    Barnes flat base round nose 250 gr 308 bullets

    I picked up a box of NOS 30-06 loaded with 250 grain round nose Barnes bullets. I had never seen a 250 grain 308 bullet in my life. I always thought 220 grain were the heaviest made.? Can’t wait to try them.

    Variety or familiarity?

    Recently took all my guns out for a yearly inspection and cleaning. I didn't do this conciously but realized that other than shotgun gauges and 22 lr none of my guns are the same caliber, manufacturer, or model. Is this normal? Or am I just an outlier?

    CZ 600

    I finally was able to handle the new CZ model 600. Stock was too long making it feel unwieldy. It is also one of the most butt ugly rifles I am ever seen. For me I know as soon as I pick up a rifle and put it to shoulder whether or not I will consider buying it. I pick up the rifle close my eyes...

    35 rem loads

    With the price of 35 rem ammo at rediculous heights. I dug through my spent brass, tumbled then inspected then trimmed 150 cases. Selected 3031 powder, Speer 200 grain round nose bullets. Winchester primers and restocked my shelves. That should last me the rest of my shooting career. The best...

    Hiding ugly

    I have posted before of my aversion for black plastic stocks. I won a Ruger American in 30-06 that is so accurate I can’t just sell it. So just wanted to show my solution to the problem. Tell me what you think?

    Early bear season

    NY bear season starts September 12th in the Catskills. Taking my newly aquired Marlin 336 in 35 rem out for its maiden voyage with me. Hoping there is a good beechnut crop as it will make them easier to locate. No baiting allowed in NY.

    Ammo carriers

    What is the preferred holder for carrying spare rounds in the bush. Here at home I prefer a leather folding wallet (for lack of a better term) that slides onto my Pants belt and holds 10 rounds separately and silently.

    Bob your are an enabler

    Went to Georgia to visit an old army buddy I hadn’t seen in 5 years. Ended up bringing home a Marlin 336 in 35 remington wearing a Leoupold Vari X III 1.5x5 x 20 mm. Gun was built in 1976 and the scope in 1982. First 2 rounds down range at 50 yards were center bull and touching. The mounts are...

    Rifle slings

    What are your preferred style and material for rifle slings? I grew up with and was trained to use the standard 1" 2 piece military style sling and use it on the majority of my rifles.

    Recoil aversion

    I have noticed over the last 20 years since the magnum craze faded out here in the USA that hunters have developed a real aversion (fear?) of recoil and are gravitating to smaller and smaller calibers in lighter and lighter bullets. With big game here running mostly 75 to 200 lbs they work...

    Old goat

    I have been following this forum for awhile and have found many like minded hunters here. I have never been too Africa but spend an inordinate amount of time daydreaming about it. I love eating game meat and my children grew up eating venison, wild boar, rabbits wild turkey, squirrels and...
