  1. I've got about 200 lbs up in the nose of mine, plus my gear.

    My "high speed" runs consist of about 25 mph and it's up/out at about 15 mph or so.

    With the extra weight, it comes back into the waves much better, sets better in the water, and is all and all a nicer ride IMHO.

  2. We do not hesitate to kill those either.

    When the fire whistle blows down in the valley in the evening, you can hear them light right up at lot of times.

    Many more of those around than most people think.

  3. That would be a tough call for me now, and 98% chance I would not.

    There was a time i would have not given it a second thought.

    The dog(s) could very well be the family pet, and could break the heart of a child if it was killed?

    DEC, dog warden, local law enforcement should be able to curb that.

  4. Used to shoot 3 pellets of Pirodex years ago, with plain-jane 209's and a .295 gr. hollow-point Powerbelt.

    THAT load, was devastating up close!!!! OUCH!!

    After looking closer at the ballistic chart for those Powerbelts, switched to the .270's when they came to market.

    Kills the ones we've put in the crosshairs.

    Folks we know use Blackhorn 209 loose powder, with a .250 gr. something(?) and say they have good luck with that.

  5. We have new CVA Optimas here(2) stainless/fluted barrels with Bushnell 3-9's on them.

    We were sighting those in Saturday afternoon and my son was not hole-in-hole at 100 yards, but they were touching one another.

    I had the semi-same accuracy.

    We were using 3 pellets of Triple 7, CCI Magnum primers and .270 gr Powerbelts.

    Both were swabbed clean on each and every shot, followed by a couple dry patches to insure no dampness, as well as cleaning the breach plugs.

    Triggers on these are REALLY nice.
