Finally I got around trying some loads I made over a year ago.
After purchasing a Winchester 94 in .375 Win I bought 2 molds.
One from Ranch Dog and the other form Accurate.
Both of them have...

Ricochet,

Sorry for the delay in answering.
The spring time is around the corner and we'll have a little shoot at the end of April.
If all goes well and I can join I'll try some loads with...

Joe, I hear you! Got the itch real bad.
A couple of weeks ago I unloaded my smoothbore into a stump at the last day of deer season. Since then ... nothing... the work interferes with the range time...

Itclark,
I do have a German reloading book with some recommended loads.
The powders used are mainly German or Finish IIRC, but you could certainly compare that to a burn rate chart.
You are...

Hi DIRT_Farmer,

I am back home safe and sound.
That was really a nice weekend - including seeing the does and the buck - first time whitetail experience for me and really exciting so close by.
...

Thanks Joe!

I will keep on playing - that's part of the fun anyway.
Let's see what the next range session brings - I'll try to hold differently.

Get well soon!
We are waiting for reports on...

Alan, Joe,

Thanks for the encouragement!
I'll cook up a batch of lube and lube some felt wads and I'll try the spit method, too.
So far I haven't really shot her from sandbags so that is up for...

The 28 Gauge had a little outing this week, in fact the second one. I posted this already on the Traditional ML forum but I wanted to share it here, too.

The setup was different – since it was...

OK,

good to know you get some hunting time in, Alan.
Boerrancher - sounds like a good plan! Let me know when.

Funny how those smooth guns change you - just last Saturday I was out hunting with...

I am just back from the proof house!
For those who have seen the thread about bringing my Smoothbore home from the U.S. The name DIRT_Farmer used to describe is a good one so she is going to be...

As you know I am still learning - but that is a very good advice.
Once you start to thinking about whether the next shot will fire or not the shot is blown anyway. So that I try to stick to that...

Yup - right!
Thanks for the warning - actually how do you know :mrgreen: ???

Hubertus

Yes, definitely it was worth it - the marital cost wasn't so bad after all.

And the YES DEAR rule is one that everybody learns sooner or later :kidding:
Now I'll have to get everything settled to...

Jeff,

his wife passed away a couple of years ago - he told me that the building keeps him going. He's building every single day or going to the meetings.

It was a wonderful time he showed me...

Yeah, photos I know - shoulda seen that coming.. :smile:

Still have to set it up for the proof house though, I am waiting for some 5/16-24 set screws to come in. You have no idea how difficult...

Just this week I came home from another work trip to the U.S.
You probably know what happened last time…
Had to drive down to Friendship and meet with DIRT_Farmer, shoot some Skeet and Quailwalk,...

Good for you - be proud of yourself.
That is a good start.

It sure felt good when DIRT_Farmer showed me that I came in second on the day list of the Quailwalk at the spring shoot. The only...

Congratulations or as we say Waidmanns Heil!

Very nice story and pictures.
I like your setup with the horn and the pouch.

So you blooded it - good!

You mentioned you would have gotten the...

A very nice Smoothbore you got there! Congratulations.

Isn't it nice to play with those toys?

As you know DIRT_Farmer did a good job in hooking me to the Smoothbores.
I talked with a couple of...

Sweet!

Joe,

Thank you that is a very kind offer and I hope I can take it one day.
Whenever you are over in Germany let me know, we might be able to arrange something here, too.

The fun part is all...

Boerrancher, oh boy you've got some hard times hunting over there.:p
I get the feeling if you can't put up with it any longer I might consider to come over and relief you a bit of this...

Unfortunately not.

Thank you again for the time, knowledge and everything else.
I will gladly take your open invitation - hopefully it will work out again.

Mike

Bob,

well hooked is the right word.
DF did a good job on that one.


I just had to have one. Over the pond the smoothbores are not so common at all so that was basically my only chance to own...

It is indeed a very special place.

I had the pleasure at the last weekend, to met with Pete and DIRT_Farmer and a couple of others. It was such a good time and actually I didn't want to go back to...
