    Thoughts after my first range session in 3 months

    I finally got an opportunity to shoot some last week after. I loaded my Bestill .45 Omega with the proper charge of IMR4198, veggie wad and Fury 275 Star Tip 2 and then proceeded to put my first 5 shots with a clean, cold barrel through a single jagged hole at 100 yd. Great way to start. My...

    New old Omega

    A year ago, I took delivery of a Bestill custom ,45 Omega. Just a fantastic rifle. I like it so much, I decided to pick up another Omega trigger/action to have on hand for another custom build in the future. I found a blued Omega barrel with the stainless trigger action on eBay for a really good...

    A Good Morning

    I filled 2 more tags last Thursday, which was the first day of the 2nd half of our firearm deer season. The buck, a large bodied 4 point was taken at 90 yd and the little doe at 70 yd about 5 minutes later. I gave the doe every chance to walk away but when she came right at me, I decided she was...

    Successful firearm opener in Central Illinois

    Our crew of 5 had a pretty good morning last Friday on our firearm whitetail season opener. 4 of us had killed by 8:00 am. I ended up taking a pretty weird cull buck. It weighed about 155-160 field dressed and had a very long thin snout and a weird, deformed rack. I was shooting my Bestill...

    Barrel on my MK-85

    In a discussion on another sight, someone claimed that my MK-85 had to have a GM barrel on it. From everything I have read, and seen, I am 95% certain it has a Wiseman barrel. I don't remember what year I purchased it but I bought it new, a Predator model with the stainless barrel and black...

    I have a stainless MK-85, with a Wiseman barrel and Timney trigger, that I purchased new when they were first introduced.

    Bestill .45 Brux/Omega & Fury ,45 275 gr FAT

    I got a little time today to shoot my Bestill .45 Brux/Omega and fine tune the scope in preparation for our firearm deer season this Friday. I set up at 100 yd, using the Fury .45 275 gr FAT bullet and 60 gr IMR 4198 with a .463"x .060" veggIe wad over the powder. I had a 7 mph crosswind from my...

    Fury .452 275 gr Star Tip MZ 2

    Being a fan of Fury Bullets, I recently ordered some of Dennis's .452 275 gr Star Tip MZ 2 bullets. They are an improved replacement for the .452 275 gr FAT bullet which has been discontinued. This morning I had a chance to try them in my .45 McRem. I first fouled the barrel using 5 shots at 100...

    Brux/Omega & Fury 275 FAT

    I finally got some time to do some more shooting & bullet testing with my Brux/Omega built by Jeff Fisk. The Fury 275 gn FAT looks like a winner. 6 shots at 100 yds. I actually smooth sized the bullets a bit small and they loaded pretty easily. If I size them up a bit, I can probably shrink the...

    Boyds Stock for MK85

    I have a 50 cal Knight MK85 with a stainless barrel and black composite stock that I bought when they first came out. I would like to put a Boyds stock on it but Boy's doesn't list a MK85 specific stock. They do have stocks for an American Knight. A search of this site came up with a couple of...

    New to me TC Omega

    I recently purchased a used TC Omega as a donor rifle for a custom build next year by Jeff Fisk of BeStill Creations. I had already bought a Boyds stock to use for the build and after I put the barrel/action into the new stock, it looked so good, I had to shoot it. Well, now I'm going to have...

    Shimming a CVA firing pin bushing

    I have 3 current model CVA rifles. I had read the past posts about shimming the firing pin bushing for a slight primer crush in order to stop blowback around the primer, however, because of pure laziness, I just used o-rings in the primer pocket. It was easy to do and it worked. I finally got...

    Terminal Performance of Parker Jacketed Hyda-Con?

    Has anyone had any experience with these? I picked up a bunch of 275 gn Traditions T-Shocks from Natchez on a closeout for dirt cheap. It's my understanding they are just rebranded Parker Jacketed Hyda- cons. I shot some today from my Accura MR and below is my first 100 yd target of 5 shots with...
