    Any .350 Rem Mag Fans?

    Back in the 90s, when TC still had a custom shop, I had a 350 Remington barrel made for my Encore. On the lightweight Encore frame, it was quite a thumper. I still have the barrel in the back of the safe, but have not sent a round down range in decades. Total weight was 7.5 pounds. I was...

    Hunting Outfitter in WYOMING

    I've hunted with SNS Outfitters three times. Hunted with them in the Bighorns for elk and mule deer and around Casper for antelope. They are top notch and I highly recommended them.

    A buddy and I pooled our points and drew two Wyoming antelope tags. We only had 6 points between us, but it worked. Time to load a few rounds for the 25-06!

    Does anyone here like quarter-bores?

    I purchased my first hunting rifle in 1993. It was a Remington Mountain Rifle in 25-06. Since then, it has accounted for dozens of whitetails, an antelope, several bobcats and hundreds of groundhogs. Loaded with a variety of bullets from 75gr VMAX to 120gr Partitions and using RL-22 or H4831...

    Delta just cancelled June 1 ATL to JNB flight

    When I travelled last week, I was booked ATL-AMS-JNB and JNB-AMS-ATL for the return. This was without firearms. The day before my return, KLM cancelled JNB-AMS and I was forced over to Air France via Paris. The return trip was 36 hours, door to door. Painful, but I made it.

    What Are Your Alternative Plans?

    Today was supposed to be the departure day for my first trip to RSA. Had no choice except to push it out to 2021 and keep my fingers crossed. Looking like all the extra vacation days will be used up this fall during deer season. Stay safe, all.

    9-11 Where were you?

    I was in an underground data center when the first tower was hit. I left work immediately and retrieved my twins from their school and had everyone safe at home before the Pentagon was hit. Unfortunately, I was due to leave for Gander Newfoundland on 9/15 for a caribou hunt. If you recall...

    I've been doing a lot of load testing in preparation for my first trip to RSA in 2020 with Limcroma Safaris. I decided to do a side-by-side penetration test on four separate 30-06 loads. I shot into water jugs at 50 yards so I could capture the expanded slugs. All of these were captured in the...
