    Trapping Thread 2024/2025

    I'm going to run a small line of coon boxes with 160s, and a few footholds for fox. I'll put the coon boxes out early for the 5 day fisher season here in Western NY. We've been over run with them for about a decade, they have decimated the turkey, rabbit and squirrel populations.

    Hodgdon Bought RCBS - am I the only guy who missed the press announcement?

    I havent had any issues getting supplies from RCBS. Dies, holders, trimmer pilots, priming tool, all available and if you shop around, not too much of a mark up. Maybe the local shooting store doesn't have it, but Amazon, ebay, Brownells, mid south, they all have lots of Inventory. Now if...

    .308 win bullet selection for new reloader

    I have found my Ruger M77 Hawkeye .308 likes Hornady 165 SST's over 42.5 grains of Varget. My dad has the target/varmint version with a longer barrel, and his likes 44.5 grains of varget for the 165s. Get multiple projectiles and powders and play around. Every gun likes things a little...

    Boy did I find powder.

    Supplies seem like they are on an upswing. I was able to get a couple different powders from Brownells when they were running their "No hazmat fee" deal, and this week I picked up 500 CCI 200 large rifle primers for $7.99 per 100 at the local Runnings. Some powders are still scarce as hens...

    Time for some to go elsewhere

    Guy was trying to sell THC cartridges for vapes. Listed his phone number, was a NY area code. NY made Marijuana legal for recreational use a few years ago, with literally no oversight.

    What's on the smoker today?

    Smoked 50 pounds of pork shoulder for a 90th birthday party. 12 hours of low and slow, wrapped at 160, pulled at 198, let rest and pulled. Fantastic.

    Brownells No hazmat fee

    Brownells is currently running a promotion on primers and powder where they are not charging a hazmat fee. Also, some powders are on sale. Just picked up 2 pounds of US869 for $32.99 each. Most of the hard to find powders are out of stock, but if anyone is looking for something, they might...

    My Grinder Sucks - Grinder reviews

    I have a Weston #12, 1 h/p grinder. Love it. Can grind a whitetail in no time, and easy to clean. Paired with the weston 15lb sausage stuffer, I can get a deer from the meat pole to the freezer in less than an hour.

    Idaho Outfitter Indicted on Federal Poaching Charges

    Outfitters should not be given different treatment than anyone else. They knew the rules and violated the rules. Hopefully others get the message and follow the law.

    New From NY

    I stand corrected. Perhaps I don't look hard enough.

    Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Labrador Retriever Colors

    I used to own bluetick coonhounds, but the days of me chasing ringtails at night are over. Moved to labs. Have 2 black labs, both English style. First pic is from our summer vacation last year to Wyoming, 2nd pic is the day we brought Finn home. That pretty much shows his personality still.

    Shotgun slugs

    My Remington 870 Express really likes Brenneke KOs. I tried 4 or 5 others and the best patterns were from the Brennekes. My brothers 870 worked best with Hornady SSTs and dads liked Remington Copper Solids.

    Reloading manual

    Overcharging can be a problem if you aren't careful. That's the main reason I weigh every powder charge and keep my batches small. I find it relaxing to reload, so no sense in rushing something and potentially causing injury down the road. To the OP, get a manual. I load mostly Hornady...

    PPU match line ammunition?

    I have 3 swedish Mauser that I have shot the blue box ppu in. All went bang. Not terrible ammo, mainly I wanted to punch some holes in paper, get the guns close, then reload and sight in with hand loaded ammo. I really like Nosler BT 140 gr with IMR 4064 out of my custom bench rifle built on...
