Does anybody load heavy hard cast bullets in there 1911? My Hodgdon data only goes up to 230 gr. I was thinking of a bullet like this http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=919778 I have Hodgdon Titegroup and Lil' Gun.

When I was going to college (before the G.I. bill $ ran out and I had to work for a living) I had an old freezer in my dorm room; it was always full of Deer and Elk. You shoulda seen the looks I got from those city slicker type kids when I was riding the elevator (University of Wyo dorms =...

Does anybody have one? What would this include in the opinion of you collectors? If somebody has one I'd love to see pics and hear details. Maybe divide the group into "Axis" and "Allies" rifles and give some pros/cons of each weapon as a battle rifle. Sadly, we are nearly out of WWII vets and...

I ordered 8# of the stuff over 3 months ago and it still hasn't arrived. This is the powder I use the most so I figured I'd buy several years worth. I started checking around for another 1# can to "tide me over" because the 1# can I had is so low I've had to weigh it and calculate how many...

Well, I'm freekin pumped! My buddy & I put in for a party hunt on DM549 (Homer area Antlerless Moose) and we got lucky as there is a 2% chance of drawing this tag. This means we can shoot a calfless cow or a legal bull as per normal harvest regs. My odds of a freezer full of meat went up...

I'd like to hear your picks for top five rifle cartridges and a brief description of why you picked them. I'm not starting this so we can argue about what is better as the reasons for favorite are likely subjective; in fact "I like it because my Dad liked it" is sound enough reasoning to me...

Anybody have one of these? How does it shoot? Every now and then I go to the Springfield site and drool at them. I really don't have any practical use for one, at least not one that isn't already filled by something else. Although I wouldn't mind getting into 3 gun shoots, I just have to...

Can somebody in the know take a gander at this and tell me if it is correct? I'm building a ballistics chart and am unsure if these are the proper # of clicks per inch of adjustment at different ranges. My scope is 1/4 moa per click. Yds Clicks per inch 100 4 150 3 200 2 250 1.625 300...

I have a .338 RUM (same one I posted the range report for yesterday). I have spent lots of time, tears and more $$$ than I care to admit trying to get the darn think to shoot better than 4-6 moa. The list of things I did that added very little accuracy below. 1st- Added a muzzle brake. The...

I've tried before and given up in frustration...

I'm thinking of buying one. Any experience esp. accuracy and reliability?

Just thought I'd report on the difference between the two when it comes to customer service. Sierra: Bought a box of .338 250gr SPBT's (Gameking) for my .338 RUM and don't have any published data for this bullet w/my particular powder. I called them (1-800#) and spoke with a ballistics person...

Who loves hunting upland birds? What birds do you hunt, where do you love to hunt and what do you use to hunt them with? Me, Ptarmigan - Kenai and Chugach mountains, 12 GA. BPS Upland special (my new shotgun, formerly a Mossberg 835). Grouse (Spruce and Ruffed) - Spruce swamps and foothills...

All of the "tactical" crap? Seriously though, I can't be too harsh because I once pondered the best way to strap a light to my Mossberg 500, I also had a pistol grip and heat shield for it. Luckily I came to my senses and learned that practice at clays will make me a much better shotgunner than...

I shot a coyote (quartering away) from about 85 yds two days ago. The bullet broke the front shoulder and blew the guts out the other side (ruining the hide). The 85 gr. Sierra Gameking HPBT's are very accurate in my gun but they are too much. I'd like to know if other yote hunters shoot .243...

I've read a few of his articles and don't always agree. Just wonder if people take him seriously or not.

I have a Browning BPS Upland Special (12 ga.) on the way. I'll be using it for Grouse/Ptarmagin, hares and varmints. All of my hunting takes place in big bear country.What is the tightest choke tube I can shoot rifled slugs through? I have some Brenneke (sp?) 3" slugs that look pretty good for...

Does anybody know of a link to a good snowshoe hare in distress calling demo? Will a regular old cottontail or jackrabbit call work for wolves, lynx, yotes and skunkbear? Thanks.
