Yes, very good.

Gotta find a 378 bee pic I just got from a friend, found it but I was wrong, a 375 pic. Don’t know this fella, his group arrived just before I left. I did bump into the buff however a couple of days earlier. Not sure how his nose got in the way.

I’ll need to pay attention when next I need some. I was in my LGS yesterday, noticed an apparent change to the cans of Kroil on the self. Didn’t think about that until now.

There are a number of rifles of nostalgic significance I have sold over the years. Most I wish I had hung onto. Glad you were able to get the 243 back.

Welcome aboard Can’t speak to the sauer specifically but I have loaded both bullets in a variety of 270s. Both bullets are very effective on blacktail deer and Roosevelt elk. For no logical reason I prefer using bonded bullets over monos but given the political winds in the Northwest I have...

I like football, use to anyway. I grew tired of the pros remained a great fan of college football and now with the current trends in college football, kinda giving up on that too. Regardless, we got nothing in this country that compares to Rugby in South Africa. Those folks are nuts. I had the...

I tried it in my 338 Jarrett, also came in around 2850. I couldn’t see a reason to give up the 250gr Accubond in my application. There is a significant body of evidence suggesting long heavy for caliber bullets at moderate velocity can be very effective. Currently thinking of K. Bell and his...

I asked my PH about the 7x57. Fantastic he said. Great cartridge. He thought I should bring my 7x57 and 375 next time. Probably will. I think that means I’ll be hunting Buffaloe and some plains game. :)

Discipline, training, practice regardless of cartridge or caliber become the three legged stool of the experienced hunter shooting effectively. The experienced hunter considers the shot going through the animal, the inexperienced hunter shoots at the surface he is given. What appears to be a...

That is a great story. Well done

Good lord, terrible news. Prayers offered.

Yep. Actually saw a guy with a 416 Remington shoot an impala through the guts. The tracker did actually find it but it went quite some distance. Also helped track an Impala shot through the guts with a 6.5 creedmore it went quite a ways. Quite a differnce between the two cartridges. I was...

I use to think it was an impossible dream as well. Like Vince I now wish I would have found a way earlier in life. The PHs I’ve met are just like most of us, they appreciate someone who worked hard to get there, approach the day with enthusiasm and see it as a great adventure. They will treat...

That is a really fine hog, guessing 10 inch tusks. I would have shot him in a heartbeat. Excellent.

Outstanding Vince. Way to get back on the horse.
