And you spot and shoot further than some people stalk!!! ;) You got some skills man! FOTIS might be able to create accurate ammo and shoot tiny little groups; you can really reach out and touch them!:D And you have, and with hand cannons no less... I have long since added you to my list of those...

Not sure if this topic has ever been asked (I do not recall): What is your favourite method(s) of hunting? And you can include small game (including predators), big game, upland birds and waterfowl. For me, for small game: it is spot and stalk through the thickets for snowshoe hares, and...

My mounts/flatskins/etc. will go to my daughter, for what she wants in her home. The rest will donated to my First Nations community to put on the walls in the various public buildings for ceremony, cultural and educational purposes.

A mono at 2500 fps will still provide plenty of performance on a cape buffalo! A little less velocity will actually improve the penetration quality of an expanding bullet for the big bovines. I would be tempted to shoot a couple more groups with that load to see how group sizes do without...

Skinning golf balls seems a difficult proposition...hard to keep hold of them...and it would take quite a few to fill the freezer! Probably tough to chew, and nasty taste to boot! :devilish:

Looking forward to some other brass makers to provide some good 257 AI brass for this project...so it may take a year or more make this one come together. (I hope ADG or Petersen are listening!) But I am not in a rush, and I will have the new 25 CM to keep mee preoccupied! 😄

While that is interesting, I like the ol' Swede as is...and I have a PRC for that extra couple hundred feet of velocity...and am just having fun exploring the quarterbore some more!

That's a fair number of deer! As DrMike would say, "that might not be a record, but it is a good start!".

I wouldn't think so...but then again, I have never been to Alabama!

Oh, the dangers of being laid up in a hospital bed, with lots of time to think... 🤔 While my 25 CM rebarrel project is waiting on me to be able to up and about again, to take that Browning LH X Bolt All Weather into the gunsmith to have that new 24" Benchmark 5R SS 1:7.5 twist barrel put on...

The main difference is going to be that the wild game does not have fat marbelled into the muscle like beef does.

I know that I use it in my custom LH REM 700 300 WSM (69.5 gr for 2978 out if my 23.5" barrel) and that it produces 1/2" groups and has take quite a bit of game for me over the years (wolf, black bear, moose and elk). I got this recipe from DrMike as he was also getting good results with it in...

Very nice! All of them!

Unfortunately, over time, I have misplaced my 338 Win Mag reload data... But a quick look at records shows that the Federal factory ammo was doing approx. 2830 fps withe the 210 gr Partition, and 2800 fps with the 225 gr AccuBond. I used the 210 Partition ammo and handloads exclusively in my...

Are you hunting buffalo with the same outfitter near Bedford you hunted with a couple times now?

Like that blue stock!

Not that we do not high of 40 degrees C here in Canada...but those are the lazy dog days of summer when even a dog has the sense to seek out the shade and not go traipsing for 😎 miles after game while baking in the hot sun! And those are our long, cold winter days, so a big shift in temps to...

I am sure that the shooting world will miss him and the knowledge he had and shared. Condolences to his family.

That'll be their summer and the heat! Not for me! (although it would be neat to tag along on your buffalo hunt!) And I may have to take the trip and use my rescheduled flights before the end of May 2027; still waiting on confirmation of details.)

Hello everyone! Finally got some of the photos resent in a size that allows me attach them to the posts. (Still cannot get the pics of the black springbok to work....will keep trying!) If you back to post #58 and work forward you'll finally get to see the pics of those animals! Hope you enjoy...
