Glad to hear it worked out well. I remember my first batch of jerky being too salty.

That's why they make an expander die.

I only saw one second of that game, but it was the best football I've seen in years!

I believe he's asking for a rifle; not ammunition.   25-06 is a fine caliber, but not real popular right now. It may be difficult to find one in stock. I'm not sure who all even chambers new guns in that caliber today.

LOL! If I weren't so lazy, I could make a working gun with a set of files, hand drill, basic hand tools, and bar stock. Mike is correct; our politicians are idiots.

Never again for me.

Hope you get him!

Nice deer and welcome to TGO!

I haven't heard David's story. I'd like to. Would you have a link if it's posted on here?

It isn't a high power rifle cartridge. How much penetrating does a 45 ACP do? I'm asking because I have no idea, but I don't suspect over penetration is as big a concern as missing. I wouldn't expect that big, slow hunk of metal to go through an adult and have enough remaining energy to do much.   Heck, they don't penetrate air real well.

It appears in the picture that he used an RPG or something similar. :stunned:   Nice buck!

I've read this since Al Gore invented the internet, but I've yet to see a case in which someone was prosecuted due to the fact they defended themselves with handloaded ammunition. Can you cite a case?

That's how I usually handle it.

We have a pretty good local butcher. I'll take a deer to him if it isn't going to be cold enough for it to hang in the barn. I don't know if he offers jerky, and I prefer my own sausage to his. His hamburger meat, steaks, etc. are acceptable to me, and if I don't have the time to process one, $60 seems like a bargain to me.

I've tried it and prefer to slice the meat.

I've got jerky strips marinating, deer meat and pork fat cubed and soaking up spices so I can grind breakfast sausage tomorrow. Backstrips are sliced and packaged.  I'll start drying jerky tomorrow evening.   The fun's over when you pull the trigger. I don't know why I shot the second one. Butchering one deer is a big job. 2.....well, it's twice as much.   We took the deer my son killed in juvenile season to the butcher shop for steaks and ground burger. It looks like the freezer will be well stocked for another year. Now it's time to trophy hunt.   Do you enjoy butchering deer? Me, not so much.

230 ball on top of 5 grains of Bullseye. If the question involves a 45 ACP, this is the answer.

Twenty bucks says your kids can breach a gun lock faster than you can. At least that would be the case at my house. You can't hide everything from a child, nor can you protect them from everything. Your kids might actually need a gun one day, and at that point a good education will beat the fire out of a cable lock.

I would suggest you teach your children gun safety. You won't protect them from everything through life, and learning to think for one's self would serve them better than any helmet, lock, etc. you could buy.

Are they water proof? The one thing I remember about riding street bikes is that the further I got away from home, the harder it would rain. Why not just carry it on you?

Thanks. I'm 5'10" :shrug:   You should get yourself a Savage.

A Mora kniv is the best deal in the cutlery world I'm aware of.

Thanks! I just ordered two charging handles, an upper receiver vice block, and an armorer's tool from them.

I usually hunt whenever I have the free time and the weather is passible.
