Re: 30-30 Trail Boss SUBS

Re: How many of you keep records of the amount of times you shoot a particular gun?

I remember that Terry Murbach kept meticulous records and I know varmint hunters who keep track of every round. I’ve never done this but I think I know why.

Re: Any love for the.22 Hornet?

I’ve never owned one but I grew up reading about the cartridge in a TC Contender pistol and its use on varmints. Now that we are beyond COVID the ammunition seems to be readily available. What’s it good for? Took a couple of 170-180 pound feral pigs with my Ruger #3 and Brian Pearce's Lil Gun &...
