Re: POLITICS - Channel 73 Obama?
I think our country is quickly becoming the very country that our grandfathers and grandmothers escaped from in the 1700's. It's like there is no stoping it.

Re: Garrett's Woodleigh-Weld Core JSP
You are right, % 100 , but what I have been looking for is a good soft point that i can use on everything. I have used the 180 grain power points for years and love them for the old .308 and the .300 win mag. Now I believe I have found a very good bullet for the 45-70. One box should last for a long...

What kind of recoil do you get from the 45-70 using the 405 fnsp in compared to the 325 grain hornady flex tip. Man I got to say those 325's got some sting.

Maybe it is the way it looks. I find the 325 grain flex tip for the 45-70 very good ammo. kind of reminds me of the Winchester power points. For me it is cheap to buy, shoots well, get tight groups out to 120 yards. Seems to work very good on deer, So thats all I need. But with that crimped jacket a...
