    45-70 .457 Conversion

    30 yards with a smooth bore 3 inch 410 is a stretch in my experience. With a rifled barrel you would loose a lot more grouse than you ever recover past 15 yards would be my guess.

    Powder scale rcbs balance beam bad?

    I have been using a balance beam scale for 50 years and I actually don't know if it weighs exactly the same as someone else's. I do have an electronic scale that I use for some things like sorting cast bullets, and I believe it is less consistent than the beam scale.

    Cementum aged critters - Let’s see them..

    I got some tooth ages back today from Matson's. I killed a whitetail this Nov. and was quite surprised at the age. I sent in 6 teeth from critters killed by members of my family and my son's hunting buddy. I will just post a pic of my whitetail. None of the critters were as big as one might...

    Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game

    I have killed a few deer with a 22 long rifle, a few with a 223, and a few caribou with a 22-250. All with 55 grain Hornady soft points. I know people who have killed elk with 22-250, 220 Swift, and 22 magnum. All of these 20 to 50 years ago. I don't see little bullets being any better than...

    Back in the day guys would wear women's panty hose to keep from chafing while hiking. At least they said that was why they wore them.

    308 165gr bullets speed

    I notice that Mustangs is using a powder that probably few have tried. Nosler data shows good numbers with Ramshot Biggame another powder not mentioned above. Their data is with a 24 inch barrel so that would need to be taken into account but would imply that 2900 with a 165 would not be out of...

    What Sport did you play growing up?

    Played little league baseball 9 through 12. When I was 13 and trying to decide if I wanted to continue my dad said, "if you don't play, we could spend the summer going to mountain lakes." I was done with sports forever with no regrets. I to this day rarely watch any sport on tv.

    How to prepare trout

    I like them fried up fresh in butter or bacon grease. If they go in the freezer, it may as well be the garbage can. I release most but if they are hooked bad, I keep them and eat them that day. When I get as much as we can eat, I quit fishing. I haven't put one in the freezer in 30 years.
