Took the kids hunting for Turkey this weekend for the second time (last year was the first).

Daughter wasn't a fan of the fashion, made them wear hunter orange vests, hats, safety glasses and ear p ...

[quote="Vince"]I wish I lived on a 1000 acre property where I could have my own range and I could shoot when I want to my heart’s content, without any concerns about timings, family and weather cons ...

I've been severely lacking in recoil therapy recently myself. Only a couple ranges near here that I enjoy going to.

Congratulations!

One more month and I get to take the kids turkey hunting again. I'm excited about that.

Plaid shirts, buckskin jackets, muzzleloaders and black powder cartridges managed to render bison, deer, and turkey virtually extinct in North America by the early 20th century.

That's more velocity and energy at 200 ya ...

I use Sierra Gamekings in my 308's since they ballistically match the Matchkings I use at the range.

They require 1,800fps or greater to reliably expand. Which is much higher then subsonic velociti ...

Simple question I guess. What's your favorite way to melt lead to cast bullets?

First time exploring this area. Had no high expectations going into the area. Weather was pretty good. Lows of 5°C or so at night. Plenty warm in the tent.
