I killed a whitetail a couple years ago with the single bevel version of this broadhead. It had a great blood trail and he went maybe 20 yards. They're my go-to broadheads now.

I have an H. Burgsmuller from the late 1800s that came with a set of 12 gauge barrels, and it was extremely cheap on gunbroker by double rifle standards. It was only around $1400 or so, probably due in part to the fact that the seller didn't know the chambering and I'm still not confident about...

When I'm being lazy I pocket carry an S&W model 60 357 and I like it. I've even pig hunted with it from a bow blind.

I built it on one of those cheap harbor freight trailers with the 4'x8' deck.

I like the tang safety MK77s. I've had three and currently still have one. The two on the left shot great with no issues whatsoever one is a 257 Roberts AI and the other is a 300 win mag. The third is a 22-244 improved, which is the one I still have, took quite a bit of load development for it...

This is my dad's setup. It's setup so two people can load at once. Bullets are organized by caliber and mass for the most part except for some of my odd ball stuff.

I would say no. It's already less common than it used to be, but it's also easier than it ever was to get information. I'm in my late 20s and have helped people younger than myself get started. Granted, I do very little reloading with common easy to find cartridges, or virtually none for that...

I had all my practical bases covered for hunting and defense purposes to where I had a gun chambered in a reasonably appropriate cartridge for hunting everything from rabbits to moose except for a DG rifle by probably 21 years old and since then I've mostly started getting into more interesting...

I'll tell on myself with one. For the background on this, I have a Henry 45 colt I shoot suppressed, and for anything suppressed I like to be subsonic if possible with the heaviest for caliber bullets I can get to maximize energy while staying quiet. For this reason, I handloaded a bunch of 45...

We're in different conditions. I prelube bullets, and just a couple of weeks ago I was hunting in 90°+ heat. Early season is worse. I've seen better performance with conicals on deer and see no reason to go with a less effective option.

I run the exact same bullet lubed with a mix of deer tallow and beeswax in both my tc hawken and pedersoli kodiak 50, but with 100 grains of powder. I've had good results hunting with them, but I couldn't tell you what the bullets looked like after shooting an animal because they blow through...

I wear the same one I wear everywhere else. It's an Omega Seamaster that's older than I am.

It's a cartridge that I would categorize as good enough. It doesn't stand out in any way in regards to design or ballistics and it doesn't have the mystique or historical interest of some other similarly performing cartridges, so nobody thinks about it. I have 2 7mm-08s and in both cases I got...
