What 100 year old cartridges do you use
Can never go wrong using Nosler partitions. -
What 100 year old cartridges do you use
I would recommend loading up the 7x57 with 175 grain round nosed bullets for bear. You will be as they say “loaded for bear”. -
What 100 year old cartridges do you use
7x57, 8x57, 9.3x62,250-3000, 30-06, 9x56 MS, 30 remington, 35 remington. The only 2 rifles I own in calibers that are less than 100 years old are a savage99 in 308 and a Howa 1500 in 350 legend. -
How big of a roll does hunting play in your life?
I watch birds on the feeders and encourage my black lab to chase the squirrels away from the bird feeders. That and repair the bird feeders after the bears visit. Keeps life interesting.- MS 9x56

Round In The Chamber
Thank you for the clarification. I never wear a backpack while hunting as we don’t have to walk the distances that hunters west of the Mississippi are used to. Now I understand. If I had my rifle strapped to a backpack I most certainly would not have a round in the chamber. -
Round In The Chamber
Not trying to be a SA but how does one rub off a safety? I have been hunting for 60 years and have never had my weapons safety rub off unless I took it off to shoot. -
Leupold scopes love or hate em?
Only scope I ever had lose zero was a vortex that the horizontal adjustment dial stopped working. It was mounted on a 35 Whelen. Don’t use vortex anymore. I put a 20 year old Leoupold 3x9 on it and it is still on it 5 years later. -
Round In The Chamber
Well fellas you can continue to debate ad nauseam but I am going hunting and will have a round in the chamber and the safety on until I am ready to fire. -

Elk .... Let's see them!!!
That bull will spoil the boy, as he will never likely see or shoot a bigger one. My sincerest congratulations to the young hunter. -
Round In The Chamber
You obviously are not a still hunter! I don’t count either stance as stupid. Each hunter must make his own decision based on his methods of hunting and shooting.
