    Changing mill surplus bullets to better bullet 30-06

    If it were my decision to make, I would only replace the 150 with a 150 and find an average powder weight in the pulled ammo and apply that to the new 150's. Neck tension is going to be unknown.

    When to Hold Em and When to Fold Em

    I ponder this occasionally myself. All good solid guns in the safe. Nothing fancy. None are getting any cheaper. If I need the money I would sell. Money in the bank. Banknotes just don't sit in the hand as good as well built wood and steel. DB

    Wild hog meat… do you eat it or is it too risky?

    I have eaten delicious feral pork fare. I have also shot a 250 lb boar off a coastal island in South Carolina that smelled and tasted rank. Think pissing on wet burning fur marinated in a vat of sweat. DB

    Thoughts on the Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44 Scope?

    I have one on my hunting rifle. Simple duplex reticle. I'm liking the Firedot more and more. Side focus and zero stop are pluses. Firedot auto off and motion on is great. For $1100ish it is hard to beat. With a DD214 and the VIP program you can do even better. 30mm tube and 44 objective is...
