Re: Bought a new loading press..

I also have a Lee Turret, bought in 1988. It was my first press and is still my main press for handgun loads. I use the micrometer powder measure. No complaints yet on the press. I do have one minor issue with the powder measure. If I am loading with Accurate #9, the very fine grains will leak from ...

Re: northeast and midwest hunters: need advice on rabbits

Mescalero, The dogs are tracking on the scent of the rabbit and nearly all the time they are well back from the rabbit. However, you still need to be aware, and ID whatever is moving in the brush, before raising your gun. Shotguns are much safer for the hunters and the dogs in this type of hunting. ...

Mescalero,

Shotguns are for shooting running rabbits being pushed by Beagles. Different style guns for different styles of hunting. But you knew that, stirring up trouble.

You have got to hunt them over a good pack of Beagles. Some of the best hunting to be had. I am lucky enough to have two friends with packs of Beagles. It is great to listen to the pack as they work the track. Rabbits naturally circle when pushed and will come back to where they were jumped. Some wi...
