Re: 357 carbine and deer: opinions on the 158 gr Hornady xtp

My son took a nice doe with a GP100 .357 158 grain bullet. Sack a taters at ~50 yards. This year in Ohio, he can use my Winchester in
.357. I told him to keep it under ~100 yds and he will be eating backstraps the next day.
Go for it!

Re: This Time I'm Disappointed In The NRA

Open carry has always been legal in Ohio, since it be came a state. That said, in the hills folks wound not bat an eyeball. In big cities the police may arrest you for causing panic. You will go to court and win. But time and money will make a sour victory.

Only 3 rounds and you must have a plug in the tube. Thoughts on
