I'm going on a first time Texas hog hunt next fall. We will be using .50 Hawken replicas, and I was wondering what anyone with experience might think was a good projectile. Guns are 1:48" twist. I was considering the 350gr T/C maxi ball over 70gr of 777. Where would you place your bullet?

I'm looking for info from anyone who has/does shoot the .50 Hornady Great Plains bullet over Prodex RS in a 24" Hawken or similar (1:48). Have you choreographed it, and if so what kind of velocities are you getting?

So...I have this friend who...ahem...can only use black powder guns...lol Anyhow, we hunt and hike together a lot, and his field pistol is a Uberti 2nd model dragon. I've been in touch with Kaido Ojamaa and made all the mods for him, but now we are trying to wring the last bit of performance...

Who makes a percussion SxS shotgun these days without paying the $1200 for a Pedersoli? Petersoli's are worth it, but I have a friend who can't afford one, and is...ahem....restricted to hunting with antique "non-firearms". (If he gets one, I'm buying myself a Pedersoli :) I told him I'd...

Does anyone have any experience shooting .30 caliber bullets in a .50 muzzle loader using sabot? I saw some advertised, but wasn't willing to jump with both feet.

I'm not brand new to muzzleloading, but have not done a lot of shooting with conicals. What kind of theoretical speed should I be getting from a 385 grain Hornady Great Planes over 100 grains of Pyrodex RS? Barrel is 24 in with 1 in 28 twist

I have a mossberg 500c 20 gauge that I want to.buy a fully rifled slug barrel for. What are the pros and cons of a cantilever barrel mounted scope, versus a reciever mounted scope? Can I take the cantilever barrel off and on and maintain zero?

Okay, we have our 6.5mm 140s, and 100gr pills for the .224 Valkyrie. Heavy for caliber bullets offer penetration and retained energy all out of proportion to cartridge, and trajectory out of proportion to recoil and muzzle velocity, when compared to what we were doing 20-30 years ago. Why...

I have a friend who is a firearms instructor with a military-only background. He wants to learn revolvers enough to teach the students who show up for his classes with one. Now here is the deal: He should know better, and I have tried to tell him so, but he wants to buy a CHEAP DA revolver...

I have a Remington 722 that has seen many decades of steady use, but the (fixed) extractor has become worn. It drags the case from the chamber just fine, but let's go before the ejector can do it's job, thus leaving the brass in the action, jamming it. My question is, this being a fixed...

Will this ever be a thing? I mean if Sig and Kimber have similar sized nines, could it happen? Any rumors to this effect?

I own, like, and use a 10mm. That said, could someone please tell me why, with 30% less energy in top end loads, people think the 10mm is a ".41magnum class round"? Is the .308 a "300 Win Mag class round"? Is the .38 Spl a ".357 mag class round"? It is a good cartridge. I am fond of...

A friend just came into four, 9mo old pigs. They are un-castrated males of around 125lbs weight. Meat pigs usually ship at about 5 1/2 months and 270lbs. What do you deep south hunters do with such a pig when you shoot one.

Has anyone tried using 40 caliber dummy rounds in a 10mm Glock for training? Granted we're trying to induce a malfunction at this point, but doesn't work like dummy rounds normally do or does it cause additional problems?

A coworker had a Taurus "Poly Protector" in .38 Special, which he was selling for just $150. It is ugly and crude looking, but I figured it might make good trading stock. Anyone have here shot one of these? If so, what are your thoughts on the model?
