    Do you guys discharge your load after a days hunt? Can I pull the cap and leave it loaded inside the tent each evening? If you discharge, what is the best way to do so, compressed air to blow it out, or manually pull it? I have seen the plugs that Cabelas sells that are supposed to prevent...

    .54 PRB or .50 Maxi-Hunter for Deer?

    Hi All, I am just hoping to get some input on which round would make a better 50-75 yard deer slug. A .54 PRB or a 275gr Maxi-Hunter conical? The Maxi-Hunter has about 50 gr more weight but I have heard that the PRB's expand better. Thanks for any input.

    I am having a hard time finding any ballistics data for a .54 PRB load using Goex FFFg. Everything seems to be for FFg powder. Can anyone help me out? Also is 70gr of FFFg sufficient for whitetails out to about 50 - 75 yards?

    Canvas Tent Storage

    I recently got a Pyramid tent made of 10.38 oz sunforger canvas. What is the best way for me to store it if not going to be used for a while? I have a Rubbermaid type plastic bin; it that OK, or does it need to be in something that can breathe like a canvas or nylon bag? Thanks for any input!
