I am pleasantly surprised at how unselfish and spiritually conscious all you are. It always gives me hope and assurance with my fellow men and women who step up and recognize that it is Jesus Christ and our Lord GOD to whom we place our hope. GOD BLESS all of you. Keep praying .

READY FOR THE HUNT WITH HTK SAFARIS!

Thanks RSL. I wasn't sure if a 6-48 tap would be the correct size. A broken tap remover is available from Brownells. Just in case a tap is broken off while chasing the threads. I hope it doesn't happen.

IMO, either the threads on the tapped screw hold in the receiver are stripped or the screw is too short to engage the receiver threads or the screw threads are stripped. You could try to run the appropriate size tap into the receiver and retry a fresh screw. Or a longer screw. When I was...

Seems to me there is a lot of criticism directed personally to Bill Hober. I have only talked to him one time but he was very good to answer my questions. IMO, Swift has considerable difficulty obtaining the type of copper alloy they want for their bullets. At this time, I would give Swift a...

If you like your .375 as I like mine, you should use it. You might find that there are some sales on factory ammo in 235 grain, 250 or 270 grain. The lighter bullets are a good choice for black bear. My choice would be Swift A-Frame or Barnes TSX. Try some and determine which cartridges...

Migrabill. Don't forget to move around some. Deep venous thrombosis is always a risk. Seriously.

To Altitude Sickness. There must be reason you or your buddy have your elk entlers sideways on the pack horse. If you look at Horses, Hitches and Rocky Trails by Joe Back, if you can find a copy somewhere, he shows another way to pack antlers. If course I wasn't there and there must be a...

Always throw in an extra pair of socks. Wool socks. Wear a thin inner sock and wool outer sock. If you need an extra pair of socks in the Back Country, you probably don't have enough money to buy another pair. Take you own.

You might need to chamber cast the rifle barrel and / or slug the barrel to measure the exact caliber. It is a nice piece.

For your straight walled cases, you might consider carbide dies. They will last forever. Probably. I started with RCBS over 45 years ago. I added a Dillon Precision Press for .223 and .45, .38, 44 special and .44 magnum. If I am working up a load for rifle cartridges, the RCBS is the way...

My .416 Taylor is in a Hogue Over molded stock. I have built 25-06's on Hogue over molded stocks for my grandsons. The 25-06's are under 1" MOA. I had to shorten the stocks for the boys when they were young but now they are 6'2" to 6'3" and their LOP requires a longer stock. The nice part...

What an interesting thread. I must say that barrel break in was carried out with an obsession in my Lilja .375 barrel. Now I have no copper build up at all. I have been using Barnes TSX bullets for years. I have found the same experience as well. Lighter bullets, i.e. 235 gr. in .375...

WELCOME. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.

Thank you, sir. I already have enjoyed the site. I did not mention in the initial post that I do enjoy horse packing into the Bob Marshall Wilderness complex for summer trips and fall hunting. I am about finished with those trips however. I am a little old for those trips and my hunting...
