Hello, it has been a long time since I have posted anything. My son has the Dillon loading press and I am using the 44 magnum again, quite a bit here in broken country. I’m wondering if any of you may be from Missouri, and know any good gun shows around the St. Louis area? I went to one in...

I do not think I will do much hunting. In the past, my main interest was in hunting, not any defense tactics. I live in a low crime area. What I like are Marlin lever action rifles. I have a few in common calibers. I had a nice Savage model 99 in 308 Winchester, now I will look for another. I...

I was raised hunting. From my earliest memories, I recall having to kill domestic animals for dinner. My mother and grandmother taught me how to get chicken ready for the pot; I was not more than six at the time. We butchered our pigs; my father expected my brother and me to kill and dress out...

I have always had guns, since I was nine years old; I used to hunt rabbits for the table. I took my first deer when I was ten years old. To me, guns are tools for hunting and hunting is a way to get food. I like all standard shotguns, but I prefer pump 12 gauge or a double over under for faster...

I have an older Marlin 35 Rem. I like the gun more for sentimental reasons than hunting or even shooting it. I like lever guns and I think I am going to build one of those old western gun racks for lever action rifles. I have a Marlin 30-30 in excellent condition and a 357 Marlin rifle. My...

Are you a Redneck? I am what most people would call a redneck. I drive an old 1980s model full size pick-up with a gun rack, usually with my shotgun and 30-30. I hunt and fish, not much interest in team sports, too citified. I have a couch out on my deck; shoot (legally) off my porch or deck. I...

Somewhere between Thomas Jefferson and William Jefferson Clinton an influential segment of the intelligentsia lurched far to the ideological and political left. Thomas Jefferson certainly did not confuse rule of law ("all men are created equal") and hereditary reality. In a letter to John Adams...

I have found out through questioners that men who grew up with fathers who subsistence hunted are about four times more likely to hunt themselves than sons of sport hunters who in turn are about six times more likely to hunt as sons whose fathers do not hunt at all. This research was conducted...

When I think about the best cartridge that is a full step up in power over the 30-06, I think of the 338 Winchester magnum. While the 300 Win. Mag has longer range and certainly more power, the 338 has the decided advantage. It can shoot a bullet 70 grains heaver the venerable 06 at the same...

What side of the 7mm vs. 30-caliber debate are you on? I remember reading an article written by John Sundra, titled, “I am a worm, I don’t like the 30 caliber” John seems to fit in well with this debate; he is partial to his own wildcat 280 improved, much like a Gibbs, it is a blown out case...

I had a 264 soon after Winchester came out with the western and with 140 grain bullets, it was not that hard on barrels. I began shooting the 264 non-magnum back when a buddy on mine let me have a 264/284 for a season while he was on vacation. It was a custom rifle on a Winchester action with a...

Is there way to go to specific topics? Suppose I want to look at rifle, handgun and hand loading posts, can I go directly to those posts without calling them up on new posts?
