I stopped dealing with GB about 2 years ago & will never deal with them again. I don't have time for their games like listing a starting bid far below the seller's bottom line. I guess that is legal...

This is pretty basic & you have likely already been there & done this but it bears repeating. When I have ignition failures, it is almost always due to contamination in the breach plug/drum area. It...

Yes, possible combinations seem to increase exponentially. I have 5, 10ga., SXS shotguns for which I load 4 different non toxic shot types in various amounts. I also load lead for them in weights...

I started reloading rifle & shotgun ammo in the 60's & started casting rifle bullets when I got back from Vietnam in the early 70's. I will be 72 this October.

I'm still learning & quite a lot is from you guys. However, I do have some experience. I do know TXGunNut is right. One kill doesn't prove anything. I don't have the experience with alloys many here...

The only thing hard about killing a coyote is getting a shot at the sucker!

Thanks guys, I guess I will go with a rimmed cartridge in the vane of "keep it simple stupid". I like the 9.3x74 but would probably be better of with a .308 or .310 cal.

QUESTION:
Double rifles are traditionally chambered for rimmed cartridges. I am looking at the various options for the EAA MP 94 combination rifle/ shotgun. There are a number of options for the...

Yea, a shotgun with birdshot is far from ideal coyote medicine but when one comes darting past you unexpectedly, you gotta shoot what you have in your hands or don't shoot. I don't care how long it...

MT Gianni, I agree 100%. Any chance of stopping a Yodel dog from killing another fawn is a chance worth taking.
I once had a 788 Remington with which I could shoot 1", 100yd. groups with iron...

Yes, the designer non toxics are expensive but I watch for deals & sales. Some are even making their own bismuth shot. The good news is they are more effective with less shot. Some folks are...

Mine was a hunting rifle that never fired a factory round or anything but a self cast lead bullet. I never tried to shoot sub MOA groups but also never found it lacking in the accuracy department. It...

The .45-70 can be loaded to about 200 fps. of a .458 Win. in the Ruger No. 1. I had one that accounted for a number of Bucks & some really big wild hogs at ranges of up to & a little over 100 yds....

I don't have any experience with CVA specifically but I do have a Pedersoli .58 cal. SXS & a 10 ga. DGW SXS, which is actually an older Pedersoli 11 ga. but 10 ga. plastic wads will fit the bore. I...

White eagle,
I love my 10 ga. guns. I have no less than 4, 10 ga. SXS's. 5 if you count my 10 ga. SXS muzzleloader. One is a "E" grade L.C. Smith, two are Beretta model 410's & one is a Spanish gun...

I think about 5 years ago, I had the left one replaced by the VA but the doctor was from MUSC (Medical University of SC). I am 71 now. I have one replacement & the other one isn't worth a ****. It...

Yea, that works with coyotes. As stated above, I killed one instantly with #6's. That dog don't hunt when you switch the focus to big hogs. They don't trust us. They are so afraid we are going to...

Concerning the natural balance in nature, it ceased to exist long ago. We caused the problem & we must fix it through sound wildlife management. We are nothing short of stupid if we don't utilize...

I've killed deer & big hogs with cast bullets in .30-30, 45-70 & .44 mag. but the only coyote I ever killed was with a load of #6 shot while pheasant hunting in N. Dakota. He came out of a cattail...

If you don't mind dealing with a wildcat, there are a number of possibilities. The basic .45-70 comes in various lengths from .45-70 up to .45-120 & can be necked down. Then there is the .405 Win....

.444 Remington?? There is a .444 Marlin & a .44 Remington magnum which is a handgun cartridge. The max. O.A. loaded length of the .444 Marlin is only 2.57". Are you talking about the .416 Remington?...

Nobody wants to change anything they are accustomed to doing. People don't like DTs simply because they haven't learned to use them. So how many Cape buffalo do you think you might kill? Buying an...

The best solution with your stack barrel is put two triggers on it. Personally, I wouldn't own a double gun that didn't have two triggers. From my view point, a single trigger of any variety has...

Some interesting thoughts here. On double triggers one quote comes to mind, "the single selective trigger is an example of technology defeating common sense". If only sense was common. Another...
