    Mauser Caliber Ideas

    6.5 x 57 would be awesome. 6mm Remington or 257 Roberts a close second.

    7mm-08 powder start

    IMR 4064 worked best in my rifles with 140 Partitions and BT's.

    Can an old muzzleloader be restored

    I would clean it and see how it shoots. My old cheapie CVA 50 cal is pitted front to back and still shoots good enough to hunt with.

    Taurus 44 input *update*

    I have a M44 with the 8 inch barrel I bought used 15 or so years ago. It shoots well with cast and jacketed bullets and I have had no problems with it. I carry it every year deer hunting if I have a close shot but have never had an opportunity on one.

    who all here has friends who served in ww2

    My great uncle was in the 32nd "Red Arrow" division. He was drafted in 1942 and was given rudimentary training and quickly sent to New Guinea to prevent the invasion of Australia.

    Starbucks Strike

    If they don't like the conditions, they can work elsewhere. Nothing and nobody is compelling them to keep eating that sandwich. It's a choice. I always thought I was responsible for my own happiness. Not my employer or the government.

    How many of these pensions are unfunded liabilties that the US taxpayer is on the hook for?

    Starbucks Strike

    When the working stiff starts demanding 30 days paid vacation, 8 months parental leave, etc, etc. Then a cup of already overpriced coffee is $25. What you say is corporate greed is in effect, reality. Corporations make money, investors (us) make money. It's that simple. Why people are...

    Best and worst hunting/outdoor writers

    I really like Ross Seyfried and the late Finn Aagard. I'm too young for O'Connor but he seems to be just as much a walking 270 ad as Larry Wiesenhun is for T/C contenders. Elmer Keith wrote of shooting - his words - (winging shots at actually) a Mule Deer at several hundred yards with a 44...
