    Nebraska has statewide muzzleloader season 12/1-12/31 if you're able to make a late December hunt.

    Off the shelf muzzleloader recommendations?

    I went with the CVA V2 LR. Drove down to Sidney and picked it up today. Didn't have time yet to shoot it but went with the blackhorn breechplug and powder, and barnes 250gr TMZ to start with. I have some hornady bullets and access (brother and hunting partner) to some powerbelts if these don't...

    7MM Shooting Times Westerner

    Sorry about that. I would say that his shots would likely be 50-300yds. To be honest, he and I haven't done a lot of shooting together so I am not sure how far out he is comfortable. He may stretch it to 400yds but I would highly doubt he would shoot much past that.

    7MM Shooting Times Westerner

    I am going to build some loads for my father-in-law's 7MM STW, I am thinking about starting with some 140 accubonds and 140 Nosler balistic tips. Have any of you had much experience with this caliber? Should I skip the lighter bullets and go to the 165+ grain class? He did not draw an elk tag...

    Next step for load development - .223 Ruger American Predator

    You may also want to look at your CBTO with some of your lower charges and see if that helps tighten groups.

    .257 Wby Mag?

    Yes, the factory loads from Nosler still did a number on everything they hit as well.

    .257 Wby Mag?

    I'm really hoping so, they grouped better at 68gr powder charge vs a couple higher ones I tried, all were within Nosler load recommendations. I bought some factory Nosler Custom in 110 accubond and chrono'd them, they only were about 3150-3200, no where near the 3400 advertised.

    Bicycling with broadheads

    While never having hunted via bike, I have bow hunted horseback, and for my horses protection and mine I kept the broadheads in a hard case. Like NEWHunter said, it takes a few seconds to spin them on.

    Off the shelf muzzleloader recommendations?

    Well, to be honest, I started out with my dad's cva around 2001, and enjoyed having a little late season opportunity, season runs from 12/1-12/31. I've also found more success getting permission to hunt private land after rifle seasons have closed and during archery season (I've hunted archery...

    John or Aggie, would either of you recommend against going with the accura in favor of either the wolf or optima?

    Off the shelf muzzleloader recommendations?

    I am in the market for a new muzzleloader this summer/fall. I have shot older CVA and Traditions guns. I'm leaning towards a CVA V2 LR but am also open to the possibility of going with a CVA accura PR. I read through the previous posts on the two guns, but was hoping that with a couple more...
