    Brothers

    Last week my older brother gave me a winchester model 43 in .218 Bee. Today my younger brother gave me 50 pieces of .218 Bee brass. I couldn't ask for two finer brothers. Love both of them.

    What a great thing! Do the three of you shoot together? Family is everything . . . . the three of you are surely blessed!

    Unfortunately we don't shoot together nearly enough as we live a few hours from one another. But, every so often we get together. They however shoot with their kids. It seems my older brother likes 3030 reloading and my younger brother likes shooting .22 hornet. I now have a new favorite, .218 Bee.

    You do have good brothers.
    I’m currently enjoying my late Dad’s 1894CL .218 Bee alongside the H&R/ Tikka lined .218 Bee that I made.
    It’s a polite little round.

    In 2003 I gave my brother one of my kidneys. Told him I wanted a gun. Still waiting.

    If a 41 won't stop it, I wouldn't bet my life on a 44.

    My brother and I used to do some plinking with 22 rifles. I once tried to teach him to shoot clay targets with the shotgun. He could not hit a thing until I threw a target straight into the wind where it stayed still for a moment; he bagged that one. Then we went home. His wife, on the other hand was hitting skeet birds inside of twenty rounds.
