    It seems to me like your focus is having something fairly light weight, in a handy size, for doing short range work on a relatively tough critter. Were it my decision to make, I'd consider acquisition of another rifle in a caliber that won't be handicapped by a short barrel, while also being...

    Ways to pinch pennies

    Don't get married, and don't have kids. You'll be AMAZED at how much more money and free time you have to spend on yourself compared to your friends! If you already did one, or both... there's always clipping coupons... 😏

    Anybody ever use this in your white gas stove?

    I always just used gasoline, usually like to charcoal filter it first to remove the "gunk". Still, don't want to leave it in there too long.

    DIY biscuits and gravy?

    When I think of "dehydrated biscuits", I think of a bag of flower! Lol! And you don't need much else to make biscuits and gravy, besides a little baking powder, salt, and some oil or grease. Milk is helpful. Look up recipes for "drop biscuits"...Granny used to call them "Cathead Biscuits"...

    What the closest face-to-face encounters you've had with animals while hunting?

    At what point does reloading payoff?

    Payoff for me was instant...confirmed my suspicion that I'd like it, and I was hooked! Don't know that I actually save any money, especially now that I shoot more. But I can tune a load for each rifle or handgun that is MUCH more accurate than most anything from factory, and that's satisfying...

    Savage Axis Upgrade

    Have an Axis in .308. Tried several different factory loads, and it made little difference...printed 10" groups at 100. That's not a typo...10 INCHES! Thought I had a bad barrel! Then, having little to lose, the action and full barrel were bedded. Took up some of the space in the cavernous...
