That is incorrect. The original DGX was released in 2007. They performed poorly. A couple of lots even got recalled in 2017. They redesigned and re-released DGX in 2018. The redesign supposedly improved the bonding. Google is your friend on this one.. plenty of information on this ranging from...

Out of a 500 NE I think you could hit them with a sta-puff marshmallow and likely kill them… that’s a big gun :D

I’m actually on a plane headed to South Africa as I type this… I won’t be back stateside until the 29th… I’ll check my logs when I get home and shoot you the information…

I have no problem getting just a hair over 2400 fps using IMR 4064, shooting a 400gr TSX… no pressure problems at all…

Will do! I think Gerrit, Francois, Rikus, and Elna are all in camp already… and a few more are possibly going to stop in for a bit while we’re there..

To obtain a license from the government, yes. To take the course and get the certificate, no. We (wife and I) are largely doing it to have fun and hopefully glean some cool information and maybe learn a few new things… it’s also an outrageously inexpensive way to spend a 10 day vacation in...

Americans Gone Wild (and one Frenchman too! :) ) Sitting in the United Lounge in Newark (yuck!) right now, getting ready to board for Jo'berg in a couple of hours... thought I'd get a thread started to chronicle the next couple of weeks adventures.. Myself and a handful of other AH members...

I know the original DGX and DGS bullets got quite a bad reputation.. as I understand it, deservedly so.. that said, they redesigned their dangerous game bullets a few years back.. since then I havent heard much complaining (although I've never used them).. I do know that many of the double...

I am a die hard barnes guy... but... last year when I was getting my 300 PRC up and running I shot A LOT of Hornady CX (maybe 300 rounds?).. I found that they shot superbly straight.. and the one animal I took with the CX died right in its tracks.. while thats not a whole lot of field use, I...

Assclown politicians playing assclown politician games.. "record numbers!" lets see... the US has a population of 340.1M people.. Khans own numbers say 2194 Americans applied for UK citizenship between April and June... So thats .000006451% of the population... Assume you get the same number...

If you’re going to Chattanooga, take about a 2 hour detour and go to the smoky mountain national park outside of gatlinberg… Gatlinberg is a tourist hell hole… traffic is horrible and all of the restaurants and shops are always packed to the point of misery… But by October the trails through...

I’ll unfortunately will be over in Arkansas attending a university event otherwise I’d love to come down and spend the day with you guys… Nice move/gesture @Mark Biggerstaff

Thanks! Will definitely give that a try.. In soups and chili I honestly can tell very little difference between it and grass fed beef... for whatever in spaghetti, lasagna, and other Italian type dishes, its pretty distinctively different.. although I dont mind that at all.. I genuinely like...

Therein lies the problem.. I have a voracious appetite for geopolitical information… much of my job/career depends on it… so I monitor a huge swath of global outlets .. both public and private… They’re all manned by humans.. and regardless of who is paying them, all humans have bias and most...
