    Didn't realize I missed saying that. It was a cape buffalo

    Bullet Performance Database

    350 grain Barnes TTSX out of a 416 weatherby mag. The first bullet picture was through the shoulder and the other two pictures are the bullet shot through his hip into his stomach as he was running off. I would say that for hitting hard bone the 416 weatherby has too much velocity for the ideal...

    That is great information thank you

    My dream come true - I bought a Colt "RAINMAKER"

    I think the rarity of those makes them cooler than my 38. I'm curious if your trigger is as heavy as mine is or if mine has some internal problem exacerbating the heavy trigger pull. It's not an easy pistol to shoot with anything approaching accuracy. These are my single and double action pull...

    Used Trophies

    There's nearly always taxidermy on wildlifebuyer.com, but it tends to all be in Texas. It's a good reputable site. I've bought some rams on it. There currently aren't any regular wild hogs at the moment, but they have a mount of a leopard attacking a bushpig. That's pretty close.

    Africa Addio ( Africa Blood and Guts /Fairwell Africa

    It's obviously a dark and somber documentary, and it does a good job showcasing the decline of post colonial Africa at the time as well as providing a reference for the current decline, but it's still always hard for me to not chuckle at the "Wait, these aren't whites, they're Italians" line

    Which firearm do you have to most fun shooting

    For rifles, probably my Standard Arms Model G. I got one in 25 remington and liked it so much I got another in 35 remington. That's the 35 with the deer and the 25 with the hog. It is unique in that it is a gas operated semi auto designed consciously to be able to run as a normal pump action in...

    I guess making the video a gif didn't work either.

    Big Bore Optics: Red Dots, Reflexes, LPVOs, and Traditional Scopes

    I have a 1-10x Maven LPVO on my 416 weatherby and I think it's about as close as you can get to an optic that can do it all. It's first focal plane so your bdc stays the same regardless of magnification and unlike other LPVOs I've had it's crystal clear all the way to 10x. It is hard to find...

    What big gun do you shoot the most just for fun?

    It is. If you look closely you'll notice I'm wearing a leather glove, and that's because when I shot it without one the trigger guard was making my finger bleed.

    What big gun do you shoot the most just for fun?

    Since my video didn't attach I'll do a screenshot of it.

    What big gun do you shoot the most just for fun?

    I have a 458 lott barrel for my T/C encore that I got for no practical reason since it was pretty cheap. It's fun for a couple shots. My rifle forend doesn't fit it so I have to use a pistol forend on it.

    What's the riskiest stunt you've ever pulled?

    Purposefully drifted a tuned ¾ ton diesel pickup in the rain at 90 miles an hour when I was in college, pulling a 40 year old 30 foot gooseneck camper at 125 miles an hour, jumping a small truck with long travel race suspension 10 feet off the ground or maybe turning what the GPS said was a 2.5...

    Want To Buy Double Barrel Shotgun For Dove Season (under $1,000)

    I like to go to the antique guns section on gunbroker. Old pretty shotguns are remarkably cheap if they aren't one of the main few brands people look for. I got this Baker for around $330 shipped a few years ago. You do have to be more careful about sticking with low pressure loads in damascus...
