    Ruger American

    I've got the ranch version using AR mags. It loved black hills remanufactured with 69 gr smk's. Worked on trigger and have shot steel as far as 660 with it. As spife alluded to, good beater gun. Stays in my truck at all times for yotes.

    Zermatt TL3 to a muzzle loader (list on #162)

    The drop is used to make a full form die to engrave the bullets with the rifling from your barrel as bohem said. If shooting solids it helps the bullet swell into the rifling. Since the bullet is already sitting in the rifling verses being driven into it like a center fire, harder bullets...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for Air Rifle

    Bought a couple of the Bushnell nitros from Doug to put on a few of my air rifles. They are pcps but glass is definitely decent for the price. Not sure how they would hold up on a Springer though. May see if he still has any in stock.

    It better not stop for a break on the silo or it better be faster than a .25 pellet!

    How much longer will the ammunition shortage last

    The lgs store here ended up shutting down because they couldn't get any ammo in. He had 2 boxes for each gun on the shelf and finally had to say fuck it. Damn shame

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    Yeah, need to do a thread on them. This is second one, mines in .45 launching 325s. Using an arrowhead rifles breach plug that uses large magnum rifle primers. The modules are same bolt face as .308, so works in centerfire actions. Snap modules under extractor to load and nice thing about...

    In swing vault doors

    I've heard good things about them, gonna download their catalog. Did you go with electronic lock or dial? He was worried about electronic but I think they've came along way. You can pm me if you'd rather. Thanks again

    Question re: installing shouldered prefit

    I use a little anti seize on threads and as kthomas said some will come out on shoulder. Have changed barrels on my origin several times and never used a torque wrench, just 1/2 inch drive ratchet cranked tight. Probably in the minority on that but always shoots great.

    Just guessing that bullets gonna run out of steam fairly quick, not saying 350 isnt far! If he could get his hands on some pittmans or parker match hunters I know the bc would be way better. Think even arrowhead has a line of bullets now. Would have to check and see if available in .458 or just...

    Photos Smokeless muzzle loader!

    On mine their is a powder chamber in front of the plug. It is measured specifically for the load I'm shooting, can go more just not less. I am using my factory .308 bolthead on my Origin action with Arrowhead sporting goods modules. Definitely use a rear sealing plug whether its ASG or...

    Smokeless muzzleloader's will definitely shoot. Work some for a guy that builds them and half moa is for sure possible. We built one on my origin action, was shooting it at nmlra nationals and shot a 4 inch group at 500 yards with no rear rest. Had to use blackhorn powder though, no smokeless...
