    Which lot of 209 do I have?

    Nice of the printer to run out. Any one have a jug with this date? I imagine it’s either 40 or 41

    Why I'm sure I'll never buy from Cabelas/Redhead again

    Rant............G*?D%^outfit so downhill since $ass Pro took over. I ordered a Sig BDX scope for my 223 heavy barrel to pair with my binos. The outfit I bought from through Amazon says delivery in 7-9 days but after 3-4 days they haven't shipped. I happened to get a pop up from Cabelas with the...

    WANTED/ISO Mossberg 46 or variation bolt assembly

    I had a little .22 given to me. Reason, the bolt is missing. Guy knows I tinker with guns so he figured I should have it. Also need the front sight as it is broken, just a little stub sticking up. I think that Monkey Wards sold a gun that was the Mossy 46 but I don't know what model they called...

    A little test: BH 209 left in breech for 4 weeks

    So I was shooting my Optima Pistol a month ago and left a charge of 209 in it just in case I saw a pig on the way back from the cabin. I never swabbed between shots, so it should have been as dirty with powder residue as possible, and decided I would leave it dirty until I got a chance to shoot...

    I’m impressed with the Optima pistol

    Finally got a chance to get to the cabin. I boresighted at 40 yards and really got lucky with my first maiden shot. The photos are pretty self explanatory but after the first shot and clicking, my buddy had a bunch of fresh targets up at 100 for his 6.5 GAP and he suggested I try it. Glad I did...

    Took a week off

    Went up to my friend's house on the San Juans with a shooting bud of mine. The ocean conditions there are so much different than here, no big waves, no constant swell, I probably didn't need a Scopemine patch but I put one on just in case. Prawned for 4 days, came home with an ice chest full.

    "Fireproof" safe

    I see a forum member inquiring about a "fireproof" safe in the classifieds. I don't have one, probably never will as I would have to have multiple safes, I do have a locking steel cabinet for a few high dollar items, but for the most part that's it. Back to "FIREPROOF", a couple years back...

    Green Mountain Barrel Warning

    So I get on the GM website and find this: Notice to owners of our Black Powder “Drop-In” barrels: There is a possibility that the nipple on your rifle is defective. Metric threaded nipples were inadvertently installed in some barrels instead of the proper ¼-28 threaded nipples. The serial...

    Wild Turkey/Snow Goose Noodle Soup

    I breast my birds out and use the rest for a hearty noodle soup. I use a pressure cooker, 6-8 quart (I use an electric 8 qt., so much easier than stovetop, (hey, I'm getting lazy in my waning days)) Cut the carcass up and try and cover with water, I add about a teaspoon of cumin and a t. of...

    Opinions Please- Traditions

    While perusing Midway, they have this rifle- in LH. https://www.traditionsfirearms.com/product/pa-pellet-ultralight-select-hardwood-nitride-left-hand-model on clearance. Can't beat the price I imagine, for less than $400 to my door. What say you.

    Seating problems TC inline

    Was helping a buddy shooting his new TC .50. He was excited and frustrated. That kind of guy. Rem Kleenbore 209- 777 2f- Barnes TMZ with the supplied sabot. Crud ring buildup was something else after 2 shots even after wet swab- 99% alcohol and Ballistol 40/60 mix. After 3rd shot couldn't get...

    Just received my new '51 Navy from Midway

    My first BP pistol. Ordered on the 19th and it arrived on Brown this afternoon. That is the fastest Midway has ever shipped to me. What a pretty gun. Gritty hammer, but nice trigger. I'll take it apart and clean it up tomorrow. I have Pyro P for it and a couple of boxes of ball. Also might try...

    Process of learning

    My daughter's Wolf arrived last Monday finally. We went punching paper on Wednesday. Light loads of White Hots and PRB/.010 lubed patch for her to get used to the rifle. Chilly 38 degrees. We shot at 25 yards, I was hoping to instill some confidence in her as she has never shot MZ before. Heck...

    Left Hand sidelock?

    So I am a Southpaw, a Lefty, and left eye dominant.;) I am considering a sidelock as I like the looks of a traditional rifle. Most are made for you Rightys, but a few are Left Handed. And not many options are as available in the LH models, mainly barrel twist methinks. If I buy a traditional...

    Checking in from Kalifornia

    I just picked up a new Optima, and I hope gathered all the needed goodies to start this new endeavor. Thank you for letting me be here. I'm reading many of the posts on here, and I hope, am learning a lot. My FT partner has been shooting BP for years and with this Covid thing going around I...
