RE: .30-378 wby mag- How good is it??

I picked up a .30-378 Accumark at the pawn shop a couple of years ago. Curious, and I had the money. I spent quite a bit of time (and money) messing around working up loads. Finally settled on 180...

RE: .380 vs. .40

If you're looking for something for defense carry as your primary gun, I would agree with driftrider and find a subcompact 9 mm that fits your hand well. I like the Kahr Arms line, except with my...

RE: Need a New Gun What Cal.

I suspect that if your shot placement is not up to what you want, nothing bigger and faster will help. Master your .270 (or trade for another rifle that you shoot well in .270, .280 or .30-06) then...

RE: 338-06 Overrated or Underrated

I've hunted with the .338-06 Improved for five years. Then 3 years ago had Fred Zeglen put a stainless match grade 22" chambered for his .338 Hawk on my Win Classic action. The Hawk version case...

RE: .243 Win perfect for elk

[quote]ORIGINAL: whitetaildeer87

I regard the .243 as inadequate to reliably kill elk, unless distances are short, the elk is a cow or small bull, and that elk offers you a perfect broadside...

RE: Tent Choice

Take a look at Patrick Smith's "Kifaru" line of tipis. These are lightweight, rugged, and nearly impossible to blow over in a wind. Best of all, they come with lightweight stainless steel stoves...

RE: 6.5x284 Who has one?

I've owned an Ultralight Arms Model 20 in 6.5 /.284 for 3 years. Weighs 6 1/2 lbs with fixed 6x Leupold, 24" barrel. It has moved to the front of the gun safe since I started loading 130 gr Barnes...

RE: Pistol Caliber

I would choose a powerful handgun, but one that I could shoot accurately and practice with regularly. Some, like jcb9901 can handle a .454 with confidence. Most of my friends that bought .454...

RE: any ebuffalo bore ammo

I have used Buffalo Bore extensively. They load a 420 grain hard cast bullet in .475 Linebaugh with a wide flat nose that is ideal for large game. When I get the opportunity to fish Alaska, these...

RE: Which Scope?

I put a Swarovski 6X 36 on a custom 6.5 / 284. Optically the scope was great. BUT on my first hunt with the rifle in a constant drizzle, the scope fogged. Swarovski took it back and repaired it in...

A question for those who favor external safetys - how many encounters end tragically because the guy with the defensive handgun forgot to flip off the external safetly in the heat of battle? We have...

RE: What type of Handgun?

I second TScottW99 on his recommendation of the Glock 20 in 10 mm. Buffalo Bore makes an excellent 10 mm round designed specifically for hunting - 180 gr Gold Dot JHP at 1350 ft/sec and 728 ft lbs...

A good elk gun is likely your old deer gun, but loaded with a premium bullet like the Barnes Triple Shock or Winchester Fail Safe. You have confidence in the gun, can hit where it counts, and that...
