Buds seems to be one of the most successful online & face to face gun stores. Probably because they keep their margins while keeping low prices and a high volume of sales. I just think that in my case they opted to put profit over customer service and saw me as a squeaky wheel.. instead of...

The rifling (in the barrel to stabilize 45LC... not to stabilize shot shells) causes the shot/wad to spin. When it leaves he barrel it spreads due to the spin. That is why you aren't getting many pellets to group even close in... like even at 20 yds. I bet with #8's or #9 lead its...

I hunt turkey with my Ithaca M87 12ga with a 20in barrel. Super light (even compared to 20s, 28s, and 410) and great to carry all day. Who wants to absorb 2oz of recoil when 1-1/8 or 1-1/4oz of lead will do fine if you call them inside if 40 yds?

I'm glad he revived it and gave it a bump.

I Overall I agree. My other dig on Michigan deer regs are that they: 1: seem to treat hunters as if we are poachers who have to prove were aren't (the no guns in the woods 1-14Nov rule comes to mind a primary indicator here) 2: They are built to generate income... in most other states I've...

I didn't get an invite.... But I found out about the survey and googled it I asked for a early muzzleloader season 1-14 November... And asked that they get rid of physical tags in favor of just just having blanks to fill with game kills (like in most other states I've hunted). Also suggested...

Mr. Tom Highest respect for you. However, I believe that all common alloys of Bismuth used for shot are softer than steel. Thus seeing they are more dense and softer than steel, most will regard them as a superior substitute for lead in shot guns when compared to steel. However Most...

I'm not a shotgun expert... But I do recall when non toxic was first mandated for waterfowl... And that guys ruined barrels and chokes shooting steel through them because the shot poked a hole through the wad and was hard enough to damage the Barrel/choke. So, hard shot like TSS damaging...

Don't want to hijack a thread... But... 🤔I found a great deal at buds website. So I bought it. They canceled my order & Relisted the gun for about $100 more, and told me if I really wanted it to buy it, buy it off the new listing! 😑 When I called and insisted they honor the original...

I use lead for turkey.... Because I can and I get close enough or I don't shoot. But for waterfowl where non toxic is required... I've started shooting Boss (copper plated bismuth) and Kent Bismuth loads... TSS is better... But I'm not convinced the huge price increase makes it worth it to...

To me, my paramount desire is to encourage the ethical, effective, 'humane', legal harvesting of game in order to effect conservation and proper management of our wildlife. The truth is most government conservation policy makers, loath hunters, and at best begrudgingly accept that we hunters...

Nope. I do not. However it's not hard to understand inflation. Inflation is nothing more than an increase in the currency supply. Rising prices are a symptom of inflation. Milton Friedman (Nobel prize winner... had a show on public TV in the 70s) is a great educator for the common man on...

I don't think the rising prices ans shortage in powder is a greed conspiracy : https://www.modernmuzzleloader.com/threads/some-insight-into-powder-prices.59576/ Its supply and demand (see above) . Then when that is factored against political and finacial polices that foster inflation...

I sell mmp sabots here: https://www.badgerridgeind.com/store/p17/MMPSabot.html In my experimentation I found black mmp to work best in my 50cal rifles. $7.34 for a bag of 50 (plus shipping starts at 7.49). Add more than one bag and the shipping stays at 7.49 for quite a few bags. Yours...

My tried and true recipe has worked well for 20+ years: MMP black sabots 300 gr or 250gr hornady XTP .452 80 to 100gr by volume of powder depending on what exactly the rifle (700 MLS) shoots best. Never had one shoot best over 100 gr by volume. When I do my part (heart lung shots) deer don't...

How is anything said above politics? Defending basic, enumerated rights is not politics. Believing that it is, says more about the person that holds such an opinion than anyone wishing to defend these basic rights.

Boss is a premium shotshell producer here in Michigan. As I shoot up my stock of nontoxic (steel) I'm replacing it with Boss. I find their copper plated bismuth patterns well and has worked well for me at distance. That said they like to stay in touch with their customers and shoot...

With 168 gr SMK's we always loaded H4895 or AA2495 (nearly identical powders) in my National Match M1 Garand I shot as a teen (before I got an M-14/M1A). That was a DCM rifle loaned to the state's Jr rifle program, and with our pet load it shot around 3/4 inch at 100 yds off the bench... 10...

Yup some 458 bullets are made for muzzleloader velocities... And many are made for dangerous game in 'elephant gun' cartridges... Hence my word of caution and noted that there are exceptions. But you may note that the aforementioned 45-70 started out with lead bullets... Just like I...
