As someone that has built over a dozen hunting boxes and elevated stands over the years let me share that the single most important aspect to get right to lead to longevity is to be able to have weather tight seals for the windows. The cut edge of the wood around the windows and water intrusion...

Sorry, no knowledge of that era gun

Excellent post. Your life of hunting evolution is not yet complete. You have other plateaus ahead of you.

Platform has changed, member content looks familiar :D

When do you plan to shoot at the range? I was a member of there for many years up until last year. I may stop by and meet some of you If anyone is interesting in shooting a custom smokeless MZ or the .357 maximum, 444 marlin let me know and I'll bring them along.

I will be around more often when fall approaches. Even though I don't hunt anymore I still enjoy reading all of your adventures.

I get it but 2018 is only one day different than 2017, two days different than 2016

The numbers as reported by ODNR 2016 Gun - 75,987 2017 Gun - 86,929 2016 MZ - 15,843 2017 MZ - 13,268 2016 Youth - 5,930 2017 Youth - 4,958 2016 Archery - 82,488 2017 Archery - 81,092

It is the same as every other year for as long as I can remember. Monday after Thankgiving

I'm sure you already know this but the overall weight of the mass times velocity will determine KE. 430 gr, 1 oz slug in steel will perform very similar to a 1 oz slug of a different density material in initial KE. These slugs actually have better numbers that the old stand by Remington Copper...

looks like a nice personal defense round, but don't think I would have any interest in shooting a deer with one, maybe a pig.

The XTP's have a reputation of being a good bullet They best way to unload it is to shoot it. Another was is to remove the breech plug and push the load out through the breech. This can create some cleanup issues depending on your gun design. A break open style gun isn't too bad. When I went...

Friends don't let friends shoot powerbelts:D

Jackalope and Bowhunter1023, Thanks to you for providing this platform for people that share the same passion for the outdoors to communicate, educate, agree, disagree and even kick a shin every now and then. I don't think I have personally ever met even one of you from the site but I look...

That's great and a 28" barrel for sure helps with burn time and velocity. Some shorter barrels shooting max loads are not burning the entire powder load and would get the same velocity with loads 20% lighter. By the way when I talk about fine tuning your load with small changes in the grain...

Pyrodex pellets don't leave the hard crusty ring like T7 but is still very dirty and corrosive. I have not first hand experince with the white hots but they don't get rave reviews. BH 209 has two very distinct adavantages over T7 or Pyrodex. It has better energy per grain weight then either of...

Pellets are convenient but that is all they have going for them. T7 is very dirty, pellets are very inconsistent, and it is pretty corrosive and leaves a ring of hard crusty burnt sugar at the ignition location that is really difficult to deal with in the field. Bunches and bunches of deer have...

Which powder are you shooting? It is very typical of a MZ to send the first clean barrel shot out of the group from shots 2-5. That leaves you with a choice, either hunt with a clean gun and sight in for the clean barrel shot knowing your subsequent shots will not impact the same as the...
