There are other good options, but I chose this new production Winchester Model 70 Alaskan in 375 H&H. The Alaskan model has a lighter barrel contour than the Safari Express model despite that not being noted on Winchester's website. It gives the rifle handling qualities I prefer. The 1.5-5x...

Good shooting! I haven't seen any RL-15 in a long doggone time. :( However I've found that Varget works really well instead. And of course there's always good ol' H4350 which can shove a 300 gr bullet at 2500+ fps just fine. Guy

I've shot the 220's from the 308 with good success - but two rather different rifles: 24" 1:12 twist stabilized at full charge 16" 1:8 twist stabilized even at subsonic velocity I suspect that the 1:12 twist and the low subsonic velocity is just a bad combo for properly stabilizing the...

Great stuff! :)

Very cool. Gavin and I did that video in 2022 and soon afterwards both Washington state and Youtube became very unfriendly to full auto firearms... We haven't done any more work with those since. They were fun and interesting. I'd never had a desire for anything smaller than the 5.56/223...

Just... Wow! Congrats on quite a hunt. :) Guy

Okay, my camera, lenses and binos will go in my carry-on. Hopefully the 375 Model 70 makes it in checked baggage... Gulp! Guy

Thanks. It's a simple course of fire, many could do better than I did. Perhaps next time I'll do better! I'm celebrating 45 years with the 45 1911 now. We've had a good relationship. It was a little rocky the first time through, then I got determined to master the 1911... Have owned several...

Keeping them separate from the large primer brass is the only problem, and that's no big deal. I believe they are part of the "cleaner ammo" trend to keep indoor ranges a bit safer. Things changed to totally metal encapsulated bullets in some ammo. Speer/CCI as I recall. So the combo of...

It was held at the large Oklahoma City Gun Club, and I believe all the RSO's were active & retired OKC police officers. Everyone left with a hard wallet-sized card saying that they'd qualified. Oklahoma doesn't care what handgun is used, and it's not noted on the card. Just qualification and a...

Enjoy the hunt! :) Guy

Yes, the annual qualification get together is a really nice way to spend time with some old friends - and this year in my case to make some new ones. I enjoyed. Guy

Thanks for that report. Am very interested in the 45+P and 45 Super. Guy

Way to resurrect a 2024 thread @Busybell. Yes the Nosler Ballistic Tip continues to be a very effective general purpose hunting bullet. Accurate and lethal on game. Regards, Guy

Am torn between the 6mm Remington which I've been shooting since 1974... And the 7mm Remington Magnum which I've been shooting since 2000 or so. Both have done very well for me afield. Regards, Guy
