Just finished this for my grandson's 1st birthday. Lots of learning......

Confusing--you state .577 NE, but show .470 NE ammo. Why the discrepancy? I looked at the photos to confirm .577, but didn't find anything (yes on 450/400).

From the website link he provides (converted to English--no, not by me!): Musk oxen may be hunted with rifles and bows and arrows: • Rifles for commercial and recreational hunting must have a caliber of at least 6.5 x 55, projectile diameter of 6.5 mm. • Rifles for trophy hunting must have a...

Not according to Cartridges of the World. Shoulders can be blown out--look at all the Ackley Improveds (e.g. 375/06 AI at 0.455). 400 Whelen is at 0.462. Zeglin had a whole line of cartridges based on the '06. No sense in going to the much rarer 9.3x62.

Fred Zeglin produced the .411 Express and the .411 Hawk, both from 06 brass. He had a whole line of propietary cartridges off 06 brass.

The necessity of using solid crimps and not using H110 for reduced loads has been common knowledge (and written in loading books) for probably the entirety of my reloading years since 1974 or so. I'm not sure how you missed it. I've loaded hot 45 Colt, 3 different 44 mags and 454 Casull without...

If the one is the extended ring, I'd like it. My No 1 needs two extended, and @odonata was nice enough to provide the first. Details upon confirmation. Whoops, looks like it's for the Leupold bases--can't use them.

You don't need a scope--with five leaves it's probably good to 500m.

Just wait until they come out with the ,416 Rigby Plus Peak! Then they could also hot load the .460 Weatherby. 458 Lott?

Don't forget about the 375 Flanged Magnum, a pretty aesthetic cartridge as long as you don't call it a 375 H&H Rimmed. I doubt few Americans know what flanged is, so it gives a romantic ring to it.

Some good reading which will answer many of your questions: Alaska brown bear regulations Synopsis: brown bear hunting is common throughout the state, 1/year, residents over 60 get free licenses. Yes, Alaska is worth visiting even if you're not hunting. Spectacular scenery and a completely...

Mountain bike. Almost all mine (6-8?) were taken in Wyoming via mt. bike. It does require varied terrain though. Ride around, find goats, sneek, shoot, dress, and then drag it back to your bike for the ride out. And you can ride back to camp with a buck trussed up on your rear rack (beware...

I'd like a 50ct box of 375 H&H. I'll DM with particulars.

Wasn't it already listed and sold here this morning?

And then he compares it to a downloaded .375 H&H. Regardless of the 300 gr/2400 fps loaded by many companies, you can get 300s up to 2600 fps (per Nosler and Hodgdon). Equating a cartridge with 62 gr volume to one (of larger diameter) to 78-83 gr volume defies physics, assuming similar...
