I really like a half dozen champagne corks scattered out from 8 to 30 yds.... and then with my rifles, i don't think a pie plate is too large at 100 yds...i can make my lyman hit much smaller, but at that distance with irons, it takes so long to aim and concentrate, that i dont feel like it...

That's an excellent point! The 70 in 45-70 originally denoted that the cartridge was loaded with 70 grains of black powder, and the caliber denoted that it was .45. Which is only a hundredth or 5 thousandths of an inch larger in diameter than what we shoot, essentially no difference...and being...

Heres one for you. Hit the one above and missed the one below. Not too far off though. But shooting semi from the hip...can't really expect much unless you're one of those cowboy action shooters who practice obsessively behind the scenes. They sure have my respect. This was me when i was...

I would just go out man. With a light coat, The walking more than keeps you warm, and with the snow, any rabbit or bird tracks you find, you know will be fresh...and when you stop walking, relaxing by the fire still keeps you more than warm. Try it. If you don't like it you can walk back to the...

Well they are definitely beginning to rut up here in SD. I have seen a change driving to work since Halloween...bucks in the open in broad daylight...nice ones, People I'm in touch with back home in Southern Indiana are seeing it too since last weekend, from reliable sources, so im saying they...

You are doing it man! I like that fire. I graded and tied rebar yesterday and poured a footing and stripped simon forms today. It was in one of those towns out in the mountains where some of the deer just realize the pickings are easy and tame up and become resident deer. Saw a dandy whitetail...

Man, you are nailing em this month. 3 pheasants is a good day with any gun. Especially without a dog. Work has got me lately. They save our stuff with long drives for the wintertime and pay us for the drive time so we don't lose hours during the slow season, and we just dont have the daylight...

When i spit patch, i just like having my patches pre cut. Chew one a bit, work a little spit through it, and wipe the excess off with my lips when i remove it from my mouth. It works good. Except you really want to touch that load off within an hour before it dries up...or freezes. I have come...

I mean, if the threads on the female end look sharp and clean, and its blowing the nipple, then process of elimination tells you the threads are wrong on the nipples you're using. It needs to get sorted out before someone gets killed. That is a projectile flying rearwards just inches past your...

Or make a call to their regional corporate office and blatantly ask the same question and point out the liability that rests on them for misplacing an explosive... I did think that it was fedex that ships it though. I know usps won't. If it happened that ups policy does not allow shipment of...

So Tennessee gets their muzzleloader season during the rut?

There is a fellow on ebay who makes these takes him about a month. I cut the string off mine for something else. In my opinion, the knife is just a hair small. But his price is reasonable. If i recall he makes them out of recycled saw blades: Would prefer to have them made with a rivet instead...

You're out there doing what i wish i was doing this month. Muleys are already acting rutty, since about Halloween. I saw a change last week on my way to work. Now its just about every morning on work drive out to the reservation. 80 miles through nothingland busting 50 hour work weeks with a 2...

I would have to agree. I might add that, its little brother, the .40 is a close competitor. And a versatile hunter might choose a .40 if he is bent on small game and a little big game, like i am, or a .45 if he is bent on big game with some small game. I currently use a .44 mostly, and mostly...

Head shots...Thats what i meant by the tight groups. They're tight enough to hit them in the head without wasting meat.

Whereabouts in SD?

A .440 round ball, or even conical, is .440 caliber. Most commonly it would be associated with a rifle or pistol with a .45 caliber barrel...just like how in a .50 caliber barrel, you use a .490 caliber ball, because of the patch

Now that is what I'd call a stopping point. You could hunt squirrels with groups like that!...or take the head off a grouse...

I really dont even have a guess as to what it is. Its definitely enough velocity for anything you want to do with it...but beyond that, I dont have anything.

I would just call or write to the company and ask.
