    Norma Brass & Bullet Arrivals (Dec 2025 Shipment)

    Any 450 Rigby ammo or brass due? I'd buy all the Norma PH flat nosed solid ammo I can get my hands on. The stuff with the Elephant on the box and unplated cases.

    Which one would you use on Cape Buffalo -

    I used to be of the same opinion 30 years ago, so I see the logic. The TSX and other mono bullets combine deep penetration with a wound channel solids can't match. Every bullet intended for hunting is designed to either deform, or NOT deform when it hits flesh. Solids are designed to give up...

    Which one would you use on Cape Buffalo -

    TSX My opinion may differ from others, but I insist on two holes, an entrance and an exit. Yes, I'm fully aware that a pass through may wound another animal, but care should always be taken in this regard. My lifelong experience has taught me there are 3 main things that determine how soon an...

    What, if anything, would you have done differently

    I regret not taking a dedicated camera with a good optical zoom. Cell pics of trophies are ok, but the non game Wildlife especially the birds are things you can't do with a cellphone. Take pictures of everything. Flat tire on the Bakkie? Take a picture and laugh at it later. A local with a mule...

    Classic plains game rifles and cartridges

    Exactly. Life would be boring if I could only have one rifle.

    Mexican Jungle Turkeys?

    Just looking at pictures, these turkeys don't appear to have a beard, but have huge spurs. Am I right? :unsure:

    Mexican Jungle Turkeys?

    Exactly. Turkeys are fun, but almost every area that has turkeys has other game as well. ;)

    Mexican Jungle Turkeys?

    These birds are interesting, but a mixed bag would make a more exciting time if it. So far I've seen Crested Guan, Curassow, Brocket Deer, Collared Peccary, Agouti, Paca, Coati, Chachalaca, and Tinamou listed as huntable in the same area. Were you able to hunt any of these other species while...

    DIY hunting in the USA, suggestions where to go?

    I think this is the better idea for a visiting hunter. Each region of the U.S. has it's own distinct flavor of hunting and fishing. Northern Florida, Georgia would offer Deer, Hogs, Quail, Gators, Turkeys and great fishing in the Gulf and Atlantic. Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas would offer...

    Mexican Jungle Turkeys?

    Ocellated Turkeys in southern Mexico. Absolutely stunning Turkeys, but I guess the rate is 5-7k for a week of hunting. I think I'd take 2x Pronghorn hunts for that amount.

    Politics

    He got spanked for it just as he should have. Partisan Politics has no place in the Military.

    Which would you buy

    Although I like all 3, the easiest to find in decent condition will be the CZ.

    Politics

    This is exactly what they were doing. Because they differ with the current CIC, they felt free to encourage disobedience within the ranks. If Republicans had done this EXACT thing when a Democrat was in the White House, do you think similar action wouldn't be taken against them?

    Politics

    Nothing racist about that policy, huh?
