I was wondering! It's very odd. I've been watching this thread and this is the first year I haven't seen many replies. I wonder why?

All my rifles, if possible, get suppressed. Supersonic and sub sonic. Period. If shooting a lot I wear ear protectionin additionto the suppressor. My ears ring all day every day from loud music as a...

Holy mackerel, I was going to order some lead again but I just read this. I hope you heal up well! Get the rest you deserve and we'll definitely pray for you!

Thank you for sharing your experience. The head of a squirrel is small enough that a 30 caliber boolit will swiftly end the animal almost regardless of shot placement on said head. A rabbit may be...
It befuddles my mind why this post is not a sticky yet! Haha, I created it in 2016 and it's still going strong in 2021! :D

I'd like to update y'all.
1) The man who's property I hunt from post 1 passed away from Covid yesterday. This has struck me as I was just texting with him the other day. Last we knew his...

I believe we're at peace that we don't need to be moving "tomorrow," but in a little while we do need to go. That little while will only be ~6-10 months based on our small manufactured home and 4...

Hey there, I have a couple prayer requests I would appreciate a few of my siblings in the Lord to pray over.
1) I recently learned that a man who's property I hunt on has come down with Covid-19...

Thanks for bringing this thread back up, Eric. I think it might be time to revisit my 223 project. I've been caught up with so many other irons in the fire. My guess is you'd be able to work up to...

Thank you all for your comments! I would say the 270 absolutely has less recoil than the 30/06, but that might also be because I'm shooting a 130gr bullet at 2900 with 46gr of powder vs a 168gr...

I got the brass, bullets, and reloading dies in guys! I really appreciate it all! I bought a pound of IMR 4320 from the local gunshop for $20 and had some Winchester large rifle primers. I then...

Thank you so much! I have a shell holder so that won't be an issue. You're awesome. :D
Forum: Helping Hands
I know the local gunshop has ample supply of one powder and no other. IMR 4320. Would this work well? Otherwise I could probably go to another gunshop an hour away and fine another powder.

I'll second this. Make sure the stock is firmly planted in your shoulder and your cheek is not floating. The use of a sling could help pull the stock into your shoulder and keep the rifle managed...
