Yeah, you're going to rot in AH bullet thread hell for that! LOL

Nobody seems to know for sure? I do know, heavier projectiles TEND to create more FELT recoil in a given cartridge. ALTHOUGH, a factory 450gr. Barnes TSX in my CZ .458WM FEELS "snappier" than a factory 500gr. Nosler Partition in my CZ Lott? Barnes loaded hotter than the Partition? Who knows? I...

Reloaded 400gr. Barnes originals under 70.5gr. RL15 in the Taylor versus FACTORY Hornady 400gr. DGS in the Rigby. I haven't reloaded for the Rigby yet. I need to BUY some TIME somewhere. LOL The Barnes are probably loaded hotter but the rifle weighs 2lbs. more also? That's only a medium load in...

Well, the V Max IS a varmint bullet and probably a prairie dog sized varmint designed bullet anyway? I've only used them in my .22-250 on prairie dogs and they do well. HOWEVER, due to extenuating circumstances, the first African game animal I shot was a cull impala with my PH's well worn Howa...

My Taylor is TAME in an 8.5lb unscoped Whitworth compared to my scoped CZ 10.5lb Rigby? Go figure? I think it's the massive powder charge in the Rigby, but I don't really know?

I'd like to see the results of that test too. With a video of the testing posted on here. LOL

I’ve actually shot all of my elk here with my Browning A Bolt .338WM with 225gr. Core Lokts. Until I became an AH member a few years ago and started reading all the bullet threads, I didn’t know the Core Lokts don’t work on game. Especially in Africa. I should have known better. LOL

F4U Corsair! One of my favorites.

And he was a member on here since June 2022. Long term scammer I guess.

Welcome to AH!

Wow! That is crazy! I’ll bet a lot of those crashes are fatal to both riders and spectators.

Lockeed Constellation. First commercial airliner with a pressurized cabin. Still flown by Zimbabwe Airways. LOL

I saw that too on my one African hunt. Different PHs all had different boots. My PH was a young guy and wore 6" zip up boots and shorts. No gaiters. Functional. That's probably what he could afford as the same for MOST of us. I wore a pair of Vasque hiking boots that I already had with 5-11...

Nice hunt report and trophies. Congrats and thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

I believe it's just outside of Minden?

Oh, she'd cry if she saw the email receipts for the ammo and firearms I've bought. LOL

+1. I've taken one pronghorn here with my .270 at about 250yds and one elk at about 150 yds with my .338. Everything else has been much closer and ALL just using my sling as support and a couple of times on my knees and/or sitting. On my one African PG Safari, I took an impala at a confirmed...

+1. I may be mistaken, but I believe he was a 9.3x64 aficionado?

Awe, get a dirt bike Ontario and ride the trails and be somebody. You only have to go as fast as you want, you won't hit a deer and won't get run over by a car. I have a 2003 Yamaha TTR 250 that I still enjoy riding on the forest trails. I see a lot of wildlife too when riding.

ABSOLUTELY agree with you. ALL of our, EU and seized funds need to go into specific accounts for Ukranian MILITARY purposes and under strict accountability and audit protocols. Actually, a good portion of the seized funds should go to the countries manufacturing the weapons of war for Ukraine...

Barnes just changed box design. It's good stuff. Shoot 'em up!

And furthermore IMO, the Iranian and Russian seized and frozen assets need to go towards this end. AND, I DON'T want to hear about International rules, laws, etc., because none of them are any longer enforceable since Russia illegally seized Crimea and China illegally built and militarized...

I agree. The money has to go to specific MILITARY categories (needs) and must be verified and audited.

With no US, EU or NATO troops fighting in Ukraine and not some 100K+US troops and the equivalent of combined other countries PLUS all the arms, armor, combat aircraft, ordnance, etc., staged FOREVER (remember the Cold War) on the now Russian border with Eastern Europe and spending hundreds of...

I think part (most) of Brandon's brain was eaten by cannibals! Or maybe it was a brain eating amoeba from all the ice cream he eats? Either way he's braindead and needs to go.

Very nice rifle at a very fair price and in my favorite cartridge. The .338 WINCHESTER MAGNUM cartridge IS becoming more and more difficult to find in good rifles. GLWS!

I thought it was about buying more firearms and trying to keep it from his wife? I'd drive that bike like I stole it! It would be safer than telling MY wife. LOL I do miss my '79 Yamaha XS 1100 sometimes. No fairing, shaft drive, just fast and fun for its era. I also had a '79 Yamaha 650 Special...

Welcome to AH! Don't let "there's no good reason" to buy a rifle stop you from buying another one. The enablers here will help you with that. LOL

I stood at the field of Pickett's charge. It wasn't under till and I believe it was a cornfield when he charged but I may be mistaken. I thought, what was he thinking? If the Confederates had better intelligence, they could have overwhelmed the Union troops defending Little Round Top and won the...

Yes. Soldiers throughout the world fought (and still fight) and many died to rid the World of tyranny so we may live in peace and prosper. The WW2 monument especially emphasizes that with all the countries involved in that war enshrined in granite as remembrance of what should never happen again.

Well, Townsend @Bob Nelson 35Whelen isn’t an engineer, but based on his velocities with his scientific experiments with the .35 Whelen cartridge, I’m sure HE could do the calculations that would be required. Just saying.

When the wife and I are retired in the next year or so, I want to camp somewhere with our fifth wheel in that area and drive to different battle sites and WALK trails through the areas. I made it to Gettysburg for one day in the late ‘90s and I want to go back for a couple of days. Same with...

Second battle of the Marne?

My hunting buddy and his son have been using BLR ‘06 rifles with the 165gr. Sierra BTSP for many years and have shot pronghorn, deer, elk and one moose with them. They’ve used both handloads and Federal factory ammo.

We just got back from Washington, DC last night from our vacation there since last Tuesday. We went for the Cherry Blossom Festival. I've never been there before. The history was quite overwhelming and fantastic. I'm quite the amateur history buff and I was in heaven. We visited most of the...

Yes, I say target Iran's economic lifeline oil ports incremently if they continue supplying their proxy terrorists with missiles and drones. Take out the docks and pumps first and see what happens.

Does Israel have any ballistic missiles in their arsenal? I only see them attacking targets with aircraft.

Wow, that’s a LOT of empty cases. Must have been shooting African prairie dogs to have gone through that much ammo? LOL

The Bosch condenser coil for my home ac we had installed last May was made in China. Said so on the box it came in. Go figure.

During/after Covid it’s estimated some 2-3 million people who were employed then “retired ”. I’m sure many older workers lost their jobs or businesses due to the extended lockdowns so they left the workforce as retirement. 2 million other workers just left the employment roles and stopped...

We have a 3.8 percent unemployment rate because five million people left the labor force during/since Covid and aren’t looking for even ONE of the some ten million jobs available, so they aren’t counted as unemployed. Smoke and mirrors with the “official “ low unemployment rate.

I meant the large object with a handle to the left of the ferro rod. It’s not numbered?
