I'm using the hill behind as a backdrop. I live in a valley below a ridge so behind the shooting range is a big hill made mostly of rock. The 125 yd target will be on one side of the creek, right up against the hill. The rest of the targets will be on the same side of the creek as my shooting...

That's pretty awesome but I am talking specially about a big bore rifle, not a little pea shooter. But that project is pretty cool still.

Yeah, kinda what I thought.

Thanks guys. I usually just grab my molds from Midway or pee precision. But I am going to look at the ones you have suggested.

@ghostranger169 That is awesome. Exactly what I am looking to create!

I use the Umarex Gauntlet which I love for 3 major reasons: 1. Accuracy 2. Multishot 3. Shot capacity per fill I have taken countless squirrels with it and I love it. I have a ..22 Benjamin NotroNP that I like too, but it is not as good as my Gauntlet. For ammo, I go with the basic...

So I would normally say .22 because you will get better range and knock down power. The problem is that one of the guns you mention is NOT under 12fp. The Air Arms TX200 HC is rated 14 for .177, and 17 for the .22. The HW97 KT is rated right at 12fp so that is kind of the only option of the...

Thanks guys! I think I know how I am going to do it. I will post pics once I have completed it!

Hahaha! Oh yeah, WAY out of my skillset then. Thanks for the frank and honest views!

Ok, so for some time I have thought about the idea of building my own .45 or .50 cal rifle. The mechanics of air rifles seems pretty simple to me, but is it really? Does anyone have any resources or ideas for someone like m? How would I source the parts? What kinds of things do I need to know...

Awesome advice. I was thinking straight line but yeah, the zig zag stagger it a much better way to do it I think. Thank you!

I have a Sam Yang 909s Light Hunter that I love and is my primary hunting gun. I know that Sam Yang became Seneca a few years ago and I am just wondering is there any significant difference between the old Sam Yang version and the newer Seneca?

So I am lucky enough to live on a large enough piece of land to be able to build my own shooting range I have plenty of space for as many lanes as I want and as high as 200 yards. I want to have target sets at 25, 50, 75, 100 & 125 yards. I had an idea to do a single lane with targets I...

Just curious how many folks cast there own pellets. I cast my .45 and .50 cal ammo. But I have found anything smaller a bit harder to cast with a great degree of accuracy. One problem with casting your own ammo is that it has become harder to find molds I look online and most of the time...

I have the .22 Umarex Gauntlet and I love it. I have taken squirrel, rabbit, and even a coyote with it. I find it to be accurate and easy to shoot.
