  1. Had a transom mount transducer with twin inboards.  Did it work while trolling?  Yes, but not as well as I had hoped.  At faster trolling speeds, there were times there was more interference.  Made the switch to thru hull, but kept the transom mounted 'ducer installed to compare.  Using both back to back, the 600w thru hall outperforms the 1000w transom mount 'ducer at all trolling speeds and cruising.  Better picture and less interference.

    Agree on the economies of reloading except you can't find PRIMERs and powder is hit and miss.  So if you have everything available I support going for it!  IF you know who has a good supply of primers, please do tell!

     

    Thanks

    I've picked up a few thousand SRP and LRP.  Easiest way is to hit up online sites and get notifications.  BIG downside is cost.  You'll get hit by premium prices, shipping AND HAZMAT fees.  Luckily, in the shops I frequent, powder has steadily been coming back....just not the ones I need.

    Lol I would love to get into reloading but I looked into it and dang..... to realistically get into the game its like a 1k plus for the items you really need. 

    No way.  Presses can be had for under $100, same with powder measures/scales (or both in 1), calipers $50.  Those are your big ticket items.  The rest are dies and components, and that all depends on how many cartridges you want to load for.  Initial cost is a bit, but can get it much cheaper than you think.  Shoot me a message if you have any questions.  Don't want your thread going too far sideways

    Yah, I was looking for a flat shooting specialty varmint gun. I don't want to damage fur and I want velocity that can overcome some distance shooting across fields. I love the 204 and I knew I was getting into a spot where ammo would be hard to find but I didn't think it would be this stupid for this long. When prices were low I got tons of 22 and 556. Still years later I haven't even though about buying those rounds which has been very nice. 

     

    If you reload, or get into it, 20 Prac is the way to go.  Similar to 204 and super easy to reload for.  Neck down 223 case and done.  Depending on bullet, can get anywhere from 3-4000fps with little/no pelt damage.
