    New Endeavor

Since I will be going on a feral pig hunt shortly there after I would like to inquire of the other Endeavor owners if it has...

I shot a 5 shot group at 100yds with 120 gr BH the first two shots with a bit of oil burning out of the barrel were a bit right the next 3 made a decent group right at 1.5 inches. I changed the load...

    The Shock Wave or the SST

    I always thought they were the same; but I just read a report on them by MAX that says they not only shoot different but the ballistic jell test shows the SST holding together as good as the bonded SW in the 250 gr bullets. Now I always used the shock wave and I would like to know what the...

    Smokeless or not

    I was just thinking what I might get when I realized that with 1/2 inch groups with several loads and the added velocity with no wipeing between shots and no worry about corrosive powder I already have everything I was going to switch to smokeless for. Black Horn 209 does every thing except work...

    Rifle most suited to BH209,your opinion

    There are several things we might consider besides the ignition, like how much blow back you get because even if its not corrosive we end up cleaning it out. I am not sure how deeply accuracy enters into it as every thing I have tried it in has had a number of very accurate loads my average...
