That is the kit that I would recommend for loading rifle cartridges, as it's easy to change calibers with the breech lok adapters and lee is close by and priced fairly.
I have loaded many thousand's of rounds a year with one of those lee presses.
I still use the lyman spartan turret press my...
I'm not worried, As I put up "No Violence Zone" signs around my house.
I'll shoot you if you break the rules.
I've had a tuned 9mm korean PCP air rifle for years and that's what I use to take care of the unruly critters that lurk around my neighborhood.
That thing will transfer your internal memory to an SD card, that you can plug into your laptop.
That's if it has the correct male plug on the adapter to insert into your scope ?
No more cable from your scope to laptop.
I download my videos onto my U tube account and can edit them there, plus...
Go to the local butcher or processing plant and beg for scraps, raid the freezers of family for expired meats and bait the coyote.
Use your deer rifle and gear, and wait for them to come to you.
That's winning to to Andy boy, as his supporters don't like any type of money coming into NYS coffers from death merchants and that's more people going on Andy's welfare support system.
Both stands I had deer bedded around me, which are great sentries and both time the deer alerted me to the presence of coyote coming in.
I was calling with female and male challenge calls and the deer didn't budge, but when the real thing showed up, they would look in the direction of the coyote...
The coyote near my land upstate were put on notice this weekend.
Got two coyote while covid quarantining Sat early AM and evening.
Tisto, I use Youtube for my video hosting.
More important, does the first cold bore shot fired hit the bull on the target ?
It's a hunting rifle and not a P dog rifle, so 1st shot accuracy is essential, not the 4th, 10th or 20th shot fired.
If you can go to the range, set up your rifle as you'd be using it in the field and shoot into the...
You wouldn't think it would cost $4 thousand dollars to ship something to a different town in the same state !
It looks like it's going to be almost $5k for the krytpon, so I'll stick with the XP38 for awhile.
I've be burnt for much more when I wanted to be the first guy on the block with a new thermal do it all gizmo.
I've stayed away from clip ons, after having bumped them when moving around and missing shots because of being out in the field and not being able to check zero without firing a shot at...
These units are meant to be used with low magnification, usually around 4X.
If the price point is good and it hold's POI, it should do well.
Now I'm going to be going into my 2022 budget !!!!
Here's a link from a real pro to explain their function.
Clip on info
The GMX is monolithic and usually retains 95% of it's weight.
He's shot big bull elk, stag and all sorts of African plains game with that load and has never recovered a bullet.
He's only found a fragment of a bullet in the hide of a big black bear he shot through the shoulders and bears are...
I loaded rounds for a friend with the same rifle.
Being it has a 24" barrel with a 9.5" twist, the rifle should have success with the heavier 7mm projos.
He sometimes hunts in areas where lead is prohibited, so we tried a variety of monolithic projos.
I had good results with the hornady 139 GMX...
I know and have shot ELR matches with some of those guys.
A very talented team and a good bank roll equals results.
Even though it took 69 shots to hit the target, it's still a big accomplishment.
Also shows you how far a bullet can travel when fired on an angle, so remember that when blasting...
If their serious deer hunters, It would be best to ask permission to hunt coyote after the deer season ends, as to not effect their deer hunting.
If their not serious bow hunters, You could ask permission to hunt Oct 1st and stop a couple of weeks before rifle season starts.
Having the coyote...
I would just shoot my 30-06 or 308 then.
I've seen the damage the lighter bullets cause, so their out for now, but shooting a 130 grn bullet 3,300+ fps is mighty tempting !
After looking at whats available, a heavier bonded bullet is looking to be a good compromise between fps and meat damage...
I looked through my bullet shelves and found some boxes of 150 SMK, 155 +165 SST and 180 grn spitzers.
I really don't want to go over 165 grn, as I think it's a great all around weight for NA game, but will load up some of the 180's to see how they perform.
I loaded some of the 150 smk's with...
I just finished building a blaser R8 rifle chambered in 300 WSM.
While I've built short magnum chambered rifles for friends, I just never had the urge to build one for myself.
For this build, I wanted to use a caliber I've never used before and I found a real good deal on the WSM barrel, so WSM...
You just want to look through the XP38 scope !
But You really don't want to look through the XP38, as you'll be selling your RXQ scope to get one soon after and your wallet has already taken a beating the last few months.
Was cutting hay this weekend at my cousins farm and saw quite a few fawns.
Had to take a fawn away from one of the German shorthairs too.
That fawn was screaming it's little heart out the whole time we were trying to catch the dog.
We rinsed the fawn off with water and dried it, as the dog...
Glad you got the reticle issue figured out with pulsars awesome tech support, as I didn't want to have to come up there and show you how to do it.
Reading the manual or going on U tube really helps too.
I like the FLIR scopes, but I was given a heads up about FLIR getting out of the consumer...
I built a small snail trap made of 3/4" Ar500 for use in my basement, but before I put it down there, I took it to the range for testing and fired full load 30-06 ap rounds into it point blank, with no issues at all.
I only shoot 22lr into it for testing the cycling of my 22lr semi auto steel...
How big is the bull in that target ?
Even with the shorter barrel, you should be getting tighter groups, even if it's not in the bull.
I used to shoot service grade M1a's + garands, and could put all of them into a 10" bull at 200 with no problem.
With my 52 years old eye's now, I can still do...
I had a gen 1, sold it and got a gen 2.
I've used it in training, so it's seen it's fair share of abuse and hard knocks.
Has been reliable as any pump I've carried.
I visited Hi tech and their accessories are top notch.
I added the Hi Tech extended tube selector and muzzle brake.
I also put a...
For your next build, Northland shooters supply has criterion and shilen barrels for your savage.
I've built dozens of rifles with both barrels they offer and every one has been as accurate as the lilja, kreiger and hart barrels I've used in the past, without the wait.
I've used Mcgowan barrels...
Nice.
You should set up some targets and practice some night shooting with the digital scope too.
I use stick on reflectors to simulate eyes, as it would look in real life.
Or, you could just break open the wallet and get a thermal scope ?
Then you would have no excuses !

Extreme risk protection order (ERPO), yet they release him hours later with an ROR.
I guess everything is going to be labeled Extreme from now on , like the Extreme measures Gov Cuomo had to use to implement the SAFE act !
Got a New compliant 308 rifle with this stock, didn't like the feel of the grip, so I bought the gen III thordsen with 308 spacer to fit my big mitts.
This is just going to collect covid dust, so it must go.
Never seen use. Doesn't come with the End plate adapter, but has the bolt, kept in place...
Ticks suck
I use the sawyer clothes treatment on my outdoor chore clothes and hunting clothes + boots.
I use natural spray repellent, Lyme shot and spot treatment for the dog.
Most of my friends and hunting buddies have had Lyme multiple times.
Some will only go to the beach and have given up...
I've been dealing with the SP about the mag lok issue with the M1a platform.
Because of it's easily removable trigger group, changing a compliant TG to a non compliant TG is very easily done and that's not an acceptable modification to them.
Noone wants to temp fate, So it's easier to take off...
Being a small business owner, if I found out a repeat customer didn't at least try to inform me about a messed up order that went in their favor, I would hunt them down after things got calm and break every one of their fingers.
If they called and let me know, I'd probably let them keep it and...
They delayed the Tax deadline because of the virus, maybe they'll delay the end date of coyote season too ?
As long as the pellet rifle isn't a springer, you should be ok.
First coyote with the XP38 last night/morning.
Figured I'd get it sighted in on the Gunner and get some field time with it before the state is shut down.
Spend the $34 towards some good powerX 2700 MaH rechargeable batteries and a charger.
The scope will eat std AA batteries, especially if you use the onboard IR illuminator.

A new sightmark photon has a 3 year factory warranty, so buying another warranty is useless.
Of course you need to register for the warranty to become valid.
Your Sightmark product is warranted free of defects in materials and workmanship with the Sightmark Limited Lifetime Warranty. For night...
The seasons almost over and you have a good set up, so you don't really need one now.
You know what a difference having a thermal spotter makes, it's the same with a thermal scope.
A plus for you, is that the thermion scopes use the same batteries as your axion.
I uploaded the newest firmware...
Yes.
Awesome scope.
Waited a month to get it , but it was worth it.
I need to upload the latest firmware and it should make it even better.
640 resolution is in comparison to looking at a hi def TV picture.
So much better than the 384 res scopes I'm used to.
The video doesn't do it justice.
I...
