    What is the length of your 5/8 18 tpi breechplug?

    The reason for asking is this. I have a NEF Huntsman with a 5/8 breechplug and as some of you may know, the only aftermarket plug available is from Cecil at PR Bullets. I purchased 1 of these a couple of years ago. While it is a nicely made plug, it is already getting some pretty significant...

    Hernia surgery, well crap!

    Well I am scheduled for hernia surgery on Tuesday. Not what I want to do at all. Not only is there a good possibility of missing muzzleloader season this year but, most importantly I am most likely gonna miss the end of my daughter's high school cross country season. Which will most likely...

    Knight Mountaineer and Bh209

    I am sure it has been covered here but I can't find it for certain. Question is, if someone buys a brand new Mountaineer bare primer ignition, will it ignite Bh209 reliably without any modifications? Just trying to find the information so that I can let my boss know because I think he is...

    Primers sticking in Metrics Unlimited breechplug.

    So for the first few years I didn't have any issues with primers sticking, but the last couple of years primers will stick after firing a load. After reading and learning different things here, I am questioning if maybe the flash hole has eroded too much causing excessive back pressure...

    Custom made breechplug?

    Hey guys, I have a question. Would a grade 8 bolt be safe to make a breechplug out of? The reason I ask is because I have access to a lathe and a cnc machine, along with people who have the knowledge to operate them.

    GT 255gr RNFP bullet?

    Anyone know if this round nose flat point lead bullet would expand good without fragmentation? Assuming average muzzle velocity. The reason I ask is because it looked like during Ron's test on the 305gr hollow point, that bullet started to fragment. Was thinking that maybe the round nose flat...

    Thoughts on cheaper rangefinders?

    I would like to get a rangefinder but, don't really want to spend more than $100 - $130. With that being said I was looking on Amazon and found some under $100. These are the ones that I found: Tidewe 700Y LCD - $79.99 Wosports 800Y - $74.99 Aofar HX-700N - $69.99 Bijia - $79.99 Gogogo...

    270gr DCSP 100 yard expansion

    Had a few of these left, so I thought I would test one at 100yd for expansion. Again I say I am not trying to hijack Ron's bullet tests. To be honest I am only interested in testing the bullets that I either have used or will consider using. It is because of this forum and the information...

    240gr xtp mag 100yd bullet expansion test

    I am not trying to hijack Ron's bullet tests because I completely respect the tests that he does. I am in covid quarantine and wanted to try something. So anyway here is the setup: ¼ inch plywood with a piece of cardboard taped on the front. Front water jug was filled with bread dough (thought...

    420gr No Excuses

    Anyone use this bullet in a CVA Wolf? A friend of mine has a CVA Wolf and is trying to find a load to use that is easy to load. I have some of the 420gr No Excuses that he could try if anyone thought it would be worth trying. He is a young man in high school and doesn't have a lot of money to...

    Changed my bullet choice.

    I had originally planned on using Cheapshots this year. Then decided to try the 270 Deep Curl again. After shooting targets for the last two weeks, I started getting more consistent groups and confidence with them. Glad I did because. Today is opening day of firearms season here in Illinois and...

    TC Cheapshots and Traditions Plinkers

    I bought some of these this year. Correct me if I am wrong but I think these are the same bullet with different sabots. Any reason I shouldn't use these for hunting deer at ranges 100 yrds or less? The cheapshots seem to load and shoot really well once I swap the sabots for a 3-petal ez. The...

    Shooting form question?

    New guy here. Question is when shooting for groups do you hold the forearm snug or just let it rest in a sandbag or cushion? The reason I ask is because this one thing I really never gave much thought to and therefore I think I may not be very consistent at. Thanks for any replies.
