    So, I Was In The Loading Room Today...

    My dad joined the navy in July of 42 and spent the next 3 years sailing around the Pacific on a destroyer and the last 6 weeks of the war in a hospital in Pearl Harbor. He lost part of his right shin bone to a kamikaze strike.

    Ruger M77 MKII 6mm Rem

    In case anyone is really interested in buying an M77 MK2 in 6MM Rem. I currently have one for sale. It's on consignment at a local gun shop at the moment, but if anyone is interested, I will get it back and post some photos. $900 sounds about right.

    375 Ruger Brass

    Unfortunately I recently sold them to another AH member.

    So the 308 Win seems approved by AH, what about the rifle?

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You can't go wrong with a Ruger Hawkeye Hunter in .308 Win!

    Whitetail deer season 2023-2024

    Whitetail season for me wasn't the best this year, very little deer movement around here during the two-week season. But it wasn't a total bust I did manage to get my 300 BLK a little action with this nice doe.

    Need assistance finding ammo and reloading components for 38-55 Win

    I like you drove myself about nuts trying to figure out what brass and bullets to use in my Winchester 94 38-55 manufactured in I believe 1979. Then I read some articles that were written by custom bullet manufacturers that are a darn sight smarter than me and followed their advice. I went with...

    Need assistance finding ammo and reloading components for 38-55 Win

    Usually that is the case but for whatever reason they did not manufacture the 2.125"- 38-55 cases for quite sometime.

    Need assistance finding ammo and reloading components for 38-55 Win

    As far as bullets go, I've been using Hawk Inc. bullets made just for the 38-55 and have been getting great results.

    Need assistance finding ammo and reloading components for 38-55 Win

    I just happen to have a couple hundred new Starline 38-55 cases that I don't need. They are the longer cases that the newer Winchesters use. I ordered them from Starline, they got put on backorder. I gave up on them after about a year and found some new Starline bullets at an auction. Then a few...

    Slow Hunting Western Wyoming

    So, as I'm sitting here starting on my 3rd cup of coffee for the morning, I've been thinking about something that happened last month while I was hunting deer and antelope in Wyoming. While I was out cruising around looking for antelope, I ran across 4 hunters from Georgia (not that it matters...

    Drew First Blood With My New 30-06

    A valuable lesson was learned that day. Cutting short boards on a saw with no guard can be hazardous to your health, especially if you run into a hidden knot which causes a kick back.

    Drew First Blood With My New 30-06

    October 1st opening day of pronghorn rifle season in eastern Wyoming I got to take my first critter with my Ruger Hawkeye Hunter in 30-06. It was going to be an easy shot or so I thought. I drove my SxS up on the top of a small hill so that we could have a look around at miles and miles of...

    Her First Deer

    Great job buddy! I too have a daughter that won't pull the trigger if everything is not just perfect, drives me nuts. But she always gets the job done. This is her muley this year. That's her son, it was awesome having him along to watch mommy shoot her deer and antelope. I think he is hooked.

    USA: More Fun At The Rockin G Ranch

    So, after the buffalo was taken care of, I decided that I wasn't ready to quit hunting yet. So, after a brief discussion with Justin and my wife it was decided that we should chase a Blackbuck around for a while. And boy oh boy that's what we did for the next day and a half, those little buggers...

    Sage does it for me, every time I open a bottle of dried sage and add some to a recipe my mind wonders off to the prairies of Wyoming and I start thinking about pronghorn hunts, past and future.

    .308 Winchester hand load data and Ruger American Rifle

    Been using the Hornady 150 gr SST's for a few years now in my Ruger 308 along with 46,2 gr of IMR 4895. I've taken a bunch of deer and antelope with it so far and never fired more than one shot at any of them.

    It took me a while, but I finally finished it!

    It was a real trip literally. It took me up and down the east coast, up to New England, over to California, up and over to Alaska (several times) and down to Texas a few times. It was worth all the time and effort though because I got to see some amazing things and enjoy some unreal moments that...
