    Fixing to load 270.

    I went ahead and bought a pound of IMR 4350,and really like it .I am getting good accuracy,and I assume pretty good velocity with 55 gr wich is what Hodgdon list as max,but I could have went higher according to the Lyman manual..I showed no signs of pressure..I got the gun from a friend,and he...

    Savage Axis .223?

    I've got 3 Axis rifles now,and they are a good value,and all mine function fine..All mine are short action calibers,but all the Axis are built on a long action,and I don't know why..You will probably need to buy a one piece base because the spacing between the two piece that comes on the guns...

    Glad I checked the regs closely

    Here in WV they try to force doe on people..You have to kill a doe between buck kills on archery,or gun hunting to be legal...I don't agree with that policy,but "Rules is rules".

    Fixing to load 270.

    I've had a few 270s in my day,and I have killed more deer with them than any other caliber,and I have pulled off a few long shots when I used to hunt up on the flats..Around here the 270,and 30-06 is the most common deer rounds,even though they are overkill for whitetail most of the time..It's...

    Fixing to load 270.

    The data looks good for the 4350,but I want to try something that I have plenty on hand for now.I probably will pick up some 4350 when I get the chance.

    Rifled barrel shotgun questions

    ..The nickname of Mossberg shotguns around here is "rattleberg",but they are probably no noisier than most other brands,there's just more of them..I thought it was a pretty good sounding deal..He said it is camo,and dosn't have a scratch on it..

    Rifled barrel shotgun questions

    .I normaly don't even fool much with shotguns,but we got a new generator,and I advertised our old one for $200,and the guy called last nite and asked if I would trade for it and two boxes of saboted slugs..I told him I would if it has iron sights,and he said it did..He is suspossed to get back...

    Rifled barrel shotgun questions

    I will probably be getting a used Mossberg 500 ,20 gauge with the rifled barrel tomorrow,and I figure it would be a good "Truck gun" because it has iron sights..I think they must only shoot saboted slugs,but I'm not 100% sure,and I also don't know if it would do any harm to the barrel if I was...

    Hunting help

    I've got Kin in White Pine Tennessee,and they do alright on deer.Around here the acorns are thick this year,and they probably are were you live too,so you should be able to find hot spots in the oaks were the deer have been eating ,.I assume you are seeing the cattle in pasture fields..The deer...

    What would you do?

    That 6 point's daddy is also daddy to alot of other deer ,and if he's always being seen by you he is an easier mark than the ones you don't see.He probably aint gonna be around for long anyways..

    22-250 blown primers!

    I guess you could start conducting experiments like pulling a bullet from a couple factory shells,and dumping the charges in your reloading brass,and seating the pulled bullet in one at the same OAL as factory,and seating your reloading bullet in another like you normaly do,and I would also run...

    7mm-08 powder choice

    IMR 4064 has worked well in my 7mm08.I shoot 139 gr Interlock,and get groups of about an inch,or so..When you say your groups are wide on a cold barrel do you mean cold,and freshly cleaned?,or does it shoot wide regaurdless of being clean vs dirty?.You may have a rifle that prefers a dirty...

    Bruin Crossbow?..

    I messed around with mine yesterday,and I'm really pleased..I bought a Bone Collector block that is supposed to be good enough for 400 fps,and at 20 yards I had to push my arrow out from the back..I set my target at 35 yards,and lined the upper crosshair to that distance.The instructions said...

    I recently decided to take up bow hunting..I never got into it before,but concidering the season starts earlier than gun buck season ,I have decided to give it a whirl..I was about ready to buy one of those Barnett Recruit package deals on Ebay in the neighborhood of $200,but ended up ordering a...

    walmart sells reloading supplies!

    ......Yea the old Great Outdoors sign is gone . Bridgeport equipment is part John Deere dealership,and part sporting goods store..It is a lot better on price,and selection than it was when it was Great Outdoors..I don't care much for fishing anymore,but my farm is not far from Elk Fork lake...

    walmart sells reloading supplies!

    I have bought a good bit reloading suplies at the Ripley Walmart..They stock up good on a pretty good variety of powder,but they are bad to get down to just a few jugs before they restock..The next time you are in Jackson Co. stop by Bridgeport Equipment (formerly the Great Outdoors).It's more...
