Nice! Always did like the A Bolts. The detachable mag can be removed to reload, but can be reloaded while in the rifle too. Hope you enjoy it and make some great memories with it!

Some rifles just feel right in the hands and when shouldered! And when they perform well, accuracy wise and on-game, they just become keepers and trusted "Ole Reliables". 😎

I should have also stated that the data was for 65K psi in pressure for my Sako Model 85. If someone's rifle is an older military action, they may want to back off these max loads a bit for less pressure in a non-modern action. With your rifle being a modern action, you should be fine, but as...

As much as I know how good the ol' '06 performs on game, and I have used it myself to take my first moose back in 1989, I have just never cottoned to it myself. Probably due to the fights my father and uncle had about their beloved 30-06 and 270... And any 30-06 I have kept since has been...

I have untried data as yet, showing the following with the 220 gr Speer Hot Cor for my 338 Federal: CFE223: 53.0 gr for approx. 2710 fps Power Pro Varmint: 49.6 gr for approx. 2708 fps XBR8208: 47.0 gr (sorry, no velocity projection) I am not exactly sure what the difference is between the Hot...

It's another page in the story of this African adventure! One we are not likely to forget... We lived through it (Thank God!), and are healing, and will recover, so that I can hunt Africa again! (After all, there is an eland out there with my name on it!) While Susan has stated that she will not...

An update on Susan and my recovery... Susan was discharged from the hospital in Dawson Creek on July 1st and spent 3 weeks at my Mom's in Pouce Coupe just outside Dawson Creek. She came home on July 22 as my Mom drove me to Vancouver to see a plastic surgeon for ongoing wound care for my leg...

Sorry to hear about your travel troubles... Very glad to hear that you still had a great adventure with great people, in beautiful country, and took some very nice animals! That copper springbok is spectacular!

My first pair were Pro-Ear, but I did not care for them due to the fit. My Walkers fit much better, and the batteries last longer. I have bought a pair of their Walkers ear bud style to try for hunting, but did not use them on my Africa hunt this year, as we were shooting suppressed rifles...

The OP brought it up in Post #10. As for the 257 Roberts, I am still working on load development in my new to me custom LH Sako 591. The rifle's beautiful stock was done by the late local stockmaker, Lew Bates, the 22" Shilen barrel with a 1:10 twist was done by the Albertan gunsmith, Ron...

My wife's 7mm-08 liked the 140 gr Pro Hunter with 47.2 gr of IMR 4350 (sub-MOA accuracy). Sorry, do not recall the COAL on that load.

Agreed!

Looks like you have attained minute of coyote flea accuracy with that load!

No, it's not...just haven't come across a lefty 222 in my travels. But for now I am happy with my LH CZ 527 American in 204 Ruger.

Nice! The Triple Deuce is a hoot to shoot! And accurate! Have had fun with a friend's 222 over the years. A cartridge I have not owned myself, but should have...

I have always been happy with the 280 Rem and how it has performed for me, with the 1:10 twist barrels in a #3 contour. (My favourite cartridge.) 😎 I just could not get the accuracy out of the pencil thin barrels on the Rem 700 Mountain rifles, that I know the cartridge is capable of. I am...

A unique mount that she'll love as it was made for her by dear ol' Dad! And one she'll treasure as being her first!

Me too!

Best of luck and enjoy the adventure! Rifles look ready to perform. I know that I really enjoyed hunting fallow buck; they are challenging! Looking forward to doing it again!

Looks like you've got 3 loads that will work for you; the TGK, the BT and the AB! Nice to have choices! I'd hunt all kinds of big game with those loads! (But would prefer the AB for elk, just for the extra penetration and weight retention.) Love to hear your on-game performance with the TGKs, as...
