    No Excuses .54 bullets

    No patch. You pour powder, put in a flat .54 caliber felt wad and seat the bullet OVER it. Ram it. The wad does not go around the bullet. The bullet is made to engage the rifling directly and is a sufficiently tight fit.

    No Excuses .54 bullets

    I use them in my TC Scout .54 on my last elk hunt. 90 grains of pyrodex select over a lubed wonder wad. They shot a good group using iron sights. The attached image was to check zero. Fired two and said good enough for 125 yards. My 430 grain TC maxiball loads also shoot to the same point of...

    Custom Home - Must Haves?

    1. We have JBL ceiling speakers in most every room in the house and in the garage and the rear patio. Pure bliss to walk about with music going all day. 2. In the master shower, the builder added a three nozzle side shower with separate valve. So nice to luxuriate in there after a workout. Hit...

    Army Corps says no to massive gold mine proposed near Bristol Bay in Alaska

    Sako 85 rail

    And after all, who doesn’t want sexy. I showed my new rail on my finnlight to my wife and she immediately dropped her panties. Seriously he makes good stuff.

    I found this month’s theme song!

    A perfect sing-along on your way to elk camp, the gun range or other places. I used to head to post for PT with this thumping. I kind of thought of it this week for obvious reasons.

    Armed services/veterans/leo/first responders

    Regular army infantry officer from 1989 to 1992. Who doesn’t like live fire maneuvers, and drinking beer with friends after hours in the BOQ! I still talk to some of the guys monthly, even after 30 years. Got out after my obligation to go to grad school (JD/MBA).

    Didn’t Receive the Vaccine Today

    Figure I will get it ASAP, then I will purposely not wear a mask and then start hanging out with all the people who refused to wear a mask in the first place and likewise refused to get vaccinated. Just curious to see what happens. 🤔😜

    Muzzleloading Frustration!

    I figured it must be 209 since he had to open it, but that’s true enough. I’ve seen break opens that shot #11. Yes and it was the right call not to shoot too far. 125 is really about my limit with irons on game. I used to shoot NRA service rifle to 600 and pop ups at 300 in the infantry, but...

    So I threw 48 pounds on my back today

    And you definitely need trekking pokes when carrying meat out.

    Muzzleloading Frustration!

    That’s unusual for a 209 not to ignite.

    Why does my tikka Suck?

    My sako finnlight (same barrel I believe) shoots much better with a totally filthy barrel. I shoot Barnes LRX out of it.
