    Hunting & Fishing Problems coyote hunting

    Me in my sniper's hide this morning. Notice my tasteful use of camo; mainly because it was a little chilly and my wife, a.k.a. Sweetsums, wouldn't let me out of the house on a day like this without something warm on. Around my place, coyotes tend to come around at dusk or in the early...

    M1A Problem

    I have used the drill bits to remove all the gunk. I also did the tilt test and I can hear the piston moving back and forth. In regards to the suggestions posted by Name Enough, the ONLY thing I did with the gas system was to remove the gas plug and piston and clean the system with the tools I...

    M1A Problem

    I've used a number of loads over the years the current one being 43.0 grains of IMR 4064 under 168 grain Nosler match bullets. This load has worked well for me in the past in this gun. As far as number of rounds down the barrel; I would have to say it has probably been between 1,000 and 2,000...

    M1A Problem

    I've recently been having trouble with my M1A using the same loads I've used for years. It now frequently fails to chamber another cartridge when I shoot it or even fails to cycle at all. What I've done: 1. I replaced the gas plug and the piston with new ones when simply cleaning the old...

    Suppressors My Thunderbeast -- EXPLODED!!

    It's a little off the subject of suppressors but bullet yaw and "going to sleep" can't explain 1 MOA groups at 100 yards and 0.5 MOA groups at 300 yards. There is no way a bullet is going to be deviated to 1 MOA and then manage to steer itself back on course. I'd say scope parallax would be...

    Hunting & Fishing Freaking BOT FLY in my squirrel!

    You guys are too squeamish; it won't hurt the meat. And, do you guys who "hate to shoot something and not eat it" eat the coyotes you shoot? If so, please share your recipie. Just kidding. This is why I'm a vegetarian.

    Hunting & Fishing Coyotes

    Several points: 1. Coyotes do seem to come around at certain times of day at least in Ohio. I generally see them at dusk or in the early morning but the odd one also comes thorugh in the afternoon. 2. If you bait them with something they like to eat, they will make a habit to visit you. At...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting 308 bullets

    If the bullets are the same weight you shoot for target, just use the same load. Considering I've taken deer with such things as a 204 Ruger, 222 Remington and a 22-250 Remington at ranges up to 360 yards, you should be tood to 400 or 500 yards anyway as long as your marksmanship and rifle...

    Hunting & Fishing AR 223/5.56 for big game hunting

    I've never taken a deer with a 223 Remington but I have with a 222 Remington and a 204 Ruger at about 80 and 252 yards respectively. My .224 caliber bullet of choice is the Speer 70 gr. Semi-Spitzer and in the 204 Ruger I use Hornady 45 gr. Spire Points. I've also taken deer with a 22-250 but...

    Hunting & Fishing Deer hunting in Ohio

    I use a Horton crossbow and have been very impressed with the accuracy. As for guns, a muzzleloader will probably get you better range than a shotgun and you can use it in shotgun season and in muzzleloader season. If you decide to go with a shotgun, you'll have to try various types of ammo...

    I have some questions: 1. When I get a private message, I get no notification at my e-mail address of record. Is this the way it's supposed to be? 2. In my notifications, it says I have several unread messages. I've read them all; what gives? 3. I sent a private message to another...

    Hunting & Fishing Africa dangarous game caliber?

    A 375 H&H Magnum is legal for dangerous game anywhere in Africa where hunting is allowed. It should be quite adequate for lion. There are a host of other cartridges suitable for dangerous game so what your friend uses depends in part on how much he wishes to spend and what else he wishes to...
