Sorry for the multiple posts. Still getting used to tapatalk.

The second night, seemed like the best time to get them. I didnt know if I would get another chance. The adrenaline was overwhelming. I can say that I now believe trapping is more intense than hunting, bar none. I hit the trip and caught 7 hogs. The last two continued circling the pen over and...

Over the following two days I watched the tracks and wallows move further and further towards our gas wells and small gardens. I knew at this point I had little time to set up a trap before they were too close to homes, and the wells. I'm not comfortable shooting very close to open natural gas...

Went to check the water level the other day on the bayou, and noticed nice big wallows in pretty consistent chunks, expanding from the same area inland.

two didn't get trapped, had to shoot them out. still got skinning to do tonight.. story tomorrow.

your best bet is winnie, north of you. shoot up 45 and cross the crystal beach ferry, and when you hit i-10, go east towards beaumont. there's ALOT, and i mean ALOT of farms, and family farms out there. not just rice-growers either. lots of hog issues out there, and wide open spaces more suited...

the 25$/100 remington 2 3/4 "sport" hulls that are typically 7 1/2 / 8 / 9 and 1&1/8 oz loads run fine in my mec and P/w presses, and i use AA data. they don't last long.. typically the factory fire then 1-2 reloads before splitting/crimp worn out.

I load 357 sig with once fired 357 sig from the local range, using 9mm bullets. I have found the XTPs function best. I use RCBS carbide dies. the 40 brass is too short to reform. 10mm has a large primer which is unnecessary.

And the best kind! after about a year dating, she wondered into my "hobby room" and got interested super fast, after all this time "not carrying about my boring ammo". she's been a very talented shooter for some time, we started shooting together at the range about two and a half years ago...

switch to clays, and your issue will be alot less serious.

The m995 is a tungsten carbide penetrator armor piercing round for the 5.56/223, but is very expensive so the government doesn't stock very much of it, and as far as I know and have been told, the only place it is used is belted up for saw's for the army, and isn't often seen. It is heavily...

Reverse engineering my dads favorite load from 2001. I still have every piece of brass from that lot. I just have to replace the primer, because we used WSR white box which were nickel coated hard primers and aren't made the same anymore.

This one's on me, i seem to have been under the impression 2230 is a spherical powder. Apparently 2230 AND 2460 are spherical, which is great. I have gotten away from all extruded powders except for varget, which i keep about 40 pounds on hand at all times, of the same lot number. I will pick up...

I have tried h335 and it didn't perform as I hoped. Regular 2230 is an extruded powder and I am trying to reserve use of spherical powders, for the ease of measuring in my dillon. Nothing has ever worked so well in 223 semis for me. Hoping someone has a source for it, or knows someone with a...

Has anyone else used this powder? What calibers/results? Does anyone know anywhere it can be purchased at anymore? It was a powder manufactured by accurate arms for "Duplicating the load of the military M193". It is a ball powder with about the same burn rate of AA2230. I've been looking...
