    Sellier and Bellot XRG

    Anyone have any experience with these all copper bullets from Sellier and Bellot?

    9mm home defense

    It would be interesting to put a rack of ribs in front of and behind the ballistics gelatin to see what would happen then. My only sort of relevant real world experience, with an admittedly unscientific sample size of one, is that last fall I successfully harvested a mule deer with a .50 cal...

    9mm home defense

    I am not a formal expert on bullets, but if you wanted maximum penetration, wouldn't you want a more narrow bullet as opposed to a wider one? And wouldn't a self-defense designed bullet expand or fragment while going through a human body? And if the wider bullet expands and gets even bigger...

    9mm home defense

    Very interesting article. I liked the fact the chart showed the .44 magnum (my new favorite) had the highest one shot stop of all the cartridges, even shotguns! But I also understand the article's speculation as to one of the reasons why: "However, we need to be careful here as we have one...

    9mm home defense

    I am not a fan of 9mm though I realize many people are. I can remember when I was young a lot of police departments downgraded from .357 mag revolvers and .45 acp semi’s to 9mm semi’s based on the beliefs that the lower recoil and higher capacity would make up for the reduced power. Then when...

    Murse

    I like my Hill People Gear runner's chest bag. Very comfortable with multiple pockets, wear it jogging and hiking all the time, and big enough to carry a SW 629 .44 mag or smaller. But sometimes when just running errands in a safe neighborhood I just carry a lightweight .38 LCR in my pocket...

    9mm home defense

    Hornady Critical Defense for short barreled handguns and Hornady Critical Duty for full size. But I’d also choose a caliber that starts with 4 🤠

    Happy Wheelgun Wednesday!

    Your colt is really cool. But I already have a .22 single action and I love stainless steel.

    Happy Wheelgun Wednesday!

    I’m starting to build up a collection of wood and stainless steel wheel guns. So far I’ve got a Pietta 1858 New Model Army in .44 blackpowder, Ruger Single Ten in 22lr, S&W 629 in .44 mag, and a Ruger GP 100 Match Champion in .357 mag. Suggestions for what I should think about getting next...

    Make my day Mr. Grizzly, make my day

    When I’m hiking on a hiking trail where I’ll be passing by people who aren’t openly carrying I prefer carrying concealed, even though not required.

    Make my day Mr. Grizzly, make my day

    Finally got a CCW loaded for bear for when I go fish, hike, or hunt in “Grizzly Country”. I love the looks of the stainless steel with the carved wood grips. It’s not comfortable to shoot, but I can make a satisfyingly big hole in a ten inch circle target at 7 yards.

    <$1500 first deer rifle

    The Ruger Am Gen II comes with a threaded barrel at no extra cost, which would be a good feature for OP who mentioned in his post that he was already getting a can for the rifle. I'm not familiar with Howa or NEF, but I know the Tikka models that come with threaded barrels cost a lot more. I...

    <$1500 first deer rifle

    Yeah, I got one in 5.56 nato and put a lightweight 1.5-4x scope on it. Its fun to shoot, easy to carry around, and just as accurate as my Tikka T3x Lite, but it cost less and came with features the more expensive Tikka didn't. Is the bolt as smooth as the Tikka? No, but so what?

    Can you gain muscle in a calorie deficit?

    Sure, but its unlikely.

    <$1500 first deer rifle

    If I was you, knowing what I know now, I'd get a Ruger American Gen II that comes with the threaded barrel for $599. The rest of the budget would be plenty for a really good scope and plenty of practice ammo. I don't think the more expensive brands will actually be more accurate.

    HYPOTHETICAL - $5,000 replacement budget for hunting rifle(s).

    For muzzleloading tags I would get a .50 cal black powder rifle, a nice stainless CVA Accura with a Bergara barrel, and with open sights that I need for my state is $549. https://muzzle-loaders.com/collections/all/products/cva-accura-mr-x-50-cal-muzzleloader-open-sights-black-pr3241s For where...

    USCCA or similar insurance

    I am of the same opinion as you currently, very low odds and the facts are what will really matter. in my opinion, good products don’t need a tremendous amount of advertising to sell. I was turned off when a carry insurance guy came to my last CCW class and gave a high pressure sales pitch for...

    OTC 2024-2025

    If you genuinely want a real challenge, Nevada has OTC mountain lion tags. There is a quota for diff parts of the state so you have to call a number before each hunt and listen to a recording to make sure the area you want to hunt is still open, but it is so hard to actually find the lions that...
