Hmmm, agreed, but only to a point ;) The .45-70, .45-90 (Win 86) and .405 (Win 95) are certainly quantum leaps of power from the 30-30 et al. but they still pale, even with modern loads, compared to even the .416 Rem or .458 Win, not to mention to .458 Lott, and the .45-70, .45-90 (Win 86) and...

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

And 3,500 fps is exactly what Weatherby 100 gr TTSX factory ammo clocks in my R8 barrel :) Deadly indeed, from Klipspringer to Roan in my experience, although I used it on Roan for the sake of experimentation (it worked!), but I would limit my shots with the .257 Wby at 600+ lbs animals to...

The answer is BOTH... And just to further clarify, for the benefit of those interested in understanding better what is being discussed, to answer michael458's question: "Roughly the same Kinetic Energy with both bullets correct?.................. Which one of these two was able to "Transfer"...

Come on guys !!! You crack me up :E Rofl: Kinetic Energy is half the mass (weight) multiplied by the velocity squared. Of course, it matters, otherwise Zimbabwe would not use it to express their minimum requirement: "Class A Game 5300 Joule (3,909 ft/lbs.) Minimum caliber 9.2 mm / .366 in...

That was Wayne at American Hunting Rifle.

So... I know that it is not a chainsaw per se, but if you have a woodshop these personal sawmills are just amazing... This is a Woodland HM122 with one extension rail. It can saw 22" logs 16' long. I mounted mine on a welded steel base that I put together so that it is at proper standing...

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

Welcome to winter in Northern Arizona !!! Jonsered CS2166. The best saw I ever had... My little helper... Almost too easy :E Rofl: This will keep you in shape :cool: I remember the time when we used horses for that in the French Alps... :A Gathering:

Dorleac & Dorleac ;)

There is truth to that, although at that distance lead may be academic. My understanding is that the value of getting low on a charging lion is that it puts an horizontal front shot in line with the body length, so even if the brain is missed (dang!), the bullet will still continue through the...

Woah! I am surprised, there is generally a decent level of alignment between the responses on those threads and the classic literature, but not in this case. I wonder why... Regardless of caliber, the only good shot on a charging buffalo at that distance is straight up the nose, when he comes...

Leupold have always been, and remain, a good option, but their glass & coatings are objectively not as good as those of the big 4 (Zeiss, Leica, Swarovski, Schmidt & Bender). Zeiss V4 and Swarovski Z3 represent the absolute best value for the money. Their 4 and 3 magnification ratio are plenty...

Bonjour d' Arizona Olivier :) I have used both, and objectively both work with some caveats: 1-- I would not use solids on Buffalo, at least on a first shot. Modern solids, including the DGS, will generally pass through Buffalo and you are at risk of wounding or killing a second animal behind...
