well done! also, you look quite a lot like your grandad! thanks for the story

@Hunter-Habib, great post and thread! john way was my favorite actor in my youth. he was what a man was supposed to be. a very close second was chuck conner, "the rifleman" the opening scene with him running his lever gun was epic and made a lasting impression on me. pretty great and...

i think a nosler partition or a north fork PP (percussion point) if you want a bullet that will expand quickly and still maintain its weight for penetration.

first off, who is "they"/ second, if you have a 401K, you likely have already hired such a guy to run one of the companies that are in your portfolio. you don't want to have a beer with em, but you don't want a guy like biden/kamal running your portfolio either!

i would try to get him to work for me!

still calls for 50:1 and their premix is 50:1. do you think they your saws burn up at the 50:1? just curious, i have had great luck with 50:1 mix with my stihls, am i missing something

browning t bolt is a possible contender. my t bolt in 17 hmr is extremely accurate, and is a joy to shoot. i suspect the 22's are the same.

without porting it, west coast saws makes aftermarket air filters (breathes better) and a "bark box" that is supposed to make 6-10% more power. it is also louder (i have both on the way). by the way, the stihl dealer threw in a "free" hat with the saw, only had to spend $1450 to get a free...

Eric, congrats on the new venture. you picked a great bullet to advertise/sell. i think the best softs and among the best solids made. i have used the softs pretty extensively and really like em in my double and my bolt guns. hope it goes well!

@robertstuart depends on availability of either. if you have good bullets and available brass, powder, etc. and the skills to handload, then i would roll my own bullets. however, if you don't wand the best for your rifle, then the factory loads will do. you can handload some very good...

I just bought a stihl 462, put a 32" bar on it (we don't have big wood up here but i hate bending when i don't need to) skip chain and man that thing cuts! i also have a stihl 361 with a 25" bar. the new saw was not cheap, but totally worth it. i cut a pickup load with the 361 on a tank of...

well, i already have 2 375's AND that is a purty rifle, i would defile it in very short order with the hunting conditions up here. it is a beautiful gun.

hmmm, it seems to me, this comparison/disagreement is much like comparing the 300 H&H to the 300 winchester. the 300 win is a cartridge that is shorter, maybe a touch faster than a cartridge that came before it.(H&H). the same arguments could be applied to the 300 debate that is now raging on...

they should put this on every news channel as a commercial, all the MSM, on the radio, on podcasts. just get the word out!

for what its worth i have shot 4 brown bears with it. works pretty good on them, but, 200 yards is a pretty long poke at any brown bear with any rifle.

a perfect and classic caliber, congrats on your find! and @rookhawk, very kind to help him out with such specific info, well done!

i bought 3 boxes for my 300 win. have not shot anything with that rifle yet, but they look like a fantastic bullet (200 gr). i agree that the penetration should be excellent, and still make a nice wound channel. i think they are a good choice for factory ammo.

that is a great mount of a honey badger!! perfectly done, gets the attitude just right!

although those actions might actually educate the electorate, the truth is, we as a nation were/are at the brink financially. the national debt is truly a real time bomb. how long could you or i have a income of $100K and a credit card debt of $600K+ (even with a pretty low interest rate) AND...

very nice report!! velo dog and i hunted with juan (and of course phillip/khomas) last april, was a grand time and juan is a fun ph. i am not surprised you had such a great hunt. thanks for a excellent write up.

well, my daughter and son in law have 6 kids. their friends have between 2 and 5 kids. apparently, i run in different circles. no status symbols at my kids house, just great, energetic, fun kiddos!

for what its worth, even our poor and middle class are in the top 5% in the world for income and of course opportunities. many of the people (in this country) that don't do well......choose poorly. i know that I'm related to a couple, does not make me want to run out and save em. i am not...

i believe graham wrights book has some recommendations for a variety of calibers.

@USN, two words brother: "self control" :) and some advice; you shoulda bought a 9.3x62! they are always cheap and attractive rifles. ;) that was a good read, well done!

@Tug, i appreciate the effort you put into this thread. keep in mind, you will likely get a bit of backlash when you dis their favorite gun, caliber, dog etc. ;) now I'm gonna sit back and see what happens, :A Popcorn:

i would like to find some nickel plated (federal) 458 win mag brass/cases.

very cool mount!

great deal on a CRF! i love my mark X.

hey man, i was just commenting on some interesting findings, not how the DOD budget was gonna be blown up or saved.

interesting DOGE findings at the DOD:

re: trumps speech. i was disappointed that the dems could not even applaud a kid beating cancer. there was plenty for them to disagree with (not me tho) but there were some moments that everyone could have been happy about. what a moment when the kid hugged the secret service guy that gave...

you and i are going to agree to disagree. if you want employees at home, good on ya. i would prefer them to show up to work.

the whole zelinsky and trump meeting reminds me of watching a Super Bowl game. this thread has way over 10 pages dedicated to analyzing, discussing, arguing about what the two parties said and how they acted. much like the talking heads discussing strategies or individual players and their...

for what its worth, because i live in alaska, the few panels sitting in the sun just don't do me that much good, especially in the winter, when i need the electricity the most. solar works in some places, (while it is daylight out) but not everywhere.

simply because they had been working from home and never went to the office for a couple years. i think if you are going toward to work for a entity (government or not) you should go in to work. that seems a reasonable ask.

i hope more people weigh in, but, i pretty much think you are right. it also seems to me that is what trump was poised to do. zelinsky supposedly (according to several news sources) had already agreed to the deal (more than once) and for some reason backed out. like i tried to get across, i...
