Jim, depending on how far you are trying to push them, you MIGHT even think about slowing that bullet down. It seems like I keep hearing (and I honestly know roughly nothing) that you want to be in a range of 2100 (and not under 2000) to 2300fps at point of impact. I am 100% sure there are...

Right, i listened to it. Very informative. I know he likes a variety of bullets and with bullets continuing to evolve (in mostly an awesome way) i wonder what his current recommendations are. I sure hear alot about the greatness of the Woodleigh hydro bullets but i don't believe anyone is...

Right. I know he has specifically talked about liking the 350gr bullets weight with the .374 to bring the sectional density up (talking both buff and elephant) but apparently doesn't love the TSX version. I'm wondering what bullet in that weight he does like. No doubt, the conditions...

I could be wrong, but if you believe Kevin Robertson and his book The Perfect Shot 2, sectional density has more impact on penetration than velocity. Obviously bullet construction is of utmost importance. Your point on over-penetration is a good one. For sure in hunting in big herds, you...

So just to be uber clear on a really interesting old discussion, a Winchester Model 70 .375 H&H has a 1 in 12 twist rate in it's barrel, it can stabilize a 1.75in bullet. The Barnes 350 grain TSX is 1.691in long. So in theory, the higher sectional density of the bullet should help in...

I had a girlfriend named "Underhammer." Man I miss her...

Are any ammo manufacturers loading .375 woodleigh hydro solids? Federal apparently discontinued that round.

I have this exact rifle in a .300 WM. They are awesome. That barrel will eat up recoil. I do not have a muzzle break on mine and am considering getting it threaded for a can.

Well I'll apologize because I'm sure there are threads with this topic but for the life of me, the search function isn't working on my computer on this site (could be me, could be the site, unsure). I have read a couple of threads about which scopes, etc. I know the scope i want to put on my...

I am told Winchester is doing a production run this fall.

What is the best way to get measured for a double rifle (or i guess any rifle) when your plan is to be patient and wait for a good quality used rifle? I assume the OEM sales folks don't want to waste time on you when you are going to look for a used weapon but maybe that isn't true? I under...
