    Winchester "Big Five" 470 Capstick

    The comments are mostly pointed at your lack of knowledge about ammo and how you seem to keep repeating what we know is foolish. I wish you the best with your new prize.

    Winchester "Big Five" 470 Capstick

    I'm in my 40's and vote republican. How ever sticking cases in guns with factory ammo that has been stored properly sounds more like a guy that over oils his rifles for storage then doesn't mop them clean before firing. I worked making ammo and have a pretty decent knowledge on the subject...

    Winchester "Big Five" 470 Capstick

    I have shot ammo that's twice my age. And have fired a couple rounds in my day. Never had this happen. Ammo stored in a reasonable manner will last a long long time.

    Reloading question for cases

    they will shoot fine. The line you are seeing is just a slight difference between the diameter you sized to and the diameter the bullet swaged the neck to as it was seated. As long as they chamber you can fire them. Try some dry lube and let us know how it works.

    Reloading question for cases

    Use some dry lube on the bullet. The wrinkle will fade. Neck turning for close range big bores is completely unnecessary. The tsx has a slightly easier to seat profile than the Woodleigh. The Woodleigh is true flat base as where the tsx has a little role on the base that doesn't show the...

    Placing a Dealer Order with Swift Bullets soon - What are your favorites?

    Get them to make a .375 300 grain Scirocco and they would fly off the shelves, but they can't even make what is already catalogued so I won't hold my breath.

    416 Rigby bullet seating

    the body length that the 416 Rigby should have next to the one that was originally shipped. They will replace the die body like the one pictured with a longer setting die body. Dont waste good brass trying to get the short bodied die to work it will not. Once you have the correct die...

    Yes hornady made a bunch of dies that were to short. Contact them and they will send you to correct die body. I had the same problem with a 416 rigby die.

    Knowing this means you have been here or live close. Thank you for the compliment we hunt our butts off blacktail are the ghost of monster Whitetail. I've been very fortunate to have a great family that taught me to hunt and friends that are killing machines.

    It's definitely not factory ammo that gets it done past 500 on a regular basis that world belongs to the hand loaded stuff.

    375h&h on elk

    Killed this bull with a 300 wm at 525yards. 210 Berger hunters gave him a bloody nose. They were going 2925 at the muzzle and I believe it was 7moa of dial to hit him twice in the lungs in very rapid succession.

    375h&h on elk

    Asking what a 300 wm does at 500 is not really a question that one can answer in any definite way. The bullet matters a lot more than the chamber. A 180 nosler partition is not going to be nearly as affective at 500 as say a 212 eldx would be and the wind drift and drops would be much...

    This is a 30-06 with 165 TGK I would not think twice to shoot an elk at 500 yards with it in proper conditions.

    375h&h on elk

    The 1-4 on my rigby gets it to 400 yards easy. The 375 is on the right with a 2.5-10 NXS.

    375h&h on elk

    This is 500 yards with the 375 H&H with 300 Aframes. If steering with a good scope it's a cake walk. I prefer the NF 2.5-10x32 for the job. Only downside is wind but that's why I practice couple times a week.

    Moose is on the short list. 30-06 is a hell of a great cartridge I have a few but my favorite is a M24 want to be on a stiller predator. Built by bug holes inc. It shoots so good that it is like cheating. I'm jealous that you get to kill moose at will.

    375h&h on elk

    Our crew has three spools of rope with a 1/2 mile each. A really nice chainsaw wench and a pile of pack boards. With the right guys we can kill and have an elk on boards in 45 minutes. Then cover a mile or two with the pieces in a few hours. But I prefer the rope I'm getting old.

    375h&h on elk

    I have done very well on elk over the years. Our crew rule is the buddy that helped most gets one of the whistlers. So very few of these are pairs. I did kill a couple with a 338 edge. Most with a bow but pretty much every way except a spear.

    The long story is I bought the rifle off an old friend I meet at the rifle range. He ended up being a class mate of my late grandfather and after 15 years of asking about the rifle he sold it to me with the promise I would kill a pile animal with it. This elk was the third animal I have taken...

    458 Lott instead of 416 Rigby?

    Like I said the Aframes and partitions are very similar and I found max load below 83 grains I would start off low and work up to pressure.

    458 Lott instead of 416 Rigby?

    I tried RL15, h4350, imr 4350 and CFE 223. RL 17 was the best in my rifle. I read that CCI tested it to 81 grains but I found the max much lower. 2620 is more than enough in my opinion it's very similar to a 30-06 with flat based 180 grain in trajectory just carries a bunch more wallop.

    That is off sticks. I'm fully aware of the guns I mentioned intended uses. I get bored running 50 and 100 yards with rifles. The LR shooting is for grins not in anyway do I intend to shoot those distance in the field. That said it's fun knowing you can kill a coyote or baboon at 600 yards if...
