Knurling bullets sounds interesting. Might give it a try with some bullets I have that do not group well just for fun.

Interesting concept about indexing your sabots so one land is solid on each petal. Never heard that before.

I like pro ears gold. I now have two pairs: one from m Sportsmans warehouse and the other from Ebay. I will not shoot without them. They do not interfere with my cheek weld even though I wear glasses. I have tried plugs but just do not like them in my ear for extended periods of time. You can...

Really are some cannons pictured here. I don't use a 12g anymore.To bulky and hard kicking. I now use a 20g TC encore and shoot TSS. Killed two very nice birds this past Spring and passed on a couple Jakes.

I am very partial to the Thompson Center Pro hunter. I get respectable groups to 300 yards although I only shoot game out to 200. Using Bh 209 has been a game changer for me and my TC. My TC is sub Moa at 100 and a little over at 200 which is mainly my fault as it will hold moa with a lead sled...

Like the lemon oil suggestion. I will try it as I prefer wooden stocks but never heard about apply lemon oil to the inside. Thanks

Very scary. I have been shooting for a long time and never had a gun blow up. Of course my relatives taught me right and I have taken several gun safety classes. As stated he was probably shooting smokeless and did not measure correctly. I was also curious about the guy shooting off the bench...

Sorry, could not even guess at the velocity when I was shooting the Barns. At the time I was shooting a Knight MK85 with two pellets of Pyrodex and a musket cap conversion. I may not have had near the velocity that Modern inlines generate with newer powders and ignition systems. Currently shoot...

Late replying to this post but I shoot the ultimate slam. It is a fantastic scope and I have used it frequently and in extreme conditions with no issues. I agree the eye relief may be a bit close for some. I have been kissed by the scope a couple of times. This is probably because I really...

Great post! I now know all about the QLA. I had read previously about the QLA but never really understood what the issues were. I bought my TC Pro Hunter several years ago and tuned it up to shoot sub MOA. Really glad my rifle was bored correctly as I never had a clue the QLA could cause...

Thanks guys for the updated info. I guess what I was looking for is the Black Mag - but it does not do me much good if it is discontinued. I have been using BH 209 in my TC Pro Hunter and was hoping there might be a similar powder that could be used in a MK. I originally used Pyrodex which was...

Is there a new powder available to shoot in an old MK - 85 that is similar to BH 209? I want to shoot my MK again but do not want to go back to Pyrodex. I have heard that there is another powder but have not been able to get any information on it. If I remember correctly I believe someone said...

Overview of Virginia Sunday hunting bill: Hunting on Sundays Law Goes Through Normal Regulation Amendment Process – Law Becomes Effective on July 1, 2014 Up Date On February 18, 2014, HB1237, “Hunting on Sundays” passed through the House of Delegates by a 71-27 vote and was then passed by the...

All I appreciate the feed back and Jims I think you summed up the 243 perfectly. I am going with the reg 243.

Virginia's Sunday hunting bill only requires the governors' signature to become law and he says he will sign. I am really excited - unfortunately I may be relocating out of state shortly - sometimes you just can not win.

That youngster you trained will probably remember your advice for the rest of his life - Good Show! I agree that proper gun care is important. I am the type of person that keeps a gun that shoots well literally for decades. My 7mm has been in my possession for 30 years. Throat is rather worn...

Not meaning to be disrespectful but, even within your post there's enough conflict to consider it no better than a "good" bullet and mostly for being accurate. I'm a little confused and so may the OP but, if it performs "well at close range out to 250 yards", yet it could still "fragment under...

Thanks for the info on the 243 - I would probably like the regular 243 better anyway. Had one once but made the mistake of trading it off. Good advice on wiping down your rifle once it gets wet. I do that but have been concerned about the change in POI should I remove the action from the stock...

In rereading this post I am amazed at the excellent information provided. I have been shooting muzzle loaders since the 70's and wish I had such a rich source of information as provided in this forum when I first started. Whenever I had a problem I just figured it out with the help of a buddy -...

Happy is good and it sounds like you had fun! :D
