N. GarrettOr, as my wife asks...
How often when you were hunting were you actually holed up in a hotel room in Reno with a hooker?
I hate when she asks that.

rxmooreHow often, while hunting, have you leaned your rifle up against a tree or fencepost (after carefully unchambering the cartridge if you carry with a hot chamber), slipped off your pack, sat down, taken a ham sandwich out of your pack and began to enjoy a quick lunch only to have an enormous buck/bull crest the ridge across the valley less than 300 yards away at the exact moment you have begun masticating that first bite?

I suspect it does, but he is coy in that regard. NS.
I once took a 30-30 into the deep dark woods, and while sitting on a fallen log found that a fart would do instead.

Steel SlingerHow often while hunting do you fall asleep, then wake back up just in time to see that big buck walking off into the brush? Happened to me once.

A friend in MN sat down for lunch with his back to a fenceline and a buck jumped the barb wire behind him. He said the buck landed beyond his feet, said the buck's shadow covered him up. He said he heard the buck grunt when he landed and the wire sliding through the staples on the fenceposts. He was so surprised he didn't get a shot.
It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance

nelsonted1I was J------ o-- several years ago, heard a grunt up real close and a buck was standing a few feet away watching me. I was bowhunting so all I could do was try to scoul him to death

That's why you always eat the sandwich w/ your rifle still loaded and laying in your lap

What's that saying they made us memorize in basic - "This is my weapon, this is my gun, this is for killing, this is for fun"
Your timing was off so you couldn't shoot him with your gun?

Am I wrong, or are there people out there these days who no longer consider the Nosler Partition bullet to be a premium projectile?? Why? Because it costs less than some of the newer ones? If there are I have news for you!
The Nosler Partition bullet will do anything any of the newer, mre expensive "premium bullets" will do!

I use a lot of Nosler Partitions, but will admit that most of the shots I've taken with them could just as easily have been accomplished with a Corelokt. And the new bonded Corelokts would be even bwtter.....

Excellent-always have, even when they were making them with automatic screw machines....
Three of these holes were made by 200-grain Partitions, two by Sierras of the same weight...(7.65X53mm Arg. Mauser)
7X57mm 140-grain Partitions.....
Same
