I'm looking at a Ruger 77 338 Win Mag for sale on Gun Broker for 669.00, it has a scope and muzzle brake, it has a walnut scope. Has anyone had experience with a Ruger 77 in this caliber or maybe a 300 Win Mag in Ruger 77? It seems like a great price, but I'm unfamiliar with them. Have a M77 chambe...

RIP Mike...you will be with us always

Congrats! Ten of us, after nine days in the woods, only got frostbite and a scraggly looking half spike/fork. Saw plenty of doe, but not one decent buck. Slim pick'n this year. But, the signs are better this year than last. We are in the "Northern Forest Zone" that does not have doe permit...

Sending my best regards...have known the feeling in the past. Expecting it in the not so near future also, my pups are both fourteen and pushing fifteen. Pretty old for their breed.

Old Time Hunter

OTH, Since you don't have a .22 handgun available... I would start with a lighter load to avoid flinching and hindering confidence in a new or first time handgun shooter. Why not start over with a sub-1000 fps 255 gr lead load? Unique, for one, provides many great loadings of reasonable accuracy in...

Get a .22 or k ad forh e thing so light there is no recoil. My neighbor let us use his Ruger .22...started at 15 feet, still could not keep it on the 8" plate. Out of 100 hundred rounds...twenty on the plate. Most scattered way left and down. He found he had astigmatism Yes he does...wears gla...

Do not have a .22 hand gun. The kid is 32 years old, 250 lbs...6' 4" tall and has been hunting since he was twelve (always with a rifle...with a scope). In that twenty years he has had his share of success in bagging white tail deer. But this year he is taking my 11 year old grandson...so...by ...

Ok...looking for assistance in trying to help my youngest son hit the side of a barn consistently with a hand gun. Have tried just about everything, he just can not seem to adjust. First things first, I am loaning him my Ruger Super Blackhawk 7 1/2" barrel with factory adjustable "marksman...

My condolences to you and yours...fully understand the hole that a missing parent can put in ones life. My Father passed two years ago yesterday and I still think of him every day.

Old Time Hunter

I try to buy the Prime Rib when it's on sale, I have a FoodSaver vacuum system, and it really works for saving meat in the freezer. Usually around Christmas, the local grocery stores have Prime Rib on sale, so I take advantage and freeze some for steaks and whole Prime Rib roasts. I have my girls h...

You could always buy a cannalure tool and put them wherever you want. :) Unfortunately Speer does not make the bullet any more, do having a cannalure tool would not help. Plenty of JHP's out there, but do not work so good in my .444...they pretty much explode on impact when hitting game at higher v...

Old Time Hunter

I know they are not JSP but have you looked at the 250 gr Sierra FPJ? Will leave a 44 cal. hole clean on through and busts big bones real good. Pretty much like shooting a big hard cast bullet. John Use the Ranch Dog 265's w/GC...but can not get the accuracy out of them over 1400fps or so for some ...

Old Time Hunter

Ok everyone....need your assistance. Speer no longer makes the 240 gr #4457 JSP's. Down to my last hundred or so...need a replacement. Also need suggestions. After years of experimenting, have finally figured out how to handle the cannelure placement on the Speer bullet. Speer recommends a shorter C...

Great pic!

Add some snow and it could be any one of the hunting cabins around my neck of the woods last November...clothes and all.

Our camp might have had one or two non lever guns instead of the other way around. Our group last deer hunting consisted of twelve guys...all carried a lever but one.

Through the years I have went up and down in weight so many times I never threw anything out. I keep three different size wardrobes.

Sorry you feel that way Joe, in regards to leaving the forum and such. The rest of it is unfortunately the breaks of life in general.

1/2 gallon milk jug (cleaned of course), an ounce or so of vinegar, and a few drops of Dawn concentrate...fill 1/2 the jug up with water and place next to you at the range.

Thanks for the idea Pete...already have a slot filler, but now I know what to do with all the bent leafs I have accumulated.

The 5D just came in the mail today, mounted it up. Hope to have time tomorrow afternoon to range test.

Using the bore laser @ 25 yards, it appears that it might need a taller front sight...but that is conjecture right now.

Also picked up a Kimber Custom II TT...so have to try that out too.

Old Time Hunter

Did the previous bullet hit the target or was it still stuck in the barrel? Was right next to a guy once that did that. I have electronic noise canceling muffs, he had ear plugs. I heard a dink kind of sound and turned just as he jacked another round into the chamber. Tried to say something but he d...

In particular I would like to know what loads and bullets were used for the test, the 10mm in particular. Considering real 10mm outperforms both the .45 and .357 by a large margin, the fact the .357 and .45 penetrated and the 10mm did not makes me suspect it was not Norma spec load. I'm with Frank ...

They were all LEO spec department loads, hollow point bullets. Plane jane boxes from Wisconsin Cartridge.

By the way, I "rediscovered" several hundred .348 Win. bullets and brass I'd bought over the years I owned a Browning 71. Sold it a few years back. Is there a good market for .348 bullets and brass, or is everybody with a 71 overstocked with them like I am? I mean, how many bullets for a ...
