    Hunting & Fishing 530 with Muzzleloader update** added a 865 doe

    I've been shooting smokeless for years. I started with a factory Savage and took several shots past 200; with my longest being 333 yards. I'm still shooting a Savage but with a Pacnor .45 no sabot. Bullet to bore swaging to .450 with IMR 4198 shooting 2610 fps with a 300 grain bullet. My hunting...

    Hunting & Fishing 530 with Muzzleloader update** added a 865 doe

    Get you some info later, heading to the woods now. There is some info on some of the videos on my YouTube channel linked above. You can go full custom or remage brux or savage brux or pacnor. Study Dougs Message board or call Hankins custom Rifles, he is good at what he does.

    Hunting & Fishing 530 with Muzzleloader update** added a 865 doe

    Yesterday I sat the evening on my hunting lease overlooking several fields. A nice mature doe stepped out at 530 yards. I was also trying to get this on video so I adjusted the spotting scope with phone adapter hoping she would stand still. Back on the rifle dialed 15.9 moa and sent a 300 grain...

    Range Report Extreme Muzzleloading 837 yards

    A big ole doe fell today to this front loading hammer! Perfect shot placement at 859 yards. If you are interested in a Precision muzzleloader check out Jeff Hankins custom muzzleloader. These are some serious rifles! I only wish I had remembered to hit the record button!!

    Range Report Extreme Muzzleloading 837 yards

    Manufacturer list an approx BC, Im not sure how he settled on his final bc. He is.a great and knowledgeable shooter, what I do is know this rifle is a hammer. It sure appears to cover the distance faster than my LM. I am thinking a 1-20" twist with a 350 but the bullet has alot of bearing...

    Range Report Extreme Muzzleloading 837 yards

    Last year I Posted some pictures of a friends doe harvested at 826 yards with a custom Savage muzzleloader. He has had a new rifle built by Jeff Hankins in Kentucky and let me tell you she is a hammer. Tim is running a brux barrel .45 on a Rem 700 action pushing a dose of IMR and a 350 grain...

    Grendel Barrel

    Very satisfied with my Lilja but Lija is not a manufacturer listed by the op. Lilja is in stock and a great shooter and is getting faster and more accurate with each range trip.

    6.5 Grendel w/ new Lilja

    I have been very satisfied with the two Satern barrels I have had. I didn't try handloads in them, only factory Hornady amax loads. Both where 1/2-34" barrels. This go around I wanted to try a Lilja. I've not heard the claim you have but I have heard JP barrels are great.

    6.5 Grendel w/ new Lilja

    Just checked it, little slow but very accurate! Took it to 600 this evening with no issue. Loaded up a sst same load, right at moa 200yards. The amax is a laser with the 3031. Here is a pict of todays target with various loads and distance.

    6.5 Grendel w/ new Lilja

    Yes, load before the 3031 was 28.5 of 8208. I thought here is my load, less Than 1/2", then I shot the 3031. It will be one or the other, more testing on these two loads at distance.

    Hunting & Fishing 6 vs 6.5 for whitetail?

    Im a 6.5 creed fan on game, last year with the 143 eldx my son and I took four does. Two where a shade over 600 and two a shade over 700. All high shoulder shots and three drt and one made it about 20 yards. This year on youth day he took an eight point at 539, shot back a tad but it expired...

    6.5 Grendel w/ new Lilja

    Messing around today with load development. Looks like the 3031 behind a 123 amax is the right combo.

    6.5 Grendel w/ new Lilja

    As long as I've been a member here you would think I would heed my own and many others advice, "buy once cry once". Having built five Grendel uppers, have just not been satisfied. Three of the Saterns shot under MOA, one BA shot under MOA, and took a chance on a BCA just to see what you really...

    Hunting & Fishing Made one last fishing trip

    We caught several in this class, sore arms and tired backs and stories for a lifetime. Never fished any further south than SC but would love to some day!

    Hunting & Fishing Made one last fishing trip

    Just returned from one last fishing trip before Deer season fires up. The bite was hot and steady Friday and Saturday! Fish of this quality sure made winterizing the boat a little tough! We caught several in the 30-40 lb class Fri and Sat in the 40-50 lb class. Here is a sample of a 50lb red

    ReMage: Criterion vs Mcgowen???

    Have had several Criterion barrels and one McGowan. All have been shooters. Like the others get whichever suits you or readily available. 6.5 go with 1-8" and enjoy. Great barrels!
