we have one set up on our short range ,50 - 450 yards . these work great for a shooting bench . we dug in a little and buried the bottom of the spool . I made separate seats . two can shoot at the same time . very easy to set up a canopy over . if you do this , cover the holes in the top of...
is your old norma brass still usable ? if it is I'd try loading a couple of these powder charges in that brass and see what you get . it looks like 3.0 grains of water capacity changes the pressure about 5000 to 6000 PSI . this doesn't sound like enough to give you the problems you're seeing ...
our soybeans got to about 10 or 12 inches high , and the deer destroyed those food plots . they ate the soybeans down to about 2 inches high . we are going to replant those fields this coming weekend with some kind of a seed blend , I think it's called fall plot . get that replanted and we are...
I couldn't believe she tried to say the slope of the roof was a safety hazard .:rolleyes: it sure isn't a church steeple .
to me , it just seems that too many things went way too wrong , without some guidance .
just curious , about how many coyotes do you guys take in a year ? I seldom see a coyote , and I've only shot a couple while hunting . I don't go hunting specifically for coyotes .
I do see more of them when I'm hunting western states . it seems they are not as shy as the eastern...
I agree with the keep moving theory . my mother is 83 , lives by herself . takes care of her yard work , cutting grass , grass trimming , picking up the sticks , keeping the blue berries picked , etc . she gets the hose out and washes her car . I go up and take care of her snow . I offer to...

RL17 will be tough to beat in the 7mm-08 . it gives a good case fill , and velocity is at or near the top . the problem will be finding it . I use RL17 with 140 grain bullets in my one 7-08 . I use IMR4064 with 139 grain bullets in another , and will switch to RL17 when I use up the...
Brian , I strip my bolt too . I resize my brass to fit my chamber . I want the bolt to have no resistance . the resistance comes from cocking the firing pin . if the bolt is not stripped you really can't tell if it's the firing pin cocking , or the brass needs sized a little more . there is...
our soy beans are up . we've been getting fields ready . going to try and fertilize and plant more July 4 and 5 . things are shaping up . the weather lately has been about perfect . warm nights , hot days , and rain about every 3 or 4 days .
we have always had problems getting the...
today we're only allowed to use conibear traps in water . back when I trapped before , conibears could be used anywhere . I used them for muskrat back then . today I use mainly foothold traps for everything . I do use some dog proof traps for racoon , they are slick to use . I do use some...
last weekend was a trappers convention . this convention was held in PA , at Lycoming county fair grounds . I made plans to take my grandson along , he lives about half a mile off my route to the convention . I wasn't sure how interested he would be , if any interest at all . I keep trying...
