And you left Susan and I to suffer with hospital food!?!? :rolleyes: Just teasing...glad you and Lynda enjoyed a fine meal!(y)

You should try your 338-06 on the deer too...as you said to "spread the love"! It is a thumper on whitetails and you should find that it will create less meat damage than you may expect. Even in some cases where you eat up to the hole. (An attribute that many enjoy; just not sure if this as...

The more you work your case, by necking up, and then reload for multiple firings, without annealing, is going to work harden your brass and make it prone to splitting (but this is not to say that some brass begins life harder from one brand to another make). If you were not necking up brass you...

When I built my Sako in 338 Federal, at first it would not shoot at all; 3" groups plus. The gunsmith got a new reamer with different throat dimensions that cleaned up the issue. Apparently a common problem. It now shoots 4 out of 5 factory loads sub-MOA. Still need to develop a load with the...

Did you bid on it?

Yes, only those in their "right minds" get to play! ;)

I'll keep her in mind!

I'll let you know if I have weak moment and decide to sell my LH Sako 85 Finnlight II in 338 Federal...but it may take a decade or two!

Hey Don, I'm sure that I have a LH rifle that would tickle your fancy on your next African adventure! As I may need a hunting companion to go back with me next year (Susan is done with Africa and is saying I cannot go without a hunting companion) so that I do not lose my funds for our cancelled...

Our PHs love the 6.5 CM! They regularly take wildebeest, kudu and even an eland with them. The eland was one and done on a double lung shot with the bullet completely passing through the old bull. But they also use the 270 Win, 30-06 and 308 Win on a regular basis on all the plains game. Mostly...

Nice mass on those antelope!

We all have those moments...But you got the job done, and that's what matters!

Adds to the adventure!

Nice mass!

My Leica Geovids went in my carry on bag on all of my trips (Africa X2 and New Zealand). Not just for security, but also so they didn't get abused by baggage handlers. (Susan had her Kahles in her carry on too)

Well, I am finally getting a 338 RCM! Found a LH Ruger wood/blued with the 20" barrel for sale here in Canada (first I have found since they introduced the rifle and cartridge). Finished paying for it, the dies and the brass today, and it will be shipped after I get out of the hospital and will...

Make sure his knives are sharp and the cooler is plugged in ready to hang his deer!

As I have a 6.5 PRC as well as the 6.5 CM, I see no need for me to try the Peak ammo, as I will just carry the other rifle if I feel I need the extra velocity and energy on a hunt. But with proven on-game performance on a red stag ay 296 yards with the 130 gr Terminal Ascent ammo, (not to...

I really like the nutmeg laminated stocks, and adding ebony forends and grip caps adds an extra touch of class (at least in my opinion!).

We'll not forget this adventure anytime soon!!! Susan says she is done with Africa, but I know that I will return. She says I cannot go alone! I need to find someone to go with me... Want to go to the Limpopo next for eland, Limpopo bushbuck and honey badger. I will return to hunt again at...
