    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    I admire high power/service rifle shooters. At 600 yards, the 10 ring is what? 12 inches? It’s not every shooter that can put 20 shots in it. It doesn’t sound impressive from an arithmetic standpoint to some of the “long range” crowd to put 20 shots into a 12" circle at 600. It's 2 MOA, no...

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    Trip again and fall into a 7x57. I’m not a .284 man myself, but you obviously need a 7x57.

    Want a canoe, know nothing about them

    Good considerations. I feel that a 16’ Mad River Explorer is a good all around choice. Having said that, some will have good reasons to go longer or shorter, or with some other style or brand. Still, if you’re starting out and are unsure what’s best for you, the 16’ Explorer is a solid place...

    Wolf lawsuit against US Fish and Wildlife

    The opposition also has realistic images. They're anxious to use them. And they're far ahead in the PR battle. It just keeps getting worse, with new stuff coming out daily...

    Food Recommendations for staying full and losing weight

    The old school bodybuilding "cutting" diet is steak and eggs, cooked in butter, morning and evening. A simple salad with oil and vinegar should be added to the evening meal. Once or twice a week a high carb meal is added to make energy levels jump back up. Vince Gironda was the man with the...

    Shooting prone

    Pay attention now, because I'm a seasoned antelope hunting expert, having killed exactly one. I shot it at 300 yards, kneeling, off of shooting sticks. The sagebrush in the area I was hunting did not permit a prone position.

    Wolf lawsuit against US Fish and Wildlife

    Agreed. That's my main point. They will use it to the max. Link: https://cowboystatedaily.com/2024/04/10/advocacy-groups-could-use-wolf-torment-story-to-push-for-re-listing-wolves/?fbclid=IwAR3eNkVPtNqnc_iSpAWAJfksvheLwUMryQLF7ped1yQpISy1nn9_7ZTdRbc

    Wolf lawsuit against US Fish and Wildlife

    That breaking game laws has a negative impact and negative consequences reaching far beyond local hunters and the local wildlife population. That breaking game laws results in more than the penalty for the law, it results in anti-hunters and environmental extremists using said broken laws as...

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    I have two '94 .30-30s. One with a 20" barrel and one with a 26" barrel. Both have an octagonal barrel and a saddle ring. They will be shot. They will not be shot a lot.

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    Oh, I'm on board with big bores. I just don't see the point of in betweens. For instance, if I feel like I need something more than the .270 or .30-06 class, I'm going up to a .375 or better. What I wouldn't do is pick one of the various 7s, 8s, 33s, 35s, etc.

    Wolf lawsuit against US Fish and Wildlife

    Environmental groups, over 10 of them, have filed a lawsuit against the US Fish and Wildlife Service because US F&W said wolves do not need Endangered Species Act protection in Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. This was expected. The environmental groups also took the opportunity to quote the...

    Caliber Crystal Ball - Can you predict the future?

    Unlikely, as long as the things that get hit with it keep laying down to die. But seriously, I'll be the first to admit to liking the history of the .270 Winchester. So the nostalgia thing is real. But beyond nostalgia, it was and is a solid performer. It will pretty much do what a .30-06...

    Caliber Crystal Ball - Can you predict the future?

    The "space" that exists between the ears of shooters who suffer from perpetual PWII - Preoccupation With Inconsequential Increments. The cool factor and novelty. Nothing practical.

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    No one doubts .270 Winchester will be here 30 years from now. If that's not enough oommpphh, .270 Weatherby will likely be here too. Now, how about .270 WSM and 6.8 Western? Gets a little less sure in the minds of most, doesn't it? So, if you have heirloom in mind .......
