I’m not sure what I was expecting. This was not a project to make a 30-30 into a 30-06. It wasn’t even going to get the Marlin to perform like a 300 Savage. It was meant to get a 30 WCF to do as well as it could. It did. … Continue reading →
As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. Proverbs 26:11 Yeah, that is me. In fact I put a reference to that in my loading notebook as I was cooking up this load.  While I was there, I did a quick review of … Continue reading →
From the D&DH Forum Postby MSHunter » Sun Jul 03, 2011 6:26 pm Here is a question for you more experienced reloaders. On Hodgdon’s website they have a sheet of youth/reduced recoil loads. In the paragraph before the load data they state that a medium burning powder be used and … Continue reading →
I’ve been about ready to bust for months. Here it is September, past the middle of the month, and no one has asked about UV Suppression. Dang! What’s wrong here? Don’t tell me y’all been listening to me and wised up? You mean I’ve been holding back all this anti-UV … Continue reading →
I was looking over the website stats and I saw a bunch of searches come through looking for the “best deer rifle for leaving blood trails.” I figured someone out there needs help. Here goes. First off, why does anyone want a blood trail? I would think a fellow would … Continue reading →
I was over at the KDFWR site and saw the proposed dates for this coming year’s seasons. Something deep inside welled up and I knew I had to start counting the days to the Opener. Look in the right hand corner of the screen. KY Modern Weapons Season for Deer … Continue reading →
Saturday Afternoon: This is the first weekend that I’ve been down at camp since the end of turkey season. We had to skip last week, because Angus had a bagpiping competition (BTW: He won) So this was the first chance I had to do anything related to deer in any … Continue reading →
Remember Romper Room when you were a kid? There was Miss Whatever-her-name-was with that Magic Mirror that she’d always whip out at the end of the show and supposedly she’d see kids on the other side of the TV and call out their names. Romper Room came on the scene … Continue reading →
Assuming you really are thinking of taking the leap, I wanted to share what you what comes next. From here on out, a lot of this is going to depend on your personal style of reloading. What is your personal style? That is hard to say, but nearly every guy I know has his own quirks. We all pretty much get there, but we get there in different ways. The bottom line is that there is more to the color of paint on the press. Each press is a little different, but whether one is better than the other is in the eye of the beholder. The same goes for all the other pieces.
Continue reading →Let me begin by asking some questions:
* Are you satisfied with your selection of ammunition? Can you go to the store and buy what you want?
* Are you plagued by excessive recoil with your deer rifle?
* Are you satisfied with the accuracy of your deer rifle?
* Are you appalled at the price of ammunition?
It seems that every time I go and knock Ted Nugent, I get blasted for being un-American, against the sport of hunting, and a general waste of good air. So when I decided to comment on Ted’s latest missive on D&DH Ethics Shmethics, I figured it was time to take … Continue reading →
It’s funny how you change over the years, and you’re the last to know it. Someone posted a pic of me on Facebook the other day from 1984. I turned 25 in ’84. Yikes! Who is that skinny guy with no beard? I’ve had something bugging me lately. It has … Continue reading →
After he got up he got a good look at me and decided the dog was the least of his worries. In a slow-motion tentative sort of way, he took a couple of bounds, stood a moment to regard us, and then punched the throttle and took off down the hollow.
