    7mm Rem Mag

    I’m planning to take my 7 REM Mag to RSA this June. It shoots 175 Partitions very well, so that’s my planned load for plains game.

    What binoculars do you use while on Safari?

    Leupold BX4 8x42’s went with me on my most recent trip to Limpopo. I had no complaints at all, and plan to take them again this year.

    300 WM guidance for plains game - powder and bullet size

    With a mono-metal bullet such as a TTSX or E-Tip, 165,168, or even 180 grains would work great in a 300 WM. With a lead core bullet, 180-200 grains is the way to go. I used 200 grain partitions in my 300 this year to take 7 species of plains game up to and including Eland, and they worked...

    300 WSM, 300 WM, or 300 PRC for Freestate Plains Game

    .300 Win Mag gets my vote. I own that as well as a .300 WSM. They’re both fine cartridges, but the ammo and component availability alone would lead me to choose the Win Mag.

    Why 180gr over 200+gr in 30.06?

    I agree with trying a variety and seeing what your particular rifle likes. I tried to get 200gr Partitions to shoot well from my .30-06 Tikka, but never found a load I was happy with. However, the same rifle will stack 180gr Partitions into nearly the same hole. The 180’s will be going with...

    Winchester XPR's in 338 Win Mag?

    I bought an XPR for my daughter in .243. We are very pleased with it, and I consider them a significant step up from other “entry” rifles like the Ruger American, Savage Axis, etc.

    Debate time: .308 vs .270

    .270 for me. I have 2 myself and just bought one for my daughter (M70 EW). I have 0 .308’s, though I have used them in the past for boar. I think the 150 Partition from a .270 is an excellent combination when it comes to trajectory, recoil, penetration, etc. Its an excellent all-around...

    Survey: Your Favorite .30 Caliber

    .30-06 for me. I also own .300 WSM, Win Mag, and Weatheby Mag, so I guess I’m just a .308 cal fan!!

    Thinking about a new .30—06

    I’d go with the Model 70 Extreme Weather. All 3 of your choices are nice guns, and I have at least 1 of each. The Model 70 is the pick of the litter though, in my opinion.
