrats

Good evening gentlemen. I think you are kinda putting the cart before the horse on the projectile technology thesis. Especially with wad style slugs. The better ones are the Buckhammer style slugs...
