    Need help picking a nice Safari rifle. Sako 85? Sako 90? Something else?

    I think we all agree that the 30.06 with 180 grain ammo is a great safari package for PG. However, I recommend you look at other calibers as well. Seems some of the the larger PG are still running strong for 100-200 plus yards after good shots out of a 30.06 with a 180 grain bullet, but that...

    Your 3 favorite hunting cartridges of all time

    Well amschind, if I don't shoot beyond 400 yards and the ballistics of the 7mm-08 are better than the 6.5 CM to 500 yards, why would I prefer a CM then, especially if I can shoot a heavier bullet. I only shoot premium bullets 150-160 grains with Staball 6.5...giving me 2900 ft/sec with the 150...
