    BH 209 & Proper Cleaning

    OK. I let the gun sit for 10 days. I went out on the back deck, put in a Federal 209 shotshell primer, aimed, and.... It went boom! However, there was a very slight, noticeable click then boom. I cleaned the bore thoroughly using only oil based cleaners, like I use on my rifles. I also...

    BH 209 & Proper Cleaning

    Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys. More info: - I use Federal 209 shotshell primers. - My primers are not dirty or sooty looking after firing. - The gun shoots fine when sighting in, etc. I think because I load it, then shoot it a few minutes later. - I use breechplug grease on...

    BH 209 & Proper Cleaning

    I switched to using Blackhorn 209 this past fall. In the past I used 777 Pellets. The gun liked the 209 and shot well. Fast forward. On a hunt, loaded the gun in the morning. 2-3 hours later, I see a big buck bedded , facing the other way at 30 years. I @#)(# the gun aim aim, squeeze the...

    Muzzleloader Scope

    I have used only Leupolds on my muzzguns. Have used Vx2 1-4; VX2 2-7; VX2 3.9 Super Slam; and VX2 3-9. My current gun had the last scope on it and I want to replace it with a VX3i 2.5-8. For the size and weight, I thik that the 2.5-8 is largely underappreciated. Costs $399.99; but check with...

    Buying used, good or bad?

    I agree that they can be a great value! But, YES, you do need to know the draw length and weight range that fits you. I have both bought and sold used bows. I have never had a problem with either the compounds or recurves that I have bought. I suggest that you try a friends bow or look over...

    Really?

    I frequent the Bowsite and the same problem has existed there. So, folks get banned. They cannot create a new handle because their computer IP address is an identifying factor. Bowsite also has a "Community Forum". Rules there are looser and its for politics, etc. So, if your skin is thin...

    Remington 7600 pump

    They were made popular in the Northeast by the Benoits who snow track their bucks. Larry (the dad), sons Lanny, Lane and Shane as well as grandson Landon used them exclusively. Larry & Lane are now gone, but Remington offers a 7600 in 30-06 carbine, 18.5" barrel as a commemorative to Larry...

    Rinella's Bear Adventure on Afognak Island

    Great story and recap of it! I've never really hunted grizzly country (brown bear either!), but will be forewarned if I ever do. Super high pucker factor for sure. I liked Steve's analogy of a herd of zebras scenario in which the bear didn't or couldn't focus on one individual and just...

    300 Weatherby Vanguard Leupold scope

    Use 0000 steel wool with lots of gun oil on the rust. If it hasn't penetrated the finish, there will be no trace of it. If it has penetrated the finish, then there will be bare spots left. About $185 gets a Ceracoat job! :)

    Tape over the end of the rifle barrel???

    What everyone else has said! No effect on the bullet. The tape is blown odd by the air coming out of the barrel when the gun is fired. When the bullet gets there, the tape is long gone. I always cover my hunting rifle muzzles.

    on x hunt app.

    I too have struggled with OnX to even show anything at times. Logging out and then logging back in seems to help that.

    Federal BOR Lock

    I too like them and have a Traditions Vortek Strikefire muzz gun shooting them this year. I'm using 120 grains of Black Horn 209. I tried them previously in my TC Triumph with 3 - 50 grain Triple 7 pellets and they shot poorly. Also tried them with 2 - 60 grain pellets; that didn't work...

    Remington 700 7mm value??

    I suggest trolling thru Gunbroker to get a feel for prices. I also agree with selling the scope separately or keeping it for whatever new rifle you get. I bought a Remington Model 700 in 7mm Rem mag a couple of years ago. Got it for $425 with a cheap scope. I have replaced the trigger with a...

    clean bore vs fouled

    I hunt with a clean bore. However, when shooting groups and sighting in, I shoot 3 shots without any cleaning. For me, if I can't shoot 3 shots without cleaning, then I'm going to change bullets, load or powder until I can! Latest muzz gun is a Vortek StrikeFire, 50 cal. I have it shooting...

    Advice needed!!!

    I've had similar things happen when loading for 253 and 284 Hunt Talk when changing to a new pound of powder. As always suggested, back down the charge to get rid of bolt stickiness. Then resign to your gun as long as accuracy remains. Then go it more pounds of powder st the same place you...
