Do you have your loan officer on speed-dial?

I'd have to lean towards the .357 BH as well, especially if you plan to hunt.

Second on my lust/list would be the .45 Colt Vaqueros (higher if you love to plink with CB loads.)

.45-70 250 gr GMX.jpg I have not been able to find info on this anywhere else. The catalog shows it to be under R&D and the website shows nothing (unless it's on the media pages). So, there are no ballistic charts or BCs listed on it. I personally will try them when the bullets become available...

Why load down a 45/70 to a lesser caliber? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLrpBLDWyCI http://www.yodajeff.com/multimedia/sounds/episode5/idontbelive.wav Versatility my friend. It would still be .458 caliber. Not every one can go buy a new rifle every time they want a different loading. Having more ...

Hornady had NEW printed by several things in the 2010 catalog, including a .308 GMX gummy tip designed for .30-30 Win and a new .22 Mag with a v-max style bullet on it. I'm interested to see what velocities they drive the 250 GMX .458 to. I'm guessing the GMX would need higher velocities to expand, ...

I can't believe you won't let me post a comment on YouTube (about how mean, heartless, and cold n2t is :D ) .243 Win is a great little round. I have taken 2 mule deer with an Encore pistol in .243 and have seen others take many deer and pronghorn with it. Good show, Will and Amanda. Are you still in...

I'm glad you knew what that was. I wouldn't have had a clue, other than it was Russian.

Always makes me wonder what kind or "pearls" I have missed over the years. I would have thought that ammo was defective until now.

Thanks for sharing, Jason.

Have not made a #24 as I do not remember a fabric with that number, but it is an idea. We think we have seen it though and am going to check it out. Certain fabrics and designs and prints or logos are copyrighted and therefore the fabric companies cannot print and sell the designs. Some of the fabr...

Come one Joe, tell the truth. You HAD to give that #8 tent away :lol: I bet the number 24 tents sell like hotcakes. (It's the only thing a cat of stature would sleep in :D ) I had to go check the house when I first saw those pictures. I thought someone had stolen my cat! However, if it had been MY c...

Had a guy that worked for me a while back. He couldn’t hear and I didn’t understand “signing” so I just wrote down what I wanted him to do. Unfortunately, he had an adversity to showing up for work and I had to let him go. Then he gave me a sign that I did understand ! :lol: ????Thumb's up???? :D T...

Personally I do not understand what the issue is? Where I am from the majority of the year I do have snow, it is the minority of the year in which we do not. Enjoy! The issue is, this is East Texas. We have laws against snow. :lol: Well, we should. I like to visit snow and then go home. I like snow...

vancelw

WOW, that sure seems to me to be a very light bullet for 45-70. With the right powder you should be able to really launch that down the tube. I actually made a mistake. It's supposed to be a 250 gr GMX gummy tip. I've looked around and the lightest bullet I find data on is a 300gr. I guess it will ...

vancelw

I don't think this was mentioned, yet.

I use cast bullets to shoot at far off metal targets. Jacketed bullets would eventually destroy the target, but #2 alloy or softer splatters, making it easier to see the impact at 3, 5 or 800 yards. The lead collects at the base of the target and you reuse it.

vancelw

I got my new Hornady catalog yesterday. They are showing a new .45-70 load with a 225 gr GMX gummy-tip bullet. No ballistics were listed since it is still in R&D. Kinda interested to see what they claim. I've had very good results from the 325 gr FTX in my own load and have not tried any of the ...

Just sharing the wealth amigo!! :D Really glad I squeeked down there and back between storms! Get your snow shoes out and have some fun!! jb 8) Gee, thanks. You're too kind. :lol: I'm glad you made the slot too. I guess driving in the rain is better than driving in ice or blowing snow. Snow shoes! ...

6" is perfect tracking snow.... :wink: Yeah, I know :lol: The only problem is the Game Warden can track me too! :shock: The worst part of snow around here is when that is melts when it hits the pavement and will all freeze tonight. So tomorrow all the morons will be slipping and sliding in the...

Wow, thanks for posting!

I will definitely have to try this.

Full of SNOW! (Yep, that's a four-letter word) You're letting it spill all over the place :o I expect y'all to keep a better grip on this stuff and keep it where it belongs. Look what was waiting on me when I got home. driveway.jpg The stoopid white stuff is covering up my Texas flag. That's just no...

Yep, really good pics. Thanks for posting them.

Another way you know that Lindsey is a savvy hunter...She managed to get her ram from the woods to the cabin without getting herself covered in mud

Notice that I only was in one single picture the whole weekend. The cameras didn't have any wide angle lenses. You spent too much time in the kitchen to get your picture taken much, but we thank you very much for that! I can't believe we didn't teach Big Mike how to play 42 or numbly-peg. :o What k...

Nope...it's from sitting behind a desk too much and not going hunting and fishing enough.

I blame it on the wife for washing them in hot water, don't you? :oops: I ate some of the critter today. Pretty tasty (everything is with enough gravy, salt, and pepper) A little on the chewy side.

Hey Jason, great pics. I can't believe none of us, including me, took pics on Friday when the water was 10 feet higher! (okay, maybe 4 inches higher...)

WHOEVER NOTED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WET SNOW AND POWDER SNOW IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. You ain't just whistlin' Dixie! Around here, we don't get a whole lot of snow. People tend to throw up barns and sheds with no engineering and use as little metal or support materials as possible (to "save"...
