    Favorite Non-alcoholic drink

    This is one of my favorites. As others have commented on how much sugar is in most soft drinks I too watch how much I consume. But these guys are just so refreshing without all the junk.

    25-06 Rem in Africa

    I’ve owned 2 weatherby vanguards. The first one was a 25-06 weighed 9.75 lb with a Nikon monarch scope. The black plastic stock on it was so ugly I always said I would put a different on on it but it shot so good I never could change it. I once killed a 12 oz mt dew can at 400 yds with 4...

    22-250 for monkey, baboon and small cat

    Same here. Just couldn’t justify paying double when the vmax worked so good. But what I did notice is I could kill multiple light framed creatures if they were lined up with the vmax where as the vg would transfer 100% to the inside of the first one.

    22-250 for monkey, baboon and small cat

    Preferred powder for 25-'06?

    Your right there wasn’t. The sad part was it took 12 shots to hit it the first time cause my scope was twisted ever so slightly. If I remember correctly been more then 10 yrs ago but it was around 3000 and 3300 fps

    Preferred powder for 25-'06?

    56 gr of RL 22 and a 100 gr ttsx would shoot .5 moa out of my weatherby vanguard. 117 gr hornady sp liked h4831 sc in my experience. I once killed a 12 ounce mtn dew can with 4 consecutive shots at 400 yds from a bipod with the 117 gr h 4831sc combo

    How many people have a 35 whelen?

    These arguments tickle me[emoji23]. I keep waiting for someone to pull out their 338 win and show us.

    6.8lb 45-70

    Just for clarification I am not interested in the muzzleloader barrel in the least. Probably try to sell it. But it does have the full plastic jacket insert. All I want is the 45-70
