    Adjusting Sights On a Levergun

    No problem I also apologize for miss judging your intent. The world is so full of keyword geniuses that we often get touchy. The best handgun writter I enjoyed was Skeeter Skelton. There was another fellow from Wyoming that liked the single shot handguns in rifle cartridges, but I forget his...

    Adjusting Sights On a Levergun

    The articles were published the same year and he was talking about how far the guns were lethal not accuracy. Thirty years ago few used scopes on pistols and I still remember his custom Ruger Blackhawk with a five inch barrel and some type of legal ivory grips. I dont remember the gunsmith...

    6.5 Match in Ballistic Gel

    If I remember correctly the old X bullets before the poly tips said mushrooming occurred down to 1700 fps. I remember their original advertisement for the poly tips. They said enhanced ballistic coefficient and the tip initiated expansion. I still have four boxes of X bullets on hand. I...

    Adjusting Sights On a Levergun

    I have number of globe front sights by Lyman like he is talking about. They have interchangable blades and I like a thin squared off blade. His recommended 150 yards for this type of rifle reminded me of an article I Outdoor Life 30 years ago. I have been trying since yesterday to remember...

    6.5 Match in Ballistic Gel

    300 Win mag groups under .2 inch with hunting bullets. I shoot coyotes with match because they are $3 cheaper per 100. I also kill a lot of steel so like to shoot something that shoots like my hunting bullet, but cost less.

    6.5 Match in Ballistic Gel

    The only one I ever recovered sure was pretty. It's a little worn after ten years on my keychain.

    6.5 Match in Ballistic Gel

    - - - Updated - - - Same here. At one time I thought the old X bullet was the best thing since sliced bread. I never had a deer drop in its tracks unless I destroyed skeletal structure. As I have said many times X bullets expend half their energy on the hillside beyond the deer. After a...

    6.5 Match in Ballistic Gel

    That was extremely interesting. Last year at 500 yards I put a 140 ELD-M through the chest of a coyote and it ran 300 yards. Seven or eight minutes later after walking out to it I had to shoot it in the head with a 22 pistol. Maybe a coyote just didn't have enough resistance to open it up...

    Favorite Gun in your safe thread

    Was I in the sane hospital room as you, in Fargo, in about 1964?

    Favorite Gun in your safe thread

    You didn't loose half mine that I loaned to you did you? You scoundrel. A boating accident over the Mariana trench I assume.

    Favorite Gun in your safe thread

    A fellow I worked with bought a couple of those Martini on the cheap in Australia back in the 1970s. We sure missed out on some good purchases. Another fellow I worked with, his father owned a hardware store and had taken in original muzzleloaders back in the 1950 s. He said his dad got sick...

    Favorite Gun in your safe thread

    I have to go along with Skeeter on this one. Not only does it depend on the need at hand, but also your mood. I know everyone thinks I shoot long range only, but often I grab a single shot 45/70 or a lever 44. I normally have five or six rifles along on a deer hunt. One year three of us...

    Allen I had a highschool classmate that had a coon dick toothpick on a gold chain around his neck. He liked telling the girls what it was.

    Tim wells

    My grandson met Tim Wells this summer at an archery tourney in Superior, Wisconsin. He said the guy is an absolute hoot. This reminds me I have a 38 caliber blowgun somewhere. I will need to find it. It's amazingly accurate at ten yards. It's hard to believe that your breath can push a dart...

    No sir that deer is not a tirty pointer but is actually a 57 pointer

    Some of those old Buffalo hunters could really reach out with a Sharp's and other old rifles. At the second battle of Adobe Walls and with a couple dozen witnesses Billy Dixon shot an Indian off his horse at 7/8 mile. Kurt how can you compare long range with penned animals. Long range...

    No sir that deer is not a tirty pointer but is actually a 57 pointer

    I completely agree. The anti hunting crowd loves to portray all hunters as those who shoot Bambi fenced in and eating out of the owners hand while we stick the gun barrel in Bambis ear. While disease is of great concern the public image endangers an American heritage. Actually you don't...

    Youth Deer Season

    Good times CatDaddy. I had a grandson out this week-end. He thinks my 6.5 Creedmoor is the cats meow. He wasn't wild about dragging the deer, but the landowner drove over with his tractor and said dump it in the bucket. He crossed the small creek with the tractor and dropped it right at the...

    No sir that deer is not a tirty pointer but is actually a 57 pointer

    I have heard that argument many times, but it makes no sense. Think about it. At one time nearly everything was legal. The old west had opium houses. Shoukd we have taken that away from people who were doing it legally? If you remember the original Coca-Cola had a lot more kick. Shoukd we...

    No sir that deer is not a tirty pointer but is actually a 57 pointer

    I guessed that, and from that point of view I woukd agree. On the other hand I think conservatives are for banning some things. It depends on our point of view. For example I would ban citizenship for anyone who entered this country illegally. I would ban abortion. I would ban ANTIFA from...
