Either caliber would be fine for any large game in Tennessee. There are, however, far better hunting rifles available for either one. The Mauser is a great action from which to build a hunting rifle. Before: After: I've seen a few sporterized Mosins, but none I thought were that great.

8mm is $20-$40 and up per box...WHEN you can find it, whiler 7.62x54R is more like $10-$20 per box, with milsurp being cheaper, and pretty much everyone has it in stock. The 8mm milsurp has pretty much dried up. Don't discount a 7x57 if you are looking for a Mauser. It is a fine round as well. Also, there are 6.55 Swedes, 7.65s, 308, and several other chamberings you can find with a mauser action.

The 8mm is the better rifle platform, but the 7.62x54R is the more obtainable, affordable ammunition. I'd think performance is close between the two.

Works for me.

742 or 7400 Remington.

I didn't either. That's ultra cool!!!

So, is Brian Robbins Mr. Gresham's promoter or just a big fan? I knew he had the radio show and writes some articles, but I wasn't aware of the television show.

I have the lightweight version, the Cobra. It is an awesome revolver. I can't imagine what someone wouldn't like about them.

I would expect they save the enforcement of this law for repeat criminals whom they can't adequately punish just for being a nuissance. Do you know if this law has ever been enforced as a standalone offense? There is a law in my town that you aren't allowed to traverse around the town square in a motor vehicle after dark with being escorted by a horse rider carrying a lantern. It isn't widely enforced.

That;s a desireable handgun. I'd be surprised if you have any trouble getting rid of it. 6 shots versus the Smith J frame's 5 makes it a great carry gun. Anything with a picture of a pony on it commands several dollars.

We expect a full range report!

We'll trade Larry Smith for him!

Obama, Blagojevich, Rostenkowski, Daley, Emanuel.......Shall I keep going?

Unless you enjoy stirring up feces, "No Sir" would be the correct answer.

Has he experienced a problem with open carry? Would this include LEOs as well as everyone else? If not, why not?

South Carolina gave them all the help they could. If you only get three points out of four interceptions, you ain't gonna fare well.

Do these qualify?

Very nice! It sucks to hide them in your pocket, huh? Are they lined?

That's Grits' boy, right? He sure ain't his daddy!

Three Glocks and a $100 would be a good trade for a Smith and Wesson revolver.

I went to an auction and kept raising my hand until everyone else quit. The nice lady in the auction trailer walked me through the rest of the process.

Hillary?

Big South Fork is a beautiful place to camp and get in some hiking. I don't know much about bugs or "bugging out".

Do you have check weights to calibrate your scales. It isn't impossible your bullet box is mismarked, but I'd think it unlikely. No reason to be embarrassed. We were all new to reloading once, as well as new to everything else we do.
