    Taking the S&W 6906 out today.

    What should i expect? This will be the first high power pistol i've shot or centerfire pistol i've shot. I never knew what model it was but i finally got home today looked at it and noticed it's an aluminum alloy framed 3" carry gun. Or what it appears anyhow. So what should i expect as far as...

    Shooting the handgun: Left eye dominant/Right Handed.

    Any suggestions? I shoot rifles right handed exclusively, have my scope covers to cover my left eye, and have gotten to where if i have a tube to look down my right eye can take over. Open sights is a different story especially at the distance handgun sights are away from my eyes, and i don't...

    Lets see those 1911s.

    Didn't really search for this because well everyone makes changes to weapons over time and sometimes what you had then is not now. Anyhow i would just like to see everyone's 1911 setup. :)

    1911 Manufacturers.

    700 extractor shaving the rims of brass?

    I can't figure it out. I've never had a problem like this out of my 5R until now. Most of my rounds chamber fine then there are a couple that are hard as hell to chamber due to the cam on the bolt. Any ideas? I have a similar problem to a worse extent with the .243 where extracting a rd...

    Range day.

    300, 400, and 500yds today. Felt good shooting, groups are so so. Varget has to vary lot from lot i was having to dial 2/10ths lower than my last shooting with the same load. Overall a fun day none the less.

    Berger 168gr Hybrid.

    http://www.bergerbullets.com/Products/Target%20Bullets.html Anyone tried these? With a G1 BC of .519 and a G7 of .266 it's a couple of thousandths better than the Berger 175gr BT LR that i shoot and it's cheaper. Usually i wouldn't care but i could probably run it at slightly greater speeds...

    Delta Mud..

    Another day of duck hunting in MS gumbo mud. Lol the guy in the middle always falls and it's just like him to be clumsy and put himself in a situation like that. Second pic is my other friend showing the ducks we got. Should've had more as always...the first picture cracks me up.

    Took the 5R out to 500/600yds today on steel

    Man it's so much more forgiving than paper. None the less fun as hell. I have yet to shoot my target from Big Dog steel. Still gotta run to the hunting camp to get a 4x8 post. Finally got some hard data on my .308 and my .223, and it feels good hehe. The rust spots are where the shots hit...

    Decisions Decisions.. Brake or weapon light?

    Got some Christmas money ready to put into my SPR and can't decide whether to spend 180$ on the Ops Inc. Brake to finish the gun physically. Or get a surefire M300A which i found 100$ cheaper than retail on ebay new for 245$. One in FDE and one in black. If i went the Ops. Inc rout i would spend...

    Is this normal size for a wolf?

    :eek: First off this isn't me as you can see i live in the delta. But i was wondering fo rall you that hunt wolves in the mountains and protect elk populations etc. This size of that animal isn't normal is it? This just seems far to big for a wolf. Maybe i've never seen one and thats why but...

    A successful Day in the Delta swampland

    My friend and I are pretty big into duck hunting. And usually it's nothing but tons of work for just a couple of ducks. Thing is we have tons. Around the small town i live in Northern MS, i'd be hard pressed to find better duck hunting than my families land. It's alot of Bayous and swampy areas...

    Anyone ever taken an Oryx?

    Love these animals they're absolutely gorgeous IMO. Supposedly hard to kill and elusive to track also. Thinking of trying to plan a trip around the spring of either this or a Elk. Mainly i just want to go on a Big Game hunt outside of freaking MS. Man i get tired of hills and delta land.

    Need Some help Shooting semi autos

    I can hold good groups on my bolt guns with no problem but i must be doing something wrong with my SPR build. It will group the Southwest run N gun. At times it has produced around 1/2 moa. But it seems that i'm so damn inconsistent when shooting it. So i'm wondering if it's parallax or...

    Slightly messed up on my .308 loads.

    Just noticed on my .308 loads that i loaded some while back, that I bottomed out the seating die. When letting the press down, then screwing the seating die in and backing out a turn or so.. well i forgot to do that. So now there is a small ring around the neck. My friend said i crimped it which...

    Well finally drew some blood with the 5R.

    Before After Shot that big sucker at 253yds with a 175gr berger BT LR right at the top of the neck...he didn't move an inch. Not bad for a target round ;) whish he would've been further 253yds just seems like a chip shot for an animal of this size. Right at 1.2 mils figured it would be...
