My state's deer season is coming to a close soon, Feb 10th. I do plan to hunt deer until it closes, but not exactly trying to shoot another one, I got a decent 8pt and my wife got a doe earlier this week. So for us we are ok as far as freezer filling goes. One more big deer would be great, but...

Basically If you had to choose one rifle powder and one only to have to use the rest of the time you are able to enjoy this incredible hobby what would it be... Its an incredibly easy choice for me, it would have to be IMR 8208 XBR, it really is the one powder I can't live without. I load so...

I've been hunting the same property (16 acres) for 11 years now. It's not a spectacular spot BUT it's privately owned and it's only hunted by me and my wife. We've had up years and down years, we've always put meat in out freezer, just large bucks have been hard to come by. The spot is kinda in...

Yesterday March 9 2022, our Governor Kay Ivey signed into law a bill that allows permitless concealed carry. A win for Alabama a win for law abiding citizens, and a win for the 2nd Amendment. There will be permits still issued to allow state reciprocity.

Yesterday I let my wife take my 350 Legend AR-15 deer hunting. Seems like right before dark she let the rifle fall out of the tree stand. She said the scope hit the metal ladder rung on its way down and the barrel stuck into the dirt/mud plugging up the barrel. The bird cage flash hider at least...

So this morning I was sitting in a single man ladder stand and I knew it would be close range and that a 25 yard shot would be as long as I would get. I decided to take my AR pistol in 10mm. Its a Moriarti Arms 10.5 inch complete pistol from them. My 10mm reloads with the Swift A Frame 180gr...

I live in a state that does not have many cartridge restrictions, in fact the rule says "centerfire mushrooming ammunition" no other regulations. Well my shoulder just isn't what it used to be and I have been using AR type rifles almost exclusively for years. So I decided to try myself a 350...

A few weeks ago many of you saw my thread on my SA-35. Well I haven't shot it anymore but I gave it a good cleaning and swapped out the grips. It wasn't that the wood grips were bad, they are fine. It's that I want to keep the factory wood grips in as good a shape as possible, so I got some...

As most of you here know, the SA-35 is the Springfield copy of the Browning Hi Power. It was announced a few weeks ago. Well a few days after announcement I went into my LGS who I've known the owner and his family for years, go to church with them, and said put my name on the list for a SA-35...

So today was the day...my 13 year old nephew has been after me for a while about taking him shooting and he wants to deer hunt. Well this year hunting is completely out of the question, well as far as shooting goes. I had him do a free version of an online firearm safety course and if he did...

A month or so ago I decided to pony up the cash and get some Swift 180gr A Frame bullets. Man O Man are they some pricey bullets BUT they package them in foam in single holes to keep them from banging around. The appearance quality was very nice and I was impressed. Load data was pretty hard to...

So recently I've purchased a Glock 40 10mm. I suppose it compliments my S&W 610 and my AR pistol all in 10mm.I yesterday shot the reloads for my 10's and well I didn't think I'd get the velocity I'm seeing. My load data is 13.5gr AA9, once fired S&B Brass, 180gr Nosler JHP, and a Winchester...

I got this deer on my game camera I've had him all year long and he looks just fine, then on 1-7-21 he shows up like this. I tend to think a bobcat personally. What do you guys think happened? Do you think he will make it? Infection kill him? If I see him should I end the suffering or is he...

I had a local rifle builder do me a custom built 7mm08 about 5 years ago. I shot it at targets and was very pleased with my reloads accuracy. I had velocity, bc, dope chart, etc. etc. already done BUT I never hunted with it until this year. After shooting before season I was very confident in my...

The first rifle I bought myself at 18 yrs old was a Marlin 22mag bolt gun. It is the tube fed model. It was my first love when it came to guns. It always seemed to kill what I hit with it, and it just wouldn't let me miss. I killed countless squirrels, raccoons, rabbits, etc with it for the next...

About a month ago I got a NIB 610-3 6.5" 10mm revolver. I really like the pistol and I plan on deer hunting with it, think bow range only. For me the pistol is a little big and heavy to shoot accurately off hand. I'm much better shooting it off any improvised rest I can come up with. Without...

Yesterday I shot my 610-3 10mm revolver for the first time...LOVE IT. I do have some questions though. I shot 4 different types of ammo (all 10mm) through it using the moon clips and had 100% function no issues at all. The thing is that the ammo all hits to a different POI. All shots were shot...

I sent my Sig P365XL back to them for failing to return to battery. I received it back from repair in 8 days total. Can't get much better than that. The note in the box stated they replaced recoil spring, replaced extractor spring, lubed gun and fired 30 rounds Blazer Brass 124 gr. Noted no...

So today I took my 9mm Ruger Carbine to a friend's house to shoot for the first time. All I can say is WOW I haven't had that much fun in a very long time. It's moved up into my top 3 favorite guns I own. I shot ~125 rounds of 3 different ammos all brass cased and it shot the 115gr GECO best. I...

So today I shot another 100 rounds through my pistol. I shot 50 rounds of WWB 115gr ammo and experienced 3 failure to return to battery. I shot 50 rounds of American Eagle 124gr and had 6 failure to return to battery. The failures were with both mags and seemed to be random and not the same...
