Finally got to the outdoor range this morning to put some loads through a Tikka T3x Super Varmint in 6.5 PRC. This was also the first serious range session shooting this rifle with my new (and first) TBAC Ultra 7 suppressor. I had an assortment of loads in either Lapua or Hornady brass that...
Like hunter said above, I tend to use ones that I haven't killed anything with yet or a new bullet that I haven't used before. Certain areas will often get me using different guns as well. I have one stand on my lease that is thick swamp and shots are usually less than 100 yards, sometimes much...
I've had a couple Moultries die from rain and no longer use them. I've had very good luck with the Tactacams. One died for no apparent reason after two years and another died when a logger took the tree it was mounted on. All my others have been running great. I really liked a couple of Browning...
Update on the flooding, camera is still going strong. It's fogging up pretty badly during the day but the motion sensor is still working. As you can see, the water is almost completely gone. I emailed Tactacam and they said if I had any issues with it, they'd help me out.
Darryle, I've never...
I believe my main gun will be a Tikka T3x Super Varmint in 6.5 PRC with a TBAC Ultra 7. Haven't decided on a load yet. It'll either be a 129gr ABLR, 130gr AB or 142gr ABLR. Then I have an Encore 7 RM rifle with Interbonds that I'm playing with. Of course I have to get one with a handgun, Freedom...
Another update; water is going down pretty quickly. This is 12 hours since the last photo. These are all "check-in" photos. Not sure if the motion sensor is working or not, but still can't believe the camera survived! The camera in question is a two year old Tactacam Reveal X Pro.
No kidding! I'm very impressed with that Tactacam!
RL338, the only Reconyx I ever bought died to water. The SD card survived and I got pics over two days of rain & the water rising. It got up to about half way on the camera & then died.
Wanted to post some neat pics from a trail cam. I hunt roughly an hour inland from Charleston, SC and tropical storm Debby came through. She dumped a whole lot of rain on most of the state. The two pics are from the same camera, in the exact same position on the tree, taken before and after...
Yep I know they're not made for full power 454 loads. I already have the 240gr XTP Mag's loaded over a case full of H110. Haven't hunted with or chronoed them yet. I still might run some of the 250 grainers faster into jugs just to see how they do.
This is a recovered 250gr Hornady XTP from a good sized doe shot from a Freedom Arms .454 Casull. I was hunting out of a ground blind and honestly didn't make a great shot. I realized I jerked the trigger as soon as the shot broke. Doe was quartering to me and instead of hitting the front end of...
I got my first a couple years ago, a T3x Super Varmint in 6.5 PRC and it's been awesome. Definitely will be getting another Tikka in the not so distant future.
Doesn't seem like the 44's get enough love around here, so here's another. This was a 210gr Gold Dot loaded over H110 and chronoed right at 1600 fps from the 7.5 in barrel of a Super Blackhawk Hunter 44 Mag. I shot a small 7 point at roughly 40 yards. He was slightly quartering away at the shot...
