Max range 200 yards. Animal presents a clean broadside shot and is stationary, or very slowly ambling along. What is your minimum choice of caliber for a one shot kill, and what cartridge would you choose? Thanks.

Didn't see it chambered in anything on the Remington homepage. Saw lots of .243 Winchester, though. I have heard that serious reloaders prefer the 6mm to the .243. Curious to know what factory rifles the 6mm is still chambered in. Thanks.

What works best for you? I have heard that the 150s are a better choice for deer than the 170s. But the greater sectional density of the 170 makes me think it would be better... to make up for the lack of energy the 30-30 generates. What have you had most success with? Right now I am geared...

After looking at these babies for 3 years I finally broke down and got one. One sweet Sig pistol. Should have done this years ago. A little "top heavy", but perfect for non snag CCW. :)

All of a sudden my magazine catch will not allow me to insert the magazine without depressing the button part way. When I inspect the mags I can see where they are getting dinged as I try to slam them home. How should I fix this? Thanks!

Brownells offers a sight mount (B Square Mauser Classic Military Mount, stock number 122-185-590) that clamps onto the rear sight ramp of the M96 Swede for use with a Scout scope with long eye relief. Has anyone tried this before? The mount costs about $70. My local gun shop has an M96 Swede...

Curious to know what you greybeards think about this rifle. 24 inch barrel. A trimmed down walnut stock by some reknowned stock designer? Anyway, it is my latest candidate for the 30-06 I eventually hope to buy. Thanks.

I have owned many handguns. And traded many, because there was just something I didn't like about them. The only handgun I can't bring myself to part with is a Colt CCO. How about you?

Art, found one of your previous replies very entertaining. Please tell us more about your set-up on your 30-06. Am curious to know more about the 26 inch barrel and the performance you achieve with it. What is your favorite handload? :) [This message has been edited by Dogger (edited July...

Anyone have any comments on how well Federal's premium line of 180 grain loads works through the #1B? Factory ballistics tables show them all retaining over 2000 ft-lbs of energy at 200 yards through a 24 inch barrel. I would think that with the 26 inch barrel of the #1B this would be a superb...

Well, I am kicking the CCW thing around again. :) Am real pleased with my Colt CCO. But... I only trust it with hardball and Hydrashoks. I do miss my Sig P225, and am looking hard at the Sig P239 in 9mm. I don't think I could get a 9mm Sig to choke on any brand of factory ammo... Which of...

What rifle do you have chambered in 45-70 Government? What loads do you use? What do you use it for? Thanks. I am trying to talk myself into one of these, which is why I am asking. :)

My previous deer have been taken by bow and by shotgun slug. I am going to hunt this year with either a 6.5x55 Swede Mauser or a 7x57 Ruger M77. I am looking at using the Federal Classic hunting loads in 140 grain with soft point bullet. Is there any real reason to go to the premium ammo -- a...

Seems like both are great knives. I suppose you will tell me to get both. :) I plan on getting the non-serrated edged blade. Which one should I get first and why? Thanks. [This message has been edited by Dogger (edited June 12, 2000).]

At the local gun shop, was checking one of these out in .357 magnum and I really liked it. Was curious to know if anyone owns one and can share some shooting impressions? Seems like a great compromise of weight, capacity, and size for a .357 boomer.

Thanks for all your posts on previous messages. Mauser nostalgia won out in the end. I placed an order today for a Ruger M77 chambered in 7x57mm Mauser. Will mount a Leupold 3-9x40 Vari-X II on it. Should fill the bill nicely for Eastern whitetails, and a nice complement to the M38 Swedish...

Has anyone purchased ammo from Quality Cartridge at http://www.owlnet.com/quality/?? What are your thoughts on their ammo? Thanks!

I REALLY can't make up my mind between these two cartridges. I have opportunties to hunt with buddies in Virginia, Vermont, and Colorado. I will be a one gun only hunter, so I have to make a good choice. Thanks!

Looking at either a .270 or a 30-06 for North American hunting. The various premium bullets get a bit confusing as to best at short range, best at long range, mimimum wind drift, slow opening, fast opening, etc. etc. I want to keep things simple. Hence my question above. I want to choose...

I am in the market for a .357 CCW revolver again. Please give me your recommendation for your FIRST/BEST choice Criteria (most to least important) 1. Reliability 2. Concealability 3. Controlability 4. Accuracy 5. Trigger Thanks!
