    Using a .223 for a meat gun. A question.

    .223 I have killed 6 deer with my .223, all one-shot kills through the lungs at distances from 50 to 150 yards. Shot placement is paramount as is distance (I will not shoot a deer over 200 yards with a .223). I use Federal 55 grain Bearclaw ammo. None ran more than 40 yards. The .223 is plenty...

    Blow Up A Gun... Experience?

    20 gauge blowup When I was younger (stupider) I hunted with a Sears 20 gauge bolt gun. When hunting rabbits one day I shot at one and blew about 6 inches off the barrel. The 6 inch part fell close to me. I had gotten mud in the barrel and didn't notice it. Carried it home and hacksawed the...

    243 or 7mm-08

    .243 I have a friend (now deceased) who hunted moose in Alaska. He carried a .300 Weatherby. The locals laughed at him. He said 95% of them carried .243's for their subsistance hunting. They said you put one through the lungs and wait about 30 minutes until he lay down and then skin him out...

    what distances do you zero your hunting rifle?

    Range Sight in at 200 yards. At 25 yards shoot a 3-shot group. It should be dead on or 1/4'' low. Cut the 25 yard group out and put it in your wallet. If your scope happens to get off on the hunt it is easier to resight at 25 than 200. I have used this method for years.

    Knife maker sued

    Knife Any law is expected to be worded so that the most moronic fool can understand it. No one is expected to have even a dab of common sense nowadays. It is understood that a knife is a dangerous tool. Treat it like one. Neither of these folks should get a dime and should have to pay all legal...
