Double-tapping with a .243 vs one shot with 30-06?
I wouldn't rely on double tapping anything, use a good bullet, as others have posted, the Barnes TTSX 80gr in 6mm/243 is great on deer sized game, get them to fly around the 3200fps mark and go hunting. -
.25 Creed! But Why?
No purpose, just another sales pitch saying it fills an alleged "gap" between the 6 & 6.5 creedmore. Does it do anything better than anything else out there? No. Will it boost rifle and ammunition sales? Probably.- GlockZ

Round In The Chamber
Yes, I keep a chambered round, safety on. Missed a chance at an enormous black bear one time, because in the moment it took to chamber a round, he was gone. Also many times I missed opportunities at good bucks for the same reason. Maybe if I lived out west, where the forest or woods aren't so... -
RIP Gene Hackman
Very sad to hear about his passing. Just very strange the circumstances under which he, his wife and one of 3 dogs passed.- GlockZ

How high or perhaps how low to put a stand.
15 to 20 feet, is the average, especially when you're talking ladder stands which are pretty popular. -
Let’s talk about the 243win
The 243 is still relevant today, the new 6mm craze is always comparing to the 243. The 243 is successful at many things, including taking some rather large game that most people ask," are you sure you wanna use a 243 for that?",low recoil, ammo is plentiful. It's a great cartridge! -
What is your take on the new 7mm Backcountry?
First thoughts, "oh great, another 7mm on the market", but then you start to look at the whole picture a little bit, basically a 280AI, that's yet improved again. Magnum velocities with a short barrel, recoil resembles a stout 30-06 load, Federal claiming powder that is readily available... -
6.5 CM as a hunting cartridge... why?
I wonder if there was such a thing as computers and internet available to people back 1925-26, would this same argument be taking place after the release of the then brand new .270 Winchester? Or the same question applied to 1955-56 when the .308 was released. As someone pointed out, the 6.5... -

Which caliber?
When the 6.8W came out, I honestly wasn't overly impressed. Then the 7PRC hit the market, and I thought, well now the 6.8W would disappear for sure. This past spring, I went on a Spring bear hunt in Idaho, and found out the 6.8W isn't dying, but instead slowly flourishing. I ended up buying a...
