so many choices, so little time! Since I will be only hunting deer this fall, will probably rotate 257 R, 25/06, 270 Win, 6.5x55, 308 and 30/06. Might throw in a 7 mag as well.

we did have a decent supply of baby wipes with us and used them but after 12 days that first shower and shave felt wonderful!

You guys dont miss a trick! Here is the story. As I said earlier, I spined the bear on the first shot and it was academic after that. But since it is a dangerous animal, my guide kept telling me to shoot as long as it was moving. So on the second shot when the bear picked up his front half I...

Guys, although I did not post alot about getting ready for this trip I did have a few posts asking about outfitters and load/caliber suggestions over the past 2 years. I just came back from my long awaited hunt so decided to post a report for those who might be interested. I hunted with H&H...

Question for our pistol reloaders, can you reload 380 ACP using 9mm Luger dies?

That’s where they are from.

I bought a batch of assorted pull down bullets last week and got 7 of these strange bullets I cannot identify. They are .277 diameter, 113 gr weight, no visible hollow point and 3 grooves, obviously an all copper bullet. I was thinking this might be intended for a 6.8 SPC or 277 Fury but that is...

First Trijicon I have owned. Don’t think it will be my last

Also have confirmed my open sights are on to 100 yards. My main scope is a Trijicon 3x9 with a green dot! Trying to cover every base

Already done. I have Leupold QD’s and have a spare ZEISS 2x7 already sighted in as a spare. I keep checking my QD’s after every shooting session or hunt and they have been rock solid

BTW I’m all for taking that 50-100 yd shot on dangerous game if at all possible just want to be ready for what my guide tells me to do

I will be talking to my outfitter again in the next couple weeks. He originally wanted me to shoot a 300 mag but I prefer the 375. He said I needed to be able to shoot a 300 yard shot if necessary. I understand that his experience with clients shooting big rifle might not be the best. But I went...

thanks for all the advice and opinions. Trust me, this Cajun boy, when hunting something that can eat me, will keep shooting until I am certain the bear is dead or I run out of bullets! And I plan to bring plenty bullets!

Regarding the rain gear, I have a brand new set of Sitka rain gear as well as a rubberized overcoat to help. Don’t mind some hardship but at 63 don’t want to be wet and cold for 10 straight days!

LRX is the fastest expanding bullet in the Barnes line. I do have a couple boxes of Swift A Frames in 250, 275 and 300 grain as well as 260 and 300 gr Nosler P’s. I have considered them all and I might be over analyzing this which I tend to do sometime being an engineer! lol! Probably would be...
