    The 470 Capstick Pt.2

    Barnes TSX or not

    I used a 300gr TSX in my 375 HH on a lion and leopard and didn’t open up very well at all. I would not use on thin skinned cats again. Pin hole in and out.

    .470 Capstick

    Howdy - I bought a left-handed Winchester model 70 470 capstick a number of years ago off gun broker. Haven’t shot it yet but was able to find quite a bit of ammo out of California when they were liquidating the Jeffrey Lash ordeal. I should really shoot it. Happy New year! Ham

    Covid traveling question

    I was pretty concerned the week going into testing. I asked the nurse not to go too deep which was the wrong comment. I think she went deeper and scraped my brain a little harder. My advice would be to test as soon as you are within the window and if you pop positive to test again the next day...

    Covid traveling question

    I went to Zambia 3 weeks ago. Just needed negative PCR within 3 days of departure. In Zambia they hardly looked at it. Flew from Chicago to Qatar and they looked more closely at the test result than in Zambia. I am unvaccinated and had no problems. The night I was coming home is when the US...
