Hey folks, it has been many moons since I have signed on here, so long in fact, I'm probably not even the same person I was the last time I signed on. Anyhow, my interests have changed a bit and while I am still a "hunter" (i use that term loosely since most of my hunting is just eradicating...

I was given a 150 pound pig this week, pretty good gift as the meat will be a nice addition to the freezer this winter. It was a large vietnamese potbelly pig, not sure if that matters... He looked just like a wild boar, tusks and all. ok, on to the ammo statement. I have some blazer brass...

I was just given a mature male potbelly pig, pretty good size, I have no way to guesstimate the weight but if I had to, I'd say 100 pounds. Pretty sure he's "intact" meaning uncut. He looks like a wild boar and my guess is his meat will be similar. I've processed at least a hundred deer in...

I own a blueberry farm and have HUGE issues with deer. We take as many as we can, but can't spend all our time out there "hunting". It may be prudent for folks to contact farms, orchards and vineyards in their area and inquire about hunting their land. Lots of us get depredation permits...

I acquired a savage 111 in .30-06 for my knock around farm gun, mainly so I have something that I won't cry about if it gets hurt unlike my more expensive rifles. I have been looking for a .30-06 with iron sights for a while now, was happy to finally find one, but a little dismayed when I got...

Title pretty much says it all... I started to get into handloading, bought all my stuff and started learning before I realized 2 things... It will take alot of trial and error to get all the variables worked out, and I don't have a good "dry" (as in not ridiculously humid) place to do it at...

I have a new model blackhawk, .41 mag. Was going out on farm patrol this morning and it started locking up on me. The culprit is the transfer bar, it is not moving rearward to clear the firing pin, if held upright it will, but otherwise, no deal... I can't get the screws out to take the...

I'm curious if excessive vibration will cause a breakdown of powder granules, exposing more surface area and possibly causing an overpressue scenario? I'm thinking about putting a rifle rack on my tractor, I have neglected to do so because I didn't want to shake any of my nice rifles apart...

Just curios, one of those things I started thinking about "one round, several guns" kind of deals. Curious about say, a 300 yard range? less? more? Never owned a 7.62x39 anything long enough to do any real accuracy testing with one and I've never owned a bolt action in that caliber.

I hope you folks will forgive me, this may be better suited for the "rifle" forum, but I get less trolls and smart alek comments in the handloading forum as opposed to the rifle forum... That's why I like the revolver forum better as well :D I sold my reloading supplies, I was honestly a bit...

I got my newest addition to the fleet, a little bull barrel MKII ruger .22 LR. Aside from crimson trace, has anyone produced a decent laser that will hold zero for these things? I might just end up getting a little walther as well if I can't find something, for the cost of the crimson...

Just putting some feelers out there for folks favorite use of deer. I have depredation permits on my farm and we eat ALOT of deer here. To be honest we're getting burnt out on it, but it's practically free and we have to take them out anyways... My personal favorite is battered and fried...

Does anyone know of a shop making custom over/under rifle/shotgun combos? Possibly a rebore, Just curious... I've almost convinced myself to spend a ridiculous amount of money on something silly.

I know this probably belongs over in the semi-auto forum, but the basis of the question shouldn't matter, AND, I like you folks better over here, less smart alek's :rolleyes: I picked up a ruger markII today, but again, type doesn't really matter... We can't tell if it is polished stainless...

an aquaintance has a dan wesson (don't know the exact model) blued steel, 2 sets of grips, 3 inch and 6 inch barrel for sale... $425 on it. I can use gun broker as well as everyone else, but I'm afraid I'm still seeing inflated prices that may go back down again, pre '13 panic prices, would...

please, personal experience only... I've had LOTS of bad luck with taurus/rossi weapons, but I'm looking for a levergun in a pistol caliber and seems like the cowboy shooters have driven the prices sky high on them, so I'm stuck with a rossi being the only one I can afford without lucking...

Just picked one of these critters up last night on a trade (yeah, that's legit where I'm from)... I did what most of us do, get a new toy, THEN start reading reviews. I was really dismayed by most of the reviews. I do not like the lock washers, painted finish, plastic barrel band and pot...

Picked up a new toy this morning at the flea market, a mossberg mariner. 400 bucks, might have overpaid a bit, but I like it. Came with a pistol grip and the regular stock, don't think I'll ever need the pistol grip though. I've never owned a shotty with cylinder bore before, what ranges...

Traded off my ruger p89 (I did like it as far as autos go) for a ruger single six with .22lr and .22wmr cylinders. Been looking to get one for a while, since almost all my wheel guns are rugers I wanted one with the same sight picture to practice with, without breaking the bank... I like it...

I added another wheelgun to my collection, getting rid of all these dang autos haha Got a ruger security six in stainless .357 magnum. I gotta say I like it. It doesn't 'feel' as solid as my blackhawks, but I like that it isn't as heavy and seems to fit my hand well, pretty nice gun and I'm...
