I use that in my 629-2 6" with 18.5 gr 2400 but I have switched to 8.5 gr Unique for a nice all around load. The Unique load is a little more accurate in my gun out to 50 yards. I don't have my...

Here is a RCBS 35-200 wfngc cast of acww with a touch of tin shot out of my Marlin 336 at 1980 fps into 5 water jugs at 25 yards. I used this same boolit alloy to drop an 8 ptr this past fall. 40...

I just bought a 552 along with a Remington 870 express 12 ga for $100. Guy got a felony and needed to get rid of his guns. He said the .22 didn't work but the shotgun was like new and wanted $100 for...

when I bowhunt I almost always hunt from a tree stand, however I have shot a couple from the ground while still hunting. When I gun hunt I always sit in a stand on opening day just because there are...
I load for my S&W 629-2 6" and my Henry Big Boy brass. For my 629 after lots of tria l and error I've settled on 8.5 gr Unique with the RCBS 44-250 swc for general shooting and 9.5 gr for hunting....

In Indiana bobcats are common now. I've seen six myself in the last three years. 10 years ago people thought you were crazy if you said you saw one. Last summer my 30 yo son told me he swore that a...

only one this past winter. It sucked this year but after talking to several landowners where we call I found out a lot of them have been trapped. One place we went to and didn't have any luck and...

Well said. I definitely don't do it to save money, that's for sure. I just want to do it. It's just part of the process of hunting. That's why I took up casting too. Start to finish. Feels good.

Yes it is the vertical stuffer. As you found out, using the grinder to stuff really sucks plus I'm afraid it will eventually strip the gears. Looking forward to making some deer brats in a few weeks.

I've been doing my own for several years now too. My son and Mr did a couple this past fall but we don't do the ribs like that anymore. Just not worth it. We do take some chunk meat to the processor...

Started out with a Winchester 422 .177 back in about '69 or '70. Still have it too, looks new yet. In the last 15 years I've bought and sold well over a hundred different ones and my current...

I always thought those would work but never tried one. I usually don't use anything as an attractant but just might have to make something before I go out again.

We usually get out 3 or 4 times each winter and manage to shoot a few. We have always went out at first light and have had good luck, but I know some call at night and are successful too. Been out...

That is a side focus scope, so it adjusts the parrallax. Pretty common for airgun use. Normally it's just a small knob but the side wheel is easier to use with one finger.

Shot out of my RWS 52 .177.
Got to the woods about 8 am and saw squirrels running up and down through the trees. I worked my way toward them and managed to shoot one gray but the other one took...
The Noe 432-265. My boolits weigh 272 with lube and check. They drop at .432-433 and I size to .431 for my Henry.
I never had a Rossi but I did shoot these thru two Super Blackhawk's and they shot...

It's all I shoot in my Henry Big Boy Brass. 19.5 gr H110. Feeds great in that gun.
I tried it in my S&W 629-2 and it was ok but switched it over to the RCBS 44-250 for better results.
It's the...

Moving out to 100 yards is next. I just wanted to try some different loadings and see how they shot at 50 first.

Congratulations on your buck.
I'm still trying to get a deer with my S&W 629-2 using an RCBS 44-250.
Going out tomorrow to try again.

Nice shootin. I need to get me another muzzle loader for squirrel hunting,. Years ago I had a custom .40 Kentucky Long rifle. it was awesome hunting with that rifle.
