I think there are still a few...as I recall SCI used to be based here, and Safar Press is still here. Several SCI chapters still active.

It's deja Vu all over again, lol.

Ruger No. 1 is always an excellent addition. This one appears to be a fine rifle, indeed.

It's deja vu all over again...

My condolences. May your happy memories softer the sadness of your loss, and knowing Savannah is not suffering but waiting. God bless.

Great question. I would also like to know if there have been any issues with the Garmin dog trackers, GPS/GLONASS. I look forward to hearing from the PHs on this thread. Thanks.

Agreed. While I have note been on Safari yet, I use an Inreach when in the 'bad lands' where there is no infrastructure. Emails and texts, which can include a link to your precise location, and a fast SOS emergency link that can be configured to notify anyone, including whatever emergency evac...

Weight retention, deformation, penetration, and I am wondering...was that bird shot solid, bonded, expanding...oh, wait, sorry, wrong forum...

And there are still other options available for those who purchase ammunition rather than, or in addition to, handloading: http://www.doubletapammo.net/index.php?route=product/category&path=128_427

Yes, let's move on. This thread came to a fork in the road quite some time ago: 1) opinions on Hornady bullets, ammo, hunters and 2) opinions on how various bullets should perform under various circumstances. Let's move on to No. 2 under a new thread as I have retired from the stick...

Thank you, Gizmo...and I agree that ActionBob had a couple of different hunters in mind with his latest spew and since I do reload some, and am not a paid hack, I figured I knew who he was 'targeting.' This site has become an important resources for me, as I am certain it has been for many of...

Thanks to ActionBob just buying up my entire inventory of sticks, I can now afford to go on Safari with my 458 Win Mag, 460 Weatherby Mag and, oh yeah, my POS 416 Ruger. My original question, ActionBob, was an honest one seeking honest answers from ethical, experienced, hunters, particularly...

With my tongue firmly planted in my cheek... I have decided to quit my job and go into business selling sticks with which to beat dead horses... I am going to make a fortune!

Fantastic idea! May help get the next generation off the latest video game and away from the microwave and give them a 'hunger' for real adventure!

Lol! I had the opportunity to fire a flintlock at the range a couple of years ago. Nice!

Ok so now I am laughing so hard I can't see straight!

Thank you Royal27 for your input, and in particular your challenge to find the answers here (AH) and elsewhere to enable me to make an informed decision... Actually, that is what led me here initially, perhaps you missed my earlier posts regarding that as well as the seriousness with which I...

CAustin, you got me laughing over here! Can't argue with that result,lol!

CT Dolan, To my knowledge, also, they are loading the 375 Ruger, not the necked up 416 Ruger.

....uh, is this where I am supposed to genuflect?... All kidding aside, your input is appreciated ActionBob, albeit couched in a bit of sarcasm. I come seeking wisdom, not voices chiming back what I want to hear. I freely admit that I am a relatively newcomer and I have found, like in many...

CAustin- Thank you, impressive Ele. I now have a Ruger Hawkeye African and have found it much easier on the old shoulder than the 458. It is limited to the 416 Ruger round made by Hornady. I have only used the solids so far but have been happy with them. I never head out without already...

Velo Dog, typo abounds in my reply, lol. I meant, "... written so well...." not, "... written so we'll...". Oops

Velo Dog, I thoroughly enjoyed the recount of your hunt, informative, yes, but written so we'll I felt like I was right there!

Wow, Thank you all, especially thanks for the link to that thread. While I have also had good results with the solids, I had planned to follow up with or try the DGX but the thread linked above with pics have convinced me. The 416 Ruger stays home when it's DG time, ol' faithfuls will be...

Thanks mdwest. Sounds like you had a good hunt. Yeah, I have seen the Barnes come out the other side exactly as advertised. With the 416 Ruger being manufactured only by Hornady, I am thinking that I could probably handload other rounds into the same case, experiment a bit...but given that...

I remember years ago choosing not to use Hornady, and at the time Barnes was to go-to, both for bullets and ammo (when not handloading.). Since things changed at Hornady, I decided to give them a try (bullets and ammo) and have been pleased. I see from old Post (years old) and new posts (days...

I will chalk it up to my inexperience, and defer to those experts here; putting aside handloading as the best option for accuracy and cost, which it is; as far as factory loads, I have been satisfied with Hornady since their recent improvements, more than other factory loads such as Barnes (DG)...

I handload for target shooting and friendly competition, as I have found it to be the best way to ensure the best and most consistent results...but when it comes to DG hunting calibers, I do not bother reloading, I only use factory loaded Hornady ammo.

Yeah, let's not mention that SIG AR again, not here, lol. But you're good to go, a nice collection.

I vote for photo no. 1.... What's a hunt without dogs? Gotta have dogs.
