I have been wondering what the general consensus on here is about the lowly .308 Winchester? I have noticed that in the general gun writers opinions the .308 is a capable cartridge, but it is outdone by the .30-06, and the .30 Magnums! I’m the first one to realize that the .30-06 will add...

I, like so many others on here, are grateful for your knowledge of so many things firearms wise. I can say, that when I was shooting the ball 230 gr bullets, I didn’t find the recoil objectionable. I just needed to reacquaint myself to the fact that it was a little more recoil than expected...

Hey! Guy! For personal defense, what weight of bullet do you like in the .45 ACP? I like the inexpensive suggestion you mentioned. I will be doing a lot more hand loading for it here in the near future. After I got used to the recoil, I didn’t find it too bad. The regular 230 gr ball shot...

Here’s the extent of my Weatherby Vanguard rifles. I have a wood stocked one in .270 Win, and a black synthetic stocked one in .30-06! These aren’t the S2 version like my .308 above!

I’m interested to see what the velocities are too. It’s a 23 inch barrel. So it will be somewhere in the middle of your 20 inch and 24 inch barrels. I’m down close to sea level here. Now, if I were up in Wyoming, it would have higher velocities.

I tell you what guys! Y’all get me going down some rabbit holes and I’ve been reading up on the likes of Craig Boddington and other African hunters who have stretched the legs of their .375’s! I love to read, and love to read about my favorite calibers. I never knew that the .375’s are so...

That was an amazing post!

Guy! You never cease to awe and amaze me! That’s a great story. I never knew that a .375 could reach out like that. You and the others on here that have the experience with taking much farther shots than I expected is quite fascinating to me. I have a new respect for the .375 H&H, and the .375...

Is the 375 considered a mid to long range round? It peaks my interest as to how far y’all have taken game with your 375’s and above.

The 270 LRX would do well on anything I think. I would love to wallop a nilgai with this baby!

This is the kind of testimony I like to see. Coming from first hand experience. Thank you for imparting your knowledge, especially about the bullets. Greatly appreciated!

I can imagine there are some very big bruins in your neck of the woods Dr. Mike. I can see where larger caliber could be more advantageous in this matter.

It took me a while to get it all situated, but she’s done. I just need to get her out on the range and do final sighting. This is for the real big animals here in griz country and I hope to go to Africa at some point too.

Well, after owning this rifle for a couple of years now, I finally got her fully dressed. I love the heft of this rifle, and the 375 bore. This one will certainly put a thumping on any animal in the world. I’m attaching photos for all to see. Now, all I need to do is scrounge up some ammo or...

Thank you Guy for the suggestion. I do appreciate every time you have any feedback, especially about the 1911 platform and .45 ACP. I was going to personally ask you about the 230 gr Berry’s Hybrid bullets. Do you like 200 gr bullets too? But I will definitely look at 185’s and I know they are...

The shots that aren’t in the black were us getting acquainted with each other. I was figuring out her trigger pull and guessing where she may hit instead of just aiming at the middle of the target. After our proper introduction, and I getting acquainted, our session was much more productive...

I’m hoping as well. Time will tell.

Thank you! I do love the 1911 platform a lot. .45 ACP is a definite thumper. It is so accurate.

Howdy all! I wanted to let everyone know that I recently went to the range to sight in my new to me Taurus 1911. It comes in the tried and true .45 ACP. After figuring out where it was hitting, I decided to give it the run through and see how accurate it was. Let me tell you, anyone who poo...

Thank you very much
