The first time I hunted in Alberta was about 65 years ago and when I got there there was still ice on the Peace River. Shot giant white tail, mule and moose, Took out a nice griz all on my relatives farm with a 30-06.

This is easy to answer...... You will get to know many things if you just stop and think about it for a while. Of course you can shoot anything on the planet that you want with a a modern 4 bore sxs made by that Smith in Austria, and with the 30,000 + foot pounds it puts out a good shot...

@Philip Glass And now you've got your Cecil B Demill on I got that to enjoy as well. Keep up the good work

No way I'm a "tiny 10" slayer as it just ain't my thing and they look like pets to me, but when it was offered here by a long term member to whack the hell out of one with a big solid out of a 375 hh I had to try as I never shot one with a 300 buster before. Having no tiny 10 running about I...

If a 50 grain round nosed lead bullet coming out of a 22 or hits a ground hog in the chest at 100 yards and blast a hole through him with tail straightening effects knocking him deader than Julius Ceasar then what size diameter weight, and velocity would it take for a deer.... and better yet...

Why would you want to ?

My dream hunt? That's easy. To make a dream hunt possible I would select every guy here who has a real sense of humor, isnt full of himself, understands that an ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure and doesn't spew horse apples out his chops everytime he swills a few water glasses of...

I can tell you what I have used, but I am not some braggard bwanna full of horse apples and attempting to tell anyone what to use on what. For me I can say that for the most part that if I have errors they have been made on the side of what I considered to be safety.....for the most part...

There are many reasons why someone..... anyone..... can't hit their target and make a quick kill at a relatively long distance...... and with that people tend to make up a reason why some guy misses or wound at say 350 yards. But what about those who miss, wound and no matter how many bullets...

As I am an eater of meat , not wanting to waste any I want to take all reasonable shots at the head or the neck. It appears to me that very many people here seem to resist the idea of taking those kinds of shots and some of them appear to have the same objections and say that they in number...

A clean cut guy brought a pre64 in to the crowded store on a really nice Saturday afternoon in the late 80s chambered in 264 which put a smile on my face. He had a great story of how his father had it custom made in 1950 and then was struck feeble by a illness that he contracted in the Pacific...

Yes! The truth..... nice to see and I tip my hat to Bruce, Every year I and a brother from Alabama take a late spring trip to Pennsylvania to slaughter ground hogs before the crops grow too high. It rained quite a bit that week and we set up one of those fold up tent tops with a plastic table...

I think that if it weren't for some of the "real" gun slingers around the world who frequent this site many of the fine old rounds would have disappeared and ones that are not being heavily pushed by major gun manufacturers would have never been heard of. I tip my ragged old ball hat to you all

I built my ok over a decade ago and it has never made it to africa and chances are never will with me anyway as my shot clock is running out. It has made it out of the country and with one well placed 1000 grain pre segmented bore riding hot welded lead core stopped my guide from becoming a...

I have the 244 and 6mm just different twists. If I am killing animals for meat I go out of my way to skull or neck them as to not waste meat and have found that the 6mm doesn't take the whole head off like the 25 06 or the 264 wm does on ocassion. What ruined the popularity of the 244 was the...
