They are good for rough shooting at close range. Personally, I would rather have a post with a white stripe on it. I love carrying a rifle with iron sights only on it, but even if I can see my sights, I have trouble seeing the game animal clearly, especially in dim light. I usually, resort to at lea...

I have been thinking about the same concept, but in my case, I have a Remington 700 in 300 win mag, that I would like to load down to .308 levels for deer hunting. I don't need all of that noise or recoil of the 300 mag, but I like that rifle and scope combo for some of deer hunting. I know I can d...

Yes, I think I have probably read every article on there, some two or three times. Not a bad site. Pretty good articles.

A long time ago, I noticed a difference in point of impact between shooting lots of light rifles, both leveraction and bolt action, between shooting in traditional bench style with the forend resting on a bag up front, and just holding the rifle by the grip only. I don't hunt that way, so I never s...

What's the issue? Does the site just need to be tweaked or upgraded or something and we don't have anyone to do it, something like that?

Good luck, hope you find him. I have generally had really good luck with crossbow kills. One buck I hit a little far back, still a double lung shot but right on the edge of the lungs. He didn't go very far, but didn't push him, after jumping him up once while trailing. I left him for 4 hours or so, ...

Well, I was hoping I would get a few more suggestions on a good gunsmith. But anyway, I found a gunsmith in Nevada, Paul Hampton of Country Custom Metals who specializes in work on leveractions, among other guns. There's a waiting list, but he says he can do it, around the first of the year. I am go...

I like the idea of the cut off bullet trick. That might be needed for expansion, also. The OP mentioned several bullets and one in particular the 235gr Speer might not open up on a lungshot deer. It's designed for the 375 HH mag. I have never owned a 375 Winchester, but I have taken several deer wit...

Have you looked into using Luke Redford at Benton County Gun Works? I don’t know anything about his reputation but he does have some pretty good videos on Facebook.

I am looking for recommendations for a good gunsmith. The gunsmith that I have used for the last 30 years has aged out and retired and I don't trust most of the so-called gunsmiths left locally.

I live in NW Arkansas, on the edge of the CWD zone, far western Madison Co. I have had several deer tested over the past few years and so far, none have come back positive. But I don't trust taking a deer to the butcher shop, because they don't worry about CWD, and if you order summer sausage, they ...

Anymore, I don't buy cover scents, etc. Maybe they help, sometimes, but I have noticed that my success rate has climbed a lot in the last few years, because I pay very close attention to the wind direction, and I know my hunting area pretty good, so I have a fair idea what direction the deer will be...

Scott, I really like your black holster for the singleaction. What brand is that holster?

I always carry a Colt 1911 Lightweight Commander, usually in a Milt Sparks OWB holster, everywhere and especially church. I am on Captain of the security team. Everyone pretty much knows I carry anyway. So, I don't worry about being made, or accidently flashing the bottom of my holster, but normally...

I think I was nine when I got my first .22 single shot. I still have it. By 10 or 11, I was deer hunting with my Dad's old Swedish Mauser, 95 carbine in 6.5 x 55 and i still have it, too. Then when my dad inherited a Remington A303 30-06 from my uncle, I carried it, some. It was a good shooter, but ...

That was a load of hogs.

Killed this one with my Browning 86, 4570 a few years ago. This one must have been a domestic hog that got loose or something.

It's been 30 years ago, but I think I remember having the actual hammer on a Super Blackhawk break on me. And If I recall correctly, I just called Ruger and they sent me a new one.

Lastmohecken

That's a new one for me. I have not heard of Ruger's transfer bars ever breaking. The New Vaquero's are a little different, than older blackhawks and Super Blackhawks, or single sixes. I have owned them all, more or less, and never had it happen, so far. One problem I did have regarding transfer bar...

Jared, my hat is off to you: "Currently I am loading 9.5x60R for my 1887 Mauser and the very expensive Ch4D dies don’t really work for my rifle so I have had to make changes on how I load it. I need to make more brass for it but that is a labor of love." I never found a Mauser in this cha...

Impressive for sure! I may want to try that bullet in my newly acquired Henry 360 Buckhammer, when I finally get enough stuff to reload for it.

Any idea what the feet per second was out of that 24" barrel?

My most frustrating round to handload was the 450 Alaskan. I think I needed to thin the necks out, and I never took it that far. Still, I managed to load for it. As far as rifle rounds go, I loved loading for the 375 HH Mag, and my 350 Remington Mag. The 30/30 was the first rifle round I loaded for,...

I find the 360 very interesting as well. I can see running it as a black powder target cartridge with cast and or paper-patched boolits. I have a lot of cast bullets on hand, i might give that a try. They are not gas check, however. I wonder how fast I could push them before they started leading th...

Actually, I just picked it up, this morning. I had the shop set it back for me, yesterday, but I had forgotten my billfold, so I had to go back today.

I certainly didn't need it, but I bought a new Henry 360 Buckhammer, today. I like the idea of this caliber, and I am not one to very often try new cartridges.

I have found that most everything said so far, has been true, but not always. I will use the 1911, 45acp for this example.

The BB gun I used all during my childhood was a Daisy Haythorn, at least it I think it said Haythorn on the receiver in big letters.

We use Red Ryders for moving cattle, sometimes, as gentle persuasion for getting them to move or change direction on occasion. Sometimes it actually works pretty well.

De-escallation is a big topic of discussion these days in law enforcement.

Dickens is a hero, and undoubtedly saved no telling how many lives. From what I understand he took a rest against a pole to steady his aim, at some point in the fracas.

I used to own a TC Contender in 45/70, and while it could be shot well, it had very heavy recoil, so IMHO a 45/70 derringer would be terrible.
