I have one of the cva scouts in the Whelen. If you don't get crazy it's not bad. Cast 200 gr. RCBS clone running just about the starting load is fun. For just banging around, pistol bullets around...

I used the Lee whack a mole to load a 6.5x55 Swede that I bought for $39 out of a barrel in the local five and dime when I was a kid. I picked out the best looking bore and then searched through the...

NC is a lot like Texas. Show up, hand over drivers license and CCW permit, along with cash, then pay and fill out the paperwork. Not even a phone call needed.

You should check out the 376 Steyr. It checks your boxes with off the shelf availability of tools and components.

I had lunch yesterday in the small town of Warrenton, Georgia. The restaurant is right in front of the Court House. It's in an old hardware store building. The floors run every direction except...

I can't speak for it's effect on deer, but the 35 Rem. in a CVA single shot has been quite effective on several pigs for me. Sizes from 50 to 250 lbs. I use the Lee 200 gr. RCBS clone, gas checked...

I have a fat, lazy Jack Russell/Feist mix that I spent 6 months trying to train to blood trail. She was not interested. Then I took her with me when I was helping my son track a deer that he had...
Palmetto has a single stage drop in for under a hundred bucks. I bought one to try, and so far I love it. Online reviews are up and down, but so far mine is great.

You can use 35 whelen brass. It forms a false shoulder when you size it. 30-06 will also work, but it needs to be loaded long enough for the bullet to touch the rifling. That holds the round in...
