    Favorite hunting rifle/caliber

    My Ruger M77 in 280Rem for my primary rifle using handloaded 160gr Nosler Partitions. I bring my Marlin .444 along with me as well if I'm going to be still hunting in thick woods where I might get a quick "jumpshot" as it's open sighted. I've had very good success with both out west where I...

    Let me see your fancy Barbecue Guns

    I guess if I had a true BBQ gun it'd be my nice little S&W Mod 10!

    What did you shoot today?

    It was "45 day" at the range! That's my great uncle Tom's issued WWI(made in 1914) 1911 which he took to Europe with him...and more importantly returned! The others are a Gold Cup and my "Franken 45" which is a Colt NM barreled action on an Essex frame. I've all intentions of porting it...

    Let me see your fancy Barbecue Guns

    Having spent most my summers as a kid in central Texas(Brownwood/Golthwaite) and going to a LOT of BBQ's(including our own cooked in a literal pit covered with a wagon)....I never felt the need to be armed!lol! A few BBQ's I would have liked to have shot the pitmaster for ruining a perfectly...

    "I didn't carry my gun because you are"

    The key part of "Concealed Carry" is the "CONCEALED". Both physically and verbally.

    Share your 2021 hunting season go to loads

    My "Go to" is my .280 Rem; 54gr IMR 4350. 160gr Nosler Partition. CCI Large Rifle primer. Pushes around 2900fps Very nearly 7mm Rem Mag velocity. My Ruger M77 loves it. It's been the only round I've hunted with in that rifle since 1988. MOA out to 200, just over at 300 but has taken a...

    What Do You Carry?

    My new EDC. Taurus G2C. 12 round 9mm and very comfortable to carry IWB on my hip. Very small print. So far after a couple hundred rounds, accurate and very reliable.

    What did you shoot today?

    It was 9mm day. Trying out the new load. 115gr XTP over 6.0gr V-N350 Nice load! Worked well in all three.

    What did you shoot today?

    My rifle range days are quickly coming to an end. #1 because of the cool weather and #2 because the range is now crowded with people sighting in their rifles who obviously normally don't shoot. Went out this morning, it was 40deg. Last week at the same time it was 10 deg warmer and only two...

    Are you old enough to remember when firearms were proudly displayed?

    I'm 54 but as a child of the 70's and 80's who split my formative years between Wyoming and Wisconsin, I well remember going to friends houses and seeing the traditional deer, elk or waterfowl engraved glass doored cabinets with hunting rifles and shotguns in them. The "lock" was a single small...

    SCOTUS Justice John Roberts justifying Constitutional Carry?

    Just a quick sidebar; This forum has some of the most intelligent members I've seen in such places. I appreciate everyone's input here and it's obvious the posters here are very knowledgeable regarding your local, state and national regulations. I've been to other boards and read mostly...

    What did you shoot today?

    Shot one of mine two weeks ago. Decided to add a period correct Weaver K3 scope to it! The newer .444 still sports iron sights though. Love those rifles!

    What did you shoot today?

    My Taurus G2C and S&W 642. Joined a closer indoor range for pistol work. I don't mind going out in the cold to shoot my rifles but it's just not as enjoyable to be standing in the wind trying to manipulate a handgun in 40 deg weather. Plus going early on a weekday morning keeps me away from...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Lets see....3 IWB holsters. One for my S&W mod 642, one for my S&W 637 and one for my 2.5" S&W Mod 19. Ordered one box of 9mm 115gr JHP's and one box of .357 110gr JHP's from Midway. Oh, and reduced spring sets for the 642 and Mod 19. Both of which I'll pull apart and "massage" the triggers...

    Oh if you could only see the trail of "trash" we left in our wake between Pearl and the Straits of Juan De Fuca when my ship was heading in to be decommissioned!lol!

    Great day at the range today

    Haven't gotten my 6 year old grandson out to the range yet but he's helping me in the reloading room already! I'll get him out next summer and let him get used to the environment...maybe even take some assisted shots with the .22.

    Primer Pricing

    I don't get all worked up about any of it. Changes nothing. Gas is up, home heating will be up this winter, food prices are heading north....reloading supplies aren't that high on my priority list. "This"(reloading/shooting) is a HOBBY to 99.9% of people on this amateur forum. If you're...

    What have you been shooting?

    Been mounting new scopes, bore sighting and working up loads for a Savage .223, Zastava 7mm-08, Ruger M-77 in both .280Rem and 7mm Rem Mag, Winchester Mod 70 in .308, .300WM and .338WM, and a Marlin 444 in .444 Marlin! Oh, and I did buy a new pistol...a Taurus G2C to see what the hype was...
