Can it be re-lined

I've been playing with CEB's 175gr ESP Raptor in my Win .338 leaving the gun at 3200fps. Have shot a handful of Boar plus 2 Elk Cows, they are devastating One Cow shot broadside a little over 100 yards jumped at the shot then stood and quivered for a minute or so then fell over backwards when...

What does it take to get CEB to turn a new batch ??

I've shot 2 Black Bear one and done with a 375H&H one with a 250gr AccuBond the other with a CEB 235gr Tipped Raptor

Iron Sights and 100yards... the last African animal I shot beyond 50yards with Iron sights was a Wildebeest at a paced 100yards with my 450NE ... Believe me a Wildebeest at 100yards is a whole lot bigger than an 8" pie plate you can see muscle, bone and hair

I will politely disagree with your statement on opportunities to hunt with a 577 .. Anything on your menu out to a comfortable 100yards should be fair game for a 577 and Iron sights

Have shot numerous game dangerous and not so with CEB Safari Raptors, Solids and their Tipped Raptors with great success.. My go to Safari Rifle is a Gibbs 450 NE made in 1903. CEB makes a .457dia 480gr Solid and 450gr Raptor that shoots pretty much to same POA POI and according to a study done...

Working up a load for the 200gr Tipped Raptor for my 9.3 any chance you can pm me the load you're using Thanks

Wicked.... Which ... 32..?

My 505 built on a GMA action and 24" Kreiger Barrel weighs in at 11#s empty 11.5 loaded ... One Standing rear sight filed in for 30 yards with 525gr CEB Solids and 485gr Raptors No flip up sights as one may pop up under recoil when you don't need it

I am also Left Handed and pretty finicky about gun fit .. Ask about ... A good Smith can Bend the stock and give you the cast you need ..

From the Speer Web Site ... the 9.3 is a slightly larger case than the 35 Whelen with the 200 FB Tipped Raptor you should be able to achieve at least 2800fps

If you are embarking on this DR journey, before you load your first cartridge purchase a copy of Graeme Wright's "Shooting the British Double" it is just short of the Bible for all things Double Rifle, Shooting and Reloading.. with loads, pressure data and the hows and whys of creating an...

How does she shoot ... What does it weigh ...
