Awesome. I have the 150 gr BTs for developing a load in my 280 Rem. While it shoots the 140 gr AccuBonds to 1/2 MOA, I am using that bullet in the 7mm-08, and the 160 gr AccuBonds in my 7MM STW which shoots 1" groups at 300 yards, and the 7mm PRC is shooting 3/4" groups with the 170 gr TA, I...

I have ordered a 1:7.5 twist for my 25 CM for those middle weights in the heavier bullets as noted above, as I am a hunter, not a long distance target shooter. I will stick to the 110 gr in my 250 AI (identical case to the 25 CM) with its 1:10 twist barrel, and those 120-128 gr bullets in the 25...

While there many who have had great luck with their 257 Roberts with the 120 gr bullets, research when I acquired my 257 Roberts has showed that there are many who had problems with 117-120 gr bullets stabilizing in barrels with 1:10 twists (rebarreling to 1:9 twist resolved this issue for...

Walk softly...and carry a spare pair of moccasins! :LOL:

A group like that would keep me grinning for a long time! :D Congrats! Looks like you should have some great adventures in SA with that hand cannon! Looking forward to hearing about your adventure. (And the photos.)

While I have not yet played with the Browning X Bolt 2, I do have a few X Bolts (left handed) that have been serving me and my wife well to date. Accuracy out of the box with factory ammunition has been sub-MOA with preferred loads. Lots of features on them that I like, and they fit well, and...

My LH Sako Model 85 Hunter produced 0.516" 3-shot groups at 100 yards with factory ammo (Nosler 140 gr AccuBond) right out of the box. Gotta love that kind of accuracy!

Most prefer the older Model 99s with the brass rotary magazine and the round counter over the later models with the detachable magazine. But this would really be a personal preference for some. There are also several variants that were made over the years such as the Model E, F, and so on, with...

I have and run both styles of rings and bases on my Sakos. No complaints with either the Sako one piece, or the Optiloc one or two piece versions. While the Optilocs are more expensive, but are more robust, and they do have the plastic ring liner that is nice as they won't leave ring marks on...

I for one can tell you how much I appreciated having a heated cab for plowing snow in the winter! I loved my Kabota! But it was a larger tractor as a 75 hp model. Only had a few minor repair issues while I had it for 8 years, which were not surprising in nature.

I foresee quick kills in your future! 😎

I was born one day before the date above, and I still had to show my Hunter Ed certificate from Canada to buy my hunting license and antelope tag at Walmart in Colorado for my antelope hunt in 2024. My daughter, who was buying her license and elk tag for her hunt at the same time, was also...

According to a friend of mine that spent plenty of time working with a late, local gunsmith, shared a trick they used on the Brownings... They would lay the barreled action on a woodstove and let it heat up slowly to release that adhesive so that it was easier to spin the barrel off. Not sure if...

Sorry have not tried this bullet yet. The only rifle I have that showed any liking for ABLRs in factory ammo tried to date is the 142 gr ABLR in my 6.5 PRC. And I have yet to to take game with it. As for handloading the ABLR, I have only played with the 150 gr ABLR in my 280 Rem, and my rifle...

Sounds like you had a blast with Grandpa's old gun! 😎 Well done! Good to hear that is getting used again! (y)

The 348 Win/358 Win is a step up from the 375 Win in performance level. (Including recoil energy.) The 348 Win pushes a 200 gr bullet to 2520 fps with 2820 ft lbs of energy fps, and the 358 Win pushes the same weight bullet to 2490 fps with 2753 ft lbs of energy. (Winchester factory ammo specs)...

Pulling the trigger on a 375 Win always puts a grin on my chin! Huntin' bear is such a blast with these rifles! Moose too! 😎

Be careful! They are addicting!

Nice find! Very limited numbers get shipped to North America each year. I tried for a few years to get the same rifle in 9.3x62. Finally went with a Hunter. Your rifle should prove to be a shooter! A mouflon hunt would be a great adventure with that rifle! Would love to do a similar hunt with...

Yes, we can go deep down the rabbit hole! But that is all part of the adventure! And each of us has our own limits as to how deep we venture, and there is nothing wrong with that. In the end, if we achieve the desired results, we are justified in the lengths that we have gone to, to get there!
