Blaine\Jerry I agree about the corlokt's but I don't believe they are available in the 44. This was a 240 gr Speer gold dot softpoint. They have opened up well and driven through on deer and coyotes for me and are bonded. I will have to go with a plan soft point soon though because I only have about...

I love the non typical Rack, congrats!

Today was the opener for Connecticut rifle season. I took the day off and hunted a farm around the corner. The wood lot I usually hunt has a rock crusher operating in the field next to it so hunted a 115 acre patch that I have never done so well in. I walked in to an area that I have seen buck activ...

I have never found a revolver in my price range but have shot a few deer with a 92 rifle no problems. I also have crimped a Hornady XTP with a lee factory crimp die and it will not go anywhere. A good flat nose lead will do fine on a deer too.

EdinCT

Nice rifle! My neighbor has a very similar rifle with the full mag. He once shot a deer and wounded it and says its a lousy caliber and his dad warned him so. He will not sell because his inlaws gave it to him. His dad hunted with a pump in 30 Remington for years so I have to get a laugh out of them...

Nath, My Dad always said a dog is the only love money can buy. Glad you found each other. I used to take a sack of live pigeons and throw them in front of my pups while they were out happy timing. Once they started the chase after the bird and were a distance away I would fire a shotgun primer only,...

Ji, I am 6'1" and almost 60 years old and find it pretty easy to cock. It does shoot a honest 355 fps in all tests with the 150 gr broadhead. Nath, This buck isn't fat but is in good shape. He appears to be in what I call the pre rut build up. His neck was larger than when I last saw him a mont...

Ji, I used an Excalibur Matrix 355, with the bolt cutter 150 gr broad head made by the same company. This head is a three blade 1 1/8" cutting dia. I have used a Muzzy 100 gr 4 blade of the same dia. for years with great results and blood trails so I was surprised by the lack of blood but, I do...

Went out after work on Thursday to hang a stand to hunt out of Friday. Once it was up I hunted out of it for two hours and looked to my right and when I looked back this small buck was right were I was just looking. Almost like he was beamed in! He started to walk away quartering to my right and I p...

Flint you could also skin and flesh the hide and tan it yourself.

Also I agree a bear that's not on trash or fish is very good table fare.

I have the 45/70 and love it! That said a 45 colt in a rifle can be loaded to 45/90 bp ballistics with 300 gr bullets so it makes a good showing for itself. Brass is cheap, bullets on hand a lot of plus's. Also the 1894 is a sweet gun to carry. The down side is if you feed a hot 300 gr into a handgu...

I just bought a Excaliber Matrix 355 last night. Hoping I made a good choice and that it lives up to its reputation.
I will give a update after I gain some experience.

EdinCT

Bought one for 60.00 back in the day, had it a few years and accuracy went out the window. I tried a good cleaning and every type of ammo I could find to no help. The one thing I didn't do was try a new scope. I sold it to a guy who I latter found out was using it for jacklighting deer. He left it b...

Uphill shot with a Ithaca 37 slug gun. Still have a 1/2 scar but it blends with the wrinkles now. That one of the few advantage's of getting old

EdinCT

Ted, you both are in my prayers.

EdinCT

Prayers for all.

EdinCT

Good News for sure!

EdinCT

Looks like a honest rifle, can't wait to hear the range report.

EdinCT

Nice Truck, I am just a little jealous! I have a 2002 Dodge quad cab with 183000 miles. It has the 4.7 gas and owes me nothing!! I will not buy another gas though because like you I want more MPG.
Hope you enjoy it has much has I have this one.

EdinCT

Sorry for your loss.

Tutt, I have read a book named The Living Lincoln based on personal letters from the last 10 years or so of his life ( Pretty dry but informative). One thing that struck me is that he had strong bouts of depression and would most likely be unelectable today. I also believe that despite all his fault...

I think things are freeing up finally. I was traveling up from Tenn and Kentucky and saw Bricks of Remington thunder duds all along and 100 round Super X's at Cabela's in PA. They also had bricks of Win sub Sonic's for 59 dollars Ouch and Federal 325 Round boxes of auto match for 21.00. 1200 round l...

Sorry to hear of your loss. Praying for you and your family.

You have been Blessed!

Elmer Keith told of a friend who shot through a Black bears head with a load of 10 gr of Unique and the 255 gr bullet during a charge. If you can shoot the 250 gr at 850 fps beats fingers and bare hands.
If you don't shoot well, it may not matter.

EdinCT

Brian Peirce ( spelling?) who writes for handloader wrote of killing several Black bears with the factory 250 gr load in the 45 colt. They were inside of 60 yards or so and he seemed to have no problem killing them. I think if you hit them in the lungs and shoot a load with the same ballistics you w...

Prayers for your Dad.

I have shot many deer and 1 bear with the partition in calibers from 6mm through .458 with perfect results so I've never shot accubonds at game. I have to also say that my rifles didn't shoot the accubonds has well has the partition. (That's just my rifles) I have been in on the killing of a large b...

Love the look of old Savage 99's. I would like to find one in 30-30 or 303. I blew it in Washington state and passed on one because I wasn't sure how I could get it home at the time. I have a Man that goes to my Church that is 96 years old. He remembers a Savage rep measuring his dad for his in the ...

Jeremy, Thank You for your service and praying the Lord will make his plan for the next part of your life clear to you.

Yooper I have a 1894cl and load the Lyman 311008 over unique for 1180 fps. I have a Lyman tang sight on it and can hit a soup can at 80 yards with it off hand more often than not. It's been hard on woodchucks and coyote's and easy on my pocket book. I like it !

EdinCT

Sorry for your loss, Praying for your family.

EdinCT

Griff, Just saw this and am praying for a speedy recovery.

EdinCT

Used them backpacking when I was young and highly recommend them.

EdinCT

Well done Nath ! You came to mind last Saturday while turkey hunting I had a big red fox come to the call and peak at me from behind an oak at 10 yards. Seasons closed but I did think its good for you that I'm not Nath

EdinCT

Praying for you Victor!

I bought a Gamo hunter that came with a BSA scope that walked all over. I then bought a new mount and Bushnell air rifle scope. It is like night and day. Also my rifle likes Beeman or RWS pellets. They shoot head and shoulders above the rest.

EdinCT

I recall hearing that the 25-36 and 30-30 short range loads were loaded to give 25-20 and 32-20 performance in a rifle that could be loaded with high power shells for large game hunting. My Dad said the farms had a 22, one center fire deer rifle and a shotgun. And poor folks got by with a single bar...

EdinCT

I don't think they will be a problem. I seem to remember that a lot of 22 shells would do that but still shot fine.

EdinCT

California could sure use it but I understand your problem. When it rains it pours!

EdinCT

Nice find! I would think quiet 22's or CB longs would be just about right for the 1904. My Grandfather had about 67 years in the Mason's. My Dad and I are the first men in the family not to wear the apron.

EdinCT

Thanks! had to work so I am making it a 4 day weekend. I awoke to rain so decided to decline turkey hunting ( guess I am getting old!) and will make a trip to Cabela's instead.

EdinCT

I do what Walks with Gun does. It works well and after a few years the middle forms a peat moss type matl. that fills in the cracks, bullets seem to fall out the front has the wood is shot up. I put a 1 foot thick section of a log 18" in dia out in front to tack targets to.

EdinCT

I also load with IMR 30-31 and have used Win 748 with good success. I like the 170 gr Hornady flat point but couldn't get them this year so used 170 gr Speer's and it also worked well. They both put deer down! The RCBS bullet usually casts about 180 gr. and gets good reports I use the discontinued L...

EdinCT

The 32 is 1in 16 twist and one advantage to that is it will shoot cast bullets very well. Also I have read, the story of worn barrels in the 32 cause them to shoot bad isn't the total truth. One writer stated they don't shoot any worse than a 30 WCF that was worn.

EdinCT

Beautiful Rifle, Hope it shoots has good has it looks!

EdinCT

Praying for a speedy recovery!

EdinCT

Nice rifle and bullets Kirk! Stone fence's bullets sure look ideal.
I remember seeing boxes of Dominion 38-55's for sale when I was young. They were marked has being the last loaded factory 38-55's. Where they loaded to the 1600 level ?
