    .308/7.62 NATO load recommendations

    I shoot a 185 gr Burger VLD with Varget to 1000 yards. I went heavy when a military sniper told me the 175 SMK would stay supersonic to 1000 yards, but the 168 would not because of the lower ballistic coefficient. The higher ballistic coefficient makes up for slightly lower velocity. I have a...

    "stillhunting" binocs?

    The 8X32 Meopta Meostar that I looked through I thought were better than Swarovski at half the price. I just bought 10X42 Vortex Razors and I am still wondering if I should have bought the Meopta.

    True black friday coming NASA says.

    The guy who wrote the hoax has to be as dumb as a stump. No sunshine for days and the earth will warm up? I think the author may have been Al Gore.

    shooting VLD's

    No, you can neck size only. If you use full length sizing dies and following their directions your perhaps setting back .003 to .005 inches. The problem with not sizing is every once in a while one will chamber very hard and you don't want that happening with mr big in front of you. If you...

    Winterizing

    Hmm now I wonder about my gas. Last time I filled was at the bait shop at Grahams Island. I dumped in a can of seafoam, took out my depth finders, and put 1 amp battery tenders on all the batteries. The half the garage the boat is in isn't heated, but I have so far never had a mouse in it...

    shooting VLD's

    I shoot Berger VLD in six different rifles. They all like the bullet about .004 off the lands. Your going to need a bullet comparator to set that up. The hybrids are not as picky, but then they are not a hunting bullet either. Of those six rifles I mentioned none shoot a group larger than...

    F'n beavers!!!!

    Dynamite must last a long time. Our neighbor who passed away six or seven years ago touched of two or three sticks in beaver dams every spring. I don't know how long it has been that a farmer can buy dynamite, but he has been blasting beaver dams as long as I can remember. He died, the kid...

    I have shot a lot of beaver with a 22lr over the past 50 years. Head shots 99% of the time.

    Greatful and Sad

    Ya when dad worked off the farm and I was to little to pull a calf I would drive the new 1949 Nash Rambler out to the middle of the pasture and carefully pull them with that.

    Greatful and Sad

    gst I certainly don't blame you for posting in your situation. I would too. I have also heard stories like you mention. Every Tom Dick and Harry wounded a buck and wants to check on it. I have even seen four guys walking abreast pushing deer when one guy had a camera and a van sits on the...

    Greatful and Sad

    I think you hit on the reason why many are angry with non residents. It's not that we don't like them, but when they come from Minneapolis and give a farmer $1000 to hunt his land for a week he shuts off everyone else, often including friends. It's getting more like Texas every year. I...

    How to collect a yellowjacket hive

    Garbage bag at night is a good idea. Then put some insecticide in the bag. Many insects survive extended freezing. I always bag and use insecticide on coyotes too.

    Soaking Meat in Fridge

    Speaking of old timers my grandfather hung ducks on the north side of the barn with guts in for three days. It sounds nuts, but I remember thinking grandpa had the best tasting ducks of anyone. Tried it with field dressed grouse once. Very good.

    I Don't Fault the G&F

    Me either, I guess that's why they don't sell it. I don't much care for it either, but don't blame the Game and Fish. I think this decision is made by the legislature. I think they tell the Game and Fish they have to release records. Could be wrong. Anyone?

    Spotted Wing Drosophila = BASTARDS

    I had a problem with my tomatoes that looked like that and a lady told me it was soil chemistry from compost. She told me to put a small scoup of bone meal in the bottom of the hole when I plant. I have no idea what the problem was, but I fon't have it when using bone meal. My damage was...

    6.5 creedmoor

    The 6.5 Swede is very good, but for some reason never caught on. Likewise with the 260 Remington. Long tange shooters have been using the 6.5 x 284 Norma with great success, but sportsmen have not flocked to it. The Creedmoor is ballistically nearly identicle to the 6.5 Swede and 260...

    Sugar Beats for Dinner

    I recently noticed in stores the soda is saying made with real sugar. It's about time they stop poisoning us with that chemically made high fructose corn syrup. Your supporting agriculture with either product so lets support the one that doesn't make you gut hang over your belt like a plastic...
