    Are we bad people?

    After reading Moosie's running gun battle with 280 on that other board, I am starting to feel bad about booking a hunt at a game ranch. Those people really gave me a complex. I hope I will feel better about myself if I give it some time. one one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand...

    Opinions on digital powder dispensers

    I use a Pact (RCBS) digital powder dispenser and scale for almost all my rifle reloading, because I load mostly extruded powder and my Lyman powder dispenser is a real pain in the butt. What are the opinions out there on them. I have heard all the things about letting them acclimate for 20...

    Danr - I shot the 25 grainers this weekend

    I loaded 20 of the 25 grain bullets I ordered this weekend. The load was 11 grains of 2400, one of the loads out of the reloading manual I got, and at 50 yds. I was doing good to hold a 1" group. I didn't chrono any of them since the accuracy was not what I was hoping for. There were 2 or...

    Danr55, I got the 25 gr. .224 bullets

    I received the 25 gr. .224 bullets in the mail on 07/06 but I haven't got to shoot them yet, but on initial inspection, I am not impressed. I do not want to slam a bullet manufacturer without cause, but there appears to be quite a few dimples or dents in the jacket material. While I am not...

    Any Encore or Contender 45-70 shooters out there?

    Last weekend I had a moment of weakness, or stupidity I'm not sure which, and bought a 15" Encore in 45-70 Gov. I have 4 Contenders from .22 Hornet to .35 Rem. and decided it was time to step up to the Encore since the selection of high power barrels is quite a bit larger (up to .458 Win Magnum...

    Sand Bass

    Anyone fish for them? I live for the spring run and wading the windy points for them in the fall. I got my brother inlaw and nephew into fishing for them in the spring and now I never get any time to fish for them by myself.

    Simmons 44 Mag

    Any opinions on these. I have a 6.5-20x44 with target turrets 1/8" clicks coming real soon, I know they are not the best in the world but I figured for $135.00 I would give it a try. I would not dare ask about Simmons at H.I.S. but here I figure I am more likely to get an answer instead of an...

    Hogs with a .22

    In Ok. a WMA has opened hog hunting due to the amount of damage these animals do to the feed plots the WMA employees plant for the deer and elk. The problem is that you are limited to rimfire and shotgun with small shot (no buckshot). How does everyone feel about a .22 rimfire for hogs, I...

    Calif. Hunter - Good article in the mag. you sent me but -

    It also had an article on the .17's in it. I have been thinking about one of these for some time now and this may have done it for me. My wife has been giving me that "Why do you need another barrel" look since I read the article last night. The Lil Gun worked great, Hodgdon shows a load of...

    danr55 and Calif. Hunter - Hornet + Lil Gun=Outstanding

    I tried some loads I put together with 40 gr. Nosler BT's and 13.0 grs. of Lil Gun this morning. Conditions were less than ideal, I poured burning grease on my shooting hand yesterday but from what I saw Lil Gun appears to be made to order for this round. As soon as my burns clear up some I...

    Question About Lil Gun

    I stopped by last night to pick up some H110 and Lil Gun at the local gun shop to try in my Hornet carbine, the only thing I found labeled Lil Gun said "Shotgun Powder". This may be a stupid question but, is there another Lil Gun or was this the correct powder?

    Hornet

    Santa got me a 21" .22 Hornet carbine barrel for my Contender. I am going to shoot it some and see how the brass holds to reloading. If it seems to be as hard on brass as I have heard of I will send it in to be turned into a K-Hornet. Does anyone have any experience with the Hornet, what are...
