    AH hats for SCI 2026 Get Together

    Need to check with @Rare Breed to verify this. But I think it starts at 6 pm at Johnathan's Bar and Grill in Nashville. As much as I travel (a lot) to Nashville I still have to Google search the address and use Google Maps to get me there. LOL.

    Bad batch of CCI large rifle magnum primers

    I started an OP on this same subject on CCI primer problems earlier this year when I was prepping for an upcoming trip to RSA. Received pretty much the same responses as you, as well as responses from other AH members having the same problem. Like you, I changed from CCI to Federal and...

    Injured deer

    A good decision on your part. You did that deer a favor by ending its misery. I hope you get a replacement tag.

    Loading three different 30-06 rounds for a trio of rifles

    "....dose of over kill"....from a 30-06?.....that's an understatement. No such thing as over kill when it comes to coyotes in our area. If the coyote doesn’t explode into "mini bites", it's under killed.

    Cape Buffalo Hunt-Bring or Rent a rifle?

    LMAO.....17 days in the same clothes? ....been there, done that.......only you thought it wasn't that bad. All Others within 100 feet of you had a different opinion....your 10 day deodorant ran out 151 days ago. Whenever we would return from a "walk through the park" we would clean and...

    Loading three different 30-06 rounds for a trio of rifles

    Or...I'm overthinking it. Having multiple 30-06s myself, I think I get the concept the OP is going for. I think he's going for 1 varmint rifle, 1 medium size game rifle (prong horn, deer, etc), 1 large game rifle (elk, brown bear, moose, etc). Thus no screwing around having to readjust a scope...

    2 Bore Rifles History

    There are shoulder fired 2 bores if you Google search blunderbuss, pirate blunderbuss, or pilgrim blunderbuss. If you haven't already seen it: Rock Island Auctions (RIA), on YouTube: Double Duece, talks about a double barrel BP cartridge rifle, and shows a muzzleloading 2 bore single shot pistol.

    Cape Buffalo Hunt-Bring or Rent a rifle?

    For my first DG hunt I got lucky by finding a deal here on AH. I ended up buying a 375 H&H and a 458WM from him. I shot my first buffalo in Zimbabwe with my 375H&H and my second buffalo in the East Cape, RSA with one of my 458WMs. As has been mentioned the 375H&H can be downloaded or lighter...

    2 Bore Rifles History

    In the early years in the US, 2, 4, 6, and 8 bores were primarily used for market hunting, specifically waterfowl. Most were very big, very long guns known as "Punt" guns. These guns were mounted in boats to float down rivers into flocks of waterfowl killing and maiming ducks and geese. The...

    AH get together to meet and greet @Bob Nelson

    Wow! Is @Bob Nelson 35Whelen softening to the .243 for use other than a tomato stake? Or have I missed previous threads from Bob providing helpful information on using the .243 as an actual hunting rifle? LOL
