Is that YOU in that photo, Jim?!?

:shock: He's much more of a man than I am! :lol: Congratulations all the way around on your success, Fotis

Thanks fellas. I wanted to go check my cameras this past weekend but couldn't get away to the camp. I plan to go down this weekend because I know the batteries will need changing. I'll post most pics if I've got some new deer on them. We've got 2000 acres with about 80% hardwoods and 10...

Scotty - You've now got me wanting to sell my Leup 2.5-8x36! I just need to make sure there are no marks on it so I can put it on the market.

:shock: What an amazing list of animals you took! Congratulations on a fantastic safari!

Burris makes rings for the Ruger I believe. You may want to check the Leupold website as they have a chart online that gives the rings to match the rifle.

Got it now, Noel!! It all just hit me and I've been doing the measuring wrong. :oops: Thank you for making the light come on.

Wow! Nice and tall mulie! I know you are proud of him and thank you for sharing the photos with us!

Thanks, Noel. I'll give that a try. ET, I check each piece of brass for consistency in length. I use an RCBS Rock Chucker press and I can get full cam over. I'll double check everything else but I suspect a part of my problem is the various lengths in bullets...especially in the lead tipped...

There are some big deer in the black belt region south of Montgomery! You should have a great time that opening weekend! When I saw the pictures, my first thought was "I wish he was a year or two older". He'd be super nice in another 2-3 years! I've got a couple of bucks on another camera but...

I'm a crappy reloader suppose. :grin: I'm lucky if I can get my OAL to stay within .010 - .030 of each round. For example, if I want a 3.320 OAL my loaded rounds are usually wind up like 3.320, next will be 3.317, next will be 3.323, etc. No matter what I do I can never get every bullet to be...

Finally got my two game cameras set out a couple of weeks ago and checked them today. It took this guy a week to find the chum but he was sure loving the food the last week. Nice 8 pt (4x4) for the westerners still in velvet. Here are a couple of pics of him. I had a button buck, a spike, does...

Thank you for the report, details, and photos, Guy!! Here is to hoping the next adventure produces meat for you and your son!

That is just too cool, Scotty!! :grin:

Awesome!! Thanks for the information but is it the H4350 or IMR4350? I know they are close to the same but knowing which one specifically would help. :)

This is the exact method I use. I figure the center of the POI is the best place to measure from.

After reading this I'm liking my decision to go with the 140gr PT in my .280. Thanks to Mike, I have some very good QL info to work with!!

Thank you, Mike! (and Scotty). I don't have my reload books with me right now but I will have them this weekend. I'll shoot you a PM, Mike, if that is ok? I'd like you to run a couple of QL's for me and my .280 with the 140 PT. I'm shooting the 22" barrel Ruger M77. Thanks!!!

Looks like the .284 140PT has a BC of .434 and the .270 140PT has a BC of .432. I guess I am still confused. :oops: I guess the easiest way to do it is to just keep adding powder in my .280 until I get signs of over pressure? Sorry for stealing time in Greg's thread.....

Russ - I have to ask....how did you travel to Africa from Hawaii?? I bet it was a LONG trip!! :grin: Folks talk about the long flight from Atlanta to SA or from DC to SA but I bet your trip was a real doozy!
