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
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...
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.
Never had much of an issue East or West. Public land in East can be difficult and take longer. I find hunting skills to be important as well s putting in the time to scout and hunt. Never been interested in one day hunts. I always plan on at least a week and probably several weeks through the...
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...
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...
Reloading is where its at. You may not save a bunch but the benefits of loading your own are huge. Plus by having your own components you will not have to worry about shortages. Improved accuracy is a given and the knowledge gained is invaluable and will drive your partition in the sport to...
Enjoyed this post and its answers. Were it me I would research the area for fifty miles around where my son moved and look to settle there. Hopefully entertainment and restaurants are plentiful. As for deer hunting NC and SW Virginia are good. A couple hours travel either north or South will...
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...
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...
Checked out the htg or mcs-tstocks. They are not what I am looking for I will try some of the long range forums as they seem more intune to my needs. Thanks for you input.
