    Convert Marlin 336

    Just thought up the perfect wildcat for you . Neck a 307 Marlin down to .257 and call it the 25 Kentucky head hunter ! Or twenty five tornado !

    Convert Marlin 336

    If you want to go with a wildcat , something like a 30-30 necked up to .338 and blown out would be neat . Or if you can find a .444 marlin bolt to trade out with there are some wildcats like the .375 JDJ that up the power level quite a bit .

    Convert Marlin 336

    .219 Zipper or 25-35 are both pretty obscure these days . There's 7MM Waters , .32 Win special , 38-55 and .375 win " big bore"

    Another disappointing die purchase

    I had a set of Lee 25-20 dies that had a burr cutting down the side of the neck . called them and they said send them back. Got a new set in a few days , like they had crossed paths in the mail.

    Cougar kills young man in California

    The older was 21 , and the younger 18 . I would think they could legally carry a handgun if they had one , but California is a different place then it was when I left there over 30 years ago .

    Cougar kills young man in California

    I read a statement from the young men's family this morning . The reason they didn't have guns with them was that it was opening day of youth turkey season and they didn't want to bring attention to themselves . They are both avid outdoorsmen , hunters and fishermen .The cat did not ambush them...

    9.3x62 vs .375 h&h

    If you can find one , a Zastava model 70 ( not to be confused with their model 70 AK47 ) is a model 98 Mauser rifle from Serbia . They have been imported as Parker Hale , and Remington model 798 and maybe others .

    Semi Guided Boar Hunt In Exchange For Some Mechanic Work

    I think you are right about the gun law deal . Bringing in an AR isn't gonna be a good idea probably . And there is a no-lead ammo law for hunting , so all copper is a must , but there are very good copper bullets so that is not really a hindrance . In Cali. pigs are considered a game animal ...

    Keep .280 Rem or sell for something else?

    Sierra manual list 8 loads at 2,800 FPS and 1 at 2,900 in .280 rem . with 140 grain bullets . It list 5 loads at 3,050 and 3 at 3,100 for the AI . It also list 12 loads in 7MM mag at 3,200 FPS as max loads . I have a .280 rem and its fine , I like it , don't want to change it . I also have a...

    Keep .280 Rem or sell for something else?

    There is an advantage to .280 AI specifically though . It is a SAAMI approved cartridge so there is published data to load it quite a bit stronger then standard .280 . And there is factory ammo for it , too .

    Im looking to do a pig hunt this spring

    Central Cal. Is a lot dryer climate then most of Texas , and the pigs there are almost always excellent eating. @jabell in his thread simi guided boar hunt , is just north of where this one came from a few miles . You might be able to work something out with him to fill your freezer .

    Semi Guided Boar Hunt In Exchange For Some Mechanic Work

    I'm not a mechanic , and I live in Wyoming , so not much help in that regard . But I'm from Carrizo Plains and Cholame Ca , and I can attest to the high probability of getting hogs in that neck of the woods . And that these barley fed hogs are great eating . And that if you eat at the Parkfield...

    Keep .280 Rem or sell for something else?

    I have a model 70FW .280 , shoots very well with 140 or 150 grain partitions and H4831 . I believe if Winchester had made the .270 be the .280 instead , and loaded it to the same pressure as the .270 it would of been the dominate cartridge of the twentieth century , and we never would of had...

    This should get your blood boiling...

    There are exceptions to every rule . Trapping and varmint hunting are not trophy hunting though . The Muslim populations of Africa are mainly in the northern regions , and while they won't touch pork , most of them in rural Africa won't turn down protein . In the southern country's game meat is...

    I think Wyoming ,Utah , Nevada and Idaho are the only states you don't have to harvest bear and cougar meat from .And in Alaska you don't have to take the meat from coastal brown/grizzly's because they eat so much fish it is considered inedible . I can't see there ever being a law to eat canines...

    This should get your blood boiling...

    I think mountain lion is one of the best game meats , Tasty and lean . The pioneers and mountain men never turned down a chance for a lion , lynx or bobcat because it was so much like pork . Remember , before refrigeration pork was a huge part of our diets because a beef was to much meat to...

    Read my comment above . There is no either /or . It is illegal in every state , and unheard of in Africa to leave meat in the field .
