We used to do it both ways, when I was young dumb I hooted and hollered and moved quick and rarely saw anything and never got a shot off, as I got older and smarter a slowed down and saw more deer and got a few too instead of sending them all to the 'sitters'.
-
I lot of good suggestions but I'd find a clean used Dan Wesson super mag, caliber isn't really all that important.
-
Wouldn't ya just love to have even some of that talent and skill? I look at that stump and just see wood!
-
I'm more than capable but I have it done, the cars are cheap at $30 but the truck holds 12 gallons so that's a PIA to drag that drain pan out! (actually I've never done it) it gets new oil every 50,000 so just shy of 3 times a year.
-
Yeah! Now I want to hunt there too!!

Wait a minute, he expected you to leave even though you didn't see a ground blind yet he clearly saw your tree stand and he's talking about hunting etiquette? And all this on public land, WTH is it with people?
Years ago I hunted an old unused farm with the owners son, we had some guy try to kick us off saying that he owned it!

I would check in with the DEC and under NO circumstance would I ask the FAA! I think your going to find that as long as you have permission from the landowner your good to go.

Rob c have you ever messed around with the 300 gr xtp in your gun .my sbhh shoots them well. I haven't killed with them yet. They are a handful pushed to the max
I've been using them in a Ruger 77 carbine and have taken 4 deer with them, never recovered any of them but all four deer pretty much dropped right there! One managed to get about 50 yards. I have no idea how they'd work from a shorter barrel and I'm not going to try them in my SBH as I have them loaded up pretty hot.
I've been down the handgun only road before, usually it's either my SBH in .44mag or/and a TC contender in .35Rem. and sometimes a Dan Wesson .357.

I think I'd try running that brass thru a .223 die first to get it back to what it should be, maybe even run it thru an 'M' die then final size to .222

Could also be a few of your primer aren't seated all the way in the pocket and when the firing pin hits it causing the primer to move deeper and cushioning the strike, after that the primer looks seated and has a FP dimple. Check your unfired rounds with a straight edge or place them on a hard surface and see if they wobble.
I had a similar problem years ago with my Contender in .35 Rem. and that was easily fixed by changing to pistol primers instead of rifle primers.
-
Lots of PC info on the castboolits web site, I've been playing with PCing some of my cast pistol bullets and haven't done much with rifle rounds yet.
-
Defiantly not, but I wish it was and I had one!
-
Send him a letter, I had a similar thing happen to me with an online order, turned out the owner passed away suddenly and the family had no idea of what I wanted done with the parts. Hope you get it back.
-
Oh yeah I forgot! Do NOT under any circumstance do what some people say and disconnect the battery while engine is running to see if the alternator is working! All sorts of electrical gremlins happen!
-
I haven't read all the posts so this may have been covered.
#1 The alternator will not go click click (sorry just had to say it)
A quick and free alternator test you can do with a piece of steel, a hack saw blade is great or a screwdriver works too. With the engine running just place the blade near the rear bearing of the alternator, if it's charging there will be a magnetic field that will pull the blade to the bearing. Be CAREFULL NOT TO TOUCH THE ELECTRIC TERMINALS!

AMMO! Not this year but a few years ago I left my box ox of reloads sitting on top of the gun safe when I left for the camp. Oh well good thing I plan on my forgetfulness, I have an ammo can at the cabin filled with common ammo just in case some one (me) forgets it.
-
Antlers are nice but are tough to chew, even in soup!

Wow! You should write a book! It was almost like being there in the blowing snow with you.
I took a doe opening AM of gun, see that's how a non writer posts.

I couldn't just stand by with that poor critter in a jam like that. It would hurt but if nothing else I'd use a board and pust the nuts out of the crack. Geez that really sounds sick, doesn't it?

Beikirchs will reopen this fall in Henrietta under a new name .
Nope ,I wish it was but I don't think so. Avon gun shop carries powder as does Ammo Bee in Caledonia Like mentioned Runnings and last would be Bass Pro(=$$$$).

I have an old Winchester made Sears 30-30 that I shoot 177 grain cast lead with, unfortunately I swapped out the original sites for some glow sites and now can't get it hit the POA. I'm going to try a Henry .357 this year if the weather is decent.
-
That's so neat it makes me want to build one even though I have no use for it!
-
I carry all the time, when hunting I usually carry a Super Black Hawk in .44 mag or one of my .357 Dan Wesson's.
I think I've taken more deer with a hand gun than long guns, closest was 12feet straight down and the longest was 275 yards with a TC Contender in .35 Rem and my own home loads.

I take a bagel with cream cheese for mid morning and a couple sandwiches for a late lunch, toss in a candy bar and a Mt. Dew and I'm good to go for the most part.
