    I had this happen once at a club shoot, I never saw the hit marks on the target because of the other shooters... so while out at the gravel pit this past Monday with my brother, I decided to load a double PRB over 60gr of FFg. The first time, the target stand got knocked over, so I decided to...

    I can use either or.

    Well headed back up to the gravel pit and as luck would have it I could set up at 50 yards. I don't practice for hunting beyond that because we simply don't really get the opportunity for shots beyond 50 in our wooded areas. This first photo is quite common, the center tree is 39 yards from...

So I was getting 11 pounds...

I'm thankful this hasn't hit where I live, but I can see it happening down the road. California’s AB 3071 Lead Ammo Bill Risks Public Safety...
