I have been a long time fan of Ol Man climbers but I have generally found a tree on my properties and treat them like a ladder and leave them in place after locking them with cable. however I now find myself hunting with a buddy at a military installation in which we must hike them in and remove them each hunt. I find the Ol Man a little cumbersome for hiking and the setup takes a tad longer than I would like for these circumstances. Would like advice from anyone that routinely carries their climbers in and then always carries them out

similar experience I have had virtually the same experience twice. I went back to fixed only. Don't think I will ever try expandables again

I tried American Pioneer and had disasterous results. Terrible groups and inconsistent ignition. Had several instances where the powder clearly did not completely burn. It just sort of went "poof" and the bullet barely made it out of the barrel. I have never had a problem with pyrodex or triple 7
