[Anyone try 105 grain bullet in a Savage .243 ?]

I ordered .243 Berger 105 for deer

now the place I ordered them says “ your savage barrel has too slow a twist and the bullet will not stabilize 

 I’ve seen others use it with no issues 

[Did NY pass the new crossbow laws ?]

I heard its supposed to go thru to allow xbow for the whole season and remove limb restrictions etc

As stated above, to be legal ammo has to be shipped to an FFL, a genuine pain in the ass and that is what this state loves doing to it's citizens, "make everything gun related as hard as possible"!

Being a handloader I can avoid most of this hogwash, but when it comes to rimfire ammo I have to jump through the hoops and pay through the nose. I can mitigate the cost somewhat by ordering in bulk, my FFL is The GunWorks of central NY located in Verona NY, they have a straight fee of $20, so if I purchase a couple of cases of ammo it is still within reason.

I buy mostly from Target Sports and they ship directly to GunWorks, when it comes in,I just run over there and get the paperwork out of the way, pay the fee and pickup my ammo.

I may just ship to my buddy in PA and have him bring it when he visits

I have talked to some dealers that ship online and they told me they can still send to NY just has to go to an ffl. Not sure how they track it. 

Yea that’s what I’ve heard but this place said they ship right to me ?

  Maybe they do the background check ?

“Legally” he has to ship it to an FFL.   That is for the state of NY, not just NYC. Not sure who would get in trouble if he ships directly to you.   Have never ordered ammo online. I do weekend trips to neighboring states and stock up while I am there 

Wonder how ny monitors that idiotic law ? Or if they do

[Out of state ammo sales]

Looking at trying some Berger .243 , out of state dealer has it on the shelf and says he can ship to me in NY

  I thought there was a law it had to shop to an FFL ? Or is that just NYC?

  And if he’s wrong and ships it to me, who gets in trouble ?

Has anyone experienced this ? 

[A first for me!]

I had one last year right in my front yard under a white birch 

And I live in the village

Bye Bye rat.

Trouble is I never see him at night

Always during the day on my blink cam

[To catch / kill a rat]

Weird thing , the only food around here is what little sunflower seeds fall on the ground ..

 Im betting if he isn’t dead he will never come near that trap again 

[To catch / kill a rat]

I have my camera under the deck 

never see him at night , always in the day and always just one

i caught him in a rat trap today and thought I had him

caught him right around the neck !

bastard pulled out !!!

wonder if he will die ??

or will he come back 

[To catch / kill a rat]

Well the trap isn’t working too well

[To catch / kill a rat]

I have a rat I’ve seen go under my deck a couple times 

Set a snap trap and between feral cats and skunks I Can’t catch the rat

Tried live trap too ,,, nothing

I have my pellet gun loaded but he doesn’t stay in one place long enough

I think it’s time for poison

Went back over this morning , that big tom was in the field again strutting 

Three other birds with him looked like hens .

 I couldn’t get him to come to my decoy

Another tom gobbled a couple times in the woods but no show

Get as close as you can to the property line where you can set up your decoys. Make sure he can get a visual of them from where he was in the field. Give some soft calls around daylight and see what happens. If he comes off the roost with other hens he will hang with them first probably but if he can see your setup and you throw a couple soft calls at him hopefully he will come check you out 

Is it true turkeys don’t like to come down hill ?

If they hear a hen yelp I assume they would 

[Turkey experts … have a ?]

I saw a big tom with a hen in the field next to mine .. they were there walking around over an hour

Should I set up in my field Saturday and hope he’s around ?

Also I’m kinda at the bottom of a hill, I’ve heard turkeys don’t want to go down hill ??

thx
