in a nutshell, Penta might/ should fragment ( with harder lead alloy). Occasionally with less brittle alloy it mushrooms "easier" in sections (like a Barnes or a flower rather than a...

I agree. I used to live in Ca too and had several bad attacks. I'd wait til after dusk and spray them.

I'm in VA so no Americanized here yet, just pockets of hot older feral stock that doesn't have much Italian in um. I'm still newish and building. Hoping to have 30 survive winter and 115 going...

ok, I guess my ethics are different than most of ya'll.

sorry but when I see a guy buy a mag Tuesday for $9 and then sell it Tuesday night for 45, I was taught that's not Christian, its why...

LMAO- I get stung often, but I don't worry about every piece of protection part, um, actually most of the time. And perhaps more, I have some hot hives from local black feral bees I've caught.

In Virginia, the Wounded Warriors is government sponsored and is a quasi-government agency. They are paid out of the commonwealth's budget to provide services to ALL VA claims. I was...

Thank you! Luckily with the tracers, the load specified is only 56,000 PSI, so about 15% under max. I should not have used tracers for my example- since they are different, but my plan for...

I'm a new reloader (for cartridges cases at least- shotgun for over 20 years). But in the past year or so I've worked up maybe 30 or so loads using ladders. I've tried 3 shot steps but just ...

when I took my class in NC we where required to shoot the pistol we planned on carrying as a legal requirement. I took it so long ago...

luckily for VA my hunter safety is all that's required,...

well... I was talking of burning 10 bullets here and 20 bullets there.

As to ladders, I'd say 100-200 rounds is the bare minimum if I'm lucky to find the right powder/seating depth...

LMAO. I do use a spear gator hunting but for deer? Maybe if they are tame?

I love my crossbow! I have some spinal cord/brain birth defects that have gotten worse with age and actually have pretty much stopped hunting until I got a crossbow. Now I've taken deer and...

thanks all for the great answers! I've got some thinking to do...

oh, thanks especially for the tip keeping it lighter! I really like my shoulder...

interesting, I've never tried this but it makes sense to me. Interestingly enough in my searches I found several posts saying the exact opposites! I suppose it comes down to many many...

Anyone in SWVA want to start or work out a lease or pollination contract or something so I can keep some hives on your land?

thanks!

I don't mind learning more advanced techniques. I've loaded shotguns 20 years so maybe its time to learn. I guess that was my point behind my question, is there 1 or 2 consistent "good slugs" or...

lmao, thanks!

well, if it where me, I'd get the .311 and if it didn't work, buy another mold or even try "bumping" up for the 7.62's since I'm guessing those are just "tin can" loads?

I've never bumped up...

I'm sorry you where offended but everyone has been just trying to help.

first, what are your goals? 1" at 100 yards is likely possible with sizing down .002 or so, sizing getting near .01 IS...

Rick explained my own thoughts ten times better than I ever could.

slugging is cheap and easy as long as your careful. There are some great instructions here and on the web and luckily you have...

Hi!

For my birthday I got this real nice rifled barrel for my 870 and I'd like to start loading some slugs but reading several years worth of posts I'm ending up very confused.

which...

Well, my guess is your making the right guess :-)

It most likely will be great for your .308/.309, and if it shoots good in your .312, wonderful! If not, then you can do some...

Have you slugged the bore to get these numbers or ?




IIRC from other conversations the tolerances are +/- .005 and that a few ten-thousands high is much better than a few ten-thousandth...

Thank you, just habit...

BTW- are you getting any more .30 cal GC in soon? Thx!

I've decided to go with a .509 (or .510) bore in my current project so please take me off this list.

Sorry for the troubles!
