    Reduced Load Questions

    Phil, Over the years, I have loaded every centerfire rifle I own with reduced loads. I started this with a .308 Win. when I began teaching my kids to shoot centerfires. Trail Boss is good, as is Accurate Arms 5744, SR4759 (there is still some to be had, my LGS still has ~10 bottles of it on...

    .223/5.56x45 ammunition question

    Pablo, I shifted to the .223/5.56 rifles as they allowed me to see my hits and a quicker second if needed. As the biggest critter on my place averages under 200lb, they work really well. When I'm roaming around my buddy's Deep South Texas ranch I'm just as likely to have my Sharps or my...

    I am glad to be here. If it were not for a close friend sending me this link I would have not discovered this wonderful place. I have never been to Africa, much less hunted there, but it has been a life-long dream of mine. I have hunted a lot of the North American game animals and have seen a...
