Depends on your guns and what they like, but IMR3031 is my favorite rifle powder. It is what I have the best luck with. I know a lot of people like 4895, and both of those powders are very versatile.

shooter

I use Varget or 3031. I get better accuracy with 3031 but Varget is good too, and is supposed to be more stable and not vary as much with the temperature.

I find my Mora knife to be probably my most useful/used knife, but in a "one knife only" scenario, I would probably prefer a Ka-bar heavy bowie or something similar. I really like the good carbon steel Cold Steel knives. I'm a bit of a knife junkie, and there are a lot of custom designs/ma...

I bought mine in the 90's as well. I think I paid $75 for it. Bulk ammo was cheap back then too. I'm not a real big fan of the gun per se, but for a cheap, rugged combat rifle or truck gun it's hard to beat. I don't have much experience with AK's, but from what I can tell I like the SKS better. Mine...

shooter

Done. There's a popular saying that goes something like, "God never gives us more than we can handle". I don't agree with that. I think He gives us more than we can handle quite often to show us to rely on Him and bring glory to Him in some way. I really don't know how that works and I kno...

No, there are two of us. No, there are three of us. At least four of us exist... Better go ahead and make it 5. I am an Elvis fan, though not as much as I used to be. I never did like the Beatles much. I grew up on a lot of "oldies" music spending a lot of time with my grandpa. I've never...

That looks like about the perfect 45-70. I hope to have one in the same configuration in the near future.

shooter

I took a roundabout road to levers. My dad always had a couple growing up, but we never shot them much. We shot the bolt actions and semi autos, but handguns more than anything. Single action revolvers are my first love, and that is what I shot the most growing up into my late teens. I got involved ...

This is always the toughest question to answer, and there are a million scenarios....which is why I have more than one gun now :wink: . I don't think anyone can ever go wrong choosing a .22 LR, but I think I would have to go with my AR-15. It's a bit more versatile with bigger game, and makes a much...

I stumbled on their site a few years ago. They definitely have some good stuff worth taking a look at.

Gotcha. I lived in Roswell for close to 2 years. Met my wife there, and her family is still there. I still frequent the Frontier Sixshooter page, even though I don't post at all these days. I started out back on the Sixgunner site back in 2000, which progressed to the Frontier site, and those guys l...

Welcome! Where in New Mexico are you located? I lived there for a spell, and even brought a wife back to Texas with me. Hope you enjoy this site as much as the rest of us

shooter

That rifle always amazes me when I see it. I think it's amazing they had such "advanced" technology back then. It makes me wonder why those weren't more popular, and why we don't hear more about them.

shooter

No offence to the OP, but why do folks look at the maximum charges first? Second post on looking at a max. load I've read today. Same type post; "I've noticed quite a variation in maximum loads for...". Most don't bother with "most accurate" or "best shooting" loads, j...

I'm big on herbal/natural remedies as well. I avoid the doc as much as I can. I've found that most of the medicines I've been prescribed over my life have not cured the problem, and I don't like the way most of them make me feel. It's like trading 1 symptom of your illness for 3 or 4 symptoms from t...

One of my best friends has one in 30-06. I was pretty impressed with it. It is good looking, very light, accurate, and the trigger breaks like glass. The bolt operates very smoothly, and he has not had any problems with feeding, extraction, etc. yet, and he's had the gun for about 3 years. I would r...

One of these: http://www.emmrod.com/ I was very skeptical of this concept, but then a friend and I got one for one of our other friends for his birthday. It is pretty awesome. It's a little different casting technique, more of a snapping motion, but it works. The actual pole comes out of the handle ...

No problem. I thought it was pretty nifty as well. The limbs are fiberglass, which means they will degrade in the sunlight and heat, but you can buy replacement limbs from that company.

http://www.thepathfinderstore.com/compact-folding-survival-bow-1/ I've been looking at this one for a "truck kit" bow, or for a bug out bag. It looks pretty sturdy and folds down to only 23", which is perfect for stashing in the truck. It comes in 40, 50, or 55 pound draw weights, and...

I used to be an avid sports fan, and watched every football game they were showing on tv. I also played from age 6 to age 18. In the last 4 years or so, I have almost completely lost interest in the sport all together. I grew up in the Dallas area as a rabid Cowboys fan, but they aren't producing mu...

That is gorgeous!!

IMO, don't sell the Drilling. It's too cool and not as easily replaced as some of the others. Plus it will increase in value. I have been in some very rough financial situations over the last 4 years. Unemployed, injured, 2 back surgeries, etc. I didn't sell any guns during that time. Not that I wou...

Embarrassingly, I've had it happen to me....more than once. A couple of times it was my fault. A couple of others it wasn't. Got a batch of either primers or powder once that wasn't very reliable. A couple of other times I somehow missed getting powder into the cartridges (the embarrassing part). Th...

Done. Hope it all works out for you. I don't know the specifics, but I'm sure this is very hard on the boys especially. Prayers that things make a turn for the better.

Done. My wife's family is coping with 2 recent suicides. The people that do this don't realize the destruction left in the aftermath of the event. My sincere condolences.

shooter

A couple of weeks ago my wife's family was affected by a suicide. The 40-something daughter of her grandpa's closest cousin (he is closer to him than his own brothers), decided she could take no more and decided to end her life. As if that wasn't bad enough, this morning we found out that my wife's ...

I paid $50/1000 for the last batch of once fired 45 acp I bought, and I think $70 for 1300 once fired .223/5.56.

I love my Lee turret press. I like a Dillon as well, but it's a bigger pain to fix a mistake on one than it is on a turret. I know some here are not big on Lee products, but all of mine work as advertised. I have Lee, RCBS, Redding, and Lyman products, plus several other brands if you count bullet m...

I just tried 2 or 3 days ago and it didn't seem to be up. That's the first time I've tried in a while, but it sure didn't work.

Was dove hunting in AZ years ago. Shot a dove and it fell. As I was walking over to retrieve it, a dang hawk swooped down and stole it. I guess I prolly just stood there for a minute trying to figure it out. :? I have witnessed a dove get snatched by a hawk before it hit the ground. Pretty crazy st...

Never shot a deer that had been shot before, but have killed a hog that had been shot multiple times.

Absolutely. Hope everything works out. If you need anything holler.

I like Terry. He can be harsh at times and has run off more than one newbie on the forum with his terse remarks, but i find some of his posts humorous. He has a way with words and knows his stuff. I am not excusing his behavior, but I think he says what he says partially just to get a rise out of pe...

When we get a beef from the butcher, it is wrapped in plastic and then wrapped in freezer paper. It keeps very well this way. When I am processing game on my own I usually vacuum seal it.

I hate shaving, and I have a job that doesn't make me, so I don't :D. I haven't shaved in months, actually I've only shaved about twice in the last year. Now I just trim up with the beard trimmer from time to time. When I used to have to shave it was generally with a Gillette Fusion, or a Phillips e...

Got my first .22 when I was 4. Didn't really shoot it much until I was 6 or 7. My dad gave me a few guns over the years, but early on he told me that shooting is an expensive habit, and if I'm going to have expensive habits I need to learn to support them myself. I've got a kid on the way, and I've ...

shooter

Of all the guns I've ever sold or traded, there have only been 2 that I haven't regretted getting rid of. I only buy what I like, so there will be a better chance it will get used. If it gets used, I see no reason to part with it. Just my take. The only tip I can give is that if you think you have t...

I like Bing Crosby, Manheim Steamroller, Trans siberian orchestra for the most part. I also like some of the more fun songs like Robert Earl Keen's "Merry Christmas from the Family", and some of the other country singers' renditions of classic songs. OI, I do kinda dig that Goth stuff. Als...

I'll admit, I don't get into the whole "Christmas spirit" too much. I love Christmas, but I don't do well with the commercialization of it, and they start playing Christmas music and putting out trees before Halloween now days, so it irritates me. I don't enjoy many Christmas movies, but d...

Nothing for me. I am going fly fishing for a few days, but other than that.... I buy myself stuff all year too. In my business it is feast or famine. Winter happens to be famine, so I have to budget carefully and save money during the summer months when money is good to make it through the winter. R...

Jackson Armory in Highland Park is great, but pricey. They have lots of neat stuff to drool over. Highest priced gun I've ever personally seen was in that shop. It was an original 1866 Henry.

Wish I could help, but all mine are size 12, and I don't think I have any black ones. Your best bet might be to run to walmart and grab a cheap pair of rubber boots. I will ask around and see if any of my friends have anything you can use.

I've thinned my herd about as much as it will be thinned, I think. I may add more guns, but I think the only other caliber I want to add is possibly a .308. I would get rid of my .44 magnum, as I never shoot it anymore, but the gun is kind of a family heirloom, so I think I'll keep it. Keeping: .44 ...

You can see from just about anywhere in the stadium. I've only attended one pro game in my life, and it was the very first game at that stadium. The place is huge, but has a good field of view from any seat in the house. However, the people on the floor get very small the further up you go. And it d...

I have Nikon Acculon variable zoom binos. I love them. They are small, light, and pretty clear. I think I paid less than $150 for them. They are 8-24 power. I rarely ever use them above 12 power, as the clarity gets worse and any movement is amplified, but they work great from 8-12 power. I've used ...

Try Keen or Merrell. They both have several models of heavier duty slip on type shoes, and are very comfortable. I have a pair of Patagonia slip ons that I am currently wearing daily. I absolutely love them, but I don't think they are as heavy duty as you are looking for.

Neat idea. I've had my eye on this: http://shop.biolitestove.com/campstove.html#.UlnDQxyvUa8 It has a charger attached to a portable backpacking cook stove. I do quite a bit of wilderness backpacking in conjunction with fly fishing. Kind of expensive, but I like the idea. http://www.youtube.com/watc...
