    Reloads, just how anal are you?

    I'm not hung up on being anal. I just follow basic reloading data. I trim, bump the neck if needed by chamberimg an empty case. Prep, prime and load. I find it's easy to get moa which as a hunter is all I need. Too many get hung up on the process. That is a waste of time. Why make it more...

    Best brass Annealer?

    EP Intergrations is what I have been using for the past two years. I find it takes a few minutes to set up but once adjusted is very fast. Normally I process batches of 50 and complete the annealing very quickly. I cringe when someone says what's the best as that is subjective. Most times it...

    Hunting scope options

    I like Leopold and I don't even use the top of the line. They have proven hardy and can take abuse. I have used them in Wyoming, Canada and up and down the East coast. Will probably try a Nightforce in the future. But it's hard to break away from something that works well. Plus I shoot a whole lot.

    My first bear rug

    Nice rug! Glad I killed mine about 10 years ago. Only cost a bit over 600. 1300.00 is a big increase. I will think very hard before I shoot another and if I do will tan it myself. It's not really that hard and I have done two.

    Thank you for the information Bluefish. Can you provide the source of your information so that I can follow along? Please excuse all the quotes. Haven't figured how to work them yet.

    Thompson center encore

    This is confusing. Several individuals have told me the encore prohunter is engraved. Then more have said clones don't have engraving. Looking for another frame to cut down on barrel changes. Guess, I will buy one with the engraving to match the one I have. Thanks for your input.

    Thompson center encore

    Thank you for your reply. I have been looking to buy another encore pro hunter frame. Looking at one that is said to be a prohunter but has no engraving. Flex tech stock, swing hammer. I think it is a contender with its wood stock so will probably pass on it. Just tired of switching between...

    Did not think my simple question would be difficult to answer.

    NY hunters are people too.

    Seems to me it's about time to lock this thread down. Getting tired of emails popping up with negative alerts. Positive is always.betterfor our sport. Leave the egos behind. jmo

    NY hunters are people too.

    There are many reasons a dealer may not wish to sell to a certain customer. His right! Downgrading his reputation and calling him names is wrong. You are being childish and mature. New York is a beautiful state and clearly rich in resources and game. But the politics of the state skewed. How...

    Blackhorn 209 in stock at Powder Valley

    I have plenty to get me through the next two years. But all the whining about price is crazy. I would buy it at 200.00 for 8oz if nessary. It's the best you can buy and just consider all the money you splurge on other hunting gear.🤣

    110 VMAX carnage (Graphic)

    Looks like a lot of wasted meat to me. Such high velocity at such a close range is bound to cause havoc. Not to mention lack the proper penetration. Experimentation is fine but only after researching the bullet history and development. I frequently ask questions on this and several other...

    #14 Be Scientific: Shoot More Bullets Per Group

    After years of shooting three shot groups I would consider them accurate and statistically relevant. I have shot 5 shot and 10 shot groups out of curiosity and found little difference except shooter fatigue. So much good information on this forum but also a huge amount of irrelevant material or...
