    Heavy Bullet Preferences in the .270 Winchester

    What bullets weight are shooting accurate in your rifle now? I agree RL26 is getting 3000 fps+ with the 150's and that is some serious big game medicine but so is a mono like a Barnes in a 130 gr bullet clocking 3200+ fps. Neither is a bad choice.

    Best .338

    Glad to hear that you reload. This maybe the best cartridge to make the argument in the USA as the ultimate "all-rounder" cartridge. I will profess that I am biased to a 338 Win mag as I have hunted, loaded and shot mine for 17 yrs. and going...As a man on a budget I would suggest going to...

    Stock design

    Folks I am new here but I have lurked for information and knowledge off and on for the past few years. Now that I have been baptized in the African bush I feel it appropriate that I officially sign up. I went on my first safari in 2018 and I am already planning the next trip and buffalo is the...
