    Source for 7mm Solids

    Barnes made them, but there were no riding rings much of 175 gr bullet shank rode the rifling, pressure and wear. But not doing target work would limit negative factors. I drove them at moderate velocity and they penetrated straight. 7x57 M/Schoenauer.

    Source for 7mm Solids

    I found and used true monolithic .284" (7mm) 175 gr 25 yrs ago---but (rats) cannot recal source except it was US maker Barnes, Hornady, Nosler...doubt Speer, Sierra, Berger.

    The 308, 30-06, 7x57 Conundrum

    Most animals, unlike our fellow man, need to be enticed to join the fight with a charge. Us humans will easily attack on "hearsay" of grocery clerks.

    The 308, 30-06, 7x57 Conundrum

    That fella is a good shot and must be an excellent hunter to make things work with those rifles. The 7x57(275 Rig) is sweet to shoot. But with a .330 sectiinal density, that 220 gr 30/06 has proven itself in goid hands over and over. Thank you for your experience and practical chat. As an...

    RE: FIREARMS FOR A FARMER IN TANZANIA

    Absolutely! Presently I arrived from Canada and left my rifles behind. So, I need to find the regulations regarding use of firearms by non-citizen residents. I have no inclination to trophy hunt, however I would like to find if hunting for meat may be allowed (PG as well as fowl). Also, if...

    RE: FIREARMS FOR A FARMER IN TANZANIA

    ThT m Akes sense. I wonder about a 12ga over a 30/30, 7.62x54R, or 5.6x52R I had at one time a Zoli 12ga over 22 hi-power(5.6×52R) and wish I had kept it. But maybe, like most compromises, they nake neither a good rifle or a good shotgun. Kind of like an amphibian aircraft is not a great...

    RE: FIREARMS FOR A FARMER IN TANZANIA

    Akso require reguluar practice. My pistolario technique would need as much work as were it a bow/arrow. A.22 rifle would be better. I think auto (semi auto) are restricted. And wearing a side arm in view is frowned upon.(I take it as a threat to local population) although Massi are permitted...

    RE: FIREARMS FOR A FARMER IN TANZANIA

    Yes, very regional. I suppose wild boar can be hunted by driven, by stalking or by stand-over-bait eavh could possibly use a different weapon

    12 ga could have multiple choke tubes and even be O/U a smaller rifle like 5.6x42R
