    Trying to decide on new state

    I'm from Pennsylvania. I live in Kentucky. I've been to Tucson Arizona. I liked the fishing in Pennsylvania. Deer numbers are down in Pennsylvania. I like the hunting in Kentucky for deer and turkey because they are everywhere. I wish there were hogs and pheasants here. Fishing in...

    Quiet centerfire?

    If you reload and want something more versatile than a .22 hornet . Get a 22-250. They usually have a longer barrel and with lead bullets can be loaded down to .22 lr. I do that with mine. Packs a nice quiet punch and has a better trigger and scope that my .22lr rifle. For your 100 yard...

    Benjamin 392, why did no one tell me how much fun it is?

    For more fun than the law allows send it off to Tim at Mac1 out there on the left coast. He puts the benjamin sheridans on steroids...more pumps more power. Mines a 5mm silver streak on steroids. I have a williams peep sight on it. For precision sniping (starlings) I have to use my beeman...

    16 ga. Why or why not

    I have a 16ga model 12 and a 16ga 11-48 remington (recoil operated) I like shooting the model 12 better. Finding shells is not a problem if you just grab a box or two when you see them. That way you're not running around the day before your hunting trip trying to find some and then griping...

    Why say the bad guys were "gunned down?"

    How about euthanize? Or succumbed to stupidity? I like died of lead poisoning. What ever they call it .... it's glorious day when criminals die from justice dispensed by the victim. The best part is they were locked in the store and the owner made sure they left in a body bag...

    Average distance a well hit deer will run

    I'm sticking with the 30-30. I like my marlin 336 bought new at kmart for $79.00 back in the good ole days. Trouble is using the 30-30 I've shot more ground hogs, coons, and chickens [in the head for butchering - I like shooting :)] than deer. I'm just trying to make sure I make the most...

    Average distance a well hit deer will run

    The acreage is there as long as it doesn't run the wrong way. Since I've only shot a couple deer I'm just looking for the laws of average. On the tv shows they usaually show shooting and the deer runs and then waiting but I'm thinking that's just to make the show last longer. I'm wondering...

    Average distance a well hit deer will run

    I've shoot two deer. One with a 30-30 at about 45 yards and it took a few steps and fell over dead. I shot another with an arrow double lung ran about 30 yards and fell over dead. With my 30-30 and 170 gr winchester superx powerpoint what if I put a shot in the chest vitals or tried to bust...

    25-06

    25-06 75 grain vmax to the head of a buck....from a bi pod rest ....reared up and fell over dead. same bullet into the rear of a feral cat turned it inside out and backwards. The rifle doesn't belong to me. If I didn't already have a 22-250 and a 30-30 I'd get a 25-06 ....or maybe a .270.

    Man survives 21 gunshot wounds: Placement, placement, placement!

    Best to have a rifle when the shooting starts. Friend asked why my 22-250 was still in the car a couple weeks after I had been called on to shoot a ground hog. I told him it was so I'd never have to say "hold on while I go get my rifle" :-). Not likely anyone ever survived 21 shots with a...

    Got everything but the press

    I started out with a pacific c press given to me that worked fine for awhile but then I got tired of changing dies .....you will too. Start with the lee turret! Then if you need to expand some get a single stage. Now I mostly just use my single stage for punching out primers and the lee...

    deer rifle for the beginner

    Take a good look at the 30-06. In compact world of today there's something comforting about the roominess of the long action rifles and the long tall shells. Speaking of such, find a box of 100 grain .270 ammo to take a look at one of the cartridges. It almost looks like a piece of art to...

    deer rifle for the beginner

    My rifle for deer hunting is a 30-30 with a williams peep sight. Great setup! However, I've seen several nice deer out of comfort range for my setup I could have shot if I had been carrying a 30-06 or a 270 with a scope. Consequently, my preference for hunting if I wanted to take advantage...

    Rimfire magnum.

    Saw a similar thread somewhere recently. The consensus seemed to be the .22 mag is not target shooting accurate but it is just fine for hunting accuracy. Very close groups 150 yards and beyond...probably not within the domain of a .22 mag. The 17 would do better out that far.

    Anyone actually used a gun for defense or emergency?

    I stopped at a rest stop on the alligator highway in Florida. I parked somewhat far to side of the building so I could walk a little to stretch my legs. There were no other cars in the parking lot. When I came out of the building there was a car parked right next to mine and a dirtball...

    Why was the .270 invented?

    I know why..... load up a .270 with a 110 grain hornady. Then load up a 30-06 with a 110 speer. Now tell me which one looks sexy. The 30-06 looks like a stumpy girl with no neck who wants to go home to momma....the .270 looks long and lean and ready for anything. ;)
