i would shoot 300 gr bullets, if you get 2500 fps, you will end up with 4100+ ft lbs of energy

ehhhh, can't fix stupid

i grew up in WA state, retired my last job and considered moving back there to be by family. even bought a house to rent out till we retired, decided i did not want to live in a commie state. sold the house and stayed in alaska, will end up moving down to the lower 48 at some point, but wont...

hmmmm, pretty hard to argue against a 373 H&H, AND i did not see a 458 winchester as one of your other options. that said, i would consider a 458 win as well. it will easily shoot a 400 gr bullet at 2400+ fps which has the same recoil AND same ballistics as a 416 rem/rigby/ruger. you can...

welcome aboard!

i think @Mark A Ouellette said it exactly right and i would mostly parrot what he said. first, with a 416, you are not shooting gophers so you do not need a high power scope, a scope with a 1 or 1.5x bottom end in just right. the illuminated dot is pretty nice to have. scopes are...

great hunt report. i did a similar thing to my feet when i went fishing with gerard, and that little jack russel is a hoot when a shark hits the beach! khomas is a great place to hunt and phillip is a fantastic host, i can't wait to go back! juan of course is not only a fine guide but a lot...

when hunting bush pig in SA my ph had a battery connected to a red tail light with a small solar panel on it to keep it topped up. he switched to LED tail lights for his red light because LED uses much less power. he did NOT have a solar panel on each light, he would just put a new battery on...

my only thoughts are: whether or not a guy/woman is insane, mentally challenged, on drugs, etc, etc his/her actions should determine punishment. using my grandkid as an example, if a man was under the influence or deranged or "insane" and he hurt or killed my family member, i really don't...

a north fork cup point solid, or a n.f. soft would be good choices, i suspect the cutting edge bullet would work well too.

that's what i decided on for my 300 win in factory loads, shoots good, good b.c. and slightly faster velocity than advertised on the box 200 gr @ 2850 fps

my addiction says i need to go every year; my finances say otherwise! dang it!

ehhhhh, i would take some deflation right about now.

all it takes is money! ;)
