    Goofy omegas

    Would something like a Federal B.O.R. lock work? Copper with a sub-base attached, like a powerbelt but better...

    Best short range deer gun (inside 150 yards)

    Busta, I am not trying to hijack this thread in any way but I have a CVA TD in .350 that I think should shoot better. How/what adjustments did you make to the forearm?

    The copper jacketed 45cal "conical"

    I have multiple different sabots to try for this but I guess my question is how much BH209 does it take in a .50 to get around the 1600fps? I am currently shooting around 115gr by volume and have considered backing it down a bit to around like 90ish grains... I was also considering going to...

    The copper jacketed 45cal "conical"

    I'm assuming that these numbers are being run for bare bore in a .45... does anyone have any idea what powder measurement in BH209 it would take for a .50 with sabots? (BTW I shoot an Encore .50, if that makes a difference?) I ask this because as I get older I am more and more interested I am...

    The gun show or ice fishing?

    I haven't been to a gun show in about 10 years but I will be going to "Outdoorama" or whatever it's called these days at Novi next weekend. I want to stop at the Kuiu booth to check out their gear. I need a mild weather outfit for hunting

    230g Gold Dot -- 45 Caliber

    I'm more along the lines of liking 2 holes in the animal. Kind of disappointing cause the 250gr did well and the 300gr did phenomenal. Is this gold dot not bonded like the others?

    Rust at my QLA

    Just figured that I would give an update on my situation. I ordered a gallon of the Evapo Rust to give this a try... well I ran a couple patches through the barrel to remove the oil to give it the best opportunity to work. The rust that I have is where the QLA and rifling meet and a little down...

    Rust at my QLA

    I will order a quart of the Evapo rust and give it a try. If that doesn't work I will try the steel wool/JB bore paste. Thanks for the suggestions

    Encore 209x50 Load Question

    I'm in pretty much the same boat as everyone else... 80gr. by weight and 285gr Barnes spitfire boat-tail... It's lights out with that load. I've been using it for about 10 years now.

    Rust at my QLA

    Does the bore brush NEED to be a nylon brush or is that just recommended? I have always used brass brushes. I believe that I have the steel wool already and I know I have JB bore paste so I'll give this a try. Thanks guys...

    Rust at my QLA

    I am looking for help in removing rust at about the QLA of my stainless Encore. I had a little bit before last year but it has gotten worse recently. Before it just felt like a rougher spot and didn't really effect anything. This year I still maintained my normal accuracy but at times it...

    Hornady FTX 325 - Ballistic Gel Results

    Encore: the stated speed on the box is 2200fps but I believe that is with like a 24" barrel. I was shooting it out of my 18" ar. My guess would be 1900-2000fps

    Hornady FTX 325 - Ballistic Gel Results

    Hornady uses a 250gr. FTX for their .450 Bushmaster load. It was super accurate for me but they did not hold up when hitting deer within 50 yards.

    Scorpion White Lightning

    Not what I was really hoping for. It looks like it cast the jacket and A BUNCH of weight without really expanding. I had higher hopes for this bullet. Thanks again for testing it Ron.

    300g PT Gold

    The bullets worked pretty well but like someone else said not as well as a Speer. I REALLY wish that Speer would make a "pointy" bullet with a good bc. I think that would be the Holy Grail. They already make great bullets that are cheap, but not cheaply made...

    300g PT Gold
