    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    ROTFLMFAO Thanks, I'd really like to have a 404 someday. My old 375 now has 1019 rounds through it, if I keep shooting I may wear it out in another 10 years or so.

    Practical Reloading

    Welcome to the fraternity of reloaders! First, while you need to play attention to what you're doing while hand loading it isn't rocket surgery. Don't try and over think it. Start with one brand of brass, one bullet and one type of powder and stay with it while you're figuring out basic...

    Who reloads.....and why?

    I have shot 50,000-70,000 rounds year with handguns and used my Dillon 1050 for that. I worked up a load that was accurate and cranked out 10's of thousands at a time. To me there is a big difference in precision rifle loads and accurate pistol loads and the way they are loaded.

    Who reloads.....and why?

    I started hand loading with a Lyman tong tool in the 60's because that was the only way I could afford to shoot. Then I discovered how much fun it was and how much I learned about shooting and ballistics from handloading. It's been an enjoyable pastime for the last 50 years or so. I know...

    10 Most Aggressive Animals in the World

    I agree with you on the Wolverine. Maybe a Boomslang, Krait or Australian brown (spelling?) would fit in the top ten? How about a scorned, gold digging, soon to be ex wife in divorce court?

    Trouble grouping .375 H&H

    A lot more info would be helpful, then you might get some good suggestions that would help you solve the problems you're having. Sestoppelman I agree with you. I've seen this on a lot of forums over the years ask a vague question and never add anymore to it. I have 2 Win model 70's in 375...

    Can someone explain the appeal of cigars

    So you have smoked everything else and now turn cigars into blunts and that's ok but not smoking and enjoying a nice cigar? Well maybe when you grow up you'll try one and enjoy it. With that in mind what do you think about a nice single malt or nice bottle of fine wine, still a waste and money...

    Sights/Optics .375 Holland & Holland Mauser

    There is a lot of good advice in the thread so far. Here's my $.02 I have 2 375's and both have Leupold VX-3 1 1/2-5 scopes on them. I like them so well if I had another 375 or bigger I'd buy another Leopold for it.

    The .41 magnum

    I had an 8 3/8" Model 57 in the 70's and 80's and liked shooting it and used to to hunt with. When my Ex went it followed her out the door along with 8-10 rifles. I sure miss that gun.

    I heard this very thing from a buddy of mine last week. I pointed out I didn't just start buying bullets, brass, powder and primers in Dec of 19. I had been buying my components for the last 45-50 years so of course I had a lot.

    My .375 H&H Load For Bull Elk

    I haven't used the 250gr bullets you're talking about. I have used the 235gr Barnes and killed 4 elk with them here in AZ, two were bulls and 2 were cows all one shot kills and did not recover any of the bullets. Unit 9, 7W and the Navajo Army depot for 2 of them.

    There are some really nice benches in here. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one here that loads ammo. Here's a few pics of my bench and bookcase in my gun room. I have 2 big safes in it and a 6' bench to work on and clean guns on the opposite wall from my bench. I use the closet for gun cases...

    Reloading

    LOL I used to think the same thing until I got tired of loading thousands of 45 ACP, 9MM and 10MM, sometimes fancy and progressive is good. I sure like my 2 Dillons for that along with 223. I load all my loads I'm working up and almost all my hunting rounds on my single stage presses.

    Reloading

    I've been hand loading since the 60's. I started with a Lyman tong tool and graduated to an RCBS Rock Chucker press in 1970 that I've loaded over 200,000 rounds on. I now have a couple of Dillon presses, another RockChucker and a RCBS Summit press along with a lot of stuff like scales, priming...

    Holster recommendation requested

    I know you said you planned carrying a Browning Hi-Power but my lightweight commander size 1911 is pretty close in size and weight so this is what I use to carry it. I've been daily carrying a lightweight commander size 1911 in a Lou Alessi inside the waistband holster for 12 years now and it's...

    Binocular suggestions

    Like some of you I've made some expensive mistakes with both rifle scopes and binoculars over the years. I have a couple of pairs of Bruntons that are ok and now spend time in my Willys and truck, a really nice set of Leupold Gold Ring 10X42's that are about 10 years old and work well and some...
