.297"? I'm calling that the same hole!

Can you explain further, FG? It *seems* like the primer stays put, as it feels snug when I pull it out. What's the oring actually doing? TIA, M

Out our way, we don't get a lot of long shots. I was just looking at the longest shot I've seen (but did not take because I was buck hunting) on the farm I hunt, and it was just over 150 yds. We're so hilly out this way, it's hard to go 200 yds without running into another hill. :/

I never bothered trying 777 or anything but BH, but I know that I'm VERY comfortable with shots out to 175 using this powder and 260gr PT Golds. As I've mentioned elsewhere, the accuracy is better than I am. 2 1/2" groups at 450' with me flinching a bit (after 20 shots or so) and only using one...

Just following up. I'm shooting PT Gold 260's with 110 V BH209. The gun and loads are more accurate than I am at 150 yds (as far as I can go out at my range). I took a nice deer this year at 125 yds. DRT. I like the gun a lot. I really like the BH209 and the load. It does kick a lot at the...

I use Scorpion PT Gold 260's with 110gr BH209. This was recovered from under the neck skin on a deer I shot quartering away. The entry wound was 3" (I guess I clipped a rib). The deer dropped on the spot.

I can tell you, I like BH209 A LOT. I pre-meaure my loads so it's really no more hassle than the pellets and more flexible. The clean up is a big plus. I just run a hoppes moist patch down the bore, let it rest for 5 minutes, then hit it with a brush for a couple passes, another hoppes patch...

Thanks!

At the tag end of the deer season, I was lent a Traditions Vortex, and while I didn't get a chance to shoot it, I liked it. My host killed a doe with it and he was impressed with the accuracy and knockdown power. As such, I broke down and bought a Pursuit UL with a scope last week (helluva...

I shoot a lot of air rifles, and especially with springers, I've learned the value of a consistent hold. At the end of the season, I was lent a Traditions Vortex, and while I didn't get a chance to shoot it, I liked it. My host killed a doe with it and he was impressed with the accuracy and...

Do you actually read any of my posts, or just scan a few words? Or is it really about getting the last word in? Nice shot, btw. I will say that I was looking for more insight from folks who shoot slug guns off sticks, but at this point, I'm thinking it's a moot issue. I'll do the testing and...

See, hyperbole is my problem. You should "sight in" your comments to make them more accurate. "No value whatsoever"? Really? I've got 60 lbs (or whatever) of venison in my freezer that say's otherwise. The gun as provided to me was more than adequate for almost all of the deer I saw during the...

Additionally, the chart data you posted (thank you), suggest several things (though I must correct you, the sighting wasn't 10" high. The bounce off the sticks put moved the POI AS MUCH AS 10", though it could have been just 6" high.): One is that my host zeroing the gun at 50yds is suboptimal...

Ok, you don't get to change the facts as given. I was and am assured that the weapon was accurately sighted in. And, I defy you to show me that at 80 yards, the difference in the way a slug gun shoots between two men of similar builds and experience, is going to be measurable given other...

That seems like a very confident statement. Can you derive that morality? :/ Seriously, you presume much. I'd never have taken the shot, had I realized how long it was. Sighting in the gun myself would have given me confidence to consciously decide or not to take that shot. It would have been...
