    142 yards on a whitetail doe in Georgia. A double lung complete pass through two holes using my custom designed and cast 320 grain solid wide nose metplat bullets in my Texan .457 CF TX2. Rifle is completely stock with no modifications. 80% of my shots are between 120 to 142 yards on the...

    N/A Best 45 cal

    Texans are my favorite rifles. I own all calibers in the Texan lineup (257, 308, 357, .457 CF TX2 Carbine, 457 CF TX2 long barrel, and 510 CF TX2 long barrel) for a reason. I only hunt with them and I can attest to their lethality! The only other rifle that I have is a Gauntlet .30 caliber...

    Other Let's see them deer rifles!!!

    With the correct ammo it definitely is. I only shoot solid wide nose meplats that I design and cast. I expect penetration and get it!

    Other Let's see them deer rifles!!!

    I do hunt with both. The shorter barrel does have less velocity than the long barrels but I’m only shooting 90 yards and less with my carbine. Anything further, I use my long barrel.

    Making your own slugs

    From this generalized list below, I know you will have additional questions so please ask away. My biggest and most valuable piece of advice is to buy a book on casting. It’s invaluable and a reference whenever needed. Understand how and what you’re doing before doing it. I know…..who...

    Bintac quality

    AEA sucks a fat man sweaty ass crack after Taco Bell. I have owned, unfortunately, two AEA rifles. Before I had 20 shots on each of them, I literally burned them both in my fire pit. They make excellent firewood!!!

    Other Texan ss457 cf or bulldog 457

    I have every caliber in the Texan lineup. My go to is my Texan .457 CF TX2. I have over 18,800 shots on it and it has never broken down. I have only performed routine maintenance on the Rifle. All of my calibers perform flawlessly and all of them have over 5,000 shots through them! You...

    Can anyone tell me, where can I find the regulations for hunting with air rifles in the state of OR? If it's just in your own yard?

    Call your states “Dept. of Natural Resources” or whatever it is called in your state. They’re the ones who will arrest you or write the tickets. You said back yard, so also call the sheriff and or local police for your town / city codes.

    You have $6,000 to spend on a rifle and optic - what would you get and why?

    For air rifles, I’d finish my collection of Texans and then get a custom Doug Noble .223 or .375 Texan made! I strictly hunt and Kill for meat only, paper punching is boring.

    Wanted; 30 cal. pellet mould

    Sizing bushing is something you put in a reloading press used to describe exactly what your question was. It takes a larger diameter bullet and sizes to your specified diameter. For example, I cast for my Texan and I cast at .459 and then I run those bullets through my sizing bushing in my...

    Wanted; 30 cal. pellet mould

    Accurate, Arsenal, and NOE only sell molds for casting. Swaging is a different process and result. I only cast .257 and larger but if I had the small calibers, .250 and less, I’d swage them for better results. However NOE does sell sizing bushings for presses.

    325 yards with gauntlet .30 today

    I understand that predicament!! I opt for the high powered hunting rifles in the big bore arena! I cast my own bullets so it makes sense for me and ammo is less than a penny per shot.

    325 yards with gauntlet .30 today

    I have a Hajimoto tuned and modded Gauntlet .30. I strictly hunt with mine so I don’t care about shot count. I do refill after 3 mags (21 shots). I only fill to 4100 psi and never go below 2800 psi.

    Help

    I have owned two AEA rifles and sold each of them in less than 10 shots each. I gave that company a try, but those rifles are just not for me for many reasons. I won’t ever purchased another of their rifles. But the Texans are my go to, and I have more Texan’s in my collection than any other...
