Re: Always carry a gun.
Scott Kolar of SK grips hooked me up with some of his beautiful mammoth ivory grips and Gunsite did a great job on the design of the LW series 70 Commander.

Re: 30-06 loads for between the wars.
Thanks gents. NATH: looks like a spotted? Not familiar with that saying...
Based on the info, modern ammo is a bit hotter than the original load. Any thoughts on pressure concerns with using modern ammo in this 100+ year old lady?

Re: 30-06 loads for between the wars.
Thanks. What I have found out is in 1906, standard load was 150 grain at 2700fps. In 1926, us went to a 174gr at 2647fps. In 1938, they went to 151gr. 2740fps. The leaves are marked : fixed 100, then 2, 3, 400, then 500 to 1000.

30-06 loads for between the wars.
I just purchased a Mauser, made between the wars, and made for long range shooting. It has set triggers, an octagon to round barrel, 28 inches long. Three folding leaf sights and then a ladder scaled to 1000 yards. Made in Germany, marked Germany so I'm guessing a transition piece made for the US ma...

Comes with a laminate stock, not shiny plastic paint. I think for most medium size game, it would be a great utility ri...

I'm with Bill in Oregon. I've owned several PCP. Quiet, clip fed, powerful. I used a hand pump and extra cylinders. However , I sold them all and kept my .20 cal springer (same as Bill's model) and bought two cases of its favorite ammo. I have about 3000 shots through it. I like the simplicity. Powe...

.45 ACP medium game hunting bullets/loads?
Thoughts? I'm thinking east coast deer, hogs? I'm thinking a large flat Meplat, at or near +P speeds with a hard cast bullet would work. I'm also looking at using a revolver, not a semi-auto.
Side question, model 1917 up to service with such a load?

Anyone have experience with subsonic .308 loads
I have a .30 cal can in the works and have come across some factory subsonic .308 200grainers at the local toy store. Two different brands. One is a HPBT and the other is a soft point. Wondering about about effectiveness on deer? Thoughts?
