The 30-30's "magic bullet"
I have studied and used the 35 Remington a great deal. It's clear to me that the 200 grain Core-Lokt is a nearly "magical" bullet when loaded at typical 35 Remington velocities. It produces an excellent combination of expansion and penetration, and it's very accurate in my rifle. If I had ...

HUNTING RANGE: HOW FAR CAN YOU EXPECT TO SHOOT?
Hey folks. I know distances vary. I've hunted heavily wooded areas in which a 40 yard shot was max, but I've also hunted the edges of fields where shots can be 200+. I guess my question really is: In your favorite hunting areas, how far are MOST animals (deer/elk/moose) when you see them clearly and...

If I don't have the means and care enough about somebody to just "give" them the money, then I probably shouldn't "loan" it to them either. There's no sense in inviting potential resentments. Just say "no".
