I would like to throw my opinion into the ring as well. If the .224 diameter bullets were to be the upper limit, the competition would include the 17 HMR, 22LR, 22 magnum as well as the 22 caliber center fire rounds. All but the 22LR are capable of holding tight groups out to 100 yards. A 22LR, in t...

Skipper, thank you for considering another "postal" shoot! It's been a couple of weeks since I've been on the site and am happy to see the activity on the site since my last visit!! That being said, I am all in with your proposed competition! As you might remember, I sustained a catastroph...

WesF I am going to be in that part of the world later this year. We are going to vacation up in Duluth with the idea of coming back through Indian head country. I have been all across I-94 but never north of that. Tom Kat, Wisconsin has a lot of beautiful areas to enjoy, especially up in the north ...

Our cabin is in the "sticks" of north central WI. We use T-Mobile over the air home internet. The nice thing about our internet gateway is that it's portable so it's also our internet gateway at home in east central WI. In the north woods, the speed we have is suitable to stream prime vide...

Plastic resin pellets are my filler of choice for all of my shooting bags. The bags are far lighter than if they were filled with just about anything else. Plus the fact that I retired from the plastics industry and had access to large amounts of "scrap" resin pellets, I can fill shooting ...

We warmed up today, a balmy 14* for a high temperature in north central WI. It's back down to zero now & should drop to about -7* by morning. Forecast for the weekend is 30* and rain. If we don't like the weather, just wait a minute, it'll change. I'm glad we have equipment to deal with the snow...

I do carry my Taurus model 605 with me into the north woods in case a predator would mistake me for a snack. My Ruger Mk IV 22-45 will also accompany me into the woods during the small game season when I want to challenge myself with some up close opportunities to bring home meat for the table. Thes...

I, like Bill K, refuse to inform/advertise whether I carry a concealed weapon. I know this sounds paranoid but I do have trust issues .

Well...the traditional 9 day gun deer season is in the books. Unfortunately I saw no deer to take home, antlered or antlerless. According to the Wisconsin DNR, preliminary harvest numbers were down at least 16%. A vast majority of the local hunters in my area are confirming this information saying t...

Well...This past Sunday's range time was a success! The work on my 140gr Game King hunting load was successful using the 2nd recipe. Remington brass, Winchester large rifle primers, 40.4gr of H4895 & bullets seated to the SAAMI cartridge overall length of 3.280". I was able to hold the scop...

My whitetail boom stick is a model 700 Remington I purchased in 1980. Prior to that I was relegated to hunting deer with a shotgun because the hunting ground I had access to was in the farmland in WI which was shotgun only. Since purchasing the Remy I've been hunting the big woods of the Chequamegon...

Like Rick & Bill, I'm retired so I have weekend projects all week :D. This Friday & Saturday mum & I will be working at Ruby's Pantry distributing food to the community. Saturday & Sunday our conservation club is hosting a rifle sight in for the upcoming Wisconsin gun deer season. Sa...

Small Caliber Central seems to ring a bell for me!

Gentlemen, first & foremost I would like to thank Tarrin & his dad for starting this forum! Without this site I doubt that I would be as passionate about shooting this awesome caliber & pursuing "Skippy" and his friends. Unfortunately the rising costs of the shooting sports, tr...
