Just as a way of seeing the different ways people approach a day of hunting, I wonder what you put in your daypack or carry with you on a normal hunting day? Sometimes it seems to me like I've got to much junk in the pack but it has all been used at one time or another. My list, roughly in order...

I know there have been many threads on this topic but I thought a poll might get some quick response from folks who are tired of posting on the topic. With thousands of members maybe TFL might resolve the dispute.

I have read some of the “what would be best for ...?” threads and it gave me an idea. I am getting ready to go on the safari of my dreams, a hunt for the rarest Grand Slam of the Northern Hemisphere. I’ll be trying to bag the following species: a space alien (any planet), a large dinosaur, a...

I was watching an episode of Tales of the Gun on the History channel. There was a clip of some Israeli training session where the shooter engaged the target, then twisted the gun over to the side. This was the first time I have seen a competent shooter do this other than playing around. He...

Mr. Irwin recommended a site on another thread and this is a picture from there. I was impressed. http://www.warships1.com/USbb62_pic_90_Ausfir.jpg

I was reading this thread: http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=62268 And the incident made me wonder about a hypothetical that would start the same way. My apologies to Dr. Rob for borrowing the beginning of his problem: You hear a knock on your door and find a woman there...

The March issue of Rifle magazine has an article, Fuels for Frontloaders, about the available black powder and the substitutes. They tried: Goex Elephant Wano Swiss Clearshot Pyrodex Pyrodex Pellets They said all were viable, then said they tried another brand but it proved unsatisfactory. I...

Soon after Puffy Combs was arrested with a stolen gun the gentleman who had owned the gun made the news when he said he wanted the gun back. Made sense to me: Man reports gun stolen, Police find gun, Man gets gun back. Has anybody heard if the gun was returned?

Here is an article from the Boston Globe about thier gun murder rate going down and thier stabbing murder rate going up: http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/045/metro/City_seeing_rapid_rise_in_stabbing_homicides+.shtml The last paragraph says it all: ''If this is what we are starting to see...

There is a great thread in general http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=55078 and I thought this might turn out well here too. Some of the ones posted there would also fit in here. You might be a hard core reloader if: You by the dies before you buy the gun. The disclaimers...

Twas the night before Christmas, cold, dark and foreboding, As I sat at the workbench, quite busy reloading, The empties from autumn were polished so clear, For primers and powder, and bullets from Speer. And Sierra boat-tails, and Nosler´s Partitions (My bench ain´t no place for brand name...

Someone was asking about this new rifle a while back and there is a review of it in the Jan Shooting Times. It is all steel, no plastic or aluminum, and weighs 5.5 pounds with a 22-inch barrel. The magazine is not stamped but cast, which sounded like a good idea to me. "Non-classic" features...

I was running some Cor Bon 115 gr loads over the chrono and got over 1300FPS. What powder would come closest to matching this at sane pressures?

Noticed the general forum was missing. Did it bite the dust while TFL was down?

Hello, this is my first post here after lurking long enough to know somebody here will have an answer. This weekend I came home and noticed a strong smell, which turned out to be the last pound or so of powder in an eight pound container which had gone bad. I set it outside. About two hours...
