    Still worth buying a 338 WinMag if I own a 375?

    Yes it does. It's serves the purpose with acceptable to me velocity loss. I found a used RUM at a good price, so I bought it. 2700 fps with 250 gr bullet with 21.25" barrel. Velocity went up after I removed the front two magnaport cuts. I cut an inch at a time shooting over a chrono tracking...

    Still worth buying a 338 WinMag if I own a 375?

    Agreed, I have both as well. Mine is a 338 Ultra with a shortened barrel. It's perfect for packing around elk country.

    Fatal Arizona Bear attack

    You don't have to give up the 1911. I love my Comander size 45 ACP, carry it everywhere. I actually shoot the 10mm Govt size better.

    Winter kill on Wyoming deer

    The drive from Baggs Wyoming to Craig Co and over to Vernal was horrible. Winter kill the whole way across, on the shoulder of the road, and far as you could see if you spot them hung up in a fence ect. Some areas it looks like a mass die off, but possibly plowed together when they cleared the...

    Back country carry gun

    Haven't thought about being disabled, I'll have to consider my options here. I carry a 1911 in a serpa, Underwood penetrators in .45 ACP. The Glock 10mm is to big for my girly hands. I have a Kimber 1911 in 10mm I do like. However, the 45 is my go to.

    Scout Scope Upgrade (to Burris 2-7×32)

    I have the same scope, love it. It has taken some abuse as my son was coming up as a hunter without issue. With the 16.25" barrel 150 gr factory TTSX's line up with the 100, 200 and 300 yard hash marks. Scope on 7x 100 yard zero. 400 mark is way high haven't tried adjusting the zero. 349 yards...

    Anybody have any paranormal or supernatural experiences to share??? Firsthand or second?

    This "situation" has enough of a physical presence in the house to set off the motion detecting cameras, alarm motions, and has caused the smoke detectors to go off. This is a still from recorded videos. The Mrs watched a cloud float by live when checking out the house. This camera picked up the...

    Wanted 450 Alaskan Reloading Die Set

    You may be better off calling them. When I called I spoke to a few older gentlemen. They may not be the best at returning emails? It took a few shots to get the full card number on paper. Great resource, they know what they are talking about.

    Lesson learned, be cautious

    I wasn't aware the ammo was handloaded till I saw the high primers. They were boxed in Superior and Hendershots which meant nothing. Due safety and due diligence was a must after that. I'm sure I pulled 12 that were "probably " safe. The crimp was extremely tight and not a roll crimp, every...

    Lesson learned, be cautious

    I purchased approximately 120 loaded 500 Jeffrey cartridges from a member here. I dug some out to let a few friends experience the rifle and recoil. With some pre shot coaching they handled it well! However before the first round was fired I noticed high primers. Sorting through the cartridges...

    Model 70 375

    If you have the money available, I'd say buy it and get shooting. You need to put the rifle through it's paces before hunting with it.
