    What recoil pad?

    Have both. Replaced the Limb Saver that deteriorated with another Limb Saver on my Rem 700 CDL 35 Whelen and am well pleased with it. Had a Pachmyer put on my 30-06 and it works well also. Both good.

    Muzzleloading 12 gauge

    There is a ton of info on the Traditional Muzzle Loading Forum. As for shooting round balls thru a smooth bore most do use a patch you just try different thickness to see which combination gives best accuracy. If you plan on shooing round balls in this gun I would recommend not thru that full...

    Muzzleloading 12 gauge

    Had a Navy Arms T&T double barrel muzzleloader shotgun back in the 80s. I used 90grs of Pyrodex , 1 1/4 oz of shot. Powder first, over powder card, cushion wad, shot then thin overshot card. Patterned descent killed one nice gobbler at about 32 yds. Stock didn't fit me really well so traded it...

    What would you do?

    Well, on a similar note, I pulled a real boner this morning. Loaded up some for a ladder test in that CVA Cascade Heavy Varmint. Had them properly marked on my data sheet. Got the bright idea that I would load all of them up in the ten round magazine to check function while recording the...

    Velocity and accuracy

    I try to get both accuracy and speed but if the accuracy is less than top end load well, that works for me. Achieving both is something you just keep working towards with different calibers and their rifles.

    New way to buy a gun

    Thursday my wife had a dental appointment. On the way home I stopped by couple of gun shops that I hadn't been in for awhile. Had been looking for a new range toy so to speak without breaking the bank and in a caliber that I was already setup to load for. Found something of interest in the...

    Factory seconds primers?

    Saw this yesterday. Hadn't heard of them before. Guess I missed the reason, but what makes them seconds? I think I would take the wait and see attitude on these before making a purchase.

    What's your side hustle?

    I've been retired for eight years. I'm like Bachman Turner Overdrive sang in Taking Care of Business," I love to work at nothing all day". Not a couch potato, stay active just not working for money. Appreciate being able to go to the range, shoot, help work on projects, family and that sort of...

    Back in the 1990's

    Nice looking White Mtn. Friend of mine has one that he has used for years. TC made some very reliable side lock muzzle loaders back in the day.

    Seeking Center X

    Bummer the matches were canceled but sounds like a real nice 22lr conversion. Post some pictures of it sometime. Sounds interesting.

    Douglas barrels

    I had Douglas to rebarrel a Remington 700 that was a 270 Win and kept the same caliber. Been about three years ago and it has done well for me. I'd use them again. Was good to deal with.
