I have to drive about an hour and a half to get to a big bore range. Do it about every other week. Usuall shoot one of the 375 HH and alternate between a 416 Rigby and a 458 Lott. Shoot about 15 to 20 rounds from each. Will then shoot another lighter caliber or a rim fire.Mostly the rim fire for...

Well Grandson is now 46 yr old and I passed it at least 25 years ago. Smith at that time did a superb rebuild and I had the performance pkg included with rebuild. It was a gem to shoot. Trigger in both single and double action was without complaint.I passed the revolver as at the time...
Had one that came in a wood presentation case with accessory’s. Ran it hard and had it rebuilt by Smith. Finally passed on to a grandson.
Great revolver!
I believe the larger factor of fading DG rifles is the African hunting opportunity’s are diminishing. Time and public opinion will continue to make DG hunting less available and therefore costs even higher.
The way of the world today.
I believe most of the problem with PF is the Rem 700 extractor. Have had seveveral failures with it. Replaced with Sako extractor early M16 later. Never had issues after
Yes, I too, am in the reloading group. Never had a problem but do take extra steps to be sure all is well.
Pride in using your own ammo, little thing but little things add up to add to the enjoyment of the hunt.
I had a 1949 mod 70 in 375 HH that I used very hard over many years. Excellent service and now rests in the hands of my grandson. Bought a CZ 375 a couple of years from AHR. Do like the 5 down and with extractor mod d can have 6 in the rifle. Shoots groups about the same as the 70 and is a bit...
Have always found North Fork (Reloading International) to be helpful. They are in the buisness to stay has been my un associated opinion.
Good info but now would ask for the info on a 500 gr bullet in the 458 Lott.
Used Sledgehammers during a 2001 Cape Buff hunt. Shot two and both animals took two follow up shots before ending. Did not recover any of the bullets as were complete pass thrus. 458 Lott at. 2250fps.
Read that Federal made changes after that.
The needs are somewhat different you need a well bonded bullet for Cape Buff first shot then solids after that 0and for lion a quicker expander would be preferred. At least by me.Lionnes light frame would lead me to a traditional cut and core at around 2500 fps and 300gr.
To keep things simple I...
I had several 223 AIs where I fire formed all my own cases. Shot PDs every year for many years. Had 1500 cases for each 223 AI and ea year had to fire form new cases to maintain the 1500 level.I found accuracy as to group size to be similar but poi different enough to miss a dog at 250/300 yds...
