    Prayers for Mark

    Get well soon Mark l’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Had some minor procedures done where you are. If you’re dealing with Dr McKnight he’s one of the best.

    Empty single piece of brass in backpack South Africa

    My wife had a pair of empties in her carryon when we left Cape Town in 2017 from a zebra and black wildebeest she’d killed. She argued with the screener and tried to keep them but was unsuccessful. After he kept them he wanted to ask her about her hunt. All he got was a very cold stare.

    Wanted Winchester Model 70 Super Grade 7x57

    Been toying with selling my CZ 550 American after getting my Hawkeye African 275. Not a model 70 but the wood is outstanding and only 200 were made.

    Suggestions for a crossbow

    I went with the Excalibur Matrix 380, deadly accurate and low maintenance.

    general purpose bullet for the 6.5x55 cartridge

    I’ve narrowed it down to the 140 gr Partition in my Ruger Hawkeye African behind a good dose of RL 22. Super accurate and hits hard. It’s all I use under the feeder light to shoot hogs at night. Even the really big ones don’t stand a chance. Reread your post and don’t find the Partition too...

    Found Primers In Dallas

    Bought 1500 CCI LRP at Academy about three weeks ago. They said no limit so I was an ass and bought them all at 7 dollars a hundred.

    Found some powder and primers today

    Was at an Academy on the North side of Houston last Friday and scored 1500 CCI LR primers at 7 bucks per hundred. The days of 35-37.50 per 1000 are history I’m afraid.
