Pretty solid. Been reading about guys using 410’s and TSS #9 to take turkeys… I’ve taken 1 Tom at 25 yards with a 20 gauge beneli super sport(I’m not a nice man). Flattened that Tom. No floppy, just bang flopped.. so with the TSS product.. I can see it being pretty potent medicine.

So I have a well used bullet puller, maybe excessively worn puller (flood ammo that went click- silence, I’d pull the bullet and salvage the cases… Well. The cartridge holders would not hold the bullets…so very frustrating and slow. Today, I used my shell holder from My press, voila! That...

Thanks Jim! Was wondering about that!. I know Dr Mike has had tremendous success with etips in his WSM’s and I was considering avoiding lead in my game loads.. just to avoid some risk of lead ingestion.

I’ll toss the X bullets. I can see evidence of copper fouling… more than my other riffles… Set up a ladder test with H4831 and Sierra Game King. Just because I have so many that came with the gun. Liking the Redding I plan to hunt with the TTSX and NAB. I’m completely confident in the...

They got 10 years each. I forgot they fled when the initial charges were filed. They were found in downtown Detroit hiding in an art studio a friend owned. Had passports and cash.. Their son got life. Michigan school shooter's parents sentenced to at least 10 years in prison...

Oops. title should read Crumley sentencing day vs Crummy…

Today the Crumley’s will be sentenced in the Oxford shooter case. If news hasn’t reached you, Ethan Crumly shot and killed 4 classmates. Others were wounded.thenshooter was found guilty, and for the first time the Parents were brought up on manslaughter and negligence charges in connection...

I’ve loaded tightgroupnin 45acp and my experience with it in 38 special made me start looking for new hand gun powders. Found the flake powder didn’t meter well for me.(using a Lee auto disk in their progressive kit,) now using accurate #5. I too have a 6” 629 full lug, shoots like a dream… the...

I’ve had a 40 acre parcel in the Manistee national forest for three years. Deer, coyote, bear fox and finally yesterday a Tom showed up on camera. The hen hasn’t been caught on camera yet…

300 WSM, well, the whole WSM family is a really great family. Win 760 and H414 were classic WSM powders. I did get a hunny of a load using W780 under a Sierra ProHunter 220gn RN. Chrono said almost 2700 fps and it caused carnage on the bear my son shot with it. We recovered the jacket in the...

Above is a Barnes TTsX in 130gn and a Barnes X bullet also in 130 gn for 0.277 caliber. So I’ve been going through the 270 Win Hand me downs that came with my latest new to me 1961 model 70 featherweight. . The X bullet is new to me. I have 18 loaded X bullets and 5 more not in a case. I have...

Scotie, just picked up a P64 22” feather weight.. previous owner was seriously into cup and core. Loaded Speer, Hornady, and Sierra, and also Barnes HP, (mono), all at 59 grains of H4831. Haven’t shot it yet. I received two sets of dies, 2 # of H4831, about 600 Sierra gamekings(130-150) 200...

Dang… I like those.

What a dream hunt! Congratulations!

Been listing for a 7mmPRC, but want it in a model 70… yesterday I picked up a pre64 in 270 win. Came with a vx3i, two boxes of supporting materials. two sets of dies(one looked unused) and a lot of bullets(Hornady, Sierra, Speer and bowlers) and powder.. and he threw in 7-08 and 7 rem mag...
