Default Hey All! New Here!

I just wanted to say hello to everyone here, it was suggested to me by a few friends that I check this site out and I have been lurking here for a few weeks getting the feel for this and a few other sites. I like this site the best - it seems to have the most commradery which i can appreciaite and little bad mouthing of other members.

I mostly just like to look at the stories that people tell, I will post a few of my own and be able to awnser a few questions from time to time. I will admit that sometimes I will get back to people in an untimely fashion or not at all but my schedule keeps me pretty busy with my guiding and filming.

I thought that it would be fun to use huntingnet.com as an avenue to do some giveaways and drawings for some of my extra gear that Tc and Knight has given me which schould be fun for some.


Got to get going, look forwaaard to being part of your "family" here!! Keep Shooting!!!

Welcome, we have a lot of excellent hunters and MLer shooter here andmost try to be gentlemen in our responses. Our biggest wars are over "strong well designed bullets", which are your words, and why this is important to a MLer hunter. So my first question to you is give us your evolution to shooting the 300g Nosler Partition in your MLer for most game. As a man who has taken game all over the earth with a MLer tell us your bullet journey. Example, mine was
Knight 240g in Knight sabot shot for3 years in a Knight Disc
Powerbelt Hollow point 295 g shot for 3 years from a TC Omega
300g Nosler partition shot from TC Omega, shot for 3 years
300g Barnes MZ shot from TC Omega, shot this year
What is your evolution and why in inline rifles?

Thanks for taking the time to answer. Best Wishes in the Off Season, if there is one for you.
Chap

Welcome Jim. Like you, I've found this forum to be the best - a bunch of good guys (if you don't count one or two Blackhorn Pushers ), and loose enough rules that we can get off topic now and then without having posts deleted. I spend more time here than I do with my wife. She appreciates that.

Since you're considering giving away stuff, there's a corner of my gun closet with a little sign that says "Reserved For TC Omega X7"

(4) If you eat right and exercise, don't smoke or drink, you're going to die anyway.
