    First PD shooting of 2024

    Saturday afternoon late I was able to head out with a friend to do a little doggin with a couple of XP's. He christened his 6.5 PRC XP-100 with his first dog, and it was fun to be there for that. He has already killed a buck antelope with it in 2023, but this was the first prairie dog. My...

    7mm BR XP-100

    We got home before lunchtime today. After unloading, I ran out to Dan Ekstrom’s place to pick up Coco. Dan had done some load development for his six Creedmoor XP-100, and was real pleased with the 100 yard results. Sometime ago, dan had bedded a used 7BR XP that I had picked up used. The...

    New Zealand Red Stag

    I really thought that I had posted this before. A number of years ago, my wife and I took a vacation to New Zealand. She told me that I could do some hunting for 2 1/2 to 3 days while we were there. I knew a guy that did some outfitting in New Zealand, and when he hunted in Africa, he would...

    A couple of 17's and a 20

    I thought I was going to sell both of these center-grip XP's, but the interest in 17's is not high, so I am in the midst of prepping (cleaning, annealing and sizing down) some once fired Remington 221 Fireball brass, for the 17 Mach IV. I cheated on the 17 Remington XP, and ordered some: Nosler...

    Fun, Fun, Fun...Shooting and hunting at night.

    Every since I hunted in South Africa, I have been wanting a solid way to shoot a specialty pistol, especially a center-grip single-shot out to 500 yards (Keep the shots under 10"), from the standing position, using a tri-pod quickly. I have used hog/pig saddles, and items like it, Arca rails on...

    Dan and I taking out some whitetails

    Every year Dan Ekstrom and I look forward to going just outside of Story, Wyoming to do some Whitetail hunting in some beautiful country. There’s not really a shot opportunity much beyond 250 yards, and many shots, are much closer. The best way to describe our time together there is, “Fun!” This...

    Who has loaded for a 130 Barnes Tipped TSX in a 308 Winchester?

    I plan on starting with TAC or H-335 with the 130 grain Tipped TSX's. This will be for my Blaser Pistol (308 Winchester), which dropped a doe yesterday on the spot with a 155 A-Max, in the 225ish range. If you tried either of these powders what did you end up with MV (List your barrel length...

    25 Creed Pachmayr Dominator=Dead Elk

    Being able to hunt with a good Christian Brother is a wonderful privilege. I can easily say there is no way I would’ve shot this cow elk, if I had been hunting alone. It has been my desire for some time, to take an elk with one of my BCG Pachmayr Dominators. That desire was fulfilled last...

    2-Kauger Black Widow Pistols Draw First Blood: Antelope (250 & 754 yards)

    Dan Ekstrom and I applied as a group for an early season tag south of Lander, Wyoming. We were both going for a bigger buck than what we had shot previously or maybe a freak. I can easily say there was no way I could’ve done this without Dan’s help. As of Wednesday, I was eight weeks out of my...

    Christensen Arms = Impulse Buying

    I have never been a fan of Christiansen Arms. Main reason being, is their carbon wrapped barrels will sometimes shoot wonderful, while others shoot terrible. WYSHOT had ended a day or two previously, and while I was trying to get things put up for my shoot, and get ready for my surgery I...

    FUN = Shooting a moving target at 700 yards

    Glenn and I went out a couple of weeks ago to Mac’s Gunworks for some trigger therapy. It was a lot of fun, even though the wind was very challenging at times. I shot out to 1200 yards successfully with my rear grip Kauger Arms 22 GT. Glenn shot his center-grip XP-100 in 22 Creedmoor. Both of us...

    Finally out shooting again

    After a time with food and fellowship with three families on Sunday after our morning worship, Dan and I got out with about 1.5 hours of daylight left to go play on steel. I had not shot this much since last June-It was great. We met at Mac's Gunwork's south of Gillette, and set up a paper...

    Progress with my right Achilles/ankle/calf and overall update

    I know I have not posted a lot since my surgery, but this is a update. I started lap swimming just over a week ago. I have only been in the pool three times so far, but 600 yards, 1K, and 1K have been good. I am NOT swimming non-stop at these distances, but will swim 100 yards, and stop and...

    How many of you are considering a tri-pod to shoot off of for hunting?

    Curious who is doing it or is considering it? 2023 will be the year that I dive into this hard, to see what my limits will be, especially with center-grip single-shot XP-100's. I have used tri-pod's in the past, but I am wanting to get serious about it this year. Using 8" or 10" steel what is...
