    22LR accuracy

    I have a CZ 457 American combo...22lr and 17HMR. The trigger is decent but not great IMO. I replaced it with a 1 lb pull Timney trigger and that was a major improvement. I have a Sinclair front machine rest I've had for over 30 years and it continues to serve me well. It's a heavy...

    Poll: How many muzzleloaders do you currently own?

    I only have 2...a CVA Accura V2 Plains Rifle and a CVA Paramount. There are others I'd like to have but I doubt that will happen. Too many other things that require my money.

    Newbie looking for best practices

    FFG is the norm for 50 cal and above but FFFG will work just fine in a 50. Just use a little less.

    Pigeons

    I've eaten them for many years. I used to shoot them in the hog lot at my grandparent's farm. Grandma made pot pies with the breast meat. Years later I shot them on the wing out of barns and out buildings with a shotgun. I like to use a small fillet knife and carve the breast meat away from the...

    I hope it's nothing serious

    Frankly, my desire to hunt has dwindled to nothing. I have lost access to all my old hunting grounds because people died and family sold the land to the "no huntin allowed" crowd. I refuse to hunt public land because the vast majority of people in Ohio that hunt private land hunt like they drive...

    Newbie looking for best practices

    I'd ditch the pellets for loose 777 fffg. It burns cleaner and leaves less crud ring than pellets. Personally I believe whatever they use to bond those pellets together is the problem. Crush ribs are the easiest loading sabots I've ever used and should help with that second shot. Another option...

    Heres how its going

    I'd be carrying a high capacity 12 gauge auto loader full of buck 0000 I'd be carrying a high capacity 12 gauge auto loader full of 00 buck. I have 0 tolerance for feral dogs having been attacked myself 46 years ago while rabbit hunting. Nice buck. He should eat just fine!

    White Hots

    Is this your 1st foray into the shooting sports? Why I ask is have you shot well with other guns? Centerfire or rimfire? If you have proven to yourself you can shoot then that rules you out here.

    White Hots

    It's not likely because those pellets and black powder substitutes are based on volume, not weight. If you'd research this issue you'd have found out that volume rules the day when it comes to BP and its substitutes. And since you're only shooting from short distances it matters even less. Let...

    Blackhorn issues

    If I were to be in the market for a new breech plug I would go with the SSK model with the replaceable vent liners. It's a much better design all the way around. You may or may not need an o ring to seal it. You'd have to try it out to see what works best. Here's a link to show you what I'm...

    Need to set up a CVA Optima V2

    Is your head swimming yet? The problem here is solutions are vast and almost all are viable. This thing is that loose when it comes to what works. Each rifle is different as to what it prefers but in my mind muzzleloaders are kind of like touring Harley Davidson motorcycles... how do you plan on...

    Twist rate and bullet length

    I saw that hog he got with that 225. I'm not going to be shooting much beyond 250 if that much so I really dont need the weight of the bigger bullets. I'll try the 275s just for shits and giggles but I agree with you on all your predictions. I guess a bonus with the 225 is a bit less recoil too.

    Twist rate and bullet length

    I guess I need to get ahold of Dennis and get some of those 225 and 250 slugs coming my way. I loved the way the 275 in a HLBS felt going down the bore of my Paramount. After fighting it with bullet to bore I have hope a sabot/bullet combo like we're talking about here will shoot out of this...

    Twist rate and bullet length

    How do you think the .402 Fury 275 in a LBS would do out of a 1:22 twist barrel? Should i try a lighter bullet with that slower twist rate...such as a 225 or a 250? Strictly for hunting and informal target work by the way.

    New BBL..What am I Seeing??

    Another that comes to mind, one that my brother owns and I have shot and was impressed with was the Traditions Vortek Strykerfire VAPR. Its available in both 45 cal (my personal choice) and 50 cal. Many on this forum would warn you away from Traditions citing poor customer service issues and I...
