    Need help for Barnes 168 gr 30’06 for elk

    I think only loading once a year to develop a load will be difficult. You can load up a few at different charges and shoot. Then pick the best and go with that. Rushing to do it all in a day is going to be a lot. Could lead to frustration and not enjoying the experience. Also makes it more...

    Seat covers

    I have Carhartt in my truck. They've held up well over for 6 years. I think my wife has Weather tech in her Escape and they seem to be doing well.

    Self defense pistol recommendations.

    I personally like the simplicity of a double action revolver. I like 357 for versatility. Generally use 38 special +p for if in town or heavy bear loads when out hunting. I think a revolver is easier to learn the function of. Nothing wrong with a semi auto. Based on what you want it for...

    What are you currently reloading?

    I always forget to take a picture I loaded up some 6.8 Western with 165g Nosler ABLR. Get 3/4"-1" groups as longs as it doesn't suffer user error.

    Buzz's honey hole?

    I didn't look that hard and was 95% joking. I'm sure someone could have figured it out but I don't care that much.

    Anyone else an unwilling spectator this hunting season thanks to illness/injury?

    Sorry to hear glennw89 and others it sucks to be out of commission. I had a surgery get scheduled end of August. I had to swap my archery elk otc for the rifle. Couldn't get out earlier but will be going this weekend for the last weekend. I'm lucky I get to do that. Get to chase Whitetails...

    Muzzleloader Safety

    I use both a traditional and an inline. The old way was to fire the muzzleloader end of day to discharge. Then clean that night and load next day. You can also unload with a bullet puller. Remove the percussion cap or primer first. Then screw the bullet puller into the bullet and pull out...

    Muzzleloader Safety

    Absolutely that is acceptable. Without the primer/Cap it can't go off. Always cap/prime after loading though. I personally carry it with the cap on. It keeps moisture out of the nipple. With half @#)(# and practicing proper muzzle control it is safe. If you don't like that then you could...

    Freezer Thawed- Advice needed

    Was that a package on top or on bottom? Generally you don't want it to be over 40 degrees. If it was a couple hours that would be one thing. However how long was it over 40 degrees to get up to 58? You also don't know what temp different packages are. Without knowing how long it was at that...

    .54 is hanging like an ape

    Glad to hear you have it running. I always keep a spare nipple in my possibles kit just in case. If you might be hunting in cold weather with it I would still suggest using Magnum #11 caps over the standard. I used Magnum 11 caps, triple 7 and maxiball or round ball with my TC New Englander...
