Local police shot and killed a mountain lion roaming the center of my city Friday night. I live in Del Rio, Texas, which is on the border of Mexico about 150 miles due west of San Antonio. Population is 40,000. Kinda scary. Here is the link and article...

I am thinking about simplifying and just having one powder for the following 3 cartridges: 243 win 270 wsm 300 win mag Any suggestions on a powder that will give good performance with these 3? Not looking for max, but good velocity on all 3.

I am a bing fan of Stossel. He tells it like it is as far as hunting and gun ownership. Too bad the liberals won't even listen to a libertarian.

Ok, here is one to think about. Going through all my clutter the other day got me thinking, if I could go back I would not have got this, I would have got that or done this, etc.... So if you could do it all over what would you change? Would you have bought less rifles and gone on more hunts...

I drew a mule deer tag for New Mexico. Will be my first out of state hunt (reside in West Texas now). I have a 16-48x65 prostaff spotting scope that I purchased a few years ago in the hope of hunting big open areas one day. I have only used it for star gazing and just viewing around the area...

I have been reloading going on three years now. The press I am using is a Lee Classic Turret. Has been great so far. I have not done any high volume loading, just about ten rifle cartridges at a time. I an using a 505 scale to measure a round at a time and dispense through a funnel. I am...

Looking for a good reliable home defense pistol. I have found the two very good deals listed above from reputable dealers on the net. I am very familiar with a glock 22 and while I like most everything about it, the grip is a bit large for me. I have not handled the sd40 but from what I have...

Dead eye took him at 135 yards with his 243. Daddy only sat in blind with him. He took the shot all by himself. Went through both shoulders and was down about 30 yards away.

Took this two weekends ago near Marble Falls, Texas. Just got the meat back from the processor and will be having a cook out this weekend. Tasted the summer sausage and that is good. Hope the rest tastes as good.

Bought a super bantam for my son last Saturday at Academy for $299.00. It has the stock with a spacer and an extra recoil pad to shorten the stock to a LOP of 12 inches. It is a 243 with a 20 inch barrel. First off the rifle itself: Stock is simple plastic but much more rigid than other...

Well time for another "best of" thread. Title says it all. What do you consider the best all around cartridge for shots from 50 to 300 yards (about 98% of all hunting shots) for small white-tailed deer to Elk/Moose? Let's try and keep super-duper magnums out because yes, I know they will work...

Ok, this is just for thought.... The 338 Win Mag has been said by many folks, including most professional writers and guides, as the ideal elk cartridge. And here are the ballstics for the 338wm: 225 Grain Muzzle Velocity/Energy: 2,900/4,200 400 Yard Velocity/Energy: 2,100/1,900...

Went out to my property north of Del Rio on the Devil's river this past Wednesday in hopes of seeing a big whitetail buck. I have had a trail cam at my new property I got 2 months ago and have seen nothing but aoudad come around. Well, no luck on whitetail that morning but I did spot a herd of...

Been thinking about a pro hunter and just wonedering if anyone has chronoed the velocity out of the 28 inch barrel. Any noticible dirrence? Am considering one in 300 win mag and wondered what the velocity increase from 24 to 28 inch barrels would be. Thanks in advance.

I am a life-long Texan and will be for at least another 20 years. I love to hunt and own 10 acres where I do my hunting. For those who don't know, Texas is 90% private land and is expensive to buy just about anywhere except remote west Texas. I am not wealthy but make a good living. While I...

Could you please recommend a scope or two that would give me the best overall eye-relief for a Ruger #1. By overall, I mean not only eye relief but legnth and mounting position. The No. 1 has the rings located furhter forward than on bolt action rifles and a shorter space between them. I do not...

Going to get a new bolt action just because I can right now. I am going mainly for looks and have found two for the same price. The first is a Kimber 84M Classic in 338 Federal and the other is a Ruger M77 ultralight in 308win special edition with a circassian stock. Have been toying with the...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well I just took out my brand new mini-14 to the range and have good news and bad news. The good news is that after sighting-in the buckmaster 4x40 fixed power (got it for $99 at Natchezz close-out, what a deal) I...

Well I just took out my brand new mini-14 to the range and have good news and bad news. The good news is that after sighting-in the buckmaster 4x40 fixed power (got it for $99 at Natchezz close-out, what a deal) I shot two consecutive 1.75 inch 3 shot groups. I know, this is not tackdriver...
