I’d rule out sub sonic myself. I would certainly look into a Barnes offering. As a rule the copper bullets penetration is pretty good.

I can’t tell you, it’s not enough for the new generation of long bullets. I’m not going anywhere with it that shots over 500 are going to happen and I’m not sure I’m the guy to do that anyway. If I feel like I need a heavier bullet I have other choices. I bought it primarily for a yet to come...

Recent experience with my grandkid tells me to be careful about barrel length/weight. His forearm and wrist don’t have the necessary strength to keep the muzzle controlled .

.257 WBY is good enough for the girls I run with. I can certainly appreciate what they have done to modernize the .25 though

I’ve gone to beef fat in burger much improved in my opinion. Prep is the largest factor in my opinion. Loin chops on the grill, plenty of stew meat the rest burger. Roasts dry out so easily I’ve given up on them. I guess I choose venison when the menu can show it in its best light. I don’t...

I was stupid about cleaning and lube for quite some time. It was a source of entertainment/therapy. I’m over that. Carry gun stays pretty clean the rest of them get attention seasonally or when they start acting up.

I’m not too proud to admit, a full house load is all I want. It will kill anything I could conceivably need to kill. When they ask “what are you shooting there” it’s either a quizzical look or the knowing look.

I prefer the DA/SA , I especially like riding the hammer when reholstering. The striker gives me pause at that time.

2 lines of thinking here. Number 1 get yourself a solid heavy suppressor mounted on that rifle. Weight and sound reduction and the recoil reduction all work in your favor. Number 2 is a serious recalibration of your personal recoil meter. I am willing to offer up 10 rounds of 180gr 300WM to...

Probably the wrong place to bring it up, but. Springfield XD SC9mm trigger like squeezing a rotten acorn, I imagine with a little work the slide could be located higher over the grip. It had a feature set the wife liked , so there is that.

Never going alone… Many times that is the sole reason to get out in the woods. Arming yourself is acknowledging that there is some risk involved, that risk is sorta the point of alone.

A blind hole seems odd. I’m not sure I’d ever quit thinking about it when I used it. But I’m not looking at it.

40 mile trip to work here in MN. The weather has been known to get lousy. I’ve been prepared for 25 years now. Never needed to deploy any supplies for my own use, which kinda breeds some complacency on my part. However helping out a few people over the years is a good reminder. Rescued a young...

You sir, have saved quite a bit of typing. I’m reminded of one of the 100 iconic Doc Holiday lines. “Should I hate it” paraphrased of course. It’s a handsome pistol, and has fits and starts of running quite well. There is a MK4 for good reason.

It’s got as much to do with the lever action rifles chambered for the cartridge as the cartridge itself. Those guns are endearing. They also happen to be very capable hunting tools.

The more time I spend on a 2 stage the better I like them. My Weatherby Vanguard showed me what a decent 2 stage could be, that led me to a couple Geisele replacement triggers.

I’m on my second .41 mag. Bought with the intention of a capable stopper when I’m not carrying a rifle. 1st had a 6 1/2” barrel and proved to be awkward to carry, and would start dragging my pants off. After looking at 400 reloads in the cabinet for a few years I decided to get a 4 1/2”...

Choices, I’ve not been there nor have I worked there. It was a touch and go thing when the Disney press gangs came through town. They don’t go into bars, who knew?

As some may recall Southern Illinois is known as Little Egypt. As an SIU alumni I’m duty bound to spread this message, and what better way to remember this? That side glance, nobody’s gonna forget that 😉.
