    Federal Power Shok 270 gr .375.. Reviews Please

    Recently shot a big water buffalo in Argentina with the 270 grain ones. Results were not good. I shot it 9 times. Last shot in the head at 75 yards. Last shot worked nicely . No bullet penetrated more than around 12 inches. Would not break shoulder at 125 yards. I should have tried to get closer...

    3.5 12ga vs big bore rifle

    Recoil of a heavy loaded.3.5 12ga. Is much worse than a 375 but it is not a 458. Recoil of the big calibers is quite a bit worse.

    Elk at 688 yards with a 243

    Shooting elk at that distance with anything is not hunting. With a 243 total stupidity. Go buy a beef cow , tie it out and shoot it. Wild game needs to be respected and hunted properly. Watched a long range guy cripple up a bunch of animals in Africa, and yes he was playing video to brag about...

    Any hunts you wouldn’t do again?

    Almost all your shooting preserves turn out quail and pheasants every day. There is no hunting just bird shooting.

    R8 3 accidental discharges, human error or?

    Hunt would have been over if I was guiding after the second ad. Maybe after the first it is hard to bring back bullets. I firmly believe it was operator error

    They can ship it directly to you and you can take it to taxidermist. Call Micheal coppersmith and talk to him.

    2025 Buffalo and Plains Game

    Buffalo gun sounds good. Plains game my choice is a 300 wsm or win mag. Have had excellent results on several hundred animals from eland to zebra . A 190 grain nosler accubond with 62.5 grains of imr 4831 in 300 wsm has worked great. Advantage in carrying a 300 win. Mag is ammo is readily...
