Great recipe! I find it very interesting that real hunters are real cooks, as we should be. The Biscuit technique is great. Reminds me of Popeyes biscuits in the old days, when I trained bakers, made from scratch, and with a lot of margarine (not my favorites) but dressed 3 times. I think...

When that number of firearms questions has come up in the past from my wife, I ask, how many pairs of shoes do you need? (She had 70 pairs when we got married). Next, I ask the comparison to collecting Harleys or if I had a $70K boat. Has not been a problem since. Regarding the OP question on...

Anyone has recent experience with Birdsong Black -T? I. Handled one several years ago at a local gun show (Berreta M92) , very nice.

Interesting thread. I hypothesized that backgammon was imported to East Africa by Phoenician and Arab traders millennia ago. I learned the game from my good friend from Beirut who came to Louisiana.for college. My good friend from Damascus has a classic game set. Later walking the streets of...

Regarding the OP, both seem effective, to me the 318 Westley Richards has the panache. Others may have other opinions and that’s good.

That’s a very interesting comparison of two classics. I bet that 30-06 , 220 grain “played hell” in the animal ( my Dads expression).

Good information thanks was thinking 1:12 is the sweet spot for my favorite cartridge.

Great info. What is the barrel twist rate you are using? I've seen from 1:10 to 1:14.

I have loaded successfully, Woodleigh .510 570 grain softs (made for the 500NE) in the 500 Jefferey, to moderate (2150-2200 fps) velocity. The cannelure is in a different place, but I just a Lee Factory Crimp Die for crimping to COAL.

I’ve been looking at these GPO scopes. I like the specs on this model. Where are they made? Thank you.

@Mark Biggerstaff , let us know how it goes getting your front sight blade from Browning. QC must have been on break when that was boxed up. Ive owned several M70s over the years. New Haven, Columbia SC and Portugal. I bought a used early Portuguese made M70 Alaskan a few years back off of...

I would consider having your gunsmith pillar bed the action once you get it back from Browning. I had 3 Safari Express rifles I’ve owned glass and pillar bedded.

Lots of good quality photos help a lot, with bullets out of the box, and clear pictures of the total amount. Good luck.

Following with interest. Very nice rifles.

How was the penetration and wound channel? Thinking about these in a 200 grain 44 special +P load.
