    Pest Control Air Gun Question

    Look for one that comes with a fully shrouded barrel. I’ve tried most all of the airguns on the market and if you want hunting power with minimal noise you’re gonna need the shrouded barrel. PCP is expensive to get into but it is the way to go ultimately. I can shoot mine while sitting on the...

    Question about dies and procedures

    Some dies do expand and size the casing at the same time. As long as everything is set right there isn’t anything wrong with seating and crimping at the same time. Some prefer to isolate the two from each other but I don’t. It’s one less pull on the press and faster production. Just take the...

    Even In Failure We Can Learn

    That’s really the only way you do learn is by having failure and finding the solution. Otherwise you just got lucky. Nice to know I’m not the only one that gets their butt kicked now n again

    will lack of ammo deter gun purchase?

    Without the ammo it’s just a paper weight. I would buy certain calibers right now if I wanted a replacement but shooting as a hobby is a thing of the past for me and availability of components are taking a toll on everyone slowly but surely.

    Scope for a new air rifle

    Hawke leapers and a few others are airgun rated. That is important due to two way recoil. I’ve had springers that were extremely accurate and still have one that will stack pellets. I ultimately ended up settling on iron sights only for break barrels as they are very hard on scopes and mounts...

    Why is the 155 Lapua Scenar in 308 a viable hunting bullet? Have you taken game with it?

    I don’t use them personally. I use Berger. However one guy I hunted with a couple years ago through a mutual friend used them. Results were similar to the Berger on a hog he shot. No exit at about 250 yards. Hog was hit in the edge of the leg/shoulder into the boiler room. Guess it hit enough...

    Considering getting a Beretta Px4

    One other con is it’s slippery in the heat. I stopped it. Problem solved

    Considering getting a Beretta Px4

    I own and carry daily a px4 full size in .40 s&w. It has been a beast of sidearm. I have close to 25oo rounds through it and it has been reliable accurate and shoots nicely. The rotating barrel doesn’t make it shoot like a smaller caliber but it probably does help a small amount. The only con is...

    My Best Dog Ever Passed Today

    I’m sorry to hear that. Prayers out for you and family. I lost Jaxson my German Shepard last year. It’s hard on a person with a heart for sure. I just recently got another dog and he is a joy to the family. Now I’m glad I moved forward. I was pretty hesitant but my daughters really pushed me...

    Has reloading paid off?

    When I could have saved a lot of money reloading I didn’t. I shot high quality factory ammo by the bucket full. Now I reload but don’t shoot nearly as much. Oh well that’s how it goes sometimes. I have enough supplies to hold out most likely for the next ten years. When things level back out...

    Barrel break in idea?

    I would not shoot steel jacket in a new barrel for break in or any of my guns for that matter. Think of sanding something for paint. A steel file would knock it out for sure but would damage the surface sand paper is softer than what your sanding and wears out and you get a new piece but it...

    Grip size and poi.

    I used to really have to focus on how I gripped my pistols and how I pulled the trigger and all the little details more than any other part of the process. It wasn’t until I began training from the holster that everything really fell in place. Now it doesn’t matter which one I have I’m softball...

    Grip size and poi.

    Check grip. Fingers wrapped around the front strap too far and spine of the grip not in the center of the meat of your thumb. Trigger finger too deep. Both of those cause left pulls for right handed shooters even with a great trigger pull the natural motion of squeezing will pull the muzzle...

    Hog hunt calibers

    Really depends on the hunting. If it’s walk n stalk grab a 45-70 or 30-30 lever. If it’s from a blind with some open fields then a good bolt gun in 3006 or 300 win mag will do it up. Hogs can be extremely tough to anchor. This one ran 130 yards after being hit broadside with a 215 gr hybrid

    Grip size and poi.

    If that doesn’t make sense let me know and I’ll post some pics

    Grip size and poi.

    IMO if your trigger finger is past the first knuckle that’s too deep and can cause said issue and also you can try adjusting your grip a little so the spine of the grip hits the the center of the meat of your thumb. Over gripping will cause that as well. Shorting up your grip a little will also...

    Treating clothes before and during season

    Hunt the wind. I boiled pine needles and cedar one time and put the juice in a spray bottle. I could definitely smell it when I used it so I know the deer could smell it but I doubt that it covered up my stink. Those critters know how to use their nose and they can still smell human mixed in...
