Okay fellas. Looking for a 25.06 (maybe .243) heavy barrel for coyote to deer. Average shots to be taken from 100 to 400 yds in all sorts of weather. Will be matched with a Nikon or Leupy 6-18x40's. Bullets will range from light loads (coyote) to heavier loads (deer) all factory ammo (haven't got th...

That's a pretty sweet set up your boy has there! :D Out here we have a lot of green in the spring through the early fall. As soon as I get the chance I'll have to post some pics with my suit. My ghillie needs some more brown in it for where I'll be at specifically, but for now it's awesome. . . .pro...

I heard about this issue on the radio the other day. The announcer made it sound like they were gonna let anyone with at least one tooth and a quarter of a brain fly around Texas with a.. dare I say it. . . "gun" :eek: evil things, guns are soo bad! (sarcasm) They made it sound like there ...

bought a ghillie suit. . . :D . . . butt. . . no face mask. my 3d leafy mask makes too much noise when the suit's hood is up, dern polyester mask. Started to make my own mask with a ski mask, but I can't get the fabric that I would like to tie to it. Face paint is too shiny from my past experiences....

Me and my coworker. . . Mongo. . . had this discussion a few years ago regarding deer. He pees in a bottle, while I prefer to let it all hang out. I've shot as many deer as he has. In fact, when I was in the Boy Scouts sum years back, we were out at Philmont hiking the upper 40. We were instructed t...

Turkey Season nuf said Now, I don't want the wife to know, but spring season is a dead time for turkeys at the farm. But, Its the best time for yotes. 2008 spring season a buddy of mine (who had never been turkey or coyote hunting) was persuaded to go with me. He's nearly albino, so he spent a good ...

I like 'em cause I know that they will crush bone. In some cases, I've had a head shot that would've put the lighter rounds out of the ring. That 45 gr busted right through the skull, or shoulder.

My mod 12 Savage is a 1:12 twist. It loves the 40 gr Vmax and likes the 45 gr SP. The lighter rounds don't seem to do as well with my barrel.

I have been in you shoes cshooter. I had a monster chow running my farm. I went through the whole process without success. I opted for a load of .22 lr bird shot. After receiving a load in "gentle places" he thought it best to leave. If you make contact with the police and dog warden then ...

A buddy has a Stevens 322a in 22 hornet. He's wanting to use it for coyote hunting with me, but I'm not familiar with this caliber. I know of it, but not about it and what is can do. I would imagine that it'll function fine for coyotes. . . He's having difficulty matching the rifle to a good set of ...

Sweet pic!! I'd like to hear about the hunt and the rig.

thanks!!

Here's a pic of 2 inch thick lexan plastic. A college buddy works for a gov research facilty that was using lexan in some tests. He sent me some chuncks to through lead at. I beat some pieces with a ball bat with little damage visible. Others, like the one in the pic was filled with holes. Nothing b...

I shoot the Vmax 40 gr Horns and occasionally the 45 gr SP Horns. Never had a problem. Some people have had issues with the "accuracy" of the 40 grainers. . . . my accuracy is 3 shots inside a nickel at 100 yds and 3 shots inside a silver dollar at 200 yds with a 3-9x40 lupy scope. In the ...

AAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! :evil: Just another Jedi mind trick!! I called Hornady (which has an AWESOME :eek: phone service if ya listen to all of the message options) and spoke with a customer sales rep. Guess what. . . . ? . . . . ? They currently do not manufacture the 45 grain XTP in the .204 ruger c...

Glen: Thanks for the web link! That was awesome! Good posting! I've looked at the Surefire line. . some. The current leader for the read lights that I've been considering is the Primos Nightblaster with the 6v rechargable battery in a carry bag. I have reservations due to the fact that I can't find ...
