    2022 Muzzleloader Buck

    Really Nice Buck. Little late on your post but Congrats. I read a long time ago that if a guy could hunt anywhere in the USA what time of year would it be the best time. These were professional hunters so to speak and almost everyone said the 1st week of November was the best time to hunt...

    Neck sizing lube.

    I use this to seat my bullets but don’t use it to resize your cases. It it very dirty and you will probably stick your cases Unless you’re neck sizing. The dry powder makes the bullet seat easier but for sizing use the Redding Imperial Sizing Wax. A little bit goes a long way.

This way you know what your velocity is and can put in good info. IMR 4895 is a good powder in the .308. I...

    Need some suggestions. 30-06 reloads

    Faster twist will shoot the light bullets just fine. I have shot Speer 110 gr SP out of a .300 WM and 30/06 . Was shooting groundhogs and the worked great. A bit explosive but that is what I was after. The faster twist 1-10 is designed for heavier bullets 180-up but it will shoot the lighter...

    FNG from Tennessee

    Like you I pretty much am a lurker on most forums. Would rather listen than talk. Found I can learn a lot more by keeping my mouth shut. I live north of Chattanooga TN and love it here. Been to a lot of places but like it best here. There are beautiful places all over the country. Welcome
