Good morning all. I do wish that they had all made it home, but many thousands of them did not. May God bless their souls. Guy

My 375 H&H in Africa back when John Barsness owned it. I'm sure he took that buffalo with a 300 grain Nosler Partition, however he took a second shot to drop the fleeing buffalo - with a different and larger bore rifle. I've got the details somewhere. He does give the 300 gr Partition credit for...

I haven't slain any great number of coyotes over the years. Some. Farthest was about 420 yards with my deer load from the 25-06, a 115 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip at 3150 fps. Zeroed the 6x scope (simple duplex crosshairs) at 300 yards. I don't recall missing any coyotes with this setup, though I...

I had older officers do really well by using their reading glasses, so they could focus on their front sight. Like near-perfect score well. Of course they didn't go out on patrol with their reading glasses on, so that was a potential problem. Guy

Lentil soup? My only memory of lentil soup is coming back to camp after climbing El Piacho Del Diablo in Baja California... A 10,000' peak that takes a couple of days of hiking rough country, then a day to summit... We got back to camp and the woman who was tasked with dinner that night (we...

I liked this from Sierra about the 150 GameKing: "Good penetration and expansion are characteristic of these bullets even at the reduced impact velocities at long range. With the weight range available, at least one of these bullets will prove ideal for almost any 30 caliber cartridge. The 150...

Seems like he was a mighty fine man, and I'm sure you've followed in his footsteps. God bless - a good friend and mentor is tough to lose. Guy

Woo Hoo! Congrats on that fine spring bear. :)

Whenever folks say that the 6.5 Creedmoor isn't adequate for deer... I think about all the deer my son and I have taken with a 95 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip from the 6mm Remington or a 100-115 gr bullet from a 25-06 rifle... the Creedmoor uses a considerably bigger bullet than either of those...

Early version of the Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot round.... ;)

They're pretty similar. Why choose one above the other for heavier game at modest range? I don't have one of either. Which do you prefer and why? Thanks! Guy

Cool. I've got that same scope on my 6.5 Creed Bergara. It's really nice! That should prove to be a wonderful rifle & scope combo. Regards, Guy

I suspect that like the 6mm and 6.5 Creedmoor cartridges, it's going to need a minimum of 1:8 twist. Hornady will likely list that on their product page sometime soon. The 128 gr ELD-X page isn't even up on their site yet. Guy

Okay, I was kidding by only listing the 30-06, but I did eventually come to the realization that Dad was right back in the 1970's when he told me that the only rifle a fellow really needed was a good 30-06... I take it that we're talking deer sized game and up. 50 traditional cap lock muzzle...

30-06 ;)

Interesting! Have fun with the planning/prep, and enjoy the hunt. Guy

Wonderful!

Cool! How did the Henry 45 Colt do?

Congrats! I'm glad that you and your son were able to get it done with lever action rifles. Guy

Best of luck! What is your choice of shells for the little .410 and turkey? Guy
