As requested............
Most all of the spices I use I order online from http://www.mildbills.com in Tx. They are very consistent. The others are usually found in the "Mexican" isle at the grocery store. I've used/tweaked this recipe over the last 8 years in chili competitions, and I've...
I was finally able to smoke a WT doe with my 35 Whelen! First whitetail since 1993 and my first doe ever! There is not much of a story though.
I stayed up at home for the New Years so I didn't get up early. It was WAY to cold to sit in a tree stand so I decided to just still hunt in the...
It was ugly! Biggest gun show I've seen in our little area so far. Your typical junk there. There was a ray of light shining down on a table WAY in the back, like the rifle gods told me I needed to go there. What I walked up on was truly an amazing site, especially for a SARS(Smart Azz...
My new MagnetoSpeed showed up Friday(have an insider that works for them :grin: ) and what a better way to test it out than get out and do it! Finally got some shooting in on Saturday with the .264, new .308, and my oldest .280. I've never used another chrono, so I don't have anything to...
It always seems that everyone else finds the "to good to be true" rifle/firearm acquisitions besides me. Until recently....................
Went into a shop over in Torrington, WY to look for bullets that a few guys around the US are looking for, and I do tend to find them in the little/local...
Hey folks. I'm looking to purchase a leftover cow/calf tag in eastern/south eastern Wyoming. I don't really know where to even start. The two areas that I'm looking at are 3(which is closest to me) and 6 which is between Cheyenne and Laramie. The reason for those two choices is that they are...
Well, there was not the showing of cooks I had hoped for. This was the 1st annual 5K9 run and chili cook-off to benefit the humane society(not on the national level) and dog adoption drive. All is all it was a great day with good friends and cold beer. I cooked CASI chili, Open Chili, and...
Jackson decided he wanted to go hunting for the first time so his "Papa" arranged for us to head up to his hunting ground. Same place where I killed my Tom last year in less than 45 minutes..... :D
It was an early morning for the little Man. 0345 wake up call. We get to Papas and switch...
FINALLY!!!!
I was finally able to get out with the 1986 Remington 700 Classic in .264WM that I bought last fall. Yes I know I’ve been slacking. After following some advice from some of the .264 “cool guys club”(Tom/Scotty) and so forth, I settled in on RL33. I started at 72gr and worked up...
Well the time arrived for me to take Jackson on his first range trip. He has been a little difficult since the arrival of Triple A(His 11mo sister) and I've been holding off because of his listening issues, but I decided to get him out to give it a whirl in hopes that it will be better all the...
And this one's got a little horsepower............
Picked up this 1986 Remington 700 classic in .264 Win Mag off of another forum and she finally arrived! A particular "pigeon" dropped off some boolits and brass and I've got some dies on the way. I already picked up some RL33 so now I just...
Well I finally got around to shooting some reloads that I loaded up a while back. I actually loaded them with IMR4350 because I couldn't find Varget at the time....I might stick with 4350.
Rifle is a TC Icon Weathersheild in .243 with a 24in bbl. Loaded up 4 charges of 4350 at 45, 45.5, 46...
So, I've got a 6.5x55 Howa Hogue that is a neat little rifle and with all this reboring and such going on, for some reason I don't think I can leave well enough alone. I've thought of a few different options, and others have done the same.
So I thought I'd throw it out there....what say you...
So.....long story short, a gun "fairy" showed up at my house twice this week with guns he no longer has a need for and knew I would be interested. Just so happens this man is my wife's 85yo grandfather that packs heat every single day and he thinks these two pistols are "to pretty" to carry all...
Can I trust this to be fire proof again and will it ever dry out? I had about 1.5 inches total in the safe and .5 inches above the "floor" inside the safe. The deepest water was in my gun/reloading room. But the entire basement was flooded. I got all my guns out and at a different location...
Well I did it, bought me one of them slick muzzleloaders to go after Mr Big this season and got a chance to shoot it yesterday. It's a Savage 10ML II.
First the shop sold me the wrong sabot's/bullet combo(I really know nothing about them) and I had three miss fires with the bullet "plopping"...
As some of you know, this year has been a little up and down. I lost my hunting property last year and was very disappointed, as getting permission in NE is getting harder and harder every year. Luckily I was able to secure a large tract of land to hunt on and I’m very blessed to have it. It...
Well, the time has come that I think I can actually set up my reloading gear and get to cranking out some rounds. I am not going to have a HUGE space, but I'll have something! Lets see your bench's so it can give me some ideas, if you are so inclined.... :grin:
Mine will have to be "L" shaped...
