    Do I really need a BlackHorn Breech Plug?

    I shoot the encore too. Never a need for the Buckhorn plug. As stated mine always goes bang. Unfortunate TC went out of business but their encores are top notch

    CVA Mag Hunter 50 cal. Help

    There is a lot to learn about muzel loaders. I would start by getting on YouTube and watching videos. You will pick up the basics as well as some idea about load data. Personally I start out at 80 grains of powder weighed, CCI 209 primer and a 200 grain bullet. I shoot a lighter bullet than...

    Nice looking adult Tom. Hard to tell if he is healthy from pic. Kinda looks like he is dappled by sunlight. Always exciting to see a lion.

    What’s the coolest thing you found in the back country

    Found an old still years ago. No picture as cell phones were not invented. Also found an old cook stove, strange because it was just siting in woods. No house around.

    Eastern vs western hunting success rate

Never been interested in one day hunts. I always plan on at least a week and probably several weeks through the...

    Small Brass Primer Holders for MK 85

    My first Muzel loader was a MK 85. Killed a lot of deer with it using Small Brass primer holders using small rifle primer. Would like to wipe off the dust and start using it again. Does anyone know where I might find these small inserts? I still have a few but could use more. Appreciate any...

    Hunting private ground in your state

    Never, really asked for permission in Virginia as there is over a million acres of public land and very little pressure. Deer quantity is lower than private but there are some big bucks on public. After I get tired of chasing my tail on public I am fortunate enough to have family members lease...

    Anyone Own/Use the HALO Bolt Air 58830 Unit?

    Don't have the Audew 2000A portable jump starter but have used a couple different models. Mine will jump start a vehicle quickly with no issues. It will also pump up a tire from flat to about 40 lbs. It used to go higher but its getting some age on it. This last one came from Harbor freight. One...

    Help a novice pick a scope

    Leupold, has worked for decades for me from Canada to Mexico. Pros like yourself appear to go to the extreme. I'm aware of the other brands and their cost. But why spend more than nessasary. The hundreds saved could be put to better use. Don't worry about my skin.

    I have several different scopes. I have however continued to buy Leopold as they are clear, near bomb proof and you can not beat their warranty. I also have a Zeiss and its is very good. Then I still have a bunch of Nikons from my earlier years. They function well and I only had one failure in...
