    Ruger No.1

    Of course you do! We all do. Our best bet is to make a stellar first shot, to avoid putting the PH in the spot where he feels the need to throw down. If our first shot is not great, all bets are off. The PH will be ready to jump in, whether we want him to, or not!

    findbullionprices.com It is the ammoseek.com of PM purchasing. My simple rules: Stick with recognized mints, preferably sovereign (90% of my stuff is sovereign, often with security to help prevent counterfeiting) Buy from reputable dealers. The big on line guys often have great deals, buy...

    Best Rimmed Double rifle cartridges for plains game?

    300 Flanged Magnum Dies and Brass

    I did get some Bertram cases from Buffalo Arms Co. The ID on the necks are really on the minimum side! I had to anneal the run an expander button through to open them up so I could seat bullets without the dreaded off-center bulge forming on the neck. So far I have just made up a dummy for...
