That article had a comment from Pope about worn rifling cutters. The rifling with cutters near the end of their lives will have noticeable rounding in the corners of the grooves. Pope commented that those barrels were easier to clean and had less fouling in use. And we all thought the star gauged ba...

Welcome to the KCA Oney. The 2004 issue of Gun Digest had an article mostly dealing with the controversy of the 1903 competition at Palma. I am not sure if I ever read the complete article. But it does have an explanation from Mr. Pope on what was different about those barrels. If one ever sees a Po...

Fred, is your jeep a Bronco? 95 Jeep Cherokee with 271,000 miles on it. It just keeps on ticking. A lot of my friends say they used to have one and regretted selling them, so i will keep this one till it croaks. That neighbor no longer allows me to hunt that property. In the past we killed a couple...

Yeah, white tails can get pretty gentle. I have walked up on them almost at the front door to the house. I have a photo of a whole herd next to the shop, caption would have been "They were applying to work the night shift". The feeder in the photos is less than a stones throw from the hous...

Was outside servicing my Jeep this morning and heard a pig squeal. So I drove out to the county road to make sure they were not on my old place. They were on the south neighbor's place. A couple of photos attached. I drove up closer and yelled at them, they did run off but not as fast as they do whe...

Hope you brought your lunch to that stop.

Oldsoldier, Same here exotics are treated as non game animals. Quite a few axis deer have escaped from game ranches and other exotics also. I think you do have to have a regular hunting license. I have not gotten one in years, so I probably need to do that anyway. Was curious if any could identify t...

My neighbor rebuilt a feeder behind my house last week. I pounded in a T-post to mount a game camera this afternoon and got tied up with a phone call and did not get the game camera set up before the feeder went off. Went for a looksie with the binoculars later and saw something huge and much darker...

Old thread on annealing. Some of us are color blind and seeing the color change is hard. If you are doing a lot of cases at one time the molten salt method is pretty fool proof. Safety precautions are mentioned in the thread, spilling a pot of molten salt would be very bad for your health. http://kr...
