    Getting into the handgun hunting game. 500 S&W

    Fa is better in some ways but very very slight as far as “tightness” of cylinder movement etc. i have bfr’s that are just as accurate as my fa’s and the bfr bisley grip slaps the knuckle less has a longer cylinder even in the short cylinder guns. It is more forgiving of bullet pull by far. It...

    Sectional Density - Desert Dog

    In the beginning of my time hunting i was shocked how much deeper barnes penetrated than much heavier cup and core bullets even when the barnes was much lower weight. The premium monolithic and bonded bullets really make smaller cartridges capable for game that they werent in years past. Some...

    Sectional Density - Desert Dog

    Same basic construction. Just a little more aerodynamic and the grooves are just slighly more aerodynamic. Not sure what design difference makes it inappropriate for what the tbbc was used for other than it is just also better for longer distance hunting. It is a tough bullet and one can see...

    Getting into the handgun hunting game. 500 S&W

    If u want a 500sw to hunt with i wouldnt forget the bfr with the bisley grip. Itll give you quite a bit higher velocities.

    Sectional Density - Desert Dog

    not sure which traditional bullet will punch through both shoulders of an eland at 150 yds out of a 6.5 creedmore like the terminal ascent but if you have one let me know about it.

    Sectional Density - Desert Dog

    Too many variables to say sectional density is a thing to worry to much about unless all else (variable) are accounted for. In the pistol world there are too many examples where copper solids basically always out penetrate other solid, non monolithic solids despite a significant deficit in...

    Sectional Density - Desert Dog

    Terminal ascent is one of, if not the best performing hunting bullets available that happens to have a decent bc.

    Which 6.5 Creed load for sable sized PG

    This keeps being the big problem with the 6.5 creedmore. The use of bullets that can and sometimes do work. Using lrx, scirrocos, accubonds, or fusions the opinion on the 6.5 would be different. To use it on animals as big as large deer on up will give mixed results the above post is an...

    Lever Guns and Plains Game

    I remember wally johnson said he knew he was under gunned against lions until he came to the states and read up on the “experts” opinions in the gun industry. My ph bobby hansen whom i’ve hunted with 4 times has no problem using a 375 on basically everything and if he goes bigger it is a 416...

    For the Weatherby fans...Did you see this?

    African hunters arent all knowing for sure, i was in a blind when i shot my first buffalo over there. Had a 454 casull and told the ph to cover his ears. He let me know how bigger a gun they are used to and refused. He was videoing my shot unfortunately. At the shot u can see the bullet...

    Bumping up the .450/400 Nitro for the Ruger No.1?

    I have one as a starting point for loading for my double. It also allows me to use loads that dont regulate. Its no double but is quite accurate and a pleasure to shoot offhand. It was a good buy and good rifle to hunt with.
