    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.

    Handgun hunting Africa plains game - Cape Buffalo (Novice)

    Get a 45 cal. 454 or 460. Then get lehigh or ceb solids. If u can get the velocity over 1600 fps use 325gr swift aframes. Both my buff were killed with aframes. The 454 load was 325gr running just over 1600 fps out of a fa83. The bfr 460 i used on the second buff was 7.5”. 300gr aframes...

    Viability of the Big Horn Armory Model 89 in .500 S&W (22" Barrel) for Cape Buffalo?

    ive taken buff head on. Be more picky with bullet choice but the gun is very capable.

    Double Rifle suggestions for a first double rifle?

    Ive seen good doubles get beat up. Its not always the manufacturers deficiencies or a design flaw. Just load em a bit hotter and they can all be loosened

    Double Rifle suggestions for a first double rifle?

    My VC was hard to make shoot well. First i had to buy some hornady 400gr solids and bonded softs. Then i shot em. Done.

    Stopped by Holland & Holland today

    I watched a relative of a friend spend right at one mil on a matched very very ornate set of holland and holland rifles at a show. Bid on em and felt he got a good deal.

    Any of you stop a charge with a handgun?

    This i find interesting. Not sure i ever thought we implied spraying bullets was what we do with revolvers.

    Any of you stop a charge with a handgun?

    One was but we were in an area that would make recovery very very difficult. It was a very very aggressive old bull. We were on a rock he couldnt get up to and he ran up and was putting his head on the rock trying to get at us then ran off. I shot him about 400 yards further down the path...

    Any of you stop a charge with a handgun?

    Yeah. Doesnt go near as deep as a wfn/lfn solid and doesnt do near as much damage as an aframe or barnes so i dont use em. Not great at anything but ok at penetration and damage but it is neat to see the x shaped cut in the tissue.

    Any of you stop a charge with a handgun?

    Yeah. We did it on large bovines. The monometals handily out penetrate the hardcast. Ran 500 gr hardcasts on one buff out of a bighorn 89 at 1825 fps, with 440 gr at 1725 fps and ceb 400’s at 1760 fps. Both hard casts were on the offside shoulder on the hide. The cebs cut through and kicked...
