      What happens to cerakote if heated with torch?

      That tool coated with lapping compound should work. Take your time and get all of the cerakote out. It shouldn't be in there in the first place. Does you bolt carrier fit?

      Rut 2020

      I let this guy walk yesterday. There are two bigger ones out there. One much bigger. I may not be so patient the next time.

      Actually looking forward to ML season next month

      I use 45 grains AA 5744 under a 300 grain Barnes Original .458 caliber bullet in an orange MMP sabot, Federal primer. 2000 fps, on the chronograph. Stock up on vent liners if you can find them.

      Leaving Crossbow Cocked... for how long?

      I make my own with a cheap or unwanted bolt and a polymer varmint tip. The ones I have are shaped like a cone. Don't hit a rock, it will bounce off to points unknown.

      Chronograph recommendation

      I got a Labradar this year to replace my CED. It's great, but the iPhone app stinks. Fortunately, you don't need the app. I like that it provides up to 5 down range velocities out to around 50 yards. It does a good job with my crossbow too. 420 fps with a 490 grain bolt and tip!

      2020 Stocked pheasant hunt lottery drawing

      Farmers also left fields fallow for a year, letting whatever grow, or planting a cover crop, proving habitat for the birds. Now it's pretty much no-till and crops each year. The farmer that leases my field does corn-corn-soybeans, repeat. Plenty of mourning doves. I just can't hit them...

      Rut 2020

      This guy didn't get big by being dumb. He seems to think that the rut is on. Bonus deer tag target.

      Good 9mm powder?

      6.9 or 7.0 grains of HS6 behind a 115 grain flat base bullet. I'm about to try some concave base bullets so that may change with those.

      Question about "Dummy" rounds

      I make dummy rounds, but not for dry fire. I use them to set the seating die if I change bullets. One dummy round for each type of bullet. A time saver.

      .300 blk out dies

      I first bought the RCBS resizing die to make .300 Blackout from .223 brass. It was the only one I could find at the time. I wasn't happy with the runout on the brass so I got the Redding when it was back in stock and sold the RCBS. No perceptible runout with that die. All my die sets are...

      Bambi whacking thread 2020-2021

      Boiled, twice. The second time was to get the last bits out from the skull base and sinuses after I pulled those apart with needle nosed pliers. I added Oxyclean non-bleach powder to whiten it. Worked well.

      Bambi whacking thread 2020-2021

      My 11 pointer, one double brow tine, the other side may have been double at one time. Taken Oct 28, an hour before sunset while he was pushing a doe. Crossbow, 35 yards. I hit him high and ended up cutting his throat. Over 200 pounds in the field. I let an 8 pointer walk yesterday.

      They can't be all bad: “They hunt and shoot guns, and now we go with them. I was just at the National Rifle Association gun range shooting a gun, for the first time ever.”

      Stoner: He Didn't Intend It for Civilians

      The Colt SP-1 semi-automatic AR-15 was offered to the civilian market in 1963. Up to that point, "AR-15" model 601 was the select fire weapon which became the M16. The 601 was 14 twist, the 602 was 12. The model 603 became the M16A1, which introduced the forward assist at the Army's insistence.
