    Hunting season...in Canada

    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.

    How far is too far?

    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...

    Best Caliber for Tiny 10?

    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...

    How far is too far?

    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...

    Best Deer Hunting Round, LOL!

    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...

    Pre-64 Winchester M70 - 9.3x64?

    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...

    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

    My 600 Overkill

    Tell me why buying a Rifle chambered in 6MM Remington is stupid

    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...

    Grease most surely has gotten a very bad name one the years from when it was slicking up the wheels of Conestoga wagons. Fortunately I doubt that any grease is made with clay and oil any longer. Though some of it is still made with animal fats and such which means acids. Everyone says that...

    Is there such a thing as too big?

    Very true, but no matter where you hunt.... no matter what you shoot anywhere in this world you will have people who simply blast away " at" an animal with absolutely no idea where they are going to hit it..... if anywhere at all.

And though many a 06 gets loaded hot to 300 mag velocities with just minor pressure sign...

    Caliber 30-30 use in Africa???

    At one time the win 94 in 30-30 was the cats meow for eastern wtd. So it should work right famously on any animal its approximate size and weight. The 30-30 has a bit more power at 100 yards than a .44 mag at the muzzle and if chambered in a single shot with the right barrel and scope it can...
