I can't speak for it's effect on deer, but the 35 Rem. in a CVA single shot has been quite effective on several pigs for me. Sizes from 50 to 250 lbs. I use the Lee 200 gr. RCBS clone, gas checked...

I have a fat, lazy Jack Russell/Feist mix that I spent 6 months trying to train to blood trail. She was not interested. Then I took her with me when I was helping my son track a deer that he had...
Palmetto has a single stage drop in for under a hundred bucks. I bought one to try, and so far I love it. Online reviews are up and down, but so far mine is great.

You can use 35 whelen brass. It forms a false shoulder when you size it. 30-06 will also work, but it needs to be loaded long enough for the bullet to touch the rifling. That holds the round in...

The 44 mag is kosher for either type of receiver, so that isn't a concern.

Jandles, per Google fu, are flip flops worn with socks.

The barrel can be stamped SB 2 and have originally come on a SB 1 receiver. The SB 1 is for low pressure rounds, like 45-70, 30-30, hornet, shotgun, etc. You can't depend on the barrel stamp. And...

I have four months left until I hit 2x36. I'm getting old, and I swear that I don't know how it happened.

I'm 72, and pigs get heavier every one I shoot. I've figured out a way to hoist them up in the back of the mule without lifting much or dragging far. I use a 350 Legend AR or something in 375 to...

You could go the used route. Ed's TC is a good place to start.

The guy that converted 308 brass to 35 sadly passed away a few years ago. His handle on here was Grumpa if I remember correctly.

I once shot a doe in the back of the head that was standing under a box stand. The stand was about 15 feet tall. I shot her through a gap in the floor boards. I was using a 45-70 loaded with some...

Turkey also makes most of the affordable, translate as cheap and usually pretty rough, shotguns on the market. Not things of beauty, but functional tools. I have several of them.

Don't rule out the 350 Legend. I built an AR in that caliber, just for grins and giggles. I have been surprised. I killed a couple of pigs, one over 200 lbs, and 2 does. Very effective round. ...

If you can find or fabricate enough space, a 250 cca or so lawn mower battery is the way to go. Instead of a $100 plus battery with a 90 day warranty, you get a $30 battery with a 12 month warranty. ...

I have had probably 50 handi rifles of various and sundry calibers over the years. I never had one that liked a clean bore, at least not on the first couple of shots. If you are starting with a...

I use the same caliber in an AR 15 hunting pigs in Georgia. I found the same thing happening with the steel case ammo not lighting off with weaker springs. The grendel and 5.56 don't have enough...

Sorry, but no chance. Payment is on the way. I've been interested in the 358 Gremlin for years. The package deal was too good to pass up.

I will start this at $30. I know it's low, but we gotta start somewhere.

I hunt them in Georgia. I will be back next week. Killed 2 last week, if I get another one I can help you out. I've killed 59 in the last 2 years.
