What powder are you using?

After using ballistic turrets for quite a few years on all of my hunting rifles, one of the downsides is imo the need for 2 people to efficiently use the system in a timely manner. One person using the range finder and the shooter doing the adjustments. If the shooter has to use the rangefinder...

My son just left yesterday after a month at home. He owns his own trucking business and was in a huge accident in Tennessee (over 40 vehicles involved) and his truck is finally repaired. I can get back to some things I need to do to get ready for my trip to Wyoming with Hilltop and NE69. Going...

I agree with Jim, too small to be a fawn. Trying to figure what the black & white stripe is....only thing I can think of that has stripes like that is a Badger. Maybe a young Badger? Could be a domestic dog or cat.

H4831 sc is an awsome powder. My 25-06 loves it. Tried a lot of newer powers and nothing performs like the sc. One would think that H4831 would work as well as the sc, but it doesn't. sc means short cut and I guess the smaller grain size changes the burn rate enough that it a lot different than...

actaully they are floats shaped like alligator heads that are attached to my aerator blocks that my windmill pumps air into the pond, especially during the winter when it gets iced over. Just a little fun!

Look what showed up in my pond this morning, a couple of Gators! Storm must have sucked them up from some bayou and left me a present!

Just a side note.....I've been eating game shot with lead bullets all my 78 years and have suffered no ill effects....that I know ofo_O. The only reason they started to ban lead (other than waterfowl) ammo is trying to save the Condors.!

I have one left that I am saving for next month's deer hunting trip to Wyoming. I am going to get it smoked and finished just before I leave. Wrap it in foil and vacume seal it so I can reheat it for one of our dinners. I am going to check our local meat markets and see about any more on sale.

Your right. I do shoot a lot, but with other guns I don't hunt with! I really like to experiment with my .220 AO Swift. I play around with a lot of different powders....looking for that "one holer" load too. This is the best I've been able to do with it, but it's at 100 yds!

I try and get a load that has a velocity of 3000 to 3200 fps. I use a bullet wt that will keep it in that area. I'm like JimP, once I've found a load that my rifle likes and performs out to 400 to 500 yds, I rarely change. My 30-06 load was developed almost 50 years ago and I havn't changed a...

Monday it was 90, Tuesday 75 and last night it snowed and was down to 30. Raining now and only about 45. I turned on the pellet stove this morning....earliest I ever remember! Wonder what it's going to be like in a month in Wyoming when I'll be deer hunting?

WOW!!!

Just saw where Los Angeles had it hottest day ever yesterday....over 121! Also Death Valley had the hottest day ever recorded on easrth earlier this month....130. Might be something to this global warming. California is also burning up....again. Over 2 million acres and rising. So much smoke...

I too water at night. I have 9 stations and each waters 45 minutes. Starts at 9:00 PM.

We have until October 1 in our irrigation season. I'll probably turn everything off a day or so earlier. Should be leaving about then for Wyoming deer hunt, don't want the system with water in it when I'm gone.

Whats left of our garden will probably be ruined. Hope it stays above freezing (forecast says low of 33) so it doesn't raise hell with my irrigation equipment.

Whitehawk....why don't you amble over to our new member introductions and post a little about yourself. It is customary with new folks to the Forum.
