Thanks guys!

Get this one ready for hunting season. The scope is a Leopold 6x36 in Talley rings.

"Which of the animals you hunted proved to be most challenging?" Oryx. "If you return,what other animals that you have not hunted,would you like to hunt?" Eland and Cape buffalo.

Group shot this morning from the .450 Howell with iron sights after some adjustment.

Yes Guy,it is. Just for chuckles and grins,I ran the numbers and it is getting 4903 ft lbs of energy. Not to bad for a 450 grain bullet at a rather sedate velocity.

Interesting numbers Guy. IMO,the 6.5 Creedmoor is just a "modern" version of the 6.5x55 Swede. My question is,will the 6.5 Creedmoor be as popular as it is now in 112 years? ;)

JD338,I just chronographed 3 rounds of the 450 gr Barnes load and it is getting an average of 2215 fps. Not real hot,but if I wanted too,I could get up to about 2300 +/-.

Nice mule deer for the both of you,CONGRATS!

Will do! Going to put a Leopold 3x on the .450 when the Warne ring mounts come in,hoping Friday or Saturday. Then I'll take it out and sight in the iron sights and then the scope. Bought a gunsmithing punch and hammer set to move the rear sights. The Warme's are not the QD style cause I have...

9x57 Mauser

Used a 500 grain Hornady DGX,the muzzle velocity was @ 2000 fps and the rabbit was about 100 yards away.

GeorgeS,how about a .460 Wby and a jackrabbit? ;)

Do not know how fast the bullet is going. Afraid of hitting the chronograph. ;) It is for a cape buffalo hunt in the near future. Going to try the 500 grain NP and SAF along with the 450 grain SAF in it when funds allow it. Could adjust the rear sight,but would rather save my shoulder instead...

This is my .450 Howell on a CZ 550 action. The little case next to the loaded .450 is a 7x57. The bullet is the .458" 450 grain Barnes TSX,powder is Benchmark (74.0 grains) and a CCI 250 Mag primer. Picture of the rifle. Going to put a Leupold 1.5x5 on it in the future. 50 yards with iron...

This morning. .257 Roberts,Leupold 3-9x,Sierra 100 grain Pro Hunter.

Not hunting pictures,but figured some here would like to see these. These pictures are from the Bosque de Apache National Wildlife Refuge,which is south of Soccoro,New Mexico. Sandhill cranes in a corn field. Mule deer buck. Sandhill cranes with snow geese.

Black bear,hunted them twice with dogs on a reservation in Arizona and never pulled the trigger. Had fun looking at the country,seeing elk,deer and turkeys and the best part was listening to the dogs chasing bears that would not tree.

DrMike,no I don't practice on running rabbits. I should,but most of the time I miss them and it's fun sneaking up on the bunnies. Guy,that stock is straight from Weatherby Custom Shop. All .460's (IIRC) are made in the custom shop. By the way,it was made in 1986. Also,that load I used on the...

Whitetail deer HA! Try jackrabbits and cottontails. With a 1-4x Leupold.

Congrats to Sue!
