Love the fireplace to get warmed by after a cold day in the field! Have spent some time in wall tent camps... Was spoiled when I went guiding with my Dad and we stayed in the cabins the outfitter had in their territory. May get a small cabin set up in the territory by a small lake I like to...

I have always had good on-game performance with the Power Point bullets. I even have some of them .284" 150 gr for handloading that I'll try in the 280 Rem...unless I replace the 284 Win I sold with another Winchester Model 88.

Gotta love that minute of mosquito accuracy! :cool: Nicely done!

I also only look at the ballistics to 500 yards as that is how far our local range allows me to shoot. So this is what I practice to regularly to attain confidence and competence, and verify my POIs on my scoped rifle/ammo combos. After that, as a hunter first, I enjoy the hunt and the ability...

The other animal that has earned some more interest after the last trip, is the mountain reedbuck. The other hunter took a great old ram we spotted. Heard that they are awfully tasty too! 😄 Years ago, I made a list of animals that I would be interested in hunting in various African countries...

I forgot about my stash of Hornady .375 220 gr FP bullets for my 375 Win! Still need to load up a 100 or 200 rounds so I can take it out to play and hunt again! That rifle is just a lot of fun to shoot and to hunt bears with. :cool: HAven't used it much for several years as I lost a certain...

You just never know when you'll need them!!! 😄

It only takes a moment to change circumstances that directly affects life and lives! Most people are in such a rush for instant gratification today, and seem to have little appreciation for life anymore. And we tend to see this in younger people as they have not experienced enough life to truly...

Despite what the current fad/trend of long range shooting and hunting may lead one to believe, most elk are taken within 200 yards, not the 600 that seems to be what everyone is reporting today, even amongst the outfitters. I have taken over two dozen elk of my own over the years, with only two...

Wishing I had taken the opportunity to acquire a Freedom Arms revolver when I had the chance! ☹️ Although, I would have opted for a 41 Rem Mag.

Would have to say the Winchester Power Point bullets I have for: .284" 150 gr .375" 270 gr And: Trophy Bonded Tip: .277" 140 gr Speer Mag Tip" .416" 350 gr

"The only plains game I’m planning on is a Southern Greater Kudu" As they say, "the best laid plans of mice and men"... On your previous trips, how many additional animals did you take? I know I took two on my first trip; impala and warthog. On the second, bontebok. My next is planned for...

Always a good idea to take extra rifles to shoot during the same range day session. I always take 3 or more! (My range sessions are never quick, but take a few hours. Helps keep it relaxed) Allows rifles to cool adequately between groups, and you are not getting bored sitting around waiting...

And you know how it goes! While I will definitely take accuracy over velocity any day, I am always happier to achieve both! (And I did like my 7mm Rem Mag, and do not currently have one...) That being said, I definitely want to experiment to see if the rifle can achieve the potential that QL...

I am lucky that I have a good supply of powder in stock!
