Back in the day, “safe” was another term for a condom. Guys said “rubbers”, your moms & grandmas said “safes”.

Nobody could spell or pronounce “prophylactics”.

Triggered.  This does make me slightly ragey...

Back in the day it was sheep intestine. Kind of like at aggy.

PSA - www.sgammo.com has 5000 round cases of .22lr for sale at $0.0379 per round - Delivered.

Winchester high velocity hollow points - Below $0.04 per round delivered is a pretty good deal.

SG Ammo Deal on .22lr

Be a heck of a sidearm out West or in the mountains.  Bears, etc.  Ballistics are similar to a .41Mag.  Superior in every way to a lumbering .45ACP (even with +p) in terms of penetration in a lightweight platform.  I've carried a 1911 in semi-high country (New Mexico) and it sucked ass.  It's heavy (the issue with 44/454/460/50 pistols). No bueno in the mountains.  It's also a nice gun.  Not something I want to subject to the elements if I don't have to.

Shut up and take my money!

Yep, like that 5.25.     The video of the 10K rounds was cool but would like to see a review with some higher powered 10mm ammo. 

 

Love the 10mm.  Recently grabbed the G40 and a stainless Blackhawk 10mm/.40 convertible among others.  G40 is a great hunting handgun using the MOS sight.  

Hopefully adding a Tangfolio 10mm  soon and another Delta Elite.

Really  Shopping for the right deal on a S&W 610 now too.  

I’ve loved  the 10mm since Col. Cooper championed it in the 80’s.

Polymer80’s newest: pf940cl. 17 slide on 19 size frame. First time doing an 80% frame but it seems like it’ll be easy enough.

Thinking about a new gas 12 gauge.   Beretta A400 Xplor or Fabarms LS4 Hunter?  Mainly for upland/dove and clays and when one of my kids tag along on a duck hunt.

I have the A400 in 20 ga.  It's a great gun and I've had no issues with it at all.  Great little dove gun.  

I have an A300 in wood.  Love it.

Yup. Me too. 12 ga on a dove is like using a chainsaw to carve a turkey. I switch b/w a 20 and 410. 

Bolt action .22lr rifle: are CZs worth the extra over a ruger American?

Cz makes an excellent rifle. I want a 455 with a threaded bbl but I don’t think they make a left handed one.

In reality, it’s probably not worth it for 98% of the people shooting .22.

Humblebrag alert.
 

 

Haha, learned on my g-mothers single-shot .410.  Got pretty good with it.  It was her barn-cat & snake gun.  Lord, I wish we still had it.  Knocked more than a few doves out of the sky with it before graduating to a H&R single-shot 20g.  

The CZ 455 American Combo is a helluva deal and a nice gun.

Interchangeable between .22lr and .17hmr.  

Getting two quality rifles for under $600 is a deal, and the .17 is a blast to shoot.

Agreed.  .17 is a righteous little round.  Small game, it's ruthless.  And pigs, put one right in their ear.  

Well, I got it!  

S&W 610 (no-dash) 10mm 6.5” NIB from ‘91...so pristine there are no turn marks on the cylinder.... still in the plastic with box, papers, etc. 

 Pics to follow as soon as I figure out how to do that in Surly. 

I’m a tad pumped about it.

It’s not a chainsaw in white wing country. 

Just got a new deer lease with a bit of a hog problem. Any recs for something semi auto to kill pigs in volume? I am a hunter more than a gun guy and my only rifle as of now is a model 70 300 win mag. 

Agree with above.  You should buy the AR if you want one but it's not going to change your hog numbers.

Pour a line of corn out going away from where you are sitting and shoot them with the .300 and you'll double/triple up some since they'll line up for you.

In reality, your shooting them won't affect the population much, but they're smart and they will go nocturnal if under some pressure so at least they won't screw up deer hunts.

You can double them with head shots and fmj from an ar too. Might not necessarily be the best idea.

Sounds like a good time to enter into the glorius world of NFA weaponry.

Money would be better spent on NVG/thermal 

Get an affordable 5.56.  Throw some glass on it.  Get used to it.  Don't invest in "hunting" ammo or any crap like that.  Just basic ball or green tip works just fine. 

Here's the problem with intermittent shooting.  They throw litters x2 a year and have very few natural predators in the wild.  Popping the older, larger ones just removes a barrier to entry for the smaller ones.  Only way to really impact their numbers is with traps....and that's a full time job (have fun removing a dozen dead hogs from a trap a week after they died....).

Best thing I've found is set up areas for them apart from your feeders.  Don't shoot them there.  Leave them alone but put pressure on them everywhere else.  Needs to be near water if possible.  As far away from your deer feeders are you can set them. 

"Hog pipes" (your mom joke here...) work great.  If you can, attach to the oldest, nastiest, creosote soaked railroad tie anchored in the ground upright.  Perfect hog scratching post.  Then attach the pipe on top with a chain (think tetherball).  Use soaked corn.  Put in bucket with water and add koolaid and let sit in the sun for a week.  Drives them crazy.  Deer won't touch it.  You can also bury this soaked corn in a few feet down.  They'll go crazy digging it up. 

"Hog pipe"

You can also bolster your feeders.  16ft cattle panels, anchored with t-posts and reinforced with t-posts (they have to be close together) in a circle (not a square or rectangle) as there are no angles they can use to get their noses under.  

See the link.  This is for a simple trap.  If you get out there a lot, that's fine.  But if you cant' get out there all the time, you'll have a bunch of bloated, dead hogs that smell great.  But see how tight the posts and panels are.  You can model this for an area around your feeders also.

^^^^ That's the truth.  Years ago before hogs were even a consideration, we had a square pen around a big gravity feeder.  Pen was built with cows in mind - not hogs.

Fast forward to hog issues and we had a break-in one year.  While I was trying to repair it, I noticed a pool of dried blood and what looked like pieces of snout at the corner where there was some overlap of the panel across the T-post.

Those panels are sharp on the ends where the horizontal wire sticks out past the vertical corner and that hog had torn his own ass up getting in there.  I guess it was worth it to him because he finally worked the corner open and let the rest of his tribe in to the buffet.

Don't give them any point to exert leverage and pry.

Known a few guys that would bury the panels a foot or so down into the ground for this very problem.  Seems like a massive PITA unless you have a trencher.

Build a good feed pen and cut down on your problems.

Feed pen and 50 pounds of tannerite.  Take out 15 at a time.  Build a new feed pen on the other side of the property when they all scramble over there.  Blast them again.  Lay down a few claymores and you'll have the lease cleared in an evening.

Sounds like a good way to invite the man into your life too. Pretty sure 50lbs of that shit makes a good boom.

YouTube + Hogs + Tannerite will take you down a long, and glorious rabbit hole of one awesome video after another.  Same with Hogs & helicopter hunts.

A tannerite/hog video was posted on the shit snow cone site and people posted in the thread bitching about it.

JFC....Those people need to get over themselves.  They'll bitch about pigs, then say jack squat about factory farming or industrial farms grinding up thousands of small animals as crows and vultures swirl overhead as they bake in the sun.  

I really want to go hog hunting from a helicopter. The tannerite thing actually sounds like fun, but I wouldn’t post video of it on Facebook.
