    Why not the .358 Winchester for Iowa Whitetails?

    Dang Rob, that's nice! Makes me want a bolt rifle to go along with my Savage 99-358 that has put the thump on a mule deer or two.

    Maybe next year.

    Just something to keep everyone motivated!

    Looking to buy a Garand, what do I need to know?

    CMP is probably the best option. You just need to be a member of an affiliated club or organization. Garand Collectors Association is probably easiest if your local range isn't. CMP has a database. Then just decide what you want, fill out the paperwork and send it in.

    Lever Action anyone?

    Isn't it the law that you must own a model 94 or 336? Mine is a 94 carbine with a Williams peep sight. A Savage 99 in 358 is off getting a new stock fitted, and my Marlin 444S is in the safe ready to go. Also have a Browning BL22 and an Ithaca lever in 22WMR.

    Do you hunt from home?

    As I grow older (I'm 57), I've been laughing about my circles getting smaller. How far from home am I willing to go? How far from the truck am I willing to go? I am fortunate in that I can hunt mule deer within a few hundred yards of my house and have lots of access to whitetail and elk...

    Well, that's annoying. 257 Roberts and Barnes TSX.

    Lots of good suggestions here. To clarify some stuff - since 257 brass is evidently made of unobtanium, I sized down some 7x57 brass. It might have "bounced back" and be giving me a little less neck tension than I want. The case mouth is in the middle of the groove at mag length and the...

    What is your oldest firearm?

    1903 production Springfield 1898 30-40 Krag carbine handed down from Grandpa Sid but I've no idea how he acquired it. I've shot it a bit but never hunted with it.

    Well, that's annoying. 257 Roberts and Barnes TSX.

    Let me just start by saying I've had good luck with Barnes TSX. So when I got my 257 I ordered up a couple of boxes of 100 grain bullets but with one thing and another I haven't gotten around to loading up some test ammo. Finally had the time and inclination the other day. Figured out that...

    Let’s see those big bores!

    No pics of my 444, but here's one of my No. 1H in 375 H&H:

    Brittany Spaniel...

    I had a Brittany and he was a great dog both to hunt over and as a house dog. His only problem was after a long drive in the truck I learned to let him out to run off some steam in a place I wasn't going to hunt so he'd be ready to hunt when I was. I do remember him running down a wounded...

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    When I was young and hunting in SW Montana we only had one rifle, an M700 in 7mmRM with a 2-7 Redfield, so that's what I used. It worked but the long barrel got annoying in thick brush so I picked up a Savage 99 in 358 Win and a Marlin 444 that had been cut back to 18", both topped with low...

    MT vs ND road trip

    What Milestone said is about the best advice you're going to get. You can check out the hunt planner map on the MTFWP website also.

    2024 show your dogs success

    No birds due to my poor wingshooting skills, but Thistle considered it a success.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Cleaned and organized. It was a freakin' disaster in there. Hung the wall tapestry that my Marine FIL gave me...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Finally got tired of running into hanging bows when I was eyes down and put them in cases. Now I have to figure out where to put the cases... Also continued cleaning primer pockets, thank goodness for tools that fit a cordless driver!

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Noticed that my expander button was tweaked in my 223 sizer so had to fiddle around and find a replacement. Fortunately had some Redding 22 BR dies that aren't being used and whaddya know, the whole assembly screwed into the RCBS die body. So I'm counting that as a win. Then I got back to...
