Re: Anyone shoot the 22 TCM round?

It is a hoot to shoot! loud as heck, not recoil to speak of, more accurate than I am anymore, turns fruit into juice (shooting over ripe apples from about 15 yards they just disappear), will slice right through old shovel heads and car doors.

Hoping to shoot

this one tomorrow. 1884 Springfield made in 1889 according to the serial. Bore looks great, mechanicals all work as they should. If it shoots good enough I am hoping to smack down a deer with it once season starts.

Re: Need help with pack rat

I have had really good luck using Starburst Fruit chews for bait in rat traps. You get them a little warm and mold them to the trigger, make sure it takes a little effort to spring the trap so it does go off just by them bumping it. They will work hard a getting the candy chewed off of the trigger.
