So here‘s one you guys will like. My poor-shooting neighbor just sent me an email telling me that when he went hunting today, and before he got in his stand, he walked up to a deer trail coming off the back of our property, staying just on his side of the line, and left a drag trail from it to...

Unfortunately, tracking a wounded animal on someone else’s property without permission is not hunting, it’s trespassing. I don’t want to see you get in trouble with the law for you, or your family. That said, for a while, when we had more frequent run ins with hound hunters, we used to hear...

I’m glad it worked out for you, and I’m with you on their customer service. They replied to a customer inquiry email I sent them about some parts not sold on their website, and sent me the parts a week later, free of charge. Great customer service, and I wouldn’t change a thing about my Accura...

It would be a shame to shoot a deer and lose it to the next property. That said, there is always another side to every story. All of my neighbors hunt our property line, because they kill everything moving and know I am selective, that I have food plots, and that my acreage is triple theirs in...

The Bible tells us Christ will return on a horse, which proves there are animals in Heaven. That said, if a horse is there, dogs have to be, as no animal deserves to be there more than a faithful dog.

I have two CVA Scout V2 rifles (one in .44 mag/ 445 SuperMag and one in 444 Marlin). They are identical (same finish, same scope, same sling, same hardware). The only way to tell them apart is looking at the laser etched caliber on the barrel; I thought I had staged them in my gun cabinet so...

Just some bullet corn for you guys. The all copper bullet is a Cutting Edge Bullets 250 grain Maximus shot from the subject-titled rifle, moving at 2,441 fps. The other bullet is a Swift A Frame 280 grain out of the same rifle, moving at 2,057 fps. The Maximus’ base diameter is what one would...

Thanks a million Fullbore!

Gents, can any of you give me an idea of how shiny/reflective the SSK plug is? Is it the same as the OEM plug in this regard? Thanks!

I’m sorry to hear they did not work out for you, and I know the frustration you must have felt, believe me. When I harvested the doe I mentioned in my earlier post, with the Federal Trophy Copper 300 grain slugs, I had a similarly frustrating experience. I shot her ~40 yards broadside, she...

I can’t speak to trajectory, but I can speak to the on target lethality of the Knight Bloodlines. I’ve taken deer with three types of muzzleloader bullets: 1) Barnes TEZ 250 grain 2) Barnes MZ Expander (250 grain) and 3) Knight Bloodlines (220/250/275 grain). I also harvested a doe this past...

I have investigated/interviewed/interrogated/polygraphed many, many types of offenders in my time, and I can say with great certainty that this type of an offender rarely changes his stripes. Recidivism rates for folks like these are extremely high, and their offenses typically increase in...

I would like to be shooting deer with them, but the season doesn’t come back in until November, so the antlerless jugs o’ water will have to suffice until then! This will be the first year to use the 44 for deer.

Just some additional pics for reference, scale, and comparison…same order as listed in posts. I shot the Buffalo Bore 445 SuperMag with the 240 grain XTP bullets, but there wasn’t much to take pictures of. The bullet disintegrated after passing through one 1 gallon jug, and blowing up (but not...

This is the Doubletap Ammo 44 mag with 240 grain Speer JSP bullet load mentioned above. At 25 yards, it went through two 1 gallon jugs of water, two 2.5 gallon jugs widthwise, and was found on the offside of a third 2.5 gallon jug (widthwise). It expanded to 0.50” and weighed 172 grains. This...

This is the Buffalo Bore 44 mag with 270 grain Speer JSP bullet load mentioned above. At 25 yards, it went through five 1 gallon jugs of water, and was found in a sixth jug. It expanded to 0.54” and weighed 192 grains. MTF…

This is the Underwood Ammo 44 mag with 240 grain XTP bullet load mentioned above. At 25 yards, it went through three 1 gallon jugs of water, and was found in a fourth jug. It expanded to 0.80” and weighed 197 grains. MTF…

I did some shooting today, and here are some notes/photos for this interested. This is the Federal Swift 280 grain load mentioned above. At 25 yards, it went through two 1 gallon jugs of water, and one 2.5 gallon jug lengthwise; I found the bullet on the ground next to the last jug. It...

I have two CVA Scouts that were originally chambered for 44 mag. One is now chambered for 444 Marlin, while the other is also chambered for 445 SuperMag. I have had some other work done to the rifles (i.e.new recoil pads, NP3 finishing). I have found if you are using the OEM stocks, taking...

Good to know, thank you. I’ve read that many folks swear by the WWB JSP on deer, I just never considered it based on the velocity numbers I’ve seen associated with it out of a rifle...NOT THAT VELOCITY is the be all end all of terminal performance. I don’t want to offend anyone or assert that...
