    Where to set the sights ?

    I am very interested in trying this for my rifle. I already worked up a load for it and been shooting that combo since around Feburary/March and came in second place with it (in the main aggregate) at our small Spring rendezvous and third place in the animal aggregate. There was only around...

    Is your shot hand cast with flat sprue, or are they swaged?

    Dutch Schultz' Accuracy Method

    What patch "disintegration"? I didn't present any problems. I was just sharing my method and suggesting I may buy your book if I can get in print.

    Dutch Schultz' Accuracy Method

    I keep my precut patches in old film containers with OxYoke competion lube. In my Lyman GPR, I shoot this load: 60 grs 3f Goex, .015 wet patch, .498 ball that I cast. I sqeeze the excess lube from the patch firmly (consistently) each and every time before I load. I never wipe between shots. The...

    I fixed the trigger issue today properly with my side by side after it messed up my hunt. I just replace the pin with a lot longer one. Thanks for the help again.

    Leavin' 'em loaded

    Me too. I keep my 44 cal NMA attached to my bed rail and take my other NMA with extra clyinder with me to town, every trip. I am fully confident in both of them.

    Buckshot

    I'm sure glad 00 buckshot is legal in NC because I have killed at least 20 deer or more with it up to 50 yards throughout my life. I do not shoot at "moving bushes" either. I always take a good look at the deer, make sure it is not a fawn, make sure I know where my hunting party is located...

    Where to set the sights ?

    I'm interested in the way you adjust the amount of powder for different ranges. Do you mind telling me what caliber and how much powder you are using for these ranges?

    Side by side right trigger issue

    Not turkeys or quail, I'm hunting doves right now. And catching Canadian geese fever while I'm at it.

    I've caught Canadian geese fever!

    I've never got into waterfowl, but after watching 12 Canadian geese (come a long distance in this very, very large field) come withing 25 yards of me, I've been re-visioning the experience with amazement and awe. I really believe my electric dove Mojo and 4 non-electric decoys lured them into my...

    Side by side right trigger issue

    I only killed one before the issue, but my buddy killed two. And it was drizzling rain like the entire week. So, not a lot of birds, but added to the collection. After I get enough, around 15, my mom said she would fry them and make homemade gravy and rice, with fried (blackened) okra. We do not...

    Side by side right trigger issue

    The pin that goes between the two triggers popped lose again this morning on my hunt. I got home and decided to measure the pin and replace it with a longer one. I still cannot figure out why they put such a short pin in at the factory. Anyways, I had a drill bit that measured 2 mm like the pin...

    Skychief Smoothbore Load Recipe........

    I'm using 12 gauge, so I need to add around 45% more weight? But, I have the prelubed OxYoke wads. I know they are already lubed but I decided to soak them in olive oil anyways. I am getting so confused. I will be better off to order some dry wads and start from scratch I believe.

    The Muzzleloading Shotgun, by V.M. Starr

    I like "skychiefs load" and reasoning. I also like the small book I just read by V.M. Starr. I will experiment with both mens' methods, keep my targets, record exactly what I did-range-etc., and make a final decision after a very long spell of pondering about the pro's and con's about each. No...
