I have been staying in North Carolina helping a military son and his family, finally got to sneak away with my son,actually two sons, and oldest grandson to a shooting range this weekend. I had put together a custom Creedmoor for my youngest military son about 10 years ago and it's just been...

This is a short review and comment on two fast twists 50 caliber barrels, this review and commentary is in no way a recommendation of powder charges or methods to be used by others and at the same time I believe these charges and bullets and methods to be safe. Equipment used during test...

Spent the afternoon shooting the 22 twist 50 cal Douglas Barrel started out with some 275 grain furies over 39 grains of sr4759 in the old can which it shot good but a couple of shots during the 10 or 11 I shot that felt weak and they were out of the group I switched to 4198 again just looking...

The most amazing machine, and I will call it that because I have my own language and the freedom to use it,the most important part of the law of muzzleloading science load,57 gr of 4198 ether letter. I will go as far as to say I think it's one of the most useful additions to Modern muzzleloading...

This is a Pitman 40 cal in the light blue 250 grain bullet, I have not shot his 250 in this Barrel I have shot his 225 grain and the light blue in many rifles and had success,, but the 250 Pitman is giving me a little bit of finicky symptoms in others,, however this 18 twist Brux Barrel really...

As I read online wether on Modern Muzzleloader or other websites related to hunting and muzzleloading I often note the comments and most of them with criticism or disdain of modern hunting techniques by that I mean trail cams ,drones ,feeders usually those who are critical of these techniques...

I have learned stubbornly a lot more about cut rifle versus button rifle over the last few years, from a lot of centerfire experience I was very aware of the accuracy potential of both, with most of the more accurate barrels I had experience with being cut rifle, I had some wonderful semi-custom...

If it's not obvious to everyone I'm a big Fury bullet fan, I like to shoot a lot of other bullets but I have more constant success with Fury bullets than I do anything else and not to mention I like the owner Dennis,, I remember four or five years ago being so impressed with the basic star tip...

Starting to shoot a new Woodman arms Omega Barrel today I ordered this Barrel a while back specifically to test Groove depth in particular a little bit shallower, I asked myself and maybe others too and maybe you wonder, would a shallower Groove obturate quicker , would it produce more velocity...

I wanted to pause and thank modern muzzle loading ,I appreciate the avenue of communication it gives me with one of the passions in my life.

Been so busy working around my place, got a chance to shoot some today bill at Northern Precision sent me some of his 40 cal bullets to experiment with some, this is a 240 grain lead tip non-bonded knurled up to around 406 which is a little too much for me however they're shooting fairly well...

One thing I was reminded of this week and maybe I don't consider it enough coming from a centerfire background where I worried about an action being blueprinted, about neck tension, about bullet jump ,about primers, about nodes up and down the powder load. When a good bullet gets the right...

Not focusing on a group so much just checking velocities accuracy potential is looking good,,, the bonded version of year ago performed very well in Ron's bullet test the pinpoint I remember just punched through and did not expand that's why I had asked and see if we could get that version...

Shilen will build a barrel nut barrel,, they will not install a breach plug for someone, I noticed too that they also cut a 450-457, which I really like, I asked them if they would cut me a select stainless steel in a 450-457 and set it up for a barrel nut Howa short action, which they did ,it's...
