I agree Fotis of the lack of high BC .416 hunting bullets. Cutting Edge does have a 340gr single feed option or you’re looking at target bullets. I do like the Hornady 500gr A-tip in my 416 Wby. It’s still sable to 600yds. The buck in my avatar was shot with one. With a 32” barrel I’m thinking...

I recently received some 250gr T-Rex .375 bullets I got off of GB. I bought them at a good price to fire form my 378 Wby brass when I get my rifle completed. They look like they might do some serious damage on game when they open up. With 3 long cuts to aid expansion , I might have try them out...

You are correct Guy and lack of a secured perimeter again allowing rooftop shooter is unbelievable especially what has happened in the past year.

I feel your pain. I had high hope on this year’s bear season and so far it’s a bust. When I started baiting I have 4 different bear coming in and they were eating me dry. Starting in mid August they pulled up shop. Now I’m lucky to get one hit a week. With only a 40 acre woods there isn’t a lot...

I really became fond of the 416 Wby and 350gr TTSX. This combo has filled the freezer for several years. I like rotating firearms to give each one an opportunity to evaluate their performance.

Can’t argue with those results , that big bore is ready for a hunt.

Congrats to a 1/2 century mark.

If you don’t mind a single feed bullet. https://cuttingedgebullets.com/products/323-225gr-single-feed-mth?variant=46774562160938

It’s odd that it affected the bolt more. I’m guessing something is off-gassing in your safe causing it. Does the rust clean up or is it etched in?

ES of 85 in a 308 Win is possibly an 2gr variable. I’d be taking a close look at my scale.

Maybe a back-up to the back-up?😉

Growing up we had one of those 5lb 12ga for pigeon control on the farm. It toughen you up in a hurry😉

Years ago I bought a bunch of Alliant’s Black MZ for $9.99/pound from SW. It’s not greatest black powder sub but it sure beats $240 pound powder.

Sweet rig. Sure nice when a load like that repeats itself.

I also use a small magnet to gather up the few that get away when rinsing the brass off in the sink.
