Re: The 30-30's "magic bullet"

My personal favorite is the 170 Grain Hornady Flat Point. In my mind I would like to try the 150 grain speer due to a little better range, but the Hornady just simply keeps working for me. Whitetail Bucks just hate that Bullet !

Re: OT - My first .22 Magnum

I read somewhere that the .22 Mag in a rifle would be an extremely good survival gun. I have one in a Ruger 10/22, and I was suprised to see them selling on GB for close to 1K. Must be a rare rifle I paid 125.00 for years ago!
