No fires but had a hot, dry Summer in my neck of the woods as well. Many days of 96, 97, 98 degrees with the real feel around 108, 109. Absolutely brutal.
It has cooled off a great deal. This past weekend we had the "leftovers" of that Hurricane that came through the Gulf of America. Had 6...
Looks like you're ready to go! I've always wanted to hunt a Kudu and Eland. I know a guy that's been on several plains game hunts. He's got Eland and Kudu, among other animals. That Eland is huge.
Muzzle-loader season opened in my neck of the woods Oct 1. Went this morning and after seeing a couple deer earlier this buck came through eating water oak acorns about 10:30 this morning. A 300 gr Scorpion PT Gold ended it for him at 30 yds. These bullets are devastating!
I got my first Browning in 1989. It was a 7 mag. Killed a pile of deer with it. It loved IMR 4350 and 140 Partitions.
I bought my next one in 1994 when they came out with the A-Bolt 2 in 280 Rem. I still have this rifle and always will. It's my favorite ! It's not picky with what you feed it...

15 years or so ago I bought a box Hornady 7mm 139gr spire pt bullets. When I opened them I immediately knew something wasn't right. Grabbed my calipers and measured them. Low and behold the bullets mixed in with the 7mm's were 264's.
I called Hornady, gave the lot number and they sent a couple...
Nothing like finding a "bolt of lightning" to hunt with. Partition bullets are great bullets for sure. I've used a great many down through the years. However, I rarely use them anymore. For my hunting area I just don't need a bullet like that.
That "over run" ad also says this
Note: These bullets were made to OEM ammo manufacturer specifications and may or may not include a cannelure.
While they don't offer a 7mm 160 gr E-Tip to the reloading crowd it looks like they could have made some for another ammo manufacturer.
