.44 Rem. Mag., 240 gr. Hornady XTP hollow point pushed by a max load of 2400 or Lil Gun out of a Marlin 1894 works for me on whitetail and hogs. Drops them where they stand and are pretty accurate. No experience with cast bullets.

Salute, Dr. Hedrick.

I've shot it in 7.5 Swiss, .30-30, .30-06, and .44 Rem. Mag. I would compare it to Remington green box CorLokt or Winchester silver box Power Point. A good general purpose hunting round. The price is right and availability online seems good during these times of shortages. The brass is good for relo...

66GTO

I've never broken one, but I got tired of hammering and the mess so I bought an RCBS collet bullet puller also. I like it.

Some apparently may diasagree, but I love my .243 Savage, even with a tuppperware stock, because it is accurate. 100yd. target. Dead center shot was the third shot flyer after the barrel began to heat up. http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh197/66GTO_01/105grVLD40grH100V_zps41afbb99.jpg $400 sporte...

Hunting accidents around here seem to be divided between tree stand accidents like this one, ATV accidents, and accidental (careless) shootings. Unfortunately we had one of the latter just up the road from me yesterday. Two friends hunting on private land, both in separate tree stands. Dark came and...

Got an email from Wideners that they now have IMR4831 in stock. I checked their web site and it appears they just got a shipment in of Hodgdon and IMR powders. Several different rifle powders are now in stock.

I like it! Rangers seem to hold their value better than full size trucks. I bought a 10 yr. old GMC Sierra 4X4 a few years ago on a similar deal. It was traded in by the son of the original owner, an 80 year old man who only put 36,000 miles on it in 10 years before he passed away. The undercarriage...

I will use my Marlin 1894 .44 Mag as my woods gun.

Savage 10, .243 Win, for long shots across the peanut field (105 gr Berger VLD).

He is actually a pretty good writer and more literate than he might appear.

I think I need to get a .35 caliber. I shot a big hog last night with a 7mm-08 and it staggered off. No blood trail, no squeal, no evidence other than the whop of the hit.

Do they fly Haz-Mat packages? I am due some IMR4350 on Friday that I lucked up on.

Walmart has a scattered selection of centerfire rifle hunting ammo (no .308 or .223 for months). No rimfire ammo of any flavor.

If you're trying to boost performance of your engine with a computer chip, think about this. Diesels run at about 1000 degrees, and begin to melt at about 1250 degrees. Gas engines don't run quite as hot so there's more margin for error. If you're not careful. you'll end up with a blown engine. The...

The other thing the tune does is make the automatic transmission shifts firmer, stops the computer from pulling timing at each shift, and raises the redline and shift points. All good reasons for them to void the factory warranty, and very bad for a stock tranny in general. I put over 100,000 miles...

I wouldn't bother with modiying the tune on a Patriot. If you had a Hemi, that would be a different story. I've had two, a 5.7 and a 392 (currently).

No signs of easing around here. I was in my favorite LGS last week and they had a limited supply of powder and bullets. They did have primers with a 2 sleeve (100 count) limit.
