    Inline muzzleloader for hunting?

    Preferred current products? Traditions? Cva? T/c? Looking for 209 primer usage, reliable accuracy with a variety of projectiles, break action, and comfort level when the bangswitch activates? Feel free to iterate specific models (optima magnum, t/c prohunter, etc etc)

    Find the flaw in my logic .300wm vs .338wm (Benelli R1)

    I already have an R1, looking at getting a new barrel, ideally this will be capable of going to Alaska with me some day, and many outfitters advertise that they require a minimum .300 win mag (need to actually talk to a few to see how they feel about 7mmstw). This brings it down to .300 vs .338...

    Just a fun day with punkins(explicit content, not for the pie fans)

    Soooo.... took my oldest 2 and youngest 1 out to rid ourselves of the last of Halloween today, a coworker met me with his girl's kids (all 3 are learning, calling him a learning enthusiast). My lil 1 only missed 2x (some shots were at a gourd not shown but otherwise pictured far right in the...

    .454 loads...powders?

    Sooo we're very close to Mrs horsey's .454 coming home, looking at data, I have 2400 on hand for full house loads but on paper, Longshot and universal seem to be where we'd spend most of our time, universal loads/velocities seem right for plinking and fun, trailboss is out of the question...

    Heavy revolver optic

    Good afternoon and happy labor day! We're getting closer and closer to bringing home the raging hunter 5(ish)" .454....which brings us to optic options, this thing will dominantly eat heavy .45lc/light .454 loads (250-260 gr at roughly 1200ish fps) but on occasion will also be kicking heavy...

    .454 5ish inch barrel?

    Soooo my wonderful thr crew... looking at a .454 joining the house, not really looking at s&w, ruger and bfr were longtime front-runners, and they are absolutely still holding that title for other projects, but this one specifically, will dominantly run .45 colt or +p loads on occasion it will...

    Sbr 300 bo using sub sonic ammo buffer?

    I don't know if this is the right place for this, but putting together a 10.5" .300 bo sbr build, dominantly running subsonic ammo, no suppressor yet (later probably, but money dictates can't do it all at once), with or without suppressor, will I need a lighter buffer to expect reliable cycling?

    Bfr bisley grip options

    Looking at finally biting the bullet and getting a long frame bisley 7.5" down to which grips, with the bisley bfr is it simply visual preference? Options are micarta or rosewood, I have a lipseys single7 in .327 with micarta on the plowhandle, would there be any benefit to the rosewood as far...

    Autoloaders help me out

    So I am a revolver/rifle loader about to get set up on .45acp, 9mm, and .380 I'm familiar with loading fl vs neck sizing in rifles and have witnessed debates over .357 sig, but I just read something interesting on the general interwebs and I'd rather hear from my more trusted thr crowd (who have...

    Do heavy projectiles still win with modern (mono and aframe) bullets in play?

    Having been playing around a lot lately with different terminal and external ballistics in various platforms and chamberings, whether we discuss the .38, .327, .357, .41, .44, .45, .454, .460 etc etc etc....do we really need to go to the Uber heavies to accomplish the terminal feats required of...

    Rifle combo dilemma

    Soooo thanks to @LoonWulf and the switch barrel project......I've found myself in a bit of an envious conundrum. Iny perfect scenario I'd be able to utilize ballistics from a 6-.284/240 weatherby (fast twist barrel), a 6.5 leopard, 7 stw, and .375 Ruger. I do NOT wanna swap bolt faces...... I...

    Time for a face off with hunting revolvers

    This MAY belong in the revolvers forum, but the basis for this is wilderness based rather than general use. I'm entertaining the idea of a new revolver, platforms and chambering are both a debate right now. Just as a general basis for where I'm at in my thought process, I am entertaining a .454...

    Light at the end of the tunnel?

    Checking one lgs who's been fairly reliable in getting a couple powders in yesterday, I found the shelf bare. 1 bottle of pyrodex. That's it. Browsing through their other items I mentioned (with understanding) that they had become my go to, and after some chit chat and whatnot, they DID say that...

    Need vs want vs future

    Ok high roaders! I have a 9yr old daughter. She is fearless with a youth 20 ga sa, but lacking in upper body strength to balance such a long weapon, she is an eerily good shot, is not a fan of varminting, but wants to hunt deer/antelope... Her ideal rifle would be a 527 LH 6.5 g, distant second...

    Prism reticles for home use

    Hello, I have a friend fairly new to long guns, (his gross experience revolves around a bersa .380 he grew up shooting with his dad) he has come to range days with me and he and his family really enjoyed it. They finally decided to get an ar15 in .223 wylde. I'm trying to help him find an optic...

    Scope decision for hunting blackhawk

    Curious as to thoughts on available options I'm considering for my blackhawk. I've contemplated the ultradots (maybe matchdot2?) The burris2-7 or 3-12, haven't handled the leupold, also speak to me. I like the quick acquisition of the ultradots, but I hunt where even 2x magnification would be...

    Maybe silly.... .204 Ruger sd/hd

    Just found an ar in .204, I know this was designed for varmints obviously, but if one picked one up in the middle of the night, would the terminal ballistics comoare to the obviously popular .223? Let's ignore body armor for now.....

    45lc lever gun, Ruger only loads?

    So quick question, if I'm picking up a Rossi/win/henry 45 lc would it be safe to run the blackhawk loads? This has always piqued my curiosity.....

    Data .270 vs .270wsm?

    Talking with hodgdon, there are no plans to test new data for the wsm and I can understand why. But I can't help myself.....I wanna run some staball through it, data is comparable with other appropriate powders I'm already using for both my wsm and buddy's win, can anyone argue a point where...

    Czsp01 mag/slide release issue?

    Ok high roaders, got the oldest daughter a czsp01 for Christmas (LOVES IT!!!!!!) over the 4th we were enjoying outdoor targets when I slam a mag home and the slide closes automatically! Yes, it chambers a round. She has previously been loading 17 in a mag as that's all she can manage against a...
