    Looking for some new Bars/Mid day snacks to replace Clif bars. What's your fave?

    Clif bars (crunchy PB is my go to) have always been a staple for my mid-day foods on western hunts, but after realizing they're packed full of soy products I'm trying to find some better alternatives. Looking for something that is similar in macros/calories and is durable, but with better...

    WTS 35 Whelen brass, new production, old stock, Remington

    Found a deal on a case of new Remington headstamp 35 Whelen brass, but it is way more than I need. Looking to sell off about 300 pieces or so. If you're a 35 Whelen shooter, you know as well as I do there hasn't been any new brass readily available on the market for some time now, so this is a...

    I made an oopsy

    So yesterday I converted about 85 new 223 cases to 300 Blackout. Then to get the case lube off I washed them and stuck them in the oven at 170F on a baking sheet to dry thoroughly. Then I forgot about them....for something like 8-9 hours. At that low temp, I'm fairly confident there is no...

    Barnes TTSX vs TSX in 5.56 AR

    Hi All, I am putting together a new AR in 5.56 that will mostly be a SHTF gun, but I also might use it for some deer and pig hunting, or maybe even have my girlfriend use it for antelope.

    Florida Gulf Coast Hogs

    Anyone know some good areas or outfitters for hog hunting around the Tampa/Clearwater area? My parents recently got a condo in the area, so I can use that as a hog camp of sorts if I can find a good place to go. I'd like the ability to hunt at night too with NV as well as the daytime. Any...

    Any success in Utah 17A: Wasatch West?

    Just got home from Utah this week from their general firearms season for mulies. My brother lives in SLC and I took him on his first ever big game hunt. I was not expecting it to be as difficult a hunt as it was though. I'm grew up in PA, and there the opening day of deer season is insane...

    McGowen barrels

    Has anyone ordered and shot a McGowen barrel lately? I have been thinking about a 338 RCM build lately and of all the places I have looked so far, McGowen is the only one with all the options I am looking for. In the past, I got the feeling from others that they were of mediocre quality and...

    Best "age" burns for deer.

    I'm hunting Utah this year and I am looking at some burns to hunt. I know game are drawn to burns to feed on the new growth, but I'm not really sure what age burns are the best. When does a burn really become productive? 2 years after the fire? 4 years? the year after the fire? School me...

    Cutting Edge 44 cal 250 grain Maximus in a 1:28 twist

    Does anyone have experience with this bullet in a production inline muzzleloader with the normal 1:28 twist? CEB recommends a faster twist, but people are leaving reviews on their site saying they are using it in things like the CVA Accura and TC Omega with good results. Wondering if anyone...

    I'm thinking of getting my toes wet in bullet casting some projectiles for muzzleloader hunts in states where it is required to use a lead projectile. For those of you that also cast, what is your favorite cast bullet for deer and elk?
