I forgot about my stash of Hornady .375 220 gr FP bullets for my 375 Win! Still need to load up a 100 or 200 rounds so I can take it out to play and hunt again! That rifle is just a lot of fun to shoot and to hunt bears with. :cool: HAven't used it much for several years as I lost a certain...

You just never know when you'll need them!!! 😄

It only takes a moment to change circumstances that directly affects life and lives! Most people are in such a rush for instant gratification today, and seem to have little appreciation for life anymore. And we tend to see this in younger people as they have not experienced enough life to truly...

Despite what the current fad/trend of long range shooting and hunting may lead one to believe, most elk are taken within 200 yards, not the 600 that seems to be what everyone is reporting today, even amongst the outfitters. I have taken over two dozen elk of my own over the years, with only two...

Wishing I had taken the opportunity to acquire a Freedom Arms revolver when I had the chance! ☹️ Although, I would have opted for a 41 Rem Mag.

Would have to say the Winchester Power Point bullets I have for: .284" 150 gr .375" 270 gr And: Trophy Bonded Tip: .277" 140 gr Speer Mag Tip" .416" 350 gr

"The only plains game I’m planning on is a Southern Greater Kudu" As they say, "the best laid plans of mice and men"... On your previous trips, how many additional animals did you take? I know I took two on my first trip; impala and warthog. On the second, bontebok. My next is planned for...

Always a good idea to take extra rifles to shoot during the same range day session. I always take 3 or more! (My range sessions are never quick, but take a few hours. Helps keep it relaxed) Allows rifles to cool adequately between groups, and you are not getting bored sitting around waiting...

And you know how it goes! While I will definitely take accuracy over velocity any day, I am always happier to achieve both! (And I did like my 7mm Rem Mag, and do not currently have one...) That being said, I definitely want to experiment to see if the rifle can achieve the potential that QL...

I am lucky that I have a good supply of powder in stock!

What I was first taught was similar, although it was to rap the turret 2 or 3 times with your knuckle, so that it wasn't a harsh metallic rap on the housing, or scope internals, after making any adjustments. Hadn't heard of rapping the rings, but interesting concept, that may have been for same...

While I have taken an elk (spike @ 110 yards) with the 140 gr AccuBond in my 280, I am using them now in my 7mm-08, so have decided that my 280 will run the 150 gr AccuBonds once I have settled on an accurate load. Hoping that it'll perform with Re-17! (I am running the 160 gr AccuBonds in my...

Still a very respectable group with that 5th shot!😄 Time to break it in on game; sharpen your knives! I'd take that load to Africa! :cool: Should stack them antelope up pretty well. I look forward to your reports of on-game performance! Your performance is about 50 fps less than some loads...

The Titaniums are nice rifles! (I just wish they had made some in left hand!) 139/140 gr bullets at 3100+ fps should do well for most of the game you may want to hunt with it! I got one in a 270 Win for my daughter a while back. She likes it and has taken moose, mule deer, caribou and a stones...

Rifles are individuals... Some do better with a clean barrel, while others perform better with a fouled barrel. Only range testing will show you what your rifle prefers! While your maximum range is 100 yards, this may not be a big of an issue as it would be or those competing and or shooting at...

Her smile says it all! Memories to be cherished by both of you for years to come!

Hasn't the bulk of Ruger's production been done by investment casting and then finishing? At least, that was my understanding...

Good article. I believe that I read this article back in the day before getting my first 280 Rem, along with a number of other articles. Has long been a favourite cartridge of mine, along with being the first I learned to handload for.

Also grateful that everyone is OK...though they'll be feeling it more tomorrow. Airbags and seatbelts really do save lives! Not to mention the crumple zones in our newer vehicles, as compared to those just 3 or 4 decades ago. Glad Susan has a 4Runner to drive around!

I would say that you should measure the diameter of a nickel...if it is more than double the diameter of the 150 gr bullet then it has expanded well. (Sorry do not have any Amercican nickels on hand to measure to know actual diameter...) E.g., .308" x 2 = .616" ... and x 2.5 = .770", with the...
