Not sure if this has been posted before but I just ran across this, all I can say is wow:eek: http://www.weatherby.com/products/ammunition/6-5-300-wby-mag-4.html

I have a quick question for you folks. I just got back from spending 9 hours out in the woods hunting. When I got back to the house I went to wiping down my firearms as always, and noticed that the retaining pin for the rear sight was protruding from the left side of the frame. No big deal...

Well grouse season finally opened up a couple of weekends ago and I was chompin' at the bit to hit the woods. When I got to the small creek to cross over the single 2x6 which my buddy calls a bridge (in secret I call it a death contraption especially in the winter) I found some bear scat. At...

I was reading a article the other day on this topic and came away thinking the author made a very good case for these. I have messed with these some a couple years ago using data found in the older Speer #13 & #12 manuals. From what I recall they seemed to shoot fine at the range but I kinda'...

Saw this over at Leverguns and thought I'd share it with everyone here. I'm sure it was a very memorable hunt for the young hunter. http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=63352

I have been giving a lot of thought to this cartridge over the last couple of days. It seems to be a very well balanced and efficient cartridge, I think that Hornady really got it right. I was looking at the Ruger American Predator rifle but can't seem to find any reviews about it anywhere in...

I decided to take the leap and purchase some of these bullets to test in my M10 and see how I like them. These will be the first jacketed bullets that I've loaded in my .38 SPL, normally I use cast bullets. However I've been intrigued with the late "Treasury Load" and want to do my best to...

It has been sometime that I have bought any bullets to reload or even kept current on new or recent developments in the cast bullet community. After looking around at a couple different vendors web sites I've noticed this new Hi-Tek coating that is being offered. Some of the claimed benefits is...

Today is the opening day of the NY Northern Zone Deer season. Got up bright and early and headed out, was sitting at my spot on a ridge by 7:11. On the trek out I had to cross a small creek that feeds a swamp, at one point there is a makeshift bridge that consists of nothing more than a length...

Quick queston here, I was thinking about using these this year with my rifiled barrel as I haven't used that barrel in probably over 10 years. When I found some of the slugs I just couldn't believe the price of the things. For a box of the 3" slugs they wanted $13.99:what: For that price I would...

Since the weather was nice today the wife and I went to the range to get our shotguns sighted in for the upcoming deer season. Today I quickly remembered how brutal it is sighting in a 12GA with slugs, and turkey loads are even worse:eek: I shot about 12 slugs at only 25 yards and called it...

As the title of the thread asks, where did all of the lead BB loads go especially the 2 3/4'' loads. The only ones that I see being offered up today is from Hornady and Federal, but both of those are 3". What happened to these loads? I think this load had a lot of possibilities.

Well I finally got the chance to pattern my single shot NEF 20GA Pardner with MOD choke. This was very informal pattern testing as I was also instructing Mrs. 336A how to properly use and shoot her Mossberg 20GA Super Bantam. For shotshells I brought along a box of Federal promotional #7.5, the...

Not to long ago I posted that I was having issues with my new at the time 20 GA Pardner piercing primers on Remington ammo. Since that time I bought and used some Winchester 7/8 oz. game loads and slugs. To date I haven't had one pierced primer on the Winchester ammo. The Remington game loads...

I've been a 12 gauge guy ever since I started hunting and really never gave the 20 gauge much thought. That is until I purchased I H&R Pardner in 20 gauge not to long ago. Now I just can't seem to put the 20 gauge down, everytime I go out I reach for that handy little H&R Pardner and leave the...

A few weeks ago I finally sold my Marlin 1894SS .44 mag. I used it a couple of times for deer hunting and was very unsatisfied with it's performance on deer. Even with a stout handload using H110 and a 240gr Hornady XTP-HP the performance wasn't what I'd expected. The deer that I took with it...

Well I just filled my doe tag with the little 20GA Pardner, that tags me out for the NY deer season, and just in time to seeing as we have that arctic front moving in tonight. This is the first deer that I got with a 20GA and it did a splendid job. She was pretty close to 50 yards out, so...

I picked up some of these just the other day for my H&R pardner 20GA. One of the slugs was sacraficed in the name of science. A lot of people seem to think that slugs in general are under sized. Years ago this used to be the case, anymore though they are full bore diameter. Once I got the slug...

Lately I'be been thinking about getting a H&R single shot shotgun. However I can't seem to decide between 20GA or 12GA. This gun will mainly be used for upland game, woods bumming, and some deer hunting. I already have a good 12GA so should I round things out with a 20?

What are everyones thoughts/opinions on this subject? I've been using rifled slugs for the past two years now. Last year it was brenneke K.O. slugs, but I can't seem to find them this year, so it has been Win Super X foster slugs. Both shoot right to the beads of my 20" field barrel on my...
