    Arizona 26

    Most states going to an on line system now-even allowing digital federal duck stamp. Don’t know if Arizona got that far yet but it was super convenient in other states I hunted-our Brittany went completely deaf this year and was retired from the field in November.

    Hunting knives recommendations?

    Just for the fun of it, check out Von Gruff knives in New Zealand. Anymore I carry two knives but lots of blades- a stout fixed blade belt knife and a havalon with replacement blades. But then I’m not on a cattle ranch :)

    375 H&H & 260gr Accubond

    235 gr TSX with expected flawless performance. Mine is a .375 wby but shouldn’t make much difference for the purpose of this thread-except I won’t post my “recipe.” The powder used is rl-15 I forgot I had taken this combo more than once-one shot effective on eland down to duiker-the velocity I...

    Will Nosler ever bond a Partition bullet?

    Rupture is your word, not mine, so maybe take it out of quotes. I’m glad your experience has been better than mine.

    Loading .270 without the rifle

    I’ve done load work ups for two .270 rifles in the past two years. One ended up shooting the Speer grand slam 130 using 7828 ssc, F/C brass. That was a mossberg rifle. The other was a custom rifle and we ended up using H4831 sc and the nosler 130 accubond, also F/C brass. I would Not...

    Sadly, I think I’m done with Partitions

    I’m not a pt fan but I have never had issues getting them to group acceptably. Old rifles really loved those short heavy lead tipped bullets! I’m in agreement with the above-try the Accubond and see what you can do with that one or one of the other options. I’ve gone to the ablr in several...

    7mm08 and the 150 accubond long range

    Same bullet I use in my rem 700 and it will be just fine for elk. I found rl-17 to Be the best for me and seating depth was very important. 7mm-08 150 grain on the left after taking down the kudu bull-

    Best Tasting Animal?

    Most African game is better than we have on this half of the globe. It is typically lean and in general cooked over an actual fire, so the flavors aren’t polluted by gas or briquettes. I would take eland over anything else.

    Which truck / Chevrolet or Ford

    My brother has a nice newer ford 150. He slid on a mountain road into a large rock., not a lot but enough to be irritating. The aluminum body is much more expensive to repair-two quotes in the $8000 range. Something to think about -

    Spot and stalk duck hunting so waders not typically required. I have a lab and a chessie, sometimes I run together, sometimes I alternate which one I use. Really good winter deer country and blue ribbon trout water

    7mm-08 and 120gr TTSX

    I also use it in 7mm-08 with a 100 gr Sierra varmint bullet, bl-c2 seems to work well in this caliber with the lighter bullets
