    Hunting & Fishing Best pig gun?

    THIS. I always mentally check myself. Can I realistically make this shot hit exactly where I want it to? If I can't pull the trigger with confidence, I don't pull it. As an example, an eyeball shot on a running pig at 350 yds would make a great story, but if I'm honest with myself, I know I...

    Hunting & Fishing Feeding dogs wild game

    Get a new vet. Vets make a lot of money off selling dog food, and then treating sick dogs. Dogs have evolved over millions of years to eat meat and chew bones. They have only been eating commercial kibble food for the last fifty years. Before that, obesity, heart disease, tooth and gum disease...

    Hunting & Fishing Feeding dogs wild game

    Wild hogs do not get their shots and checkups regularly, of course. As a result, they can have trichanosis, which is why it is unsafe to eat them if the meat hasn't been cooked to at least 140 F. Trich is a worm, and temperature is the only thing that kills it. Its eggs are transmitted by eating...

    Hunting & Fishing Suppressed hunting bullet expansion

    Rancid, I'm hunting about 20 miles East of Cotulla, and I know what you mean about the brush. It's about 8 feet high, cactus and mesquite, wall to wall thorns. I tried dove hunting out there, and there are plenty of birds. I shot a few, and gave up after I couldn't recover a single one. No sense...

    Hunting & Fishing Suppressed hunting bullet expansion

    Rancid, I confess I hadn't even thought of running backward 208's. Genius! I'll give that a go, since I have a ton of them. I too noticed that the 208s are accurate enough for eye shots, even subsonic, inside about 60-70 yards. Maybe I'll do the same and concentrate on the headshots instead of...

    Hunting & Fishing Suppressed hunting bullet expansion

    I am hunting South Texas hogs using a suppressed AR in 300 BLK. I've been using factory Hornady 208 sub ammo, and I'm seeing the 208 AMAXs going straight through, without evidence of much expansion. The exits look about the same as the entries, and there's not as much disruption in the engine...

    45 ACP Powder Choice

    4.5 gr titegroup behind berry's 200 gr HP. Steps out pretty quick, an keeps on truckin. I like Titegroup a lot, because you can get almost a thousand rounds a pound out of it. Pretty important these days.

    If anyone in TX needs Lg Pistol Primers, check the FS section

    Reloading components are a bitch to find, so I wanted any Hide reloaders who need primers to get some for what I paid. I tripped over a good quantity, more than I need for myself. If this post is against the rules, my apologies, Mods please remove it.

    Is the Armalite Super SASS worth $1K more than the DPMS SASS?

    My DPMS SASS is a lights out shooter. Only complaint is it's still kinda heavy for an 18 in barrel gun.

    Fraud involving the mail. USPS postal inspectors have LE jurisdiction on both ends of this. I have seen them do some good work. Ymmv.

    Saving brass/loose primer pockets

    Very cool. I use my GRX dies constantly, but I never would have thought of this. Only other concern is how worn out are all the other parts of the case, by the time the primer pockets are blown out? Might be good to use em as throw downs in a lost brass match.

    Saving brass/loose primer pockets

    This sounds similar in theory to the Redding GRX dies that take the Glock Bulge out of pistol brass. Does it really tighten up the primer pockets, or just squeeze the case head dimension down?

    Help for limited powder choices in 300 BLK

    All the medium speed powders that seem to be recommended for 300 BLK are unobtanium right now. AA1680, W296, and lil gun seem to be the most recommended, but I can't find any. In my current powder inventory, I only have fast (Titegroup) and slow (Varget, CFE223, and H4831). I don't see any load...

    I really like that. Been wanting to do something similar. Can you post a build sheet/specs?

    45 years ago, what were you doing.

    Standing by on the hot ramp at Torrejon AFB, when the 307th TFS (48th TFW) got back after a year of air to mud out of Bien Hoa. Welcome back, pop.

    .308 hand load for FN SPR

    6 br, yes 42.5 gr. Sorry about that, I hope I didn't cause somebody a squib load. I found that in any of my .308 rifles, once I got over about 44 gr of Varget at mag length, I got good accuracy still, but my brass was taking a beating. 42.5 seem to be a FGMM clone for me, and it works great in...
