Both the Japanese and Italian lag behind the 6.5 Swede, 260 Remington, and the 6.5 Creedmoor. Ok, ok you were joking I get it.
I am in the mountains without my books, but you stirred my curiosity. I wonder how close the Grendel is to the Arisaka?
I can do that.
I have been shooting a lot of ELD-X and VLD. I go to the Berger VLD when I want to make sure they will open at long range. I tried the ELD-X in my 300 Win mag, but am sticking to the 210 Berger.
I used the 178 gr ELD-X in my 300 WSM for bear in Montana. 400 yards, in front...
After all the talk I was careful on the 4th when I opened the umbrella on the patio. Sure enough there is Mrs. Yellow jacket in take off position setting on the beginning of a new nest. She never picked up on a heat signature of my Leatherman as it stalked her small brain bucket.
Ditto fj40. The left don't like to mention God, but when Bush did it and the people liked it they decided they may have to say it too. Now the left even pretends to respect the military. Happy Birthday USA, and may God bless you with many more.
I have pulled a large plastic leaf bag over the next after dark them tied it up and injected spray through a small hole. If your in the country nothing is more fun than a load of eight shot at 20 yards at night. A big weed burner is great if they are in reach. Not connected to your house that...
In high school during Christmas break I had drove through some deep snow to get to an old abandoned farm that always had cottontails. I had never walked past the old house and snow had banked up deep on the west side. As I walked around that side the ground dropped out from under me. The snow...
One thing about being over seventy you don't laugh as hard about the old joke "If I had known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself".
Your right one big ------. Someone made a good point about developing alternative energy. I'm all for developing it, but not subsidizing it when it's inefficient. One day we will run out of oil, but not likely in the next few hundred years. However we should prepare for the sake of our...
Carpin you can't pick and choose. Sure there are many snow geese, but we don't have those here in North Dakota.
My phone is changing things on me Carp In. Thought I would let you know so you wouldn't need spend time on one of you grammar and spelling lessons.
Not being able to read and...
Fritz of course they followed the plow everyone unferstands that, but now when the soil is turned they don't follow because there are no earthworms. Go dig in a field and see what you find. Anyone can do that and check it out.
Kurtr of course most of those animals were driven off his area...
I hope your joking. If we could look at a section of land in 1800 here in North Dakota we would see bison, elk, antelope, even plains grizzly. What is here today? When I was a kid on the farm South of Devils Lake thousands of gulls would follow the tractor, now none do because chemicals have...
My intended point was yes I do suspect zebra mussels could be transported that way. As far as minnows maybe unicorns. :::

How the heck do I get double posts? The first one looked like it didn't go do I hit post reply again.
I don't think many species hitch rides on birds. Some do. I think what people are calling fresh water shrimp are Amphiods. We have two species Gammarus lacustris and Hyalella aztecs. Both have the unusual behavior of attaching themselves to other animals. A fellow biologist shot a duck one...
When the tree is older don't use Sevin when they are in blossom. If you have a crab apple that's making a mess in your yard dust it with Sevin when it is in blossom. Somehow it tricks the blossoms into thinking they have been pollinated and you get zero apples.
I guess I'm s pessimist or something because I carry an extra hub with bearings in my tool box. I also had to add air bags with onboard compressor even though I have a 3/4 ton diesel. My 5th wheel puts 2300 lb in my box.
The biggest concern is gear ratio. My old 350 GMC with 373 gears just didn't cut it. If I had put in 411 it would have pulled like a 3/4 ton, but a light and fragile 3/4 ton.
