    New Weatherby Rifle

    I haven't had the chance to shoot a Weatherby rifle yet. But I have seen first hand how much of a difference there can be from gun to gun with powerful cartridges. To date, the least comfortable rifle I have ever shot was a Winchester M70 in 458 WM.

    I imagine that would depend heavily on the rifle it was being fired from.

    Living Dangerously

    I could go like many of my co-workers, slowly dying from cancer after a life of factory work. Or I could risk getting flattened by a truck on the highway. If I'm lucky I might even get killed hunting dangerous game... But sadly that is less likely than the truck while riding my bike. I have...

    New Weatherby Rifle

    I've often thought it would be neat to get a rifle in 378 WBY but it's never been high on my list. Not sure about there rifles, have never shot one.

    How did I do? 375 & 416

    Now that you have a 375 and a 416, you're going to need a 458 or 470. Then we can talk about your future 500.

    Any gin drinkers here?

    Well I was at the store last night and somehow a bottle Hendrick's ended up in the cart. Not sure how it got there but I'm assuming @BeeMaa and @spike.t, along with the other enablers here, had something to do with it.

    Interest in doing a shoot in NW USA?

    I live out in the woods, I haven't been to a range in years.

    I'm thinking July or August but I'm open to other ideas.

    If we shoot in WA, see the post above yours. Otherwise it will depend on others. Time frame will depend on what works best for most.

    Interest in doing a shoot in NW USA?

    @channelkat if we want to shoot in WA, we can shoot near my home in Oso. This would depend on how many people come of course. I also know some places further down HWY 530.

    Interest in doing a shoot in NW USA?

    You cover the plane ticket and lodging, and I'd be happy to join you for some shooting :). Otherwise I need somewhere within a days drive, money has been pretty tight lately. Heck if I can find a way to strap my 8-bore onto the motorcycle, then that is how I plan to get to this shoot.

    Interest in doing a shoot in NW USA?

    As the title says, I'm looking to meet up with some fellow AH members and do some target shooting. Anyone interested?

    Why you don't trust others reloads!

    Might have been fine... But your call was correct. Never trust a strangers hand loads.

    Slow burning powder and a 23" barrel

    Looks like you're having fun! I miss my 505 Gibbs.

    Spoke with Bill at Swift Bullets yesterday

    Many people don't seem to know how many of the illegals function in the US. At least I don't see it talked about. I grew up in an area with lots of illegals. People will cross the open border. Work jobs at or below minimum wage, then when they feel they made enough, they go back to their home...
