    2 outta 3 (pins) ain’t good

    Having a sighting issue. I’ve got my 20 and 30 yd pins set where I want them but I cannot dial in elevation for the 40 yd pin. It currently touches the bottom of the 30 yd and still shoots 2.5-3” high. However my 30yd pin shoot 3” low at 40yds. I’ve tried to eliminate user error as much as...

    Light .444 marlin load

    There is something to say for the hide and skull. They surely can soak up a lot of impact without traveling down the neck. Then there’s times where we’ve shot hogs with a .22 only to find the bullet all the way down between the shoulders

    Light .444 marlin load

    If a guy is using 10-12 gr of powder in that large of a case, is there anything that needs to be considered for the excess amount of empty case? Maybe it doesn’t effect anything I just haven’t encountered it before.

    Light .444 marlin load

    I’m looking to make a load for my .444 marlin that resembles a .44mag or even lighter. Maybe a 200-250gr cast bullet. I have a hunting load that works tremendously but I have a special use for these light ones. We butcher beef every fall and usually just use a .22lr which more often than not...

    .350 legend... sell me on it

    Well I think I have to admit that the marketing folks at the internet😉 got me sucked in. Appreciate all the discussion. Probably gonna wait and see if “ hero’s get remembered but legends never die” is true or not.

    .350 legend... sell me on it

    That’s something I looked into after making this post and with what modern rounds are doing, the ol 30-30 is a pretty handy option. With the benefit of being readily available.

    .350 legend... sell me on it

    Ok gang I‘ve almost talked myself into buying a .350 legend. I hunt the west but I kinda consider 300yds “long range”. Plus I love oddball rounds that do one thing really well. If you haven’t yet look into this cartridge. Recoil and penetration make it look like it’d be a great round for young...

    Help - Need a Muzzy Load for Elk and Moose

    Traditions Smackdown 250 gr with 90 grains of Alliant Black MZ (measured by weight not volume) consistently puts bullets through the same hole at 75 yards out of my Knight DISC Extreme. Quite possibly the cheapest load i have ever come across, $10 for the powder and $15 for the bullets. But...

    Knight .50 cal loads?

    Thanks for all the help. Been shooting a hawken for the last twelve years, prints 1" groups at 100yds but the dang barrel wedge fell out last year after I shot a bull and needed a second shot ( got a little western). So it was time for something a little better built

    CVA vs. Tradtions

    know three guys that hunt with the traditions that have had issues with miss fires. two of them switched to the musket cap nipple provided and haven't had and issue. they don't seem to like No. 11 caps, even magnums. from all accounts when they go off they shoot good groups

    12 years and one long night

    Saturday was the opener of our WA muzzleloader elk season. hunted hard all day and decided to sit in a little rock pile for the night. two spike bulls walked right in front of me. made what i thought was a great shot and the bull laid down but i quickly found out he was not hit nearly as well as...
