Sounds like a great opportunity to use the legendary 375 H&H!!!

Understood. Depends on the outfitter and the property. From your message it sounds like their is plenty of opportunity to hunt truly wild animals on large properties. Definitely seems worth it if you can find the right scenario especially considering how difficult it is to draw big game tags...

As a more traditional hunting focused individual, I am very curious to learn as to how these private hunts on Texas ranches work (and Africa). I have only stalked deer on public land in Wisconsin. Does the outfitter/guide drive the clients up to the herd in an offroad vehicle and have them take...

I just feel a high level of excitement and sometimes relief (if I have been walking all day and if I am hungry for meat). I start thinking about the next chase and analyze the current kill thinking about what I could have done better, what went wrong, what was done right, and always try to learn...

Proof of how modern agriculture degrades the soil. Native grasses have deep well developed roots whereas modern GMO crops have very shallow roots providing almost no protection to the soil from erosion and flooding. Also, industrial agricultural crop varieties do not have the thick and dense...

I hope you read this with an open mind. Before I got into hunting and shooting sports and even though I knew about sustainable farming, I was extremely supportive of common farmers, even ones who industrially farm their land. I had the opinion that they were simply in the crutches of big...

Agreed. We don't know all the details of the study and the methods they used. The fact that all bullet coatings reduce velocity points to the fact that they do indeed reduce friction even if to a small degree. Many shooters seem to still be using Moly with good results even though it is...

There definitely seems to be benefit to coated bullets however the coatings may not behave exactly how we hypothesize they would under the extreme heat and pressure of a rifle barrel during firing so it may lead to an increase in net friction.

Many shooters like yourself report benefits to using Moly and WS2 and still continue to use it to this day. I think the study I gave the link to is looking at overall net friction in a closed system so it may not be the best data to reference. If they reduced copper fouling for you then wouldn't...

This https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADA568594.pdf study shows that HBN is the only bullet coating which reduced friction for all three bullet types. In some cases Moly and WS2 actually increased friction. Could it be that the high temperature and high pressure environment of a rifle barrel...
