Rifles nearly all.
I started handloading for my .308 soon after I got it. My first buck was killed with one of my own handloads.
.308, .30-06, 7mm Mauser, 7mm Rem Mag, .25-06, .243, .22/250, and.223.
That’s what I have dies for.
When I buy a new rifle, I buy dies, powder, and bullets in one...
I heard of that on the 700s, but not on the 788.
But the only safety you can EVER count on is the one between your ears.
I had a Charles Daly trap gun, single shot. One time at a shoot it went off when I closed it up into the ground!😳
The next day, I went to the gunsmith.
He replaced a trigger...

It truly sucks being an analog man in a digital world!🤬
And that freaking edit wasn’t there before. Must be a time delay?
It’s been my experience that deer are funny critters. I’ve seen some drop stone dead at a non fatal shot, and others that oughta been a bang/flop...
God dang it. That should say bow hunter!🤬 Freaking auto correct!
Is there a way to edit post?
I know what the heck I wrote, so I’m not anal about proof reading!
Piebalds aren’t as rare as you might think. Estimates are 1 to 2% are piebald. I lost count of how many I’ve seen in separate areas.
Albinos are much more rare. Approximately one in every 10000, or .0001%.
Melanistic are dang near the holy grail of the Bambi world. One in 500,000.
I’ll let you...
There’s a quote by George Washington that talks about this.
“As I age, I find that God is loosening the ties that bind me into this world. And He’s tying them into the next”!
I’m not sure if the quote is correct, but I sure do understand the sentiment!
Please pass on to your friend and his Dad...
I joined the Campfire in February of 01. We had just got our first computer at Christmas in 2000. Me son was 14 at the time and he got me to join there!
Now if I had a computer with a kid using it, I would have that site blocked. It’s not for teenagers or ladies!
I can understand trolling to a...
I fairly knew to this forum. I had been a member of the 24hrcampfire since the beginning. Over 25 years.
Used to be that we were all friends, and could discuss personal topics without fear of reprisal.
Evidently the webmaster over there has decided he’s made enough money from it. He has in the...
My first rifle is a 788 in .308. Bought used in 1977 when I turned 12. Started hand loading for it when I was 14, and used it until I joined the Army when I was 19.
My Old Man started using it and fell in love with it. When I got out in 1989, I bought myself a new Ruger M77 in .30-06. The .308...
Fellow was out stalking squirrels.
As he snuck along, he spotted another squirrel hunter, snoozing with his back to a tree, hat pulled down over his face. He had 5 dead bushy tails laying beside him, all battered around the head.
No gun visible he figured the guy musta clubbed them, but didn’t...
😎 Yep. He was 88 when he died in 2010, and still active.
I drug his last buck (a 7 point) out when he was 87!
Thats another notch for that .308 I mentioned in another post.😎
Both of them (brother Dave) are on “that Big Mountain” that he always spoke of hunting someday.😎
So’s my “Uncle Bud” who...
