For home defense get a semi-auto 12 gauge defense shotgun. Load it with birdshot to mame and buckshot to kill. You don't have to be precise with your aim to be effective. Under a severely stressful home invasion you won't be precise. If you don't hit center mass, you may still get a couple of...

That's interesting news about the FAL popping primers with factory ammo. I had a C1A1 Canadian "inch" FAL and it would pop primers down into the trigger area and jam the rifle. I would have to unload and take apart the rifle to clear it. I didn't know it was a documented issue with only being...

So I have read all of the comments thus far, and while there have been valid claims and blames, this situation is a multi-headed monster. It is our moral duty as hunters to hone our craft to ensure the quickest and most humane kill possible. We truly owe that to the animals that God has blessed...

If it falls through I'll take it.

There used to be a guy over in the Punta Gorda area that's not too far from Orlando. I went there probably 7-8 years ago. He used dogs and spears. It was pretty wild!

Any pictures?

BTW this was my experience using a 45 cal TC omega with 45 cal Hornady SST 195 grain sabot(40cal projectile) using three 50 grain triple7 pellets. That load chronograph at 2394fps, I rounded up to 2400. A guy at the range let me use his chronograph once and only once. When the smoke cloud, firey...

I used ML exclusively before Indiana allowed Hi-Po rifles. I have now succumbed to the ease of modern rifles. I still use what I have learned from my days of being a smoke pole sniper. One thing was to wait patiently for the best shot placement opportunity. You only get one shot and can't see...

I have a TC Encore with the 460 S&W Mag barrel. I used the Buffalo Bore Barnes tipped bullets and it's like Thor's Hammer on whitetails. It was like a 3" exit and blew blood out like a fire hose. Upon field dressing the deer, the bullet ripped the the top of the heart off. Adrenaline allowed the...

I used to use Hornady 45 caliber SST/shockwaves in my TC Omega .45 ML. I had nothing but problems with them. They wouldn't expand at all on broadside deer at 100yds or less. 40 caliber hole in 40 caliber hole out. Which led to extremely long and strenuous tracking efforts. So I started shooting...

I have a 460 S&W Magnum Katadin stainless barrel for my T/C encore. It's about the size of a red rider bb gun . It's an absolute hammer on whitetail deer loaded with buffalo bore Barnes tipped bullets. It's only a single shot, so not a defensive setup... 😂

What about the 460S&W magnum revolver? It's a round made specifically for hunting. The ballistics are crazy for a handgun. Was the 460 forgot or lost in the shadow of the S&W 500 that was released around the same time?

I am disappointed with Federal. I can't find specific ammo that I have grown to love. I can't tell if they have discontinued them or are just not producing that specific round at this time. Im searching for Trophy Copper in 30-06 and hst micro in .38+p.

I highly recommend Federal Trophy Copper. They are the same as the Nosler E-Tip. Fully expand and complete pass through in a 30-06. 6.5mm is supposed to have great sectional density, which should equate to deep penetration and pass through. Good luck finding them though. Nosler will have them...
