    Ammunition shortage

    Back when California was working on passing their new laws on purchasing ammo I read a article about "gun control" The biggest thing about any restrictions on purchasing was about ammo. They said that most legislatures will shy away from trying to ban firearms due to our constitution and the...

    I hated it when S&W bought TC in 2007 and decided to get rid of a lot of the muzzle loader products that they had.

    Oh yea? You don't know me, I lost 2 sets. Perhaps it is the onset of old age. I found them later right were they were suppose to be.

    Do you know that on the older double cut Ford keys that you can use the same key for two different vehicles? All you need to do is to just cut one side of key for each vehicle.

    Warmest socks or boots for cold weather sits

    If I was sitting in a tree and it was that cold I might even take my boots off and put on some insulated booties where my toes could move around a little instead of being cramped inside of a pair of boots.

    Ammunition shortage

    The shortage started the beginning of summer when the riots started and have just carried through to now. And with Biden being elected it is just going to get worse. I had a friend visiting from Texas over the weekend and he commented on not being able to find 41 mag rounds. I happened to...

    54 Cal Muzzleloader Bullet

    You should be good then with a little bit heaver bullet. But you might have to tweek it a little bit to get them to a great group. But that is the problem with shooting with open sights, a 3" group is equal to a sub moa group with a scope on a rifle.

    Any tips or tricks to replacing stuck blades in an outdoor edge knife?

    The big thing is not to let the knife get covered with blood and fat. At least wipe it down after you use it and if you have water available a quick wipe down with a wet rag will help a lot.

    54 Cal Muzzleloader Bullet

    I can't remember seeing a hollow point mold, I have seen them for pistol rounds but not rifle that I can remember. I know that the last deer that I shot with my .54 I blew out half of his rib cage on the off side. This was with the 430 grain maxi ball. I was surprised when he made it about...

    54 Cal Muzzleloader Bullet

    If you would like I could ship you some of the ones that I cast and then you can try them out to see how your rifle shoots them if you don't want to jump right into casting them yourself. The ones that I have don't look too pretty since it has been a while since I have cast any but I can...

    54 Cal Muzzleloader Bullet

    Lyman has a small selection of molds. I usually do a search for ".54 caliber bullet molds" A lot of the results that come up will only be for .50 caliber but if you weed through them you can find some different .54 ones. Here is a .54 plains bullet, I know that the picture says .45 but if...
