In less than three weeks my wildcat will be a sidearm. Time for the big boys! Yippee
The squirrels will get a short break.Â

Reed's gun shop Minnesota. Also known as northern firearms on gunbroker. Great folks. No tax, free shipping. I asked them to pick me out some nice wood and they nailed it!"ashes5"Nice wood on the rifle
I slice the tenderloin and pan fry with a little olive oil or butter. Back straps I also like to marinate and do shishkabobs with pineapple, mushrooms, tomatoes and green peppers. Cube some and the rest ground or sausage."Aftica"That is some big and nice fluffy meat, what preferences you got for the meat? Some filets and dry/smoke/salt the rest? Okey am hungry![]()
(OT) .243 Winchester seems like a honey of a caliber. I have its red-headed cousin, 6mm Remington. That's the rifle (gifted from a great uncle) that made me take up hand-loading. It didn't shoot worth a darn with the two factory loadings I could find. Improved it 100% with my first attempt at handloads, but it is still not a tack-driver. Maybe 2" groups @ 100 yards."plinker"Bar .308 pictured though I like my .243 most. Range 10yards to 200 yards, but mostly 50 or less in dense river bottoms.
