    Another question for all us hunters: Favourite method?

    I hunt Whitetails, and I love to still hunt in the thick, close, woods here in the northeast. Love finding the main trails, and going very slow along them looking for the slight trails that Bucks use. We also have a few ag fields that we are able to hunt and I love that too, but I’m not really...

    To anneal or not?

    This is where it gets confusing for me. I’m all about simple, and easy, so now is five Mississippi enough to get that dull red glow, or don’t I really need the dull red glow, or do I need the dull red glow, and five Mississippi not long enough……?😜

    250th Anniversary and a Rifle

    It is a beautiful looking firearm, but at $6500.00 I’m gonna have to pass.

    To anneal or not?

    So basically you’re putting the brass in the socket, and spinning it, while heating it with a torch, and counting to five Mississippi? That simple?

    Ticks

    I’m going to say that if the scent is not natural to the area then the game will most likely not tolerate it, plant or man made. I would love something natural to use but after getting bit last fall I’m on the picaridin, and permethrin band wagon. I was out scouting about a week ago and nothing...

    To anneal or not?

    Technically I haven’t really been reloading all that long, thirteen years? I’ve never annealed any brass. To be honest everything I’ve seen has kinda confused me as to how, how long, when, etc…. Like most things in this regard there are so many ways to do it, and so many arguments about it also...

    Chronograph

    I also have the Athlon Rangecraft. It’s my first and only chronograph, and I like it very much. I’ve never used any other so I can’t comment on what is best, but with Guy’s experience I’ll go with his. It was around the $400ish range if I remember correctly and I paid for it in installments. I...

    7-08 hunting load for 2026

    TAC is a very good powder, in my opinion, especially for speed. I use it in my .308, with a 20” barrel, and get 3170 fps ave. Shooting the 130 grain ttsx’s. (50.4 grains of TAC) I think it’s interesting from looking at Dr. Mike’s quickload data 44.7 grains predicted the velocity to be 2946 fps...

B.C. for this is .442 S.D. Is .248 This is all based on what I was looking for regarding the use of Varget powder which is...
