Some of you may recall TG in PA. He did a great deal of data collection on SMLs, primarily based on the Sav MLII. I was given his binders. I have about 10 of them in a 1x1x1 foot box. I think a lot of the load data may be online or on Doug's. I would like to forward it to...

I have a Ruger No. 1. Shot it last year, cleaned it and put it away without any issues. Today I went to open the breech with the under lever and it would barely move and went down really not at all. The safety also will not engage to off or fire. Any thoughts? I could...

I had not bought rifle powder for my SML in quite awhile. Surprised with tax it was $57 a pound.

Anyone still taking a Savage ventliner BP and installing the hardened carbide bushing instead? If so could one supply contact information etc. Thanks

I was not drinking when I heard this. Yesterday and today in my woods I heard what sounded similar to an elk bugle. The problem is here in Ohio there are no free ranging elk. Really have no idea what it was. Anyone familiar with any animal that makes a similar sound here in...

No photos but would like to post some if I can get cameras set up. Would like to have game cameras that would send me photos from my farm about 45 miles away. Would put in the woods and one on the buildings. Cell phone reception there is not always good. Would like brand...

Not really a hunting story as such. But deer hunters here may have an idea. I went to my farm yesterday and as I pulled off the lane towards one of my buildings I saw a buck deer laying about 10 feet from one corner of it. He was alive but could not get up. The building is...

I think someone posted about using the Harbor Freight 20 piece wire brush set to use with their muzzleloader. I have the same but cannot find the needed extension that will give enough length to reach the entire length of the barrel. Does anyone know the part number for the same? Thanks

I saw a hen turkey and her 4 or 5 young ones today in Ohio. They were smaller than an adult quail. For August I would have thought they would have been bigger. Perhaps the first set of eggs got discovered and eaten and she had to start over.

I saw a hen turkey with 4 or 5 of her young today. They were smaller than an adult quail. I thought they would be larger than that in Ohio by August. Maybe her first eggs gotten eaten by a racoon.

I just saw that nearly 200,000 deer were taken this last season. Roughly equal between bow kill and firearms. It appears the largest scoring deer were taken with bows. That might make sense in that the bow season is about 4 months long and starts earlier. The firearm seasons...

I just read where CVA has a new .40 ML. Said it is faster than a .300 Win Mag. I think around 2850 fps. Uses a skirted type bullet it appears.

Anyone use the bonded 240 grain .40 Fury bullets on deer? How did they perform and is it a lung or high shoulder bullet?

I have a Ruger No. 1 with a .45 SML barrel. The first 4.5 inches at 1.2 inch diameter. I have a Rem 700 ml with a .45 SML barrel with a 1.2 inch dia barrel for the first 4 inches. I would like to shoot a 290 TEZ sabotless with a wad out of the Ruger. It fits well and I have a...

I have a Thompson Center Venture II in .350 Legend. The Win 180 power point cartridges upon firing leaves a fair amount of carbon streaking down the case nearly to the base. The Hornadys come out clean but are not quite as accurate. Both are about 1.5 MOA but for a 125 yard deer...

I just saw where there may have been a group at 400 yards under 1 inch at a KY SML shoot over the weekend. Amazing how some of these shoot.

That is the name of their new optic. Interesting.

Anyone used them with smokeless powder in their SMLs? Ask because I noticed on the package not to use them with smokeless. Know the reasons for the same?

A good article and photos in the April 2020 issue of Guns and Ammo on the differences in the two.

I have as the title says a CVA Scout V2 45-70. I have both Starline brass and Hornady brass. I would like to load Hornady 250 grain monoflex bullets with H4198 bullets. Would like to know the standard powder weight amount and the maximum one would use in both cases. The Starlines...
