When I first bought the .243, the factory ammo available for it from both Winchester and Remington was terrible. Made it a really bad deer hunting rifle. Too fast for the bullets used, they just broke up into too many peaces. While another type, just whistled right on through, delivering little of the kinetic energy of the round. Then I loaded up some rounds with Nossler bullets. Made all the difference in the world. I hear there are even better ones available now.
If you haven't already tried it, you just gotta give the Federal Fusion ammo a try...here it is is the .223 caliber.
What's all this I hear about coyote farts? I've never smelled a coyote fart but I doubt they are worse than a slypokeranimal fart, and there are lots of those, you know! How do people even know what a coyote fart smells like? Maybe they smell good! Maybe we should bottle some... Oh. Coyote facts? Nevermind! barfo
I remember a cougar attack on a grandmother in Boyds, Washington about a week after we spent two weeks in about a mile South of Orient, Washington in an A frame cabin on the Kettle river. Gorgeous country there where our relative's cabin was once used by Speaker of the House, Tim Foley. So we were about 11 miles from Canada to our North and about 11 miles from Boyds to our South. So, this grandmother was doing housework of some sort while she babysat this toddler. Unbeknownst to her a cougar managed to nose it's way past a screen door on a warm summer day into the house where it found the toddler. It proceeded to grab the toddler's head with it's mouth and drag the child out of the house. The grandmother then learned what was going on and chased the cougar off with a broom. The next day hunters, and virtually all men around there are hunters, grabbed their rifles and went hunting. They found the cougar and killed it. Never had a problem since and this must have been at least 30 years ago.
I haven’t had him since I was 19 or 20, but I knew I had some pics around somewhere. I think he’s getting a bath in the first one. Got skunked.
