There is a lot of variables that dictate my shot placements. Bullet construction and velocity are the two main ones for me. With a revolver I like to use hollow points at magnum velocities and stay...

I keep the coyotes in check pretty well around here too! I took 5 or 6 just off of the 185 acre home farm last year. I’ve taken 2 so far this year but I know there is more out there.

The expansion with the penta point is immediate and violent! If I don’t hit them in the head, there often isn’t much left!

Thanks guys! To answer a few questions, here they really aren’t considered a game animal, more of a nuisance animal than anything. Not too different from how prairie dogs are viewed, I guess. People...

I’ve been after the local woodchuck population pretty hard this year! 21 so far with 17 of them taken with revolvers and cast boolits! Most of them were taken with my BFR in 454 Casull (can’t never...

Believe it or not, the Speer 90 grain TNT’s work great on hogs! At Grendel velocities they aren’t as explosive as one might think and seem to do a great deal of damage and more often than not pass...

I’ve been hunting whitetail with subsonic 300 blackout for years. Heck I’m using a Lee c309-200 bullet cast of coww at 1070 fps that by all conventional wisdom should be a very poor choice with its...

Do you know this for certain or is this a rumor? Because it looks pretty plain in the rule book that the cartridge case length only comes into play in a rifle. Just like with police officers, DNR...

The case length requirement only pertains to rifles, 38-44 loads should work just fine out of a pistol in any part of Michigan.

Nice job! It’s hard to beat ol Elmer’s bullets in any caliber, they just work!
I’ve been loading the Lee c358-200 rf in 38sp cases with IMR 4227 with great success. 12 grains gets me to 915 fps out of a 4 3/4” barreled Pietta SAA clone and is very accurate and actually shoots...

Awesome story! It always amazes me how sometimes deer take off at the sound of a shot way off in the distance but other times don’t care even when they’re the ones being shot at!
Congrats on the...

Not a bad idea! I think she heard the click as the cylinder bolt engaged but she couldn’t pinpoint the source of the sound. I wish theseNew Model Rugers had a traditional half cock position, then I...

Yes! Here in Michigan we get 2 buck tags and 10 private land doe tags. I don’t think I’ll try to fill all of them but we’ll see. There are enough does around that if I did fill all the tags it...

I had 7 does come through this morning, the first 3 were on a dead run through the woods and offered no shot opportunities. Not 20 minutes later a group of 4 does came slinking in behind me...

Nice job! I bet this won’t be the last with a handgun!
Forum: Hunting with CB's
Nice job! Yup, it can take a lot less power than most people think to knock a deer over as long as it’s placed properly!

For awhile there all I could find was Blue Dot! I’m down to my last pound now, hopefully it’ll become available again soon!

Managed to notch another tag this afternoon with my Blackhawk in 357 magnum! I sent one of Elmers finest (358429 from an Arsenal mold) his way from about 45 yards, after a quick 80 yard jaunt he...

For me archery compares more to hunting with a pistol. 30-40 yards and in. With a lever gun I’m easily good to 100 yards open sighted and 150+ yards with an optic and some decent ammo in an...

Range scrap. These ones I just tumble lubed with 50/50 Alox/Johnson’s paste wax and gas checked. I’ve also had good luck powder coating without the check.

These guys are my favorite to go after! I wish I could say I’m using boolits but I’m using 90 grain Speer TNTS in my 6.5 Grendel at 2700 fps. I’ve gotten 8 around our...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I haven’t recovered the boolit but I’m hoping to when I process the deer. Since the stomach was ruptured I didn’t do a whole lot of digging around to investigate the bullets path after it passed...

Sorry I forgot to add that. 8.2 grains of Lil Gun sparked by Federal AR-Match primers for a velocity of about 1070 fps.
