Can't wait to see what I won!

Maybe I'll just bob the muzzleloader barrel down to 22" to lose some carry weight and lose the scope. I have yet to have a shot on deer over 40 yds.

I am now also considering a custom barrel in .357 Max. Bellm tightens 'em up pretty good for the Encore.

I have never used anything other than Blackhorn 209 powder. It's expensive, but considering you can shoot and shoot and shoot and not have to swab the bore, it's worth every penny. AMEN brother... After I tried that stuff, never again 777 or Pyro. I have a Triumph and love it. People resist it beca...

http://www.gunzilla.us/products.htm A little goes a long way. Cleans, lubes, protects and smells reasonable. You can wipe down the outside with it (very lightly). I use it for all my guns including my ML. The only time I get out the Hoppe's is to thoroughly clean my breech plug in a hurry (which you...

... As I said (most people can not handle a handgun good enough) ... And what does this have to do with the appropriateness or effectiveness of any given weapon? I can't shoot a bow, so I don't. Doesn't mean I can't shoot a ML handgun, nor should I be prohibited from doing so as long as the game an...

Sorry, but I don't feel that most people are competent with a handgun to hunt with them in black powder where they will only be limited to one shot that just might be a wounding shot. It is bad enough that some or most people that I know don't practice with the Black Powder weapons that they have u...

I have recently approached my district DGIF board member to inquire about creating a common-sense regulation allowing muzzle-loading pistols for big game. Many states already allow this with restrictions on caliber (> .45), barrel length (>10 inches), and energy (>500 ft. lbs. at 100 yds.). (my sour...

I'm using Firefox and have noticed a few times during the past couple of weeks that I get a wide screen that scrolls off to the right...its not been consistent though and I usually get a normal screen...not sure what the prob is and thought it was on my end... I've noticed the same thing occasional...

Kinda an Oxey-Moran isn't it NRA Convention and Anti-Gun Is the hotel venue driving the Anti-Gun? I would have went just to hear Glen Beck if for nothing else but work got in the way Vern I think he was referring to the place where the convention is held being a "Gun Free Zone". Is that c...

I heard from Dance's Sporting Goods yesterday, that the Sussex Shooting Sports range will be opening pistol and rifle ranges soon. No details. I't out 460 East toward Tidewater area.

It certainly is very reminiscent of the HiPower, visually.

To paraphrase Jim Croche,

"You don't tug on Superman's cape,
You don't spit into the wind,
You don't pull the mask of that old Lone Ranger,
And you DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH HIM."

Pics please! Never even heard of one before.

...My powder of choice for lighter .44 Mag loads is Titegroup. It burns pretty cleanly and is relatively position-insensitive in the case (also good for .45 Colt for this reason). For heavier loads, I use the traditional 2400. Hey, it works. :-) I also see "cowboy" loads for Titegroup dow...

Only if I want to hit something more than once and not by accident!

... If you are looking for a fun way to get back into hunting Black Powder is a great way to start and it is fairly inexpensive. Here is a good one to start off with ... And the new inlines are REALLY accurate. Nothing to sneeze at with a good Hornady XTP in a sabot. VERY deadly for the deer. Not t...

Congrats, Ben! The Lee Classic Turret Press is a great piece of machinery. One question. Do you primarily load handgun ammo or rifle ammo? Glad to hear this since I bought one also. Haven't set it up yet since I still need to go get some reloading manuals and some powder. Reloading for a .44 mag an...

I have an MP9, I'll let it go for 650. with hard case and two extra soft grips, it has two 17 rd magz...(could be 15)... :whistle: I am close to Ft. Eustis, pm me if interested Are you talking about a M&P 9mm or a Ruger MP9? That's a S&W M&P 9. Speaking of S&W, the M&P9c (compac...

By the same logic....better is better
