    Need help for Barnes 168 gr 30’06 for elk

    I agree with this. Save your brass, sell it off to reduce the price of a case of your favorite load that you’re already shooting. Once a year trip to a reloading bench to find a good shooting load is only going to end in frustration. Unless of course you can shoot your test loads that same day...

    Never bone out shoulder again

    Yes. Leaves you with two flatirons per shoulder. I leave them in on pronghorn and deer. Pull them out for elk. It is a good steak, just pretty small on deer-sized.

    Self defense pistol recommendations.

    I like revolvers for fun, but trust striker fired semi-autos more based on round capacity. In an instance when I’m trying to make hits on an unfriendly target, while simultaneously filling my shorts, I think I probably won’t print beautiful groups. If it’s your only pistol, Glock or M&P 9mm. If...

    Self defense pistol recommendations.

    Yes. Factory loaded .357 load. Contaminated powder. Primer went off and pushed the powder plug into the bullet. Bullet got halfway out of the cylinder and into the forcing cone. Had to beat it back into the cylinder with a dowel and clean all the shavings out of the forcing cone.

    Chainsaw experts…..

    Homeowner grade saws from many brands don’t measure up. I’ve used both orange brands’ pro saws. I can find models I like in both. I won’t trade my Husky 365 away though. For a smaller saw Stihl 261, Husqvarna 353, 550, 555 have all been good. Jonsered saws used to be great, just red versions of...

    reloading for an AR 15

    This post reminds me that one of these days I should try my varmint load for the bolt action, in the AR. I still have yet to reload anything for the AR’s.

    Trying new rifles this season

    Followed your path, but started in my late 20’s. I’m also going down the path of quickly being done with Savages.

    Hopefully the next company you all use next will like and appreciate the wrong-handed amongst us.

    Uploading pictures from your phone - improvement

    From an IPhone I have had it happen a few times I think. But it’s easy enough to go in and upload the picture smaller. Attach files>select photo>click “…” on bottom left of screen>Options>Size> select any size other than full size. Also for those who don’t know yet, once the file is uploaded...

    Trapping Thread 2026/2027

    Selfishly…. One of my favorites too. It just so happened to pop in my head yesterday when I had three tight chains.

    Trapping Thread 2026/2027

    If they weren’t always muddy, heavy, and needed expensive, heavy traps and equipment, they’d be a blast! Luckily I don’t have many where I’m at now. They were the reason I got into trapping in high school as they were cutting corn and making dams and feed piles on our creek. I got fairly good at...
