Pretty sure Texas will get things under control. Don’t Mess with Texas. https://www.statesman.com/picture-gallery/news/2024/04/24/ut-austin-protest-protests-arrest-pro-palestine-walk-out-photos/73441175007/

Cool looking rifle. 21st century rendition of my first centerfire - bought at age 18 (1967). Model 742, also a 30-06.

Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way. Johnson, now with only a 1 vote majority (thanks to MTG, Et al,), just did a solid job in the leadership category, The only way to stop Biden's open border policy is to win elections!!! Leadership matters! MTG and the other Putin supporters need to...

I have Strelok Pro (free version IIRC), and Shooter Ballistics for $10, by Shawn Kenny (sp). Both are Android versions, but available for Apple. Much prefer Shooter Ballistics as it's really easy ( after learning curve), to add rifles, various loads to each, etc. Shooter is on both my phone and...

If true could be great for Ukraine AND the GOP. "No appeasement to Putin"....

H-4350 with 180 gr A-Fs was my 30-06 plains game load in 2021. 2,757 fps at 59.5*F (22" Tikka). Very happy with results. I also use it for my 150 Hornady FMJBT practice load at 2,789 fps. Just need to dial up 1.2 MOA for the same trajectory as the 180s.

The IDF reported last nights defense cost Isreal around a billion dollars. A smoking Iranian refinery / production facility or two would be a solid deterrence of future Iranian attacks, IMO. Hit their revenue producing assets and make the regime loose support.

Save time by using the vast amount of information available online. I start by searching my usual shooting forums on what works best for a specific caliber and bullet weight. Usually there are two or three powders that work best and are most popular with experienced reloaders. And you may come...

Proper cheek weld depends on the specific individual, does it not? Is there any fitting involved or more One Size fits all? Conversely, are all M70 stocks set too high? ( Clearly no help from me.)

4. The Perfect Shot 2 hardcover Worth it. Planning to keep mine forever.

Some people have all the fun... :cool: Patiently awaiting the less exaggerated reports of your demise! (kidding)

280 AI all the way.

Wow! Safe travels.

A wonderful problem to have. Enjoy your planning. Except for possibly the Eland, the 7mm08 should work great, IMO. Mine loved 160s, but mule deer is the largest I took with it. For Africa, heavy for caliber is generally preferred in bonded bullets. (See @SFRanger7GP 's post above.) For the...
