    Buffalo Tongue

    I was in a foreign country once (Las Vegas) and the menu was in Spanish. I pointed randomly at the menu to the word "lingua" and asked the server what that was. "Beef" she said, so I ordered it. Lol technically right but it was beef tongue burrito, highly recommend

    Welcome aboard! What's a great outdoor area to tromp around in in New Jersey if I'm ever up that way? Not looking for hunting spots lol as I'm sure they're tough to come by, just wild places to explore. I've heard good things about the southern and coastal parts

    Pad R-Value Overkill?

    For me, Xtherm works 0-40 (haven't camped below zero with it) Above 40, Xtherm is too warm and I switch to anything light and comfy

    223 AI velocity potential

    Thanks for the update! I've been debating between getting a Tikka .223 or .22-250 or perhaps something in between (22BR). It is helpful to know the full potential of .223AI

    Your Purpose-Built Hunting Firearm Arsenal

    (If this thread already exists, please tell me and I'll repost on the original) When I was twelve years old I saved up $150 and purchased a Mossberg 500 12ga pump. I chose that gun because I thought I would be able to hunt every species imaginable with it--and I was right. It was a great...

    Help me choose fast twist Tikka 22 center-fire

    I'm learning a lot here. I had never heard of 22 BR, GT, or 204. Based on what I read at 6mmbr.com, the 22 BR shoots 75-80gr bullets accurately at around 3150fps. The max powder charge volume is about halfway between .223 and .22-250, so I think 22 BR may be my goldilocks cartridge. The BR...

    Thanks everyone for your replies. It's really helpful. I'm going to look into reloading factory .22-250 ammo. My only experience so far is loading new Lapua brass, so I have some learning to do.

    Kentucky vacation

    I second keeneland, the horsepark and the gorge. Best part of the bourbon trail I think is the cooperage in Lebanon. It is a hot, noisy factory but you will see men putting together barrels one stave at a time, steaming them, hammering them together, charring them, and sealing then with...

    Kentucky vacation

    Kentucky Down Under is close to mammoth cave and good for your kids' age. They have tropical birds, Australian wildlife, farm animals you can pet and a porcupine which I'm sure you've never seen before😂.

    Nice! I'm curious, how much powder and what muzzle velocity in your 22x47?

    I guess I could buy factory ammo, use it for practice or coyote hunting and reload it with heavy bullets what bullets do you load and what do you hunt? What ranges?
