    Hunting with Semi-Automatic Rifles

    It all depends on what you are hunting and where. For semi-auto's I use a 7mm mag BAR, 450 Bushmaster AR, 458 SOCOM AR pulse several 22's.

    Ruger RSM .375 H&H (2005)

    Some of this is subjective, in fact all of it is subjective but ... 1. Most people think it is too heavy for a 375. Apparently Ruger used the same barrel for each of the 3 calibers that made up the RSM lineup. 2. The rifle is out of balance, muzzle heavy. See #1. 3. The wood is great but the...

    Ruger RSM .375 H&H (2005)

    When was talked into getting a 375 H&H, something I did not want, I looked at several manufactures but decided on a RSM built in 2006.

I just don't get the physics of those Raptors. I just seems like those petals blow off and you end up with...

    500 Nitro Crimp Die

    I had lee custom make their Factory Crimp Die of my 500 Sharps. The Sharps is .5" shorter but otherwise quite similar to a 500 NE so I suspect they could do it. They did balk at doing it but eventually capitulated; never hurts to ask.

    Where is @Brian? He shoot lots of Buffalo with a single shot, I would imagine he'd have an opinion or two.
