I FINALLY bought a new iMac G5 yesterday and had all the old files transferred to it. It turns out that my photo files in the old Mac had become corrupted by my own fault. Not all photos were salvageable, but most recent ones were. Below are some pics from the 5 July shoot. This is my little setup....

Brno602 , I have a buddy you would like ! He pig hunts Arkansas every year and his battery for down there is a CZ550 in 375 H&H MAG loaded with a Nosler 300 Partition handload for the little piggies , for medium piggies he has another CZ550 in 416 Rigby that I handload Nosler 400 Partitions for...

It's okay but I have a soft spot for the .264 win. . But with light bullets 120/125 the .264 is just as fast or faster than the .257 . But the .257WBY in a 26'' barrel is the best .257 cal going as to power and ya it's over bore but who cares! I'm partial to the 264 WIN MAG as well ! Matter of fact...

I'm pretty sure Hoppe's has changed their formula for #9 solvent. If you read the formula given at Fr. Frog's website, http://www.frfrogspad.com/homemade.htm, it has a formula for #9 that lists different ingredients and different percentages of ingredients than are shown on the current MSDS for Hop...

I like my 16'' Barrel have to admit it is my first 92 type gun, My thinking was why get a long barrel for a pistol cal. I really like the 20'' in a 336 or 94 but in a trim little gun like a 92 that 16'' barrel is sweet! I love my 99s too, but to me they are in real rifle cals depends on how you look...

She is so fat her tail looks short, that's what a old time Cougar hunter told me if the tail looks short for a Cougar they are a big one,the human brain works that way?
Funny how Horses go nut's when they smell Cat but give a rat's a** when they smell Bear.

I'm back from the road trip. It was a 32 special as I figured. A 336 A DL. That explained the "engraving" on the stock. Very nice rifle, but not the caliber I was looking for. I wonder if that 32 Special was like the 30/30 I sold to my brother it was a glenfield with deer pressed not carv...

Don't want to steal the post but did all the Marlins in .32 Mag come without a loading gate? I know the 32/20 was like all the rest of the 94's,came with a loading gate or at least the ones I have seen in 32/20.

I should add one thing to this post, most of us are scared of something, for it seems like a very bad critter be it myth or truth it freaks us out. For me it is Hornets/ Wasps they just hate me or I hate them. I don't have many snakes here but have picked up a big rattler once as for some reason I d...

It looks like when I go to Banff Park.
Here is a tip through rocks at them to get them to move out of your way as you walk to your favorite fishing spot then come the rut and fishing season is closed they take their anger out on tourists.

I am so cruel.

The last can of real Hoppe's I bought looked like that,I think it was $50.00 CDN but that was back when are dollar was worth nothing like .75cents. Now that the Dollar is equal or almost so or worth more depending on the day you would think the price would come down lol. Not a chance yet Montana is ...

I haver shot a .257 in the Vanguard model, although others tell me that its a bargain. I have had a couple of the Vanguard's in .300 WBY mag and .30-'06. Mine have been very accurate rifles and i was extremely pleased with the choice, regardless of the price. The '06 was a Wal Mart rifle, -- i aske...

It's okay but I have a soft spot for the .264 win. and a dislike for the 7mm mags yet one of my most accurate rifles is a 7x61S&H.

wecsoger, Thanks for the confirmation. I thought that was what the numbers on the bottom of mine meant. My small hood lantern is stamped 1 and 55 on opposite sides of the bottom.

I missed out on buying one of those silver lantrens Coleman made with the Deer etched on the globe about 12 years ago,My latren is from the Early 80s and works as if new. They really made something that works all the time I like the pump up Naptha ones more than propane. My Latren was a hand me down...

Very nice rifle! I have a newer bolt gun( okay not that new lol) a 788 in 30/30 and have been feeding it 150gr nosler BT for years at 2400fps Dare I say it is the almost perfect 30/30. But mine is a un lucky rifle as when it's in my hands I hardly see game only taken 3 Deer with it in over 20years :...

Hmmm smell. I found the old one smelled like the newer Benchrest stuff and that the new one smelled like lamp oil? But it has been a wile about 10 years since I bought Hoppes solvent.

I live in a brick house in a rural area, so my home defense rifle is Old Savage, a Winchester 30-30 carbine.

I have tried them in a couple of my .33s, but was less than excited about the results. They don't load well into the mag and tend to get hung up. I cut the base off of a .348 case and glued it into a extra follower, slid it down the tube so the shell base was exposed, reinstalled the spring and cap...

I think you have to be playing a few cards short of a deck to mess with those bulls too, Bob. One of the guy's I work with has a cousin in a wheelchair from a bad landing.....after a bullride.

I don't shoot without ear protection either, even to make a shot when hunting. I've also lost a fair bit of hearing. I usually use plugs, as I always have them in my pocket 24/7/365. I can tell the difference with plugs, the 20" guns are very pleasant to me to shoot, the 16" guns not so m...

That's a great tradition! I happen to shoot a 40 year old Browning recurve All I need is my arrows and a knife, No sights, no mechanical trigger,or fancy arrow rest, just point and shoot lol.

A good single stage iron press is the way to go. It does not matter what brand, a powder scale is a must even if using dippers lets you check what you are really getting.

It can be done as far as big game 30/06 180 gr bullet. But to think of the 06 as a varmint tool you have to go to 125/130 or the 110gr bullet you could do it with one gun but you would have to sight in for another bullet come Fall and use Two bullets, one for Varmints and one for hunting.

Great job! My big sis raised a few geese a few years ago I got the job to take them out to a nice pond.
Now what I really like about Montana is it looks just like here but you can carry a handgun with you.
Those Geese might just come back to you next year to raise their own little ones.
