    To chamber, or not to chamber? That is the question.

    1) always chambered. 2) I hunt the Northeast in NYS. When hunting in Newfoundland this year a lot of times the chamber was unloaded.

    New brass prep?

    Watching this thread because I also bought 100 pieces of Hornsdy brass in 6.5 millennial (creedmoor), although mine are shiny and I haven’t noticed any primer flash hole issues. Will look at the necks for chamfering.

    Looking for a scope

    For a muzz Gun I suggest the Leupold VX Freedom SABR scope designed for them. I have an older Leupold 3-9 with the DABR reticle and like it a lot. It gives you hold over points for loads to 300 yards. I would guess it to be $300 or do....

    Muzzleloader HELP!!!

    Like others, I don't hunt with a clean gun barrel! I had issues with BH209 after using cleaning stuff intended for 777 & other powders. It cost me a good buck last year. About 3 hours after loading it, it hang fired. A month later, back hone, I loaded it in the evening and the following...

    New Hunter from the Adirondacks

    Welcome to the forum! I too live in upstate NYS, hunt the ADKs and love it when the snow falls! I have hunted elk in Colorado many times both with the bow and muzzleloader. You may not come back East after being out there! Best of luck to you....

    Ultimate Slam 2-7x33 vs Vx3i 2.5-8x36 on Savage 220f 20ga Slug Gun

    I have used Leupold scopes almost exclusively for rifles and shotguns. A 20 gauge will not be too tough on them! I have a 3-9 Leupold SABR on a muzzleloader and like it, although I have never shot so far that I needed to use the holdover lines. I also have two VX3i 2.5-8 scopes on rifles and...

    Rifle rebuild

    Nice looking rifle! So, you did the finish on the barrel, or did you have that done? Just curious about it if it was a finish done at home.

    Bore Sight Kits

    I have a couple things. One is a Leupold magnetic tool. It attaches to the end of the barrel using a magnetic base. Mine is the old one that has no reference for the height of the scope over the bore. However, I estimate the height and have OK results with it. I have used it when switching...

    Background checks on ammo purchases.

    The NYS Safe act, as mentioned above, required background checks for ammo purchases. The idea has been shelved, but can be reactivated if the NYS Police come up with a methodology to implement it. I used to really enjoy buying ammo through mail order, but that has ended......

    Do you keep your boxes?

    I had a bunch, but when we moved 5 years ago, I ditched them. However, more recent purchases have seen the boxes piling up in the cellar now. I save scope boxes too. Not sure why as I seldom sell a scope. Right now I have 5 scopes in boxes; waiting for a rifle to wed them to I guess! :)
