OK a little clarification. Yes, legitimate SD is legal everywhere, even "here", problem is You can't get a carry permit which would enable an effective SD possible, you can get a pistol permit that allows possession in the home, for hunting, where legal, and "To and from the range&quo...

So... for all of you prepared for the apocalypse, what do you recommend for us poor shmucks that live in one of the occupied liberal States that will gladly send you to jail for defending yourself, with anything... and don't say move, that's a smartazz copout.

Horsesoldier, I already have it, just didn't know what to do with it. :D So this 32 is now my new project, I'll probably load Wad cutters, though I can get SWC also. I have primers, and some Unique, I'll try to find some Bullseye for the ball rounds. Now... The question is....should I use up the mos...

Wrote about a week ago inquiring about a SA 22, got some good advice, Thanks, But.....I just went through my Dads guns that I inherited and found this small S&W 32 that I forgot about and had wrote off as under powered and essentially useless. So I did some research and it's a post war 32 S&...

Lately I've been considering a SA 22. I checked out Rugers Single Six and the Bearcat, I kinda like the idea of the Bearcat as it's considerably lighter and a bit smaller, while searching, I also see Heritage and Chiappa make them. Anyone have any pro's or con's on any of them? Any I missed? Accurac...

While the goal is a quick kill, (I won't use the term "humane") , and most hunters do their best, things can, and do, go awry . Stuff happens and you deal with it as you can. That is the nature of hunting, anyone that tells you they make every shot, and never lose an animal, is either a Sa...

Some of you seem to think EVERYBODY from your list of exclusion States is a anti gun liberal, or (add your own adjective) :roll: Nice support guys, Not everyone can leave, and we still have just one vote, Here in most of the N.East we have been out numbered out voted, and under increased scrutiny.

Anyone have a preference on bought cast bullets for a 38 special? 158 gr.? Ammo situation being what it is I'm looking for options. Have a bucket full of brass, have primers, powder, press, just need the bullets. Probably a SWC or flat point, ... all opinions appreciated. Thanks.

The Savage Bmag is very light, and the accu trigger is great out of the box, and, is adjustable. I havn't been able to run many rounds through it though, it's a lot louder then any 22., I have both the 20 and 25 gr. ammo, it looks so far that you need to sight in for one or the other, as the groups ...

Easy, sort of sauerbraten recipe. My Bavarian Grandma used to make a heart stew with a light sour gravy. She didn't like a heavy saurbraten and I prefer her version too. The stew was for beef heart, but any lean or game meat works good, last week a couple Canada Geese got the treatment. You can do t...

After someone mentioned Jack O'Conner, I remember some advice he gave on scopes a long time ago. Basically, If you absolutely "needed" a scope, a fixed 2.5 in the East and fixed 4x for the west was all the scope anybody needed, unless you were planning some real long distance type hunts an...

unless your coon is a much better grade, $10 is optimistic, plus they
are worth exactly zero in the summer.

All the years I sold coon, I could only avg.a little over $6 per coon. Thats the average, mix those $1 coons with your $20 coon and see what they're really worth.

When I went on my Antelope hunt I made a bipod set out of two arrows. wrapped the shafts where they crossed with bungee cord, depending on where you slide the bungee cross tie you can regulate the sticks for both prone, and sitting, by flipping it over, for a stool you might have enough length if yo...

Yes it's Nichrome wire, I guess it's available, my Grandpa had an appliance repair shop when those things were new, there's probably a roll of it in the shop ....somewhere.

Like most things...it depends, :) This is my experience with the 30-30 over 40 years and lots of whitetails, with similar shot placement, ie., heart/lung, ranges under 100 yds. ALL pass through's Rem 170 Corelokts, very accurate, deer generally ran 60-80 yards, some a bit more Win 150 Power points, ...

Any of you Henry owners have trouble sighting in with the factory iron sights? My son bought a Henry blued 22 that shoots 2" high at 25 yds with the rear sight bottomed out. The front blade sight is integrally molded into the front barrel band and can't be replaced. I can "fix" it, bu...

I split a lot of wood with a Sotz monster maul, but unless your built like Paul Bunyan, a hyd. splitter will win out in production cause it don't get tired.

The vinegar should work over time, but you can really de-rust something fast with acid, muriatic or sulphuric acid can be bought in any box store.
Just watch it closely and neutralize with baking soda when your done. Shouldn't hurt the steel parts but any plating may not fare so well.

You have a point, I haven't butchered a hog in a long time so I buy a butt as I need them, but was just thinking...if you buy a box of butts, there should be extra fat on them as they haven't been trimmed yet?

gcs

As long as you can use buckshot, I'd just load it up with triple 0,... I know, that wasn't the question, but with the 10 you would have a potent load as long as it will pattern.
A single ball works in a BP gun cause you have rifling, in a shotgun I'd suspect accuracy would be lacking.

Sausage guy I spoke with said to use hog jowls instead of butts, more fat and cheaper, said to use a 70/30 game to pork ratio or to taste. Pork butts are already about the right ratio for straight pork sausage, so 50/50 game to pork butt may still be too dry. As for spice mix, I make my own simple m...

They grow, or at least used to, in Connecticut, I believe mostly cigar wrapper type. If you can grow it there, you can probably get it to grow in any zone 6 area, maybe 5 with some protection.

Nice,... but I digress, what is it with women and the 50 pillows they insist they put on the bed,

Any of you geniuses got an answer for that?

I smoke all my deer front legs, sliced cold with a icy Yeunglings and you got good eats.
I just let them sit overnight with a dry rub and smoke about 250 till medium.

I used an offset wood "Texas" style smoker for years, now I use a propane Masterforge? from Lowes.

Bob, I'm still using ammo from the first available lot when they first came out, I did a not quite scientific test with them against 170 corelokts and 150 power points. The medium was a bale of stained craft paper bags, (compressed and very tough) Range was 50 yds, Rem 170 CL, 9" penetration, e...

I was going by what a hog guide at a Sportsmans show told me, I didn't do the math. :mrgreen: I'm sure though that 60% removal won't keep them stable, it takes 60% removal of over populated Whitetails for several years to cut them back, 50% just keeps them at status quo and they only have 1 or 2 a y...

I think that's 3 litters in 2 years, which is still plenty fast, but probably a little slower in the North.
N. Europe and Russia has had wild boar since always, so they will adapt. Just got to eat a lot of them.

gcs

My guns love them, (30-30), they are accurate, and devastating on deer, short range or longer don't matter, mostly bang flops. Unless neck shot, I've never seen such fast kills on deer from ANY other bullet types, and I've taken a barge load of deer over 42 years so yeah, I can tell the difference. :D

gcs

How were the sights?
My son bought a blued Henry 22 and with the rear sight all the way down, it shoots 2 1/2" high at about 50 yds.
You can't put a taller front on either as the front sight and bbl. band is one piece, with no dovetail.
He's been meaning to call customer service about it.

gcs

They work great in my, and my son's 336, 30-30's. Try them on game, it'll make you think your 30-30 is on steroids.

Hastings has/had a sub sonic 12 gauge slug, it was recommended for use with the Metro bbl. extension for "quiet" work. At that time they claimed to keep shots 50 yds or less. They were accurate in my 11-87 at that range. Unfortunately I never got to use it for deer, but there was adequate ...

While this isn't about glancing bullets off a noggin, I do know of several instances of 38 special wadcutters unable to penetrate a coons skull at live trap range.

One died from the concussion, and one woke up in a little while...upset.

I read 86's report and frankly it didn't mesh with my experiences, I can only assume he had gotten a bad lot? Of course weird things DO happen occasionally if You shoot enough game.

gcs

I'd expect you'd get about the same performance as the 30-30 variety, as long as your gun likes them. My, and my sons 30-30 both shoot them accurately, makes a 30-30 perform like it's on steroids.

gcs

Yeah, I thought Harrison Ford had more dignity then that.

I think if you wait for a Griz to "rear up" at 10' or so... your going to have a short day.

gcs

Stick with the 150 or 170 Corelokt SP"s
It sounds counter intuitive but that HP is designed for deeper penetration and won't perform like the SP's, why they thought it was a good idea is beyond me, the 170 CL penetrates just fine as it is.

If you want a faster response on deer, try the 150's.

gcs

Cutco...Yes they are sharp, but the prices,

and I can't say much for their selling tactics, can you say...pyramid scam?

There are a LOT of good knives that are priced fairly, I'd get one of those.
