Re: 350 Legend
As MFL205 stated, this is not a 200+ yard gun. But in the woodlots and fields of traditionally shotgun only areas this caliber shines. A couple years ago Michigan started allowing the use of some straight wall cartridges in what was our restricted to slugs only zone.Roughly dividing the state in to...

350 Legend
After my latest surgery for a retina tear I decided to cut down on recoil . Traded off the 450 Bushmaster and my slug gun . The 350 is listed at 7 ft. Lbs. of felt recoil . Along with my .257 Bob I think im good to go.

Re: Foot pounds of felt recoil ?
Data you need to know is projectile weight, powder weight, gun weight, and velocity. Assuming 9 pound gun, 300 grain bullet, 100 grains powder, 1750 fps - 37 ft-lbs If you shoot the 250 gr Barnes - a little less. If your gun weighs less than 9 pounds - a little more. Thanks Spur. That seems like a ...

The main reason I switched to a 20ga. From the 12. This year I plan on using my .257 Roberts for deer . 9 ftlbs as compared to ...

Re: My Bow Season Is A Bust .
Mend up quick, and enjoy your time in the woods. What caused the tear if you don’t mind the question ? Not sure what caused it the first time. Pre 2003.They put in what they call a buckle. Since then its been cataracts in both eyes with lens replacements. I was good to go until I fell in 2003. Frac...

Re: Seat Organizers
I like it,but I can't use it in Michigan. If our firearms are in the cab they have to be in a gun case . Even then if the DNR stops you they try to tell you firearms have to be in the trunk or bed regardless of what the rule book says.
