The Warne rings arrived today, in great condition. Thanks!

I'll take the "both Warne rings for 65 shipped"; I'll send you a DM.

I've hunted twice with CMS in Dande in 2022 and 2024; both times in the first half of July. From the last time in 2024, when I hunted out of Matombo Camp on the Zambezi, besides the PH, I tipped: two trackers, the driver, the parks ranger, the communal game scout, the cook, two waiters, the...

I bought a Whitworth 375 H&H 15 years ago, and it accounted for hippo, croc, leopard, kudu, klippspringer and jackal on a 2024 safari in the Zambezi valley of Zimbabwe. It is accurate enough - 1 MOA or less. It is wearing at least the 2nd stock. The original description: " For Sale...

This is one I inherited from father-in-law, which I think is kind-of-cool, being a Charles Parker of Meriden, CT vise.

Well...it's a bit of a long story, but I have been collaborating with researchers in Sweden since the late 1990s, and spent a year at Chalmers tekniska högskola circa 2014-2015. Almost all of my Swedish hunting has come about through personal connections made over the years.

Thanks for posting your report and congratulations on the calf! A lot of good eating there. I'd guess many of the members aren't familiar with Swedish practice requiring the calf be taken first. How far north were you hunting? I've taken part in drevjakt near Finspång and in Småland, but was...

DM sent.

Agreed - I was quite happy to see 5 cents a piece delivered for CCI large rifle and small rifle primers.

Midsouth has: CCI BR-2 Large Rifle Bench Rest Primers CCI BR-4 Small Rifle Bench Rest Primers both 5000/$250 shipped, including Hazmat (You might need to buy $299 to get Hazmat - that's unclear, but I ordered one of each and I paid no shipping or Hazmat)

I'd like to buy these if they're still available: 1997 Summer 2000 Winter 2001 Summer 2004 Spring 2008 Autumn 2008 Winter 2009 Autumn 2011 Winter

Thanks Michael. Interesting. I was not measuring pressure, and it's certainly possible I was over pressure. IIRC, I went on Cutting Edge Bullet's advice (here) to start 5% low from any reputable lead core bullet, and then work up from there. Hodgdon lists 76 grains of H-4895 as max for a...

FWIW, I'm using H4895 with the 400 gr CEB solid and the 370 gr CEB Raptor. I settled on: 400gr CEB solid, 73,7 gr H4895, 2450 FPS 370 gr Raptor, 76.1 gr H4895, 2574 FPS. The velocities were chronographed; fired from a Win Model 70. Those shot "close enough" to same POI. I was able to get...

I would like one, too. I've sent you a PM.
