I haven’t seen the difference in accuracy but I have seen a big difference in velocity-and velocity certainly affects accuracy. Have you just for fun, shot both over a chronograph?

A .30-30 marlin lever action with open sights and some round nose hornady ammunition. I also still have the antlers although I’m sure I don’t know why anymore. My daughters both killed bigger “first bucks” than mine! 7mm-08 Remington 700 and 120 gr federal fusion-her first deer. 7mm-08...

Had peaches and blackberries off my own plants today. Hope you can find those grouse again in a couple weeks, I bet even a spruce grouse in there somewhere!

For everything I check off, I add two more!:ROFLMAO:

Would think a .275 rigby and a proper bullet of 150 or 170 ish grains would be excellent! Ive never shot one but have read a lot of praise for them. I was surprised a bit how well the little 7 worked for me.

Maybe you can find a “donor rifle” and have it rebarreled to nosler33. Idk for sure if that would work or not but maybe it’s an option.

I’m home, have afew more stories to tell, just working up to it. Part of the success of the trip was that I only missed one shot on big game. Only two animals needed to be shot twice and one of them was really just insurance. All the others were well hit and died quickly and easily found. If...

Have you been able to find the ttsx in heavy weights or are you referring to the tsx?

I had expressed a desire to hunt an ostrich. I just wanted the experience, didn’t want any feathers or any taxidermy pieces and parts, just the hunt. My ph doesn’t have them in his properties and most ph’s hate them. They have spook easily and when they run they legitimately spook all the...

so anyway, -in the favor of the partition ( which I am still not). is a very good book called “One Man, One Rifle, One Land” by JY Jones. It is older but still available and is a worthy read

This is why I Don’t use partitions and didn’t shoot nosler bullets until the Accubond. Partitions come apart-and that base might end up anywhere. I suppose my opinion of what a bullet should behave like is more in line with the Accubond performance. And I’ve had good success with the ablr as...

Bones and organs and fat all used in everyday cooking. Ox tail soup made from eland was excellent

The A Frame broke a rib on the entrance and exit and stuck inside the off shoulder up against one of the big bones but did not break it. So it completed a pass through the rib cage taking heart and lungs as it went and damaged the far shoulder but didn’t quite make it to the skin. The bullet...

Late in the hunt my ph asked me if I would shoot a cow kudu to be sent to the butchery. We got on a herd of old and young kudu and as they crested a ridge in light brush he told me to take one of the lead cows. 380 yards and they were onto us! No time to set up and talk about it or lean on...

Either bullet will be outstanding. Far more important than the projectile is where you put that bullet in the first place. The other guy in my camp was shooting the eldx from a .300 wm and his son a 150 gr hot core from a .270. They both loved what they were slinging but they also made their...

Skinners kept the bullet for me but I didn’t get to see the damage-only that it broke a rib on the way in. -It retained 108 grains

Bushbuck often also have a white spot on their faces and that white chevron as well. My bushbuck has a very subdued yellow chevron. Not sure if that is from age, but it does seem to vary from animal to animal

We drove from Kramburg and the north camp back to the main lodge in about four hours. It was cold and the wind was miserable and we figured there was little hope in hunting, but that is why we were here. . . Most the game was of course in sheltered pockets, but we saw plenty and were having a...

Nyala cows share the nightly fire with us
