    Maggie’s Mythbusters Fires Ordnance Into Neighborhood!

    Fastest flattest screaming SOB

    Re: Fastest flattest screaming SOB Vanilla .243 will run the 55gr nosler BT at 4000fps but do not try to run that in a fast twist. It did not survive a 1-7.5 and I had the only .243 shotgun on the ranch that day.

    Cleanest burning ball powder for .223 (AR15)

    Re: Cleanest burning ball powder for .223 (AR15) Ramshot exterminator is what I use for high volume rat shooting in the .223 and it has been excellent. Do use HBN but have not seen a carbon ring build up after as much as 1000 rounds, something I could not say when running H335 or Varget. TAC...

    Hunting & Fishing Central Texas 2 coyotes, one BIG hog

    Re: Central Texas 2 coyotes, one BIG hog Nice piggy, 225-250lbs? What was the shot placement? My buddy loves the 178Amax for pigs, hard to get in trouble on bullet performance if your running a heavier slug at .308 speeds.
