A few days ago I posted about going on a short range hunt in Idaho. Currently The laws in Idaho short range hunts allow for Muzzle Loaders, Handguns, Archery and Shotguns. That is why I went with a 12ga Slug gun. I keep hearing rumors that Idaho may take slugs off the table next year (I doubt...

So earlier today I was visiting my brother in the Boise area. He asked if I would bring a few hand guns for him to try out (read my sig: most of my hand guns are 357 magnums). One of the ones I brought is the Coonan. Any way we get to the range and I realize that you can only use factory ammo...

I was wondering what every one thought about 410 slugs. Are they hard hitting enough for game? What is going on is my 12 year old son, my self and my father are going to do a "short range season" deer hunt. The area is the islands on the snake river here in idaho. They Islands are typically less...

[/URL][/IMG] it will have a 9.75 inch barrel Currently it still has a 18.5 inch barrel just some of the barrel is hidden under the blanket :eek: I had Coyote Cap shorten the magazine tube and slick up the action. Cant wait till I get my stamp back and it can look like this for real! So far...

I handled a Ruger 77/357 today and it felt pretty good. I am wondering if any one has experience with this rifle. I know the 44 would hit harder but I am looking specifically at the 357 model because it would fit with my current ammo. How about pressure? will the bolt action handle pressure...

I have a 22 short NAA mini revolver. I bought it more as a novelty but I admit that at the gym I do carry it (I can't hide anything bigger that I own). Any way today I have been thinking if its really any good or if it would just make someone mad. I decided to shoot it over a chronograph. I am...

As any one knows that reads my posts or my sig I own a fair ammount of fire arms but all are in one of 4 calibers. 22LR, 357 magnum, 45-70 Govt, 12ga. I am looking to add a 5th round. What I am looking for is a longer range rifle round. It needs to be able to out do my 45-70 for range (so...

I am wondering what 410 slug has the most energy. I dont really know why but its been some thing that I have been thinking about it today.

I am looking to start stocking up on 12ga 2 3/4 inch slug. I will be shooting them through a smooth bore. Any advice on a cheap but useable slug for building a small stock pile? Looking for something that is $1.00 a round or less and will perform well on mule deer sized game.

I have been stocking up on ammo for several years. People use to give me crap about stocking up on 22lr but now they dont. ;) Any way lately I have been stocking up on 12ga because its price has not changed as much when compared to other rounds. So the question is how much do you think makes...

For bullets the only thing I could find is Hornady 110 grain JHP and Hornady 140 grain JHP. For powder the only thing I got is some new powder called Aliant 300MP and Trail Boss. I am looking for real magnum loads so it looks like I have to use the 300MP. I have found some loads out there but...

I was out playing in the Selway wilderness area early this morning (4 days off if you count the week end and the wife away) and my horse started acting spooky. After going on for about 20 more min I saw what had spooked the horse I saw a pair of wolves watching us about 150ish yards away. One...

I found this video quite a while ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjTmXOjA5RU He is claiming 2300 FPS from a 6 inch revolver. So I went and tried out the exact load he has. The Sierra 110 grain 308 caliber HPs where hard to find but I found them at a reloading shop fairly close. The AOL...

Can you do an efile if you do not have a trust and/or are doing a form 1?

I am wondering if there is a chart some where of muzzle velocity of shot relating to barrel length? How short can a barrel be before you start loosing significant velocity? I have shot a police SBS that was an 870 with a 12 inch barrel and the velocity was very comparable to my 18.5 and 26 inch...

Ill post pictures soon. Any way a while ago I got a Chiappa Bootleg Deluxe from Taylors. At first I thought I got a dud. I bought some Cheep estate ammo and about 1 in every 5 rounds stuck and would not eject with out a dowel. I was very disappointed. After a fairly crappy range session I went...

its a remington the serial number is 976XX It also has the numbers 252 in several locations. It does not say a model number or any thing. I can not tell how long the barrel was because it looks like it was cut off at some point. Just wanting some help identifying it.

Can any one direct me to who to call or e-mail for this question? Or even give the answer your self. Because of the nature of my job on rare occasions I work in an elementary school. I know that it is not legal to carry in an elementary school so I leave my gun at home. My question is if its...

I keep hearing how hogs are destroying every thing on farms and ranches in Texas. I was talking to a guy at the range today about hunting hogs in Texas and he says its all just hype. I asked him to explain and he says that if it really was a problem that land owners would not be charging to hunt...

I always thought all game birds had to be hunting with a shotgun. During Elk/Deer (yeah I dont always shoot them from my porch) season we frequently see forest grouse near our camp. We do not shoot them (even though they look tasty) because we do not want loud shooting of shotguns around where...
