    Ruger #1

    I used a #1 for several years- I was disappointed in the accuracy until I went to 50 grain bullets. It would keep three shots around 1/2”or less with W748 powder. I got a 1969 Remington 700 .22-250 because I needed a repeater for coyote calling and passed the #1 down to my hunting partner.

    New 1000 yd. world record.

    I went to a benchrest match in Longview, TX back in the mid-70’s. Great experience! Lots of the shooters were engineers, machinists, etc. Cedar Creek

    Bucks, sheds and breeding

    We’ve had a smaller eight point or so with both sides still in place showing up within the past week. I’ve heard from others in SE Oklahoma seeing the same thing.

    Who needs hi cap mags? 10 rounders work for me

    I have a Ruger 10 rounder I use in my Mini 14. It is actually easier to load into the rifle than the five rounders. I bought a Ruger 20 rounder about six months ago, but I haven’t gotten around to trying it out yet. Cedar Creek

    Ruger Mini 14 Ranch Rifle 5.56/223

    Haven’t checked velocity- I don’t have a chronograph. That would be a good thing to check- I’m sure posted velocity is from a 24” barrel vs 18” on the mini. I’m shooting 24.8 grains of IMR 4895 under the Sierra 63 grain with a CCI primer. Cedar Creek

    Ruger Mini 14 Ranch Rifle 5.56/223

    I have a Mini-14 Ranch Rifle- i’ve been messing around with it for about eight years- functions great, but I haven’t been confident enough in it’s accuracy to use it for coyote calling until recently. It shoots about a 1” group or less with IMR 4895 powder and heavier bullets- 63 grain and up...

    I'm a new member of the 6.5 crowd now

    I’ve used a Ruger 77 in 6.5 Rem Mag for 20+ years. Works great, but I’ve never been able to use the heavier bullets because of the short magazine. Light bullets are accurate enough, but the light jackets don’t hold together on larger deer. Heck of a good coyote rifle though! Cedar Creek

    Sooner State Pawn South is closing

    Dang!!! I’ve done business with all three stores. I’ll plan to stop by the south location next time I’m in OKC. Cedar Creek

    1 caliber you wish you had more of, 1 you think you could do with less of?

    I’ve got a good supply of .223 & components to feed 4 bolt rifles and a Mini 14, plus a good supply of stuff for .22-250 and an assortment of deer rifles. I could use some more Starline .32-20 brass; got a good supply of cast bullets for it. I need a couple boxes of .45 ACP some more .38 Super...

    Recommend a scope for 45-70

    For what it’s worth- Beartooth Mercantile now has a stainless safety delete with saddle ring. Cedar Creek

    Recommend a scope for 45-70

    I have a small Leupold scope on a Ruger 77/44- I think it’s a 1.5-5 with a 20 mm objective. It has a Pig-Plex reticle and it’s called a V-Hawg or something close. I like the small scope on a lever gun- had one similar set up on a Marlin 336 years ago. Cedar Creek

    Probably a stupid question...

    I don't have a .357 carbine, but I load for .44 Mag carbine; I go with H110 and get great results. I've also used H110 with hot .32-20 rifle loads in a modern Marlin 1894CL and it shot really well. Cedar Creek

    Drug testing at work

    Retired federal employee - I had to take the test about 10 years ago along with other CDL holders. We were all clean, but I knew of some employees who left work and didn't return when they were tapped out to pee in the cup. Cedar Creek

    Anybody know how old this might be?

    I noticed that the AE shells from TG&Y contain 20 rounds instead of the normal 25; I wonder if the chain ordered them that way to allow them to sell a box of heavy loads at a more competitive price? Cedar Creek
