    Why must out guns be 'plugged'?

    There is no reason, it's a part of the migratory waterfowl international treaty! :eek:

    Take this Job & Shove It

    I wonder how many times those quality assurance folks have to "shove it" every day. :rolleyes:

    Reloadable Brass?

    It is reloadable, however, the nickle has a tendency to flake off, and can conceivably damage your dies. The dies that resize necks via a collet, would seem to be relatively immune to this problem. :confused:

    What about premium bullets?

    The super premium bullets are designed to hold together at impact velocities that my rifles can't achieve. So I don't use them. They are set up to achieve penetration, and that always comes at the expense of expansion. If only you knew which shot you'd be required to take, you'd know just which...

    Howdy from California!

    As someone who "escaped from LA" after serving a 33 year sentence for being too dumb to stay in Raton when the Boy Scouts took me there, a hearty welcom to this forum. Can someone tell me what is keeping all those folks who moved into places like Fresno alive? Have they started up more farms? :eek:

    Best Way to Clean

    I'm into skinning them myself, we'd do that with pheasant when I was a kid, and didn't shoot much of anything smaller. :D As far a smell, go shoot a javelina, you'll think turkeys and grouse are perfumed. :rolleyes:

    Back up rifle for big game hunts

    Actually neither of my rifles fits the description of backup. They are both .260s, the long one is for open country, and the short one is for timber. Having two rifles that like the same load, mine do, is sure a worry stopper on a cross country hunt. I've done it the other way carrying one for a...

    Favorite Shotgun for Turkeys

    I started out with a Savage 67 left handed pump. Used it to good effect on geese, ducks, etc. out west. When I came east and the turkey were overrunning my new property I bought some loads to pattern. Starting with a Federal 3" 2oz shell, I sat down, put my back up against a tree, and fired on...

    How many years and how did you get started?

    I've been hunting 5 years now. When I retired we moved to E. Tennessee. While clearing the timber from the house site, my tractor broke down. During the repair period, I was taking a break and a flock of about 25 birds trooped right up the access road. :eek: [ April 01, 2001: Message edited...

    what would you do??????

    At this time of the year here in TN the flocks are still forming up. The hens are busy trying to establish a pecking order. Pretending to be a hen moving in on the flock will get the establishment rifled up. Purring, like two hens in an argument will get the whole flock to move in. I nearly got...

    Nosler bullets

    Could I get a couple of boxes of 125 Partitions in .264? I'll pay in advance if I can get the bullets. ------------------

    Sectional Density?

    It is sometimes helpful to think of sectional density as an experssion of length. Bullets with the same sectional density will be the same length, provided they're made of the same materials. This is true without reference to bullet diameter. The 150 grain .308 bullet is not as long as a 140...

    Range for 20ga.??

    My Mossberg 500 throws good turkey killing patterns to 35 yards. I'm shooting Remington's Nitro Max 1 1/4 oz of No. 4 shot. I got them at Wally's. ------------------

    New Reloader

    I started with a Lee Loader. The darned things still cost less than $20, and include everything you need except "large rifle" primers and powder. After you get started you can decide if you want to continue. If you do I'd recommend the jump to the Lee Turret Press, it is faster than any single...

    Comparing cartridges & loads — Howell's short method

    Now all you have to do is devise a constant to describe bullet construction, then we'll have a real comparison of cartridges.
