    I Told a Big, Fat Lie a Couple of Weeks Ago

    No sweat, we have all felt sorry for the game we hunt and sometimes pass on. .

    Cow Elk Load

    Agreed - 50 and larger, most states are now requiring larger calibers for muzzleloaders. .

    Cow Elk Load

    60 cal. smoothbores and .50 cal. rifled guns in percussion & flintlock ignitions. Depending on game and distance will determine the charges. Usually in the 75 to 85 grain range of FFF Goex. .

    Elk hunting max range.

    I have shot as far as 125 yards: killing elk, white & mule deer, antelope, buffalo and several elk at this distance in 70 years with cartridge guns but mostly with traditional muzzleloading guns. Have used anything from .308 cal. to 60 cal. smoothbores and .50 cal. rifled guns in percussion &...

    Reading these reports of bear hunting has always been interesting to me coming originally from PA. Here's my latest experience with these guys (bears). As much as we have heard, read or listened to these stories this is not common place per the number of events that actually happen. The...

    Stolen Guns: Please read and pass along?

    The old firm of Green River Rifle Works in Roosevelt Utah had a bunch of guns stolen from the shop, some antique collectors and and a wheel barrow full of new GRRW rifles. None have ever been recovered. An old story that gets repeated every few years, who next ... .

    Longer Barrels On Small Caliber ML

    The lighter the gun the more the barrel starts making circles, that's when shooting offhand gets hard to hold on target.

    Stolen Guns: Please read and pass along?

    In our case (the wife's and mine) when checking with the moving company they had one of the movers quit that evening when they returned to the shop. They are now looking for him in CA, he will probably slide south of the border. The police told me that these questionable guys use metal...

    Stolen Guns: Please read and pass along?

    We hear you, it's hard to except the fact that your guns are gone. This is a voice of experience ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's a big mistake, the worst part is I made it. We sold our home, I packed as much of our wares as possible. Called a moving company to move our items to the new location...

    Hello from PA

    60 years ago I could have guided you to what ever game you were wanting to hunt. Had family with large plots of ground (1,000 acres farms) all over PA, when prices had risen in the late '90s, most of the family farms turned into developments. I moved in 1965, but would go back to PA for the...

    Longer Barrels On Small Caliber ML
