    Buy Ammo Now... Hillary Cometh

    I have had guys tell me I am a harder. No I am not, I bought my stuff in the pre-Obama's because I knew this would happen. I still buy new products that are improvements. That actually helps people looking for bullets, powder, and primers now. Some don't u Der stand that, or they just want...

    Forgotten Woodsmanship Skills

    I still like to start a fire with friction once in a while just to prove to myself I can do it. Perhaps one of the things I enjoy most is making a meal with just wild things that I pick. Wild edible plants has been a hobby with me for 45 years or more. One of my deputy friends who passed away...

    Type of action for youth .22

    I like all of the guns people mentioned, but I remember when I was a kid and that influenced me with my kids. While in early high school the Remington 66 came out. A good friend got one for Christmas. The rest of us kids were stuck with single shots and bolt actions. Whenever we went hunting...

    Lake Tschida camping spot to close

    Allen it doesn't sound much different than the Game and Fish requiring people to have their ice house off the lake at a designated date. We don't call the Game and Fish another branch of gov because of that, nor do we consider it unreasonable. To often gov agencies are hated because of what...

    Lake Tschida camping spot to close

    I would say that is the key. If they can't camp on BOR land they have to come to him. Same reason the landowners in Montana passed a law against corner hopping.

    Handlaoding

    The Saeco cast a very uniform bullet. I push it to 2000 fps sometimes. I have been thinking about getting the heated base for my RCBS lubrisizer so I can use the hard lubes. With the soft lubes I don't like to lube until I am ready to load. I have noticed the lube sort of dries out if you...

    Montana Launches Hunting Ethics Campaign Following Conflicts Last Season

    Run into that twice myself. In Colorado we set up camp three days before season to scout. A half dozen guys set up camp 100 yards from us and built a tent out of clear plastic. They were pouring water on the stove and sitting in there naked drinking whiskey and playing cards. The next day...

    Scope reticles?

    Since we are talking about reticles I will also recommend Strelock+. I use shooter most often, but if I want to use my reticle I go to Strelock+ on my phone. It works very well for a second focal plane because it gives you a bar at the bottom of the picture of the reticle. You can slide it...

    Idaho Spring Bear Hunt

    I was out in Montana ten days ago. I got a stent last October so didn't want to walk that much. I would drive as high as I could in an FJ Cruiser. That took me to 6000 ft most of the time. I found a nice spot where I could watch three drainages with 300 yard wide bottoms with green grass...

    Scope reticles?

    It depends on the rifle for me. For a while I was putting mildot on everything. On my AR 223 with 75 gr the bullet drop reticle in the 3X9 Nikon works very well to 600 yards. I have two scopes for my 300WSM. A 4.5x14 with mildot, and the new Vortex Strike Eagle 1X6 reticle with light. The...

    Redneck Blinds

    I had five bucks in my yard last summer. My wife didn't much like them eating her flowers. I put up a tree stand the week before rifle season and that's about the last time I seen any of them. I never did get a pic of the largest one. He was here only a week. Long enough to girdle a six...

    hunting bullets for 308 winchester

    svn mag don't feel left out, buy some of these and really read with your seven. You can get them loaded to. Hornady calls them the Precision Hunter. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/122348/hornady-eld-x-bullets-284-caliber-7mm-284-diameter-162-grain-boat-tail-box-of-100 If you want to step...

    Abuse

    I can see a problem with four people. I lay mine in the back seat just like you. I have had more people then left the guns cased in the pickup box. I guess if you want to keep them with you and have four guys it's more safe muzzle down. I think I would make a sleeve for the muzzle so it...

    Abuse

    I will second Kurts remarks about damage cleaning. I will say it's different with different barrels. I don't know why but those Bartlein don't need to be cleaned often. It also depends on how much you shoot, the velocity of your loads, the grains of powder in each load etc. In my handguns...

    I have a tight custom chamber so I am loading one grain under max from my manual. That's 44 gr of Varget.

    hunting bullets for 308 winchester

    Shot everything you mentioned. I like long range so ballistic coefficient is important to me. I recently switched to the 178 ELD-X by Hornady. They shoot great, but I have not put them to the test yet on game. I guess no one has they just came out. Hard to find, but I picked up a couple...

    Handgun hunting

    Squirrels with a Ruger 10/45 and suppressor. A couple of deer with the 357, then went to the 44 mag. One deer with the 45ACP. The 44 is sure versatile I think. Nine gr of Unique below a 240 cast will kill everything from cottontail to deer. Averages about 1100 fps. Doesn't blow up...

    Abuse

    People who neglect to clean their firearms. Stainless was a Godsend for some people. It still needs to be cleaned once in a while. Another abuse is those people who stick their gun in the pickup barrel down against the floor. A floor they have tracked rocks and dirt into. You look at their...
