What other species do they have available?

At least you got a few days with friends and a good feed out of it! :D

Precision Cartridge made a 200 gr FTX load for the 348 Win. I had 3 boxes for my last Grade 1 Browning. Never did try it, so cannot report on how it performed. Could not find it when I just Googled it. HSM also made a 200 gr FP load. not sure if they still list it.

Interesting. As they weren't on my list I hadn't inquired into importing to Canada. As the meat is good, may be interesting to hunt one in Texas someday so I can bring the meat home...perhaps a cull...while on a axis or blackbuck hunt.

Thanks, good to know.

Congrats! Nice to know that scimitar horned oryx are so tasty. We saw lots of them on our hunt in South Africa in May. Worth $3750 for th trophy fee there. What do they charge for a hunt where you went?

As stated above, both will do exactly what you want them to do on your targeted species within the distances you have stated. In fact, they will be sufficient (as stated) for most big game animals at those distances in North America (and elsewhere; e.g., Africa, New Zealand, Argentina, etc.)...

Do you want to stick to the 58,000 psi pressure limit or bump up to 64,000 psi for in your Model 7?

I have always sat in a chair. A nice desk chair on wheels would be nice for moving about a little more...but depends on the set up. My next set up will be for this. I do use a bar stool with a swivel top for my set up with my rifle rack/vise for mounting scopes, etc., as my tool box is set up...

Beautiful rifle! And they are obviously doing well together! The grin above his chin says it all! 😎 Best of luck in his adventures with this new beauty! I have long drooled over those High Grades...but as a hunter first was scared when younger to have a beautiful rifle like that, for fear of...

Best of luck on your adventure! Hope your knives are sharp!

Sounds like you need to keep your knives sharp, as your rifle/handload combination is dialed in! Best of luck in your future adventures!

The only animal taken with it to date was a medium sized black bear boar. Complete penetration at 120 yards. Exit wound larger than entry. (Did not measure.) So cannot state on actual expansion on this animal. Sierra did give these bullets a heavier jacket so that they would have better...

Looks like great memories! And he has a great number of animals to his credit. Great start on a hunting lifetime of skills and experience! Is your daughter still shooting?

I haven't had a rifle with a Douglas barrel to date, so cannot say from personal experience...but as outlined above, I have heard both good and bad stories over the years. One of my shooting friends has a couple of rifles with Douglas barrels, and he is happy with them. Not sure why, but the bad...

When reloading once fired cases, I have neck sized belted cases and experienced no issues, whether it be for 270 Wby, 7mm Rem Mag, 338 Win Mag, or 416 Taylor. With new brass, I have always full length sized. And I have never heard of a belted case failing at the belt from responsible loading and...

How do we block it?

The only load I tried with the 200 gr BT to date was with 50.0 gr of IMR-4320. It produced 2590 fps from my 22" barrel, and a 3 shot group of 0.787" My rifle prefers the 215 gr SGK at 2751 fps with 62.0 gr of H-414, and 3 shot groups of 1/2". What I like most about this bullet, is that with its...

Attention Moderators: I just noticed that in the quote above (post #15), that another line has been added by a casino to the last line in my original post! (Not included in my original post # 3. Is this allowed??? Thanks!

Impact velocity does have an affect on a bullets expansion, that is exacerbated when hitting heavier bone. For example, a 165 gr AB out of a 308 Win as loaded in Nosler's factory ammo, has an initial muzzle velocity of approx 2800 fps from a 24" barrel, and will retain over 2600 fps at 90 yards...
