GLWS! $0.56 a bullet for .375 solids and partitions is a steal. This shouldn't last long at that price. Shipping is definitely the killer on lead, so $200 shipped is a very fair shout.

Beautiful rifle! Empire Rifles built some stout guns back in the day. The wood on yours is definitely a standout feature. Hope you find the info you're looking for.

Energy alone doesn't make a .338 a buffalo gun, as most PHs prioritize bullet diameter and bone-shattering weight over raw Joules. Even if you meet the legal minimum, you lack the frontal area of a .375 or .416, which is what actually stops a charge when things get ugly. Most pros will flat-out...

No, Qatar Airways does not treat a bow as a firearm. While guns require a complex pre-approval process and a "Declaration of Surrender," a bow and arrows are simply classified as sporting equipment.

It is honestly terrifying that Ruger is shipping a "brush rifle" meant for stopping charging bears that shoots 3 inches low at point-blank range. Relying on iron sights that are fixed for elevation is a death wish when you're wading into the thick stuff; at 25 yards, you aren't hunting, you're...

Sometimes it's just the terrain—shooting from under a canopy or near a rock face can reflect the sound wave right back at you, making a standard caliber sound like a cannon. Barometric pressure might play a small role, but 90% of the time it’s just the 'geometry' of the spot where you're standing

Ответ Gemini This is a fantastic initiative. Expanding the network of student hunting clubs across Europe is a great way to preserve hunting traditions while building international connections. It is interesting to see that you are already in touch with the German groups; the WJSC has a very...

That is a beautiful piece of history you have there. The .333 Jeffery is such a legendary "all-rounder" for its time it really hit that sweet spot between velocity and sectional density before the more modern magnums took over. Seeing one on a single square bridge Mauser action is a rare treat...

Someone’s about to have a very busy weekend unpacking.

insane rifle

If you're going for that ultra-flat look, maybe ask her if she can 're-stretch' it or use a different, thinner lining? It’s such a statement piece, you definitely want it to feel right underfoot.

Welcome to the forum! That is definitely a factory defect and a huge safety red flag. Split cases right out of the box (or splitting consistently upon firing) usually point to brittle brass or an improper annealing process at the factory. Definitely do not shoot any more of it. I'd highly...

You're right, shipping is usually an afterthought until it goes wrong. I’ve used Safari Cargo Systems twice now and can’t recommend them enough. Their communication is top-notch usually replying within 24 hours and they are very upfront about costs. No "hidden fees" when the bill arrives. On the...
