I would go with 7 mm mag. If u look around Browning made a 1@8 twist 26-inch barrel. I have a new Browning. A Xbolt Speed Long Range 280AI. Mine has a 1@8 twist and 26-inch barrel. Ammo isn't that hard to find for 7 mm mag. The 6.8 not alot of ammo choices.
Takes a while to figure everything out. But u will just keep trying. 2 main thing get your traps dug up. Trap wasn't bedded Solid. Or your trap had some lure/ food on your trap. Coons love to play in dug up dirt. And they will dig/flip a trap. I trapped a 5000 acre hunting club. I took 53...

Went into a shop Friday. They had several cans of blackhorn 209. It was 85.00 plus tax a can. I fount a deal from a local guy. He was selling his muzzle loader stuff. I bought 4 10 oz cans for 80.00. Best deal I got in a long time. Arkansas has passed the straight wall cartridge. Usage during...
