Best (and Worst) Muzzleloading Bullet Experiences
Thor bullets. Buy the test bullets to see which fits your bore diameter the best. Then go from there. I get superb accuracy out of my LR and my CVA MR out of them. A close second would be the Barnes but they are hard to find sometimes. Sub MOA is easily attainable with the Thors in your...- OleRedbeard

8lb test mono and a medium 2 piece ugly stick with spinning reel. Mepps and Blue Fox Spinners around 1/8 oz.

Whitehots and powerbelt stuck.
Air compressor will work like Mallardsx2 stated many times... the CO2 trick will work too. if you can get some powder down the nipple like others have stated and try igniting it that way it might work too by simply shooting it with the extra powder charge. If all else fails... take it...- OleRedbeard

Healthy bread; What is there?
Depending on what your willing to spend... you can buy wheat berries and a mill and have bread better than anything you can get from the store. We grind our own corn and wheat and to say theres a difference is a understatement. Even if you dont want to spend the money on a mill theres usually a...- OleRedbeard

Sell me on a 45-70
I have a CVA scout in 45-70... its a tack driver and puts stuff down with some solid authority. I will second what others have said on the Marlins. My 35 Rem and my 375 Win both are wonderful shooters and absolutely hammer critters. The JM Marlins are in my opinion far superior in many ways to...- OleRedbeard

Rock Chucker and/or Turret Press
I will also agree with the above... I have both a Rock Chucker and a Hornaday progressive. I use my RC to load all my bolt gun stuff simply because I like the simplicity of it and feel like I can control everything a little better. my progressive I use for target pistol stuff, 223 and 308...- OleRedbeard

New ruger american Gen II
Bought one in 7mmHT a week ago... I wasnt a fan of the original Ruger American simply because I could get a Savage Axis that I knew would look about the same and probably shoot just as good if not better for substantially less. Bought it for the oldest to use as her everything gun since she is...- OleRedbeard

Has anyone hunted elk from a kayak
I don't know about a kayak but I use a couple different canoes to get into and out of some areas that otherwise don't get hunted. Like others have said.. you'll run into issues getting the meat out in the kayak. I have done a smaller deer once in one but wont do it again. A raft or canoe you...- OleRedbeard

I wanted to possibly build a 280AI or maybe another 270 with a 25 inch barrel and a 1-8 inch...- OleRedbeard
