    Nosler BT or Hornady SST

    I load 110gr Accubonds in my Quarter bores and 200gr Accubonds for my 300 WinMags...very good accuracy and no complaints regarding terminal performance...have taken Elk, Coues and Muleys with this bullet...as with any bullet POI is the key...under full disclosure I've always been partial to Nosler bullets...especially Partitions..........
  5. I have an old Western Field pump 20 gauge with an adjustable poly choke...never had any problems with it and the kids have shot alot of doves, quail and rabbits with this gun...I believe Western Field was a Montgomery Wards house brand...you may be able to find out something about your rifle using these website links..... https://www.gunpartscorp.com/Brand-Cross-Reference.htm?mfgr=Western%20Field%20 http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5548699

    Preferred calls for lion?

    The lion in my avatar came in to my turkey calling...Over the years I've been lucky enough to call in four other lion...Twice with an E-Caller (FoxPro Fury & a Johnny Stewart cassette player) using fawn bleats and twice with dying rabbit mouth call sounds...Every lion I've called or even seen was in areas where the deer populations were concentrated...none came in fast and all were in rocky areas with thick vegetation cover........

  9. I have an opportunity to purchase some once fired Winchester brand brass for a "fair" price...A review of several brass suppliers shows new brass at an average of $0.73 each...Of course nowadays there's never any in stock...So my question is what is a "fair" price in today's market??

    WTS cute handgun

    Back when the boys were little and we were raising several hogs a year that exact same type of 25acp became known as "the pig gun"...one shot to the head dropped them quietly and quickly enough for it to become our go to butchering tool...have done a good amount of plinking with it too...never any problems though I still wouldn't make it my primary EDC.....

    Bump for a solid hunting setup....This caliber is an excellent choice for the beginner or anyone wanting a hard hitting predator/deer/antelope gun with very manageable recoil..........

    Swarovski 15x56 SLC NON-HD Models

    In 2008 Swarovski Optik informed me of the following: The serial number I provided to them indicated that the Swarovski 15x56 binoculars in my possession had been manufactured in August of 2000........... At the time of my call no technical updates or mechanical improvements were either necessary or available............ A full set of four replacement lenses were available for 350.00 US dollars plus an unspecified amount of insurance and one way shipping costs(for reasons I cannot remember replacement of all four lenses, as opposed to replacement of an individual lens, was highly recommended and I have no idea if current replacement lenses would be HD glass)....... Black colored Swarovski binoculars were only intended to be sold in the European market and if found in the USA may well have been imported without payment of the reportedly high importation tariffs....... While I have never compared these binoculars to Swarovski's with HD glass a majority of my hunting partners agree that their early morning and late evening light gathering ability is phenomenal.......
