This video documents another experimental shotgun slug I came up with. I thought the flared base of the slug would provide stabilization, both from air drag and by acting as a flywheel when the round was fired through a rifled barrel or rifled choke tube, while the narrow core would provide low drag and good […]
A friend of mine had called, saying he has some spoiled meat in his freezer (lost power), which included eight, large, frozen turkeys. He thought my wife and I might be interested in using them for bait, since he knows we are trappers. So I picked them up. Later I thought, “Maybe I can use […]
Winchester’s new short magnum is a big deal, offering hunters and target competitors a flat long range trajectory, reduced recoil, enhanced terminal ballistics, and impressive energy as distances increase. Today’s review is not academic; yes, I have the charts and graphs to illustrate the potential of 6.8 Western, but I also have two deer and […]
The key difference is philosophy of use, handloads are typically loaded to be better than factory loaded ammunition while reloads are typically the name given to cost saving loads. Also ammunition hand loaded from new components can’t be called reloads as they have never been loaded in the first place. I do my best to […]
What’s the best .45 Semi Auto Cartridge? You tell me! We’ll be testing the Buffalo Bore 255gr Hardcast “Outdoorsman” Load in .45 Auto +p, .45 Super, and .460 Rowland
SK Long Range Match is for targets 100 yards and beyond but today I will be testing it at 50 yards to see how it stacks up against other ammo in the CZ.

After a few tedious and only minimally successful attempts at making my own bullet molds for experimental bullet designs, I came up with a new mold design concept with interchangeable cavities. For casting large quantities of bullets, the mold is a bit tedious to use, but for experimenting with new bullet designs, where only a […]
