I am soon going to be adding a .257 Wby mag barrel for my R8. After doing a search, I see where the 100gr Barnes is pretty much the “universal“ choice. I have experience with the 110gr Nosler AB and 115gr Barnes TSX in the .257 Roberts and the 100gr TSX out of a .25/06. My question is: Does...

Before I get started, I want to give a shout out to @One Day..., @Philip Glass and @BeeMaa for answering my inquiries as well as a myriad of others who contributed to the various Blaser threads. I spent untold hours reading and rereading the threads. My fascination began in about 2004. My wife...

I did a search and couldn’t find the info I was looking for, so I hope this isn’t redundan. I have a question concerning which height rings would be appropriate using the Blaser scope mount. The low rings with a 30mm straight tube scope are self explanatory. My question concerns what height...

Just an FYI… I was just looking at Midsouth Shooters Suppy and they have Hornady brass for these rounds in stock.

For those of you looking for .375 Ruger ammo, Red River Reloading has some in stock. https://redriverreloading.com/ammo/centerfire-rifle-ammo/category/557-375-ruger-ammo.html

I’m considering a couple of scopes with the 1-8x magnification range. However, both are first focal plane. I know the difference between 1st and 2nd. I have looked at one of these ((Trijicon) and at 1x they look great, but as power is increased, the duplex gets really thick. All of my hunting...

Just an FYI, Graf and Sons has .375: 270, 300 and 350 gr TSX bullets in stock. Limit two boxes. https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/category/categoryId/930?

As great of round as the .375 H&H is, I’ve always thought the .375 Wby might be an even better choice. Same bullets. Due to it’s 100+ fps advantage, a slightly flatter trajectory and a little more energy. Couple those advantages with the ability to fire H&H ammo if needed, it sounds like it...

My taxidermist delivered my trophies from my 2018 hunt with @Jamy Traut Hunting Safaris . Zoran Saveski’s Highpoint Taxidermy out of Thornville, OH did the work and I’m thrilled with the results. This was my first time using him and it won’t be my last. I’m still waiting on my euro’s of an eland...

Yesterday was a tragic day. Mass shootings in Texas and Ohio. We all need to pray for the families of those hurt by these events. Why do people do this to each other? I heard the Lt Governor of Texas say that, I’m paraphrasing: We have always had guns, we’ve always had evil. But this was just...

For years I've used chronographs in developing loads. I had one where you shot one shot thru a pair of wire mesh screens. The bullet broke one circuit to start the clock and the second to stop it. Then you had to replace the screens. I then had, I actually still have, an early Shooting Chrony...

I came across these two articles concerning firearms sales. The first concerns slumping sales due to Trump being president (Although next year’s election may change things. Hopefully not.). I know the people on this forum are doing their best to keep gun shops in business. The second is how...

I just came across this article concerning elephant hunting in Botswana. https://www.wtrf.com/entertainment/botswana-hires-hollywood-firm-to-fight-elephant-hunting-pr/2024969841

I had my T/C Encore rifle at the range this week and it got me thinking: This with a couple of barrels might be a good option for PG. Say a .280 and 9.3x74R? Couple that with a Ruger #1 in .458 Lott for DG... a single shot safari. Have any of you taken an Encore to Africa? If so, what...

On my first safari, buffalo was my main objective, and I wanted whatever rifle I had in my hand to do the job. I took a .416 Ruger and a .375 H&H. My second safari was for plains game only, but included eland. I took a .338 RUM and a .30/06. I took the ‘06 not only for it’s versatility but its...

I just returned from a safari with Jamy Traut at his Panorama camp. My brother Bruce accompanied me as an observer / photographer. The trip began with a flight from Ohio to Atlanta and on to Johannesburg RSA. We overnighted at Africa Sky. I stayed there on my first safari in 2013. Excellent...
