Re: Gunblast video .360 Buckhammer
I...as well am not crazy about the plastic stocked rifles. I did like this review of the .360 calibre round and I didn't know that Federal was offering it in a 220 grain bullet. Here in Ohio we can hunt with just about any straight wall cartridge .

We are looking for 12-14" of snow today. so far not much wind. not supposed to get much above 20* all week. I'd rather have snow than ice, we have had some ice storms that left the roads looking like a war zone with downed trees and limbs, then you can bet the power will be out. Stay safe Guys.
