My friend has a T/C G2 in 44 Mag and is not satisfied with his groups at 50 yards yet. We were looking last night and the chamber length is ridiculous in this barrel. Looks like a 2 3/4" shotshell in a 3 1/2 barrel. I have a Remintom 700 22-250 that I have to seat the bullet right up close to...

In December 2007 I made the change from a shotgun shooting a slug to a 45/70 T/C Encore handgun. My choice of bullet was the Barnes Triple Shock HP 250 grain .458 caliber do to the successes I have had with the pure copper projectiles in the Remington Coppers Solids I had been using for deer in...

I wonder if you used Grape Nuts cereal instead of media if you would have any brass left in the morning or just hard sharp chunks of cereal adorned with scards of shiny brass chunks? Just kidding guys this is just for fun, have you ever tried to eat that crap?:rolleyes:

I remember a big todo back in the early 1990's a particular brand of pistol ammo was banned and pulled from shelves after being coined "Cop Killers" I believe they were called Talon. I had a box of 45 ACP years ago and my memory is fuzzy but were they offered by several ammo makers or just...

I am so pleased with my 45/70 I want more! I am going to purchase another frame and barrel however I want something unique like 25/20 Winchester. Anyone bought an odd caliber or custom shop caliber they really like? Details please...

I am so pleased with my 45/70 I want to purchase another barrel and frame. I want something out of the norm like the 25/20 Winchester. Has anyone out there tried any not so middle of the road calibers or custom shop calibers? Please share them with us and give lots of details!

On my first Pheasant hunt my brother rounded up a Winchester 1897 12 gauge for me to use. It was a bit long for me and when that first bird flushed I'll never forget the pain it inflicted on me. How many others out there bare a inch long scar about an inch and a half below the bottom of your...

I see tons of posts about Walmart this and Walmart that. I would like to see some posts about Cabelas...I can't be the only one that has noticed they are no longer a store for the real sportsman. Seems like ever since they introduced their Cabelas credit card the prices are no longer...

I overheard a conversation at a gun show between a couple of old timers talking about their shell collections. They were talking about live shells that had lost their luster and said they run them though their vibrating cleaner with ground walnut media. Is this safe?:eek:

Deer hunters hit the field falling on their hind ends in Iowa on Dec 1st 2007 due to a severe ice storm. We had a solid ice coating everthing, you could lay on your back and slide down the hills all the way to the bottom. Day 2 after all in the hunting party were banged up and sore from the days...

I purchased a 799 in 22 Hornet, my handloads are too long for the clip. Is anyone aware of a shell plate for this rifle?

Iowa was bombarded with ice for our first season deer hunt in December, we hunted on solid ice falling on our hind ends most of opening day. I was wearing my Nikon realtree Laser 800 rangefinder on my belt and after a full feet in the air fall my rangefinder was badly damaged. I sent it in to...

Let me know what wholesale and retail shot prices are doing in your area. If you know of an outlet selling lead 7.5 or 8 at a decent price please let me know.

I am having a tough time estimating the value of one of my firearms for insurance purposes. I have a 1915 Winchester Model 12 Pigeon Grade in 20 gauge with a factory 24" vent rib and the most beautiful English stock I have every seen. The Blue book is very sketchy on the Pigeon due to the fact...

Has anyone else ever noticed this about hunting Mule Deer? Every opportunity for a shot an a Mule Deer I have had whether with a bow or firearm has been down hill. I thought nothing of it until last fall when a friend of mine returned to Iowa with a nice 4x4 he shot in Colorado. While listening...

Have any of you Encore hangunners found a really good hip holster? The best one I can find is actually a cordless drill holster to accept my scoped 15" T/C hangun. If any of you have found one you really like pleae let me know!

Attention deer hunters! If you have harvested your wall hanger and have struggled ever since to drop the hammer on other trophy bucks just because they were smaller than the one you already have on the wall, try handgunning for once. At 42 I have taken whitetails as high as 178 but in the last 5...
