100/200 BR or 600/1000 BR? The word, "Budget" and the word, "Benchrest" do not belong in the same sentence 😇 I would look for a used benchrest rifle on Accurate Shooter forum or go to some BR matches, and you will likely find some there. It will be the closest thing to "Budget" you will find...

How many here have 16"-16.5" (Even 17" info appreciated) 6.5 PRC's, shooting 130-140 grain bullets? With these bullet weights in mind, I am considering H-4350, H-4831sc and RL 26. Actual velocities with the brass/powder/bullet combinations you have would be appreciated. I have all three of the...

Thank you. For reference below, here is some actual MV's on various 6.5-284's. I used to have a 15" (Krieger 8T) 6.5-284, that ran 130 Berger's at 2700 fps. 17" 6.5-284 usually runs 140's from around 2665 to 2750 fps. The two fastest 17" 6.5-284's ran 140's at 2750 and 2785 feet per second. All...

Wow, I doubt I will ever use a rimfire cartridge on big game. I have never used a shotgun on big game either

I would do a Whelen, just because....It is simple as that. I would usually have a number of reasons for a choice. The only reason I might do something different (Which won't apply to you), is that mine would be a in a XP-100, so a 35 WSM or SAUM would be more likely for me.

Glass is good When you put any technology in glass, you lose some quality, but I don’t feel disadvantaged.

My Binos read density altitude, then adjusts the drop chart within the optic

DA/Density Altitude for the technologies & Apps that use it, is the easiest. But I do it the other way as well. Then you have the actual drops on paper or steel, which is the reality in those moments, combined with the wind/& terrain features

I just wasn't paying attention. What bullet weight, and what MV with your 6.5-270 JDJ out of that 15" barrel?

True! I just glanced and saw 6.5 and JDJ (Should have read better)...I know the 6.5-270JDJ is a Encore only proposition.

On two different days this past week, I went out to Mac’s Gunworks to finish up a little bit of load development with one XP, but also to try different things from standing positions for a future South Africa hunt. It’s odd, how you can have something in your mind a certain way, and you only...

It is cool seeing those rifle cartridges in handguns? Contender and Encore?

Excellent B-Day Present!

Learned some things today... I will be using my smaller and lighter weight RRS tripod with my 10" carbon fiber plate for hunting in Africa. Center grips are out for standing shots with a tripod. I have one other trick I will try, that will use a bi-pod to help stabilize the center-grip design...

Going for some trophy Springbuck (springbok). They are so flighty...Like squirrels on crack. Going for the regular colored ones and the odd colored ones Impala I have always like the look of the impala. Then, I will hunt some of the animals in my package deal. A trophy Gemsbok or a exceptional...

South Africa Big Waters Safari Plains animals I have hunted with them before. True fair chase hunting. Spot and stalk and still hunting. No shooting from vehicles or blinds. You are going to cover a lot of ground each day. Large piece of property-See Below...

Good Stuff

And I expected you to say, 308 Winchester... 😇

I will. I am not sure who is really coming with me yet. Surgery's and life have pushed the time frame down the road. You want to come Guy? I have plenty of XP's (Thinking my 308 Winchester XP-100 for you), and you have some nice revolvers 😇
