    25-06 factory options

    I would not hesitate to do a rebarrel. Pick the platform you like and have it rebarreled and chambered in 25-06. This was a pawn shop beater ADL. New Bartlein barrel, EBay HS stock, and a Trigger Tech special I bought on some type of sale . It’s a hammer with 115 VLDs. I’ve killed deer...

    .223 75gr eldm varget

    If your rifle has a 1-8 twist or faster I would shoot a 77 grain SMK. I would pick a proven available powder. It doesnt matter how good a powder or projectile is if you cant get them when you want or need them. The SMKs are easy to tune and pretty much always available. Same for the Hornady 75...

    Reloading scale that doesn’t suck?

    I’ve been using a Chargemaster for several years. The MK Machining tube insert will help eliminate overthrows and the speed mod speeds things up. Ive loaded thousands of rounds of ammo with it for matches and hunting. I don’t feel like it’s ever held me back.

    Who hunts with sub 20 inch "tactical" shotgun for turkey?

    I shot this one with 21” 870 Friday morning. It’s not very sexy, but it works.

    Who hunts with sub 20 inch "tactical" shotgun for turkey?

    I have a 1301 comp set up for 3 gun. It’s got a FO front and XS express rear that’s been milled into the rib mainly for shooting slugs in tactical matches. I’ve pulled the extended mag tube and hunted with it before, but it’s so light, it actually kicks harder than my 20” 870. You won’t notice...

    Alligator setup for a trad bow

    8ft and 10 ft. The 8 fter wound himself up ike a mummy in the line. Drug him to the boat and hit him with the stick. The 10 footer went to the bottom and was just of dead weight until we hit him with the bang stick. The guy I hunted with shot a 12 footer the first night of the season in pretty...

    South Carolina opening day gobbler

    This morning is the private land opener in the game zone where I live and hunt in South Carolina. I hunted a relatives farm not far from where I live this AM and didn’t hear a single gobble. It didn’t surprise me, we’ve got a low pressure system moving in so I went to where I had seen a good...

    Loading 30-30 in general & Lehigh controlled chaos?

    I thought about that myself. I’ve slipped up and counted coup on several well within 30-30 range. Just have to find one in the right spot and not be too picky.

    Precision gas gun, Form?

    A good barrel and a good trigger are the basis for an accurate gas gun. Contact Craddock Precision and have them build you an upper around a Bartlein or Krieger blank.

    Alligator setup for a trad bow

    I used a regular AMS reel on a 50 pound takedown recurve. The head was a 3 prong grapple style on a regular fiberglass fish arrow. No float, and neither took a lot of line. I threw the bow down and grabbed the line, pulled them to the boat and bang sticked them in the head. Honestly, I’ve shot...
