I took a cow last January. I used a 300 WSM with a 180 grain Nosler Accubond. It was a backup as my -06 had an extractor issue before the trip. The bullet was a through and through that ruined both bacon slabs with bloodshot. Yes, the skin closed to absorb the wound. I had to use my...

What is good preferred LOP for doubles, either SxS or O/U? Are we bumping up against 15”?

Interesting selection of rifle brass. Someone on here was looking for a source of 400 H&H. I did not realize there were that many WSM head stamped cartridges. 50-110, wish there was 45-120 brass.

I would like to do something similar with a TC Encore stock (after getting a 375 Flanged or 9.3x74R barrel built). I used the Encore in 300 WM on my first safari.

I was checking my email when the product notification arrived.

I picked up some 9.3 bullets in 232gr PP and 320gr RN. Added some 416 bullets in 340gr. Many Thanks, G What is the primary use for the .375 cal, 300gr, HD RN SN bullet?

All animation aside, I looked into it quite a bit. I went the Taylor route due to brass availability thanks to Bill at Raven Rocks. Dies are a bit more but a one time cost. Powders can be different between the pet loads found on this site for the Taylor and current offerings. I have a smidgen...

I'll second a 444 Marlin.

My project advisers.

I will take a swing at this. Get the popcorn as this may make you laugh, groan or ban me. The goal was a field grade, proof of concept, functional rifle. Wait, he’s gonna do what? Front row seats to the show, we’re in. I had a budget barreled action that I wished shot better… Howa 1500 in...

Ugh, math fails me.

Welcome aboard. Agree with the above information but I would not want to take 100 rounds of ammo between 2 calibers. To me, that seems excessive even if both rifles are used without one being a back-up. Space the rounds out and use foam to fill the space between each caliber and lock it up...
