    Tough way to go out. Mountain lion attack

    Great off-season practice with the “pellet gun” aka shotgun.

    What round to use for hunting mountain lion?

    12 gauge shotgun with 2 3/4” shell, #4 buck, and full deer choke will do the business inside 50 yards every time.

    Tough way to go out. Mountain lion attack

    Tragic and completely avoidable. I'm sure if a mountain lion or any other threat approached an LEO or wildlife officer they would kill it on sight. We don't have these pests here in SC, but if we did, and one threatned my homestead or anything else I cared about, I wouldn't give a **** what...

    Alaska Grizzly Bullet Choice

    You are spot on. Anyone who would recommend an Accubond for tough, dangerous game has probably never used it on either. They are too soft and lightly constructed for that kind of hunting. Heck, I’ve had one come apart on a medium sized whitetail buck from a 6.5 CM at 40 yards. Terminal Ascent...

    Is the .17WSM dead?

    The stupid thing was stillborn. Only a twinkle in the eye of someone in the marketing department. It was a solution in search of a problem...

    9.3x62 Does anyone shoot it?

    IMR 8202 was the honey hole for me too, both in terms of accuracy and velocity and worked best with a regular strength primer like the WLR. Load density was also very high in Lapua brass. RL15 was a close second, and needed a magnum primer for best accuracy. My CZ 23" all steel rifle is a...

    9.3x62 Does anyone shoot it?

    Which powder? I'm working up a load with the same bullet for winter hogs. I'll post results as they come in. Ought be a real ham'er jammer!

    AR 15 pistol 300 BO no good

    Exact same load with the Hornady 123 SST with same results. 6.5 Grendel hits way above its weight class or paper ballistics. Same for the 6.5x55.

    New cva accura

    Very nice. Hadn't seen this, but seems more expensive for essentially the same idea. Law of diminishing returns??? I'm surprised someone isn't getting sued for patent infringement.

    New cva accura

    Agree. The Vari-Flame with BH209 changes the entire character of this gun. Unreal.

    9.3x62 Does anyone shoot it?

    Good to know. I’ve tried a couple of Hammer Hunters in .375 SOCOM and they are impressive on game.
