    Practice for Squirrel Head Shots

    Practice for Squirrel Head Shots

    Question about .32 cal....

    I have two pecatonica southern mountain rifles. A 45cal and 32cal, I would advise you to use a 3/4" barrel with the 32cal.much lighter and hangs just right for offhand shots. Ed rayl makes a dandy 42" 3/4" 32cal. 1 in 70 twist barrel.The 3/4 barrel sure makes a sleek looking long rifle. I...

    Big mistake?

    My hunting pardner is building a 62cal. smoothie. When he drilled the center underlug he drilled the bottom of the barrel. There is .073 barrel thickness left.It is 23 1/2 inches from the breech.What do you guys think is it safe to shoot or not? It is a Ed rayl barrel.

    Coyote Capper

    I use bait. Roadkill deer work great. Cut them open to bleed out.If you have a slaughter house nearby ask them for a 5 gallon bucket of blood. Pour on the roadkill and ground around it. I use a 45cal. most for coyotes. With bait the shots will usually be 40 to 60 yards.
