    A Man Has to Know His Limitations!

    I had learned… Know your Target, and what is behind it. Shoot only if you want to destroy it. If I’m deer hunting, and someone is walking… and Isn’t a “Deer”. I wouldn’t shoot. I guess there are guys who don’t wear orange… and those other guys who hear a twig break in the brush and randomly...

    A Man Has to Know His Limitations!

    I wear blaze orange. And I’d say 90 % of hunters walk into the woods and hunt from field positions, not a bench. Like Men have been doing for ages upon ages. Do you have a Tv in the box blind… ha When it’s real cold I’ll bring a blind tent with me to keep wind off. Orange on exterior also...

    Definitely sight in on bench, develop load data, adjust sights and then……… Get off bench for field positions. No bench shooting in my woods.

    Swamped Barrel

    Ive got a Jaeger without a swamp barrel…. And It’s perfectly adequate. I almost bought a custom Flintlock Jaeger with a Rice swap barrel and a exquisite Black walnut Stock. The Swamp barrel is worth getting. However……….. It’s not “Needed”. I bought another excellent item along with the...

    WANTED Fast twist 50 cal barrel for T/C Hawken or GPR (Pedersoli)

    So RedRock Do you need a .50 Or would a fast twist .45 be of interest ?

    WANTED Fast twist 50 cal barrel for T/C Hawken or GPR (Pedersoli)

    If you could use a .45 I know a member here that has a SS.45 Gm Lrh for sale. The .45 is highly regarded. Yet I’m pretty sure a .50 is needed/wanted ?

    WANTED Fast twist 50 cal barrel for T/C Hawken or GPR (Pedersoli)

    That’s the idea Yet I’d tape it to my range finder If I could fling a 380+ chunk of lead out to 200,225 yards with accuracy- I’d be very pleased

    WANTED Fast twist 50 cal barrel for T/C Hawken or GPR (Pedersoli)

    Look up Idaho Ron and you will see his set ups are excellent for adjusting distance precisely. Others have shot at remarkable distances… with simply stock cond Renegades that have great sights. The rifles can do it… sighting is key. As of now I cast. I’m working on finding a good mold, with...

    Conical bullets best suited for Thompson Center shallow grooves 1/48" barrels.

    My 1:48 Pedersoli Double .58 shoots Either a Patched round ball or…. a Lee REAL Bullet equivalent in accuracy. Both very accurate. Both are 8 Bhn

    WANTED Fast twist 50 cal barrel for T/C Hawken or GPR (Pedersoli)

    Please elaborate on your Distance of anticipated shooting. Get a Green Mountain Lrh or Have Rice make ya one. Rice will make a slower twist for heavier chunk o lead. A heavy Conical will reach out there and deliver the goods to most of all North American game animal. A Certain unmentionable...
