    Practice bullets vs hunting bullets

    Have you found any accuracy differences with the seconds? I just got some (.284/175gr) , but haven't shot them yet. The only difference I could tell was a less refined nose--weights were consistent with firsts. I figure any round after the first will have a more deformed tip from recoil, so...

    Getting into the handgun hunting game. 500 S&W

    FYI, I just saw that Thompson Center is re-introducing their Encore pistol. That in 375 JDJ would be fun!

    How can the mechanical stress exerted by DG cartridges on the action be estimated? Peak pressure alone is not a solution

    So would cartridge design affect back thrust? Think of 300 H&H vs some 40 degree Ackley Improved. One of the professed benefits of less taper is to reduce case lengthening, which suggests that longitudinal pressures are involved. Or is something else going on?

    Guns.com - User Beware

    I've bought two rifles from them (Whitworth 375, Ruger No 1 375) and both were near new, with no hitches and decent prices. Due diligence is always worthwhile though.

    IMR 3031 & 500 NE

    I love it. 79 grains of powder for a reduced load! (.375 is my biggest.)

    Nope, extruded.

    25 RPM

    It's the 300 Norma, not the 308. There's a difference. For reference: 308 Norma, 300 Norma

    Light, flat & fast...What round should I choose?

    Yeah, if I was better at making up my mind of what to get, I'd have a lot more guns. Indecision has saved me a lot of money!

    Shooting a SuperBlackHawk

    Try the Hogue grips. I shot lots of heavy SBH loads with them with no problem.https://www.hogueinc.com/overmolded-rubber-grip-black-ruger-super-blackhawk-long-barrel-super-blackhawk-hunter

    Pay It Forward-Free

    I'd like to take you up on your generosity for the medium rings. I'll be out of town for a bit so no hurry.

    Things you survived, but probably shouldn't have

    My pilot in a Long Ranger "lost tail rotor effectiveness". We did 15-20 revolutions and didn't crash. We did go home after that, though.

    Meat Eater - Steve Rinella in Africa

    Wildlife is the property of the State, and is managed by the State. In general, the Feds have nothing to do with hunting licenses outside of Alaska, where Federal subsistence use permits are managed by the Feds (a product of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA)). Anyone...

    For a range bullet, I've had good luck with the 270 Speer
