Columbine victim's father- 13 years later !! Guess our national leaders didn't expect this, hmm? On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton , Colorado , was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful. They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness.. The following is a portion of the transcript: " Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers. "The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart. "In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest opponent. I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy -- it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best. Your laws ignore our deepest needs, Your words are empty air. You've stripped away our heritage, You've outlawed simple prayer. Now gunshots fill our classrooms, And precious children die. You seek for answers everywhere, And ask the question "Why?" You regulate restrictive laws, Through legislative creed. And yet you fail to understand, That God is what we need! " Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit.. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation's history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs -- politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that continue to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts. "As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America , and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA -- I give to you a sincere challenge.. Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone! My daughter's death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!" Darrell Scott Do what the media did not - - let the nation hear this man's speech. Please send this out to everyone you can

I guess we "gun nuts" would call this a miss fire. Sorry don't mean to be joking about the school shootings but you all know if it had gone in the way they wanted it to we would have seen this on the news.

My wife got a 2x2 there tis year she hunted 4 days and we saw bucks every day. Saw a nice 85 inch buck from road but she just couldnt make it happen. Even saw a 75 inch buck in the raod and that just sucked nothing we could do until it went into the thick brush.

I use imr 4831 cci 200 primers 130 gr hornandy sst. Here is whycall it funny dumb or use it but I get sub moa grups every time. I use 130 gr bullets everytime because that was the weight bullet the .270 was made to shoot. I even saw a guy kill a musk ox with 130 gr bullet. I use imr 4831 because the load book said it shot the best and it did. I hope this will help you

In the time after I asked this ? I have done alot of test shooting and shot two deer with my 25/06. I am using 117 gr sst with imr 4831. The sst have worked awsome very little to no meat dammage if hit in the right spot. But on the two deer that I have killed they just drop where they stand you cant ask for more then that.I also have my .270 loaded with 130 gr sst with imr imr 4831 and just cci 200 primers it shoots just as good on paper havent killed anything with it yet. I used some sp but found to but not as good sometimes 1 moa at 100 yards sometimes 2+ moa. I dont know if i will use hp just because it is hard to find one with in my price range

What is your load (bullet,powder,primer,and case) for yor .270 win or your 25-06 rem or even your 22-250 rem. Just started to reload and dont have the money or time to buy 5 kind of bullets or powder so your info will be helpful

Will reloads shorten the life of a factory barrel with faster then factory bullets?

I like the 25/06 my 11 year old shoots it with out any problem very little recoil. To me it feels like a 243 with greater distance and it is very flat shooting

The rifles that I load for are a 25/06 .270 and 30/06

How and why?

I shoot 130 gr sst in my .270 I didn't even look at that powder because Hornandys relaod book didnt say that it was one of the best powders it did say IMR 4831 was and that is what I used

I dont know for sure but my dad shoots a remington 700(270) he got in 1974 or so shoots real good still I shoot rem 700 .270 I have put 700 or so rounds thru it I still get 1" or less groups with it

I would say a 25/06 it is flat fast and little recoil. I have used one for two years and love it even stopped using my trusty 270 witch would be my next in line. Just remember that you might plan for long shots but you might get a close one. The bigger guns have there place but I have seen more deer walk with big guns then dropped in there tracks. Both the 25/06 and .270 are the best imo great from 25 yards out to 500 or 600 no matter what you get get a good scope (leupold vx3) and shoot it alot If you dont reload become friends with someone that does. I shoot about 250 rounds a year with my 3 guns that I might use. So know your gun and what it can do and what you can do with it.If you can find people that will let you shoot there guns.

My dad taught me to hunt it seems like he knows where deer will be even after he will say havent been up there for 30 years or so but if you go up to this peak there will be 4 ridges go to the last one and there is a pocket in that pocket there will be a buck in there. More times then not there is. I just sit back and learn. Also my kids because they have taught me to slow down and take my time.

I talked to a guy on middle martch pass road that was on here and wanted to see if I could find him

Me and my wife had our fifth kid last month. Yes I did say fifth. Here is the good part we where talking about baby names and in a jokeing way is said how about Hunter Coues and she looked at me and said "I dont like it how about Coues Hunter for the name" (he is a boy) I said awsome. I didnt think it would stick but it did. Of course she hunts with me every year. So what do you think? Dont hold back.

How can a ranch private I was told some years back that no hunting was no hunting even for the land owner? Sorry if I am steppin on some toes but just wondering? Even ranchers that I know and I have asked them to hunt on there land said just about the same thing to me and they dont even hunt the land. Just wondering

what bullet are you useing with the H4350 with the 270 i got crappy groups with it I use IMR4831 and CCI 200 primers. Let me know so I can use up this lb of powder

My dad has had trigger jobs done at both places and he would go back. What type of work is he looking to get done

You can diy for under $20

Here is just an idea. Have you looked into managed recoil rounds? Remington makes then for the .270 win. They are about the same price. I have seen them at Sportsmans Warehouse. The write up I have seen is they are good out to 200 yards. Just a cheeper test befor you go buy a new gun.

I just got my 11 year old daughter a 25-06 for x-mas she shot it with out a problem. She has never even shot a 22 lr and the recoil is alot less then a .270 and imo it is a better round then the .243 at 200 plus yards

Here is what I did with my wife. Was in about the same boat 2 years ago. I sent my wife hiking around the rincons with my sendero 22-250 withch is close to the same weight as the one you discrebed she shot and killed her first thing ever. She was hooked but because of the cal I had to get her a new .270 and now I dont have my 22-250 anymore lol. She never said anything about the extra weight. If she really wants to start hunting I would let her choose but if she is leaning to a new gun then lead her to the gun that you are wanting if she don't keep hunting then you can have it but if she does keep on hunting then you have a bunch of new reasons why you need that gun as well. That worked for me I now have a Rem 700 25-06 with a VX-III 4.5-14 just because of the samething you are asking about. Hope this helps you in some way

Thanks for the info. Is there any differance in the nosler and the hornandy sst that is what I have loaded up so far?

Just a tip or info for youI read a write up from hornandy the people that came up with the 17 hmr the bullet travels too fast for it to be shot from a auto loader action. So if you get another 17 hmr get a bolt gun
