Ive got a box or two of the old 7mm Win Fail Safe bullets. Not sure that I'll ever use them but don't want to sell or trade them either

Yes sir my friend. That looks like a stress reliever whether hunting or not. Enjoy your time.

With jaded negativity, Well "ain't" that just great!! Im open to being proven wrong!

Congrats..... Those 250 XTP's are devastating..

Thank the Lord no one was hurt badly. I think of this Bible verse when I hear things like this: Proverbs 21 "The horse is prepared against the day of battle; but safety is of the Lord"

The 280 is my favorite. Ive had my 280 Rem for 31 yrs and have killed a dump truck load of deer with it. Mine will shoot just about anything you feed it.

I'd have a hard time shooting out of that shed due to the view! That's awesome! On a different note, how many walnuts do you get off those trees?

That's what Im talking about! They'll talk about this for the rest of their lives! These "youngsters" are the future of hunting. Thank the Lord that they are those that are introducing this to our youth.

The SST is one of my favorite bullets. The early years of the SST are kinda like the early years of the Nosler Ballistic Tip, cussed, discussed and often maligned. However, just like Nosler, Hornady made some slight adjustments to the SST and its a really great bullet today. As with any cup...

I can't answer that question. I also know that ballistic gel isn't the same as animal tissue and bone however, it does give us a predictable medium of expected expansion, now whether or not we get that expected expansion is another question

No fires but had a hot, dry Summer in my neck of the woods as well. Many days of 96, 97, 98 degrees with the real feel around 108, 109. Absolutely brutal. It has cooled off a great deal. This past weekend we had the "leftovers" of that Hurricane that came through the Gulf of America. Had 6...

Here's a video from a guy that test different bullets. I watch him from time to time.

Looks like you're ready to go! I've always wanted to hunt a Kudu and Eland. I know a guy that's been on several plains game hunts. He's got Eland and Kudu, among other animals. That Eland is huge.

Nice hunt! Congrats

Muzzle-loader season opened in my neck of the woods Oct 1. Went this morning and after seeing a couple deer earlier this buck came through eating water oak acorns about 10:30 this morning. A 300 gr Scorpion PT Gold ended it for him at 30 yds. These bullets are devastating!
