    Leica Geovid Rangefinder Binos

    I have a Leica rangefinder that I have had for a number of years. Had good luck with them so far. I was looking at buying rangefinder binoculars and was wondering if anyone has experience with the Leica Geovids and what you think of them. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Remington primers

    I have been using Remington primers since I started reloading 30 years ago. They don’t seem very popular from what I read. I only have a few thousand left. When they are gone what would be the best primer to use. Assuming the supply is there. Thanks

    9.3?

    You guys gave me a fun thought. A 9.3-8mm, 9.3-375 Weatherby, or 9.3-375 H&H improved. Whatever name you choose. I’ll have to decide if I’m really going off the deep end.

    9.3?

    It isn’t anxiety or stress. It is entertainment. To try something off the beaten path.

    9.3?

    I’ll have to take a look at that at first glance looks very interesting. Thanks

    9.3?

    It’s purpose wouldn’t primarily be Africa. That would be if I wanted to play with something a little different over there. I have other rifles for that. The only hole I have in my arsenal is between 300 Win. and 375 H&H. I have thought about a 338 of some flavor. But found it silly to build a...

    9.3?

    I am thinking about building a new rifle. I was thinking about a .338 caliber or a .358 caliber. But would like to be able to use it in Africa for big game if the bug would want to try something a little different there. So I was wondering if there is a 9.3 out there that is a little zippier...

    Water proof boots

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but not sure where else to put it, so any help would be appreciated. A few weeks ago I bought a pair of boots. I love them they fit like a glove. I came across the box and was going to toss it and noticed that the box didn’t say water proof. I...

    Advice on Cleaning Brass

    Hey All, I usually don’t clean my brass, usually I wipe it down really well after I resize it, but if it’s excessively dirty I toss it. While we were in Africa last year our dehumidifier stopped working and a couple rooms, including my reloading room got very humid, so I have several 5...

    308 Federal black pack

    Hi all. I was wondering if any of you have any experience with the fed. 308 150 gr. PSP black pack. I generally shoot the blue box fed. ammo for small game and practice. I have found very few rifles that won’t give at least acceptable groups with these. A couple of the local gun shops have...

    Disgrunted with Nosler Ammunition

    Not sure what the rest of you have seen, but from the ammo that I have chronographed it seems Barnes is pretty close to what the box says.

    .270 conversion to .338-06

    How does the 375 Whelen AI compare in velocity to the 9.3x62? I always thought this would be a fun caliber to fiddle with. Thanks for any input. [emoji16]

    Barnes TSX vs. TTSX

    I have used both a fair amount from 243 to the 416 Rigby. I feel that the TTSX definitely opens faster. The only real failure that I have had is the 130g TSX in 270 win. One fall I shot 4 whitetails and a coyote on a trip to South Dakota. 3 of the deer and the coyote were shot on the run. The...

    375 Barnes solids

    I always take a few solids in the chance of shooting something really small or really big [emoji854]. Don’t plan to use them on the buff. Just didn’t want to make a book out of short question. I think I will try the woodleigh hydro. They cost a bunch but shouldn’t take to many to make up a...

    375 Barnes solids

    I have been away from the Africa fever for a bit. This summer my wife and I are going to see if we can put a buff on the wall. In the past I used Barnes 350 grain solids in my Rum. I see that they don’t list them anymore but they list the other DG calibers. Does anyone know where I can find...
