For the first time in nearly 10 years I'll be hunting with factory ammunition. I just moved to a new place in April of this year and an 1890's farm house in the Southeastern plains of Colorado needs a lot of attention. I've been unable to set up an area to reload as keeping the wife happy...

Pronghorn season has been rough this year, the last several years of drought has pushed them out of our hunting area. We had some good rain this year so they are starting to move back in. My buddy and I both had a buck tag, and he hunted opening weekend but unfortunately I couldn't be there as...

UPS just dropped off a little package yesterday! Two brand new Bell & Carlson Remington ADL Mountain Rifle stocks in gray and black web. I ordered them from Stocky's back in July and went with that color because they were supposedly in stock. Well they weren't but I didn't bother to change...

Sportsmans Warehouse was blowing out the Remington 783 today in .243, .270, .30-06, and 7mm RM for $199 in Colorado Springs. If they have any left the sale lasts the weekend for any interested, they were selling a lot of them today. As cheap as they were I still couldn't bring myself to buy...

My wife took out her new 20ga (M870) shotgun yesterday with one of her friends from church, a 4'll" shotgun instructor. She had a really good time, so much so she had to write about it. She asked me to share a link to her story, said it might be helpful for the girls out there that may be...

I was at a gun show yesterday and saw a little military trainer in 5.4mm or .22 lr as we in America call it and had to have it. It helped the seller was willing to deal and the price was right on it as well. It needs a safety as that part is missing, but it's a cool little CRF with actual claw...

I was at a gun show today saw a little military trainer in 5.4mm or .22 lr as we in America call it. It needs a safety as that part is missing, but it's a cool little CRF with actual claw extractor. Near as I can tell it's a GECO 1933 like this one I found a picture of online.

Asking us to send letters to lawmakers stoping the HSUS petition to ban traditional hunting bullets on all Federal land. LINK I don't mean for this to be a drive by post and if considered so please delete.

It has been a great ride only about 150 rounds down the tube but I think it's time to let this one go. I learned a lot with this rifle but it's just heavier than I like and I'd love to build another in a 9lbs or less not a 12lb. I will be going back to a fast twist barrel as a .243 with...

I don't have the story yet just pictures. However the guy in the picture is my Brother-in-law's older brother. This deer was hunted less than 10 miles from the house I grew up in out on the plains of SE Colorado. He's going to submit this one to P&Y.

1. It's called hunting for a reason. 2. Sometimes deer just don't come within range. 3. We all want a buck, but sometimes you just don't see one you can shoot. 4. Use the bathroom before you go to the blind. 5. Make sure and check for deer before you leave the blind to pee! 6. Deer don't...

I'm trying to load the 80 grain Speer Deep Curl in my 6X47 Rem Stevens 200 that I built. This bullet and pretty much any other bullet heaver than 70 grains gives me a bit of a fit. I've found the speed I want from the bullet and have been chasing seating depth trying to get better groups...

turn in my "Man" card. I have this .243 Win that I built that's been sitting on the back burner while I've been working out of state for most of last year. Anyway I'm currently furloughed, but prepared for it, so I have a ton of time to catch up on my reloading and shooting. I have a bunch...

My 10 year old daughter is going to shoot at the Olympic Training Center for the first time tonight. We've had her on the waiting list for the National Training Center Youth Shooting Program for over a year. She got the call about two weeks ago that there was a slot for her, and she did her...

I was thinking today which is pretty dangerous, but what is the one bullet brand that you are the most happy with? For me I'd have to say Sierra, I pretty much use every brand of common bullet out there. However, I've always found Sierras easy to find an accurate load without much fuss. As...

I spent the last couple of days putting the finishing touches on some rifles I've been putting together. First one is a M700 Classic .300 Savage that I traded for, this will probably be my daughters elk rifle when she is able to tolerate the recoil. All I did was put the old Burris FF on top...

I had a HS "DOH!" moment last night for sure. I went to my gunsmith and picked up two rifles I had being worked on. Brought them home and started pulling scopes and rifles out of the safe. Should have really cleand my surroundings a little better on my bench and maybe I could have avoided it.*...

With the ol' 6X47 Rem looking for some targets of opportunity. I wasn' dissapointed! The cleanup crew wasn't that far behing either. As good as I could blow up from cell phone.

We seem to be getting a lot of questions about ballistics on a regular basis on various cartridges. Luckily today we have a lot of tools between Apps and online ballistics calculators that anyone with a decent chronograph can pretty reasonably calculate the flight path of the bullet they are...

I wanted to build an all around big game rifle that would weigh in around 8.5 lbs. all up and able to hunt in all weather conditions. Well I got my rifle back today from Kevin Weaver and all up it weighs in at 8 lbs. and 9 oz., so I'd say I made my goal. Little over three years collecting the...
