What can I say, I like to see stuff 'Splode, and experience has shown that I shoot better "at something" rather than paper. I fill the cans with bird seed or scratch feed, and the critters like my gun range!!!

Great minds think alike....shot each of our 3 guns, twice each, cut 2 bullseyes on all three, didnt have to touch a turret.....ready for Saturday!

Reckon the lid would be tight enough? A buddy told me it don't work.

I say it will.

Have you done it?

I just happen to have 4 pounds ....

 

[BriarPatch99]

I had to move the scope on the .243... old wood stock 700... nothing but two clicks right... it will put 3 in a 1/2" ...if I do my part...

The .270 WSM needs about three clicks left.... don't think it got shot at all last year.... it will put the AB in about <3/4" for 3 shots...

.25/06 is about gone so snuff can is about the best it can do anymore... group was located normal spot...

The .308 really could use some tweaking with the loads.... still snuff can as is ....

All are dead deer if the shooter does their part.... I didn't rush my shooting and kinda made a part afternoon doing so...

I can't tell you about the snuff can ....but I can tell what five pounds does to a refrigerator!

There is a video somewhere of some fellas shooting a bag of it I think @ 500 and took out a whole sounder of hogs

 

[Ruger#3]

There’s a “hold my beer” in this thread somewhere.

 

[earlthegoat2]

Cant do opening day this year. Will have to figure out a day or two next week.

Either way I have the Henry X 360 Buckhammer ready to go with the Ruger American 450 BM in reserve. Savage 220 slug gun for my thick stuff spot.

 

[Jester896]

just remember to be safe...stay 100 yards away for each pound used

Since when has NEED got anything to do with it???

I still gotta shoot a couple more, and first out is MY 7600 Carbine. Out of all of them, it is the one that I'll never sell or trade...

I have only used 1 rifle for everything for the last 18 years. A 300 win mag. with 180 grain nosler partitions. No need to change but I have expanded my choices over the last year and am really looking forward to using some new to me rifles this season to shoot a few critters. I will be using a 30.06 with 180 grain Swift Sirrocos, 25.06 not sure what ammo yet, and a .270 with 150 grain nosler partitions.
