I don't know about pushing the standard 50 bmg bullets. I'd think it would be a bit tough to shove one down the barrel but I may be wrong. It seems like most people only shoot saboted rounds with smokeless. So that means no powerbelts also.
This is my first smokeless. I have an inline and a side cap (both blackpowder) but don't enjoy the cleaning as much as the shooting. Savage produced (maybe still producing?) a smokeless ml and there are a couple of other manufacturers out there as well. SMI is actually located in indiana. They...
Just picked up a SMI barreled NEF muzzleloader. Can't wait to shoot it. Any suggestions for a powder scale? The SMI load charts list charges to the whole grain. I'd prefer to measure to the .1 grain if possible. I'm wanting to go digital. Once I do get her out, I'll post some pics of the results.
I don't know what you are all talking about. It's obviously a pregnant lion that escaped from the zoo and is out killing all the deer! Now what are we going to do once she has her kittens and they start killing more deer? I think we are all in for it now.
Spectacular. When I saw the title I was thinking M777 and some guys with a cellphone video of a deer getting hit with a 155 round. This was even better.
I have had a pair of lacross muck boots for a few years now. Mine are insulated so I try to limit my long treks in them. They do very well at keeping the water out, but since they are solid rubber they do keep the sweat in. If you are only traveling a short distance they are great.
We go with a fawn for born this year and a yearling for born last year. But that usually only applies to does since a we call a buck fawn a button buck and a yearling buck a 1 1/2 year old buck.
Why isn't there a caliper in the pic? That's a nice group but exactly how nice is it? Just joking.
Any chances of stretching her out to 2 or 300 any time soon?
That is a nice looking rife!
Savage, Remington, and Weatherby all make a fine rifle. Have a 110 in 7mm Rem Mag, 700 in .308, and a an old Vangard in 22-250. All shoot sub-moa. Gotta say the 7mm is my favorite though.
I should not have put the P&Y and B&C portion in there originally. It was simply an attempt at leveling the playing field based on a set of criteria that are currently in place. It would have been better to say a mature doe for each; to avoid the "trophy hunter" accusations.
Anyway, I agree...
Poll: Who's the more skilled deer hunter?
All things considered equal such as the same hunting environment, hunting setup, additional equipment, etc.. What requires more skill?
Had to edit the original question in order to reduce the hunting ethics responses.
If you are saying that being close to deer doesn't make you a better hunter then why even mention that you kill the majority of your deer at close range? Are you saying that you are a bad deer hunter and just so happen to kill deer at close range? If so… Congratulations. The post was saying that...
If someone is upset with the time of bow season maybe they should take the"If you can't beat them join them" approach and take up the sport.
I think anyone that is capable of getting close enough to a deer to take them with a bow will be a far better hunter if/when they pick up the gun again...
Does anyone on here know air rifles? I have a Logun MKII that is leaking from the fill valve once air is added. It has never had an issue before this one. I have heard of the firing valve sticking open but am not sure if that is the issue. It is not a slow leak; it is immediately leaking all the...
