I lease my ranch 2 hrs NE of Dallas for comparable rates. That close means you will get a lot of use. Go for it and next year talk to the owner about setting bag limits based on management practices. If there are pigs. And I can’t imagine that there aren’t you can do a lot of hunting.

Seriously???? LOL. That would have to be a smokeless muzzle loader. 110 gr BULLET over Winchester 748. Don’t remember the weight of powder. It was 45 years ago and I was in in high school. They had been loaded a couple of years before they malfunctioned. Thinking powder expanded over time...

Ball powder 110 gr in .308. Second loading of the case.

I once had a compressed load that backed out the primer just enough that I didn’t notice it, but would fail to fire on the first or second time.

What he said. I have both and love them both equally, but if I already had a 300 and a 35 and had to choose, I would make a larger leap down to the 25-06.

Cabelas in Allen, TX had a dozen cans last week.

I’ll bet they try to open a chat with you. There are a lot of these to good to be true sites that must be run by the same scammers.

Like the deputy said, "I ain't gonna get shot for lack of shootin back". Always a good idea to have spray or pistol or better yet both attached to your person in addition to a long gun. You don't want to be elbow deep gutting an elk with your long gun leaning on a tree ten feet away or your...

Prayers sent.

You are correct. 80 gr.

I bought my first Savage 110 for a smokeless muzzleloader project. I need to find a mag well/bottom metal to close the bottom and shim for the front action screw. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for this post. Since joining this forum, I have seen a lot of folks that hate Barnes, and it is making me wonder. I have mixed results with TTSX. 210 grain 338 win mag on an oryx was an almost lengthwise pass through. Good expansion and penetration and it dropped in its tracks. 150...

In Montana, my son carries a 4.5" Freedom Arms .454 with 330 gr hard cast handloads. My daughter-in-law carries a S&W M&P with Lehigh Defense Penetrator handloads. I carry a 4.5" Super Blackhawk .44 with 300 gr hard cast handloads. All are carried across the chest. So I would say that you...

As others have said, in one way or another, it is all about how you process it and prepare it. Aging does help, however, not as much as with fatty, marbled meat. Pre salting is huge. Medium rare is more tender than well done. If you like it well done, you must cook low and slow. I make pot...
