There is no correct answer to your question, said another way… All responses are correct.

Prices continue to go up because the few manufacturers have discovered that there is price in-elasticity for reloading components. Raising prices has little or no impact on sales. Only a fool would fail to keep on increasing prices under these conditions. I predict that this will continue...

My favorite hunting rifle? For me, my Weatherby Vanguard II in .308 Win is my hands-down favorite hunting rifle. It is light, very accurate, easy to handload ammunition, and with a plastic stock that I don’t have to worry about. The recoil is light, and it is good for most game that I hunt...

Give me a break. Easy to argue if all one does is find bogeymen behind every comment that one disagrees with.

They are moving to secure some Georgia incentives at the expense of Georgia taxpayers… When the tax incentives are gone…. Remington folds.

I think that you nailed it. The company failed to update its plant over many years. Easy to blame it on “liberals” and other bogeymen. I call BS on their claims. They will get some tax breaks and incentives at the expense of Georgia taxpayers. My prediction is that this move will not solve...

Dark green/od, long sleeves w sleeve “button” tabs. Vent in back. Cotton the tabs keep rolled up shirtsleeve out of the way. Two large pockets with button flaps.

Newer cartridge designs will not lower the prices for dangerous game ammunition. At best all it is is “Peeing in the soup” to make more soup. There is no added value. My solution has been to reload my DG ammunition. It is much much cheaper than purchase at retail.

Dangerous game cartridge design is already much more than adequate. I don‘t see a point in developing new rounds, other than to extract money from hunters’ wallets.

I have used reloads for both of my Africa hunts. They worked out very well. I don’t see any issues regarding using reloads On Africa hunts.

I followed the advice of my doctor and the health department regarding malaria medicine. I suggest that you do the same. An outfitter is good at organizing a hunt and your doctor is good at looking out for your health…. I wouldn’t use an outfitter for medical advice. Some people have been...

I am not sure how that works…. Can you provide a modern example where the introduction of a newer cartridge has driven the cost of old cartridges down.

Why is another DG cartridge necessary? I don‘t believe that it is. There are plenty of DG cartridge sizes and types available now. If you want to try a newer cartridge, try the Ruger .375. It was developed in 2009. but, just imagine how you would purchase ammunition for it in say Zimbabwe...

My favorite rifle of all times is a simple Weatherby Vanguard in .308 Win. It has a reasonable range, coupled with mild recoil and an ability to cleanly kill deer and elk. I have grown a bit cynical of the marketing spin put on new rifles and cartridges. The hunting magazine writers are paid...
