We made quick trip down Saturday morning to fill feeders and while we were there I stalked this little pig. I had the wifes AR-15 chambered in 7.62X39...sure wish I could get my hands on another kit like this one! I am waiting to hear back from Blackthorne Products to see if I can at least get...

In case someone was wondering: I found the problem...there is something wrong with the carrier. I swapped the bolt/carrier with two AR's the problem followed the carrier only. Will be looking into that this week...

The wife and I have dumped 4 deer and with 7mmRUM with 140AB...two ran two DRT and pass though on all four. The longest was 200 and the closest 85 yards. I'm hand loading to 3400 fps...BIG wound channels in all 4. Maybe you need to feed them some more fuel? I like faster...

We headed down to Port Lavaca again to try our hand at shooting a hog. They have been tough to come by here of late and to be honest the wife was not very confident they would show. I on the other hand was hopeful with the cooler weather that they would move earlier. Lucrecia was in her hide by...

Thanks Tom! When I shot it the first few time I noticed the bolt/carrier catch would try to catch on the carrier not the bolt face...so I put in a shorter spring and that I had some heavy contact just inside the tube around the area of buffer retainer pin. I removed some metal from that...

I was thinking the same thing... I would be willing to bet the bullet hit a bone (shoulder blade) and never entered the chest cavity or hit the from leg, then exited though the brisket. The wife hit one like that last year and it was a tracking bear...I finally jumped it...third time in...

I have a 16" Hbar that about every 3rd to 5th shot the carrier will hold open, but not by the bolt catch. It is sticking in the receiver extention (aka buffer tube). I have tried a different tube, but it sticks just as it did before. Just to be sure, I have tried different mag and ammo brands...

I knew a guy who used 125BT in a 300 Wby mag @4000fps...he kept his shots out to 300+ yards, but they would smack the krap out of deer and hogs. I would think they would do fine...in a 270 the 130gr bullet is norm, so I don't see why it wouldn't be great for average hunting range deer (80 to...

She missed her first shot of the year at a real good buck that was just over 400 yards and I talked her into using the Remington 700 in 7mm RUM that I bought last X-Mas. The good part...she has not missed with it...bad part...she has taken it over as her everyday shooter. Nothing real long...

I just loaded up a batch of 140 Accubonds and am real pleased with the results of my first loading. I went with 87gr of H4831 with CCI mag primers and it shot under an inch all day. the book says around 3350pfs...I would like to break 3400fps, but this load is working for the wife...

I forgot to check all the cases before seating bullets last week and weighted all the loaded cases...found I had missed one. Normally I doubt I would have been concerned that I didn't check them, but the wife is hunting with the gun and I know she wouldn't notice what might have happened...

LOL...I did go brain dead...she is shooting about 40lbs.

I guess I've gone brain dead..."LB" ?????

I have 5...4 in 223 and one in 7.62X39 (the wifes hog gun) it has a 20 barrel flat top w/ lit 3X9X40. One has 20" 223 w/ 3X9X40, one is the "Lady Carbon 15" for guess who w/ 6x scope, one 16" 223 flat top with a carry handle and one 16" 223 flat top w/red dot with all green furniture. The wife...

I guess I should add...2nd and 3rd bow kills as well..... The wife and I headed down to Port Lavaca to do some bow hunting and test out her new Stealth Cam. Both went very well! We started out looking for hogs Saturday morning as we have a very health population hogs. It was good thing I...
