Shaka Wear men's t-shirts. I bought 2 packs of 2, plain brown. I WFH, and that's my "uniform." I wear them literally every single day. The neck is still as snug as it was when I bought them 18 months ago, to say nothing of the rest of them. They've probably all been washed 80 or 90 times...

From everything I've read and everyone I've talked to, that's exactly the issue. For animals that just need 300 - 570 grains of thunder rolling through them, there's just no substitute for bullet mass and the recoil which comes with. A leopard isn't in that class of animal. If a guy is as...

@RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION - did I miss the boat on 320 gr .366 and 450 gr .422?

With 3 doors, whichever door you choose, your probability is .333 that you pick the right door, and .667 you've picked the wrong door. Eliminating one of the 2 doors doesn't change the .667 that you're wrong, and the game show host isn't going to eliminate the door with the actual prize behind...

OK, let us know. @Bob Nelson 35Whelen is coming to the states this fall and was planning on bringing me some 160 gr 6.5, I'd rather save him the hassle and just toss back a couple beers with him when he gets here. I'll be looking for a couple boxes of PPSN and a couple boxes of RN.

Never hunted leopard, but if/when I do, it'll be with my 6.5 Swede or my 280 AI. Because from 70 or 80 yards, I can stack bullets with either of them all day long. 156 gr Norma Oryx for either of them, or Woodeligh RN 160 for the 6.5 It doesn't matter what you do in your backyard range with...

Well rats. Already sold out of 6.5mm 160 gr.

You do you, amigo. 375 RUM is a little over $2, and when Raven Rocks gets some Norma 404, I'd expect it at around $3 or maybe $4.

Were they Americans, and did they fly United or Delta?

Anyone have any experience with this chrony? It's about $200 less than the Garmin, thinking about replacing my MagnetoSpeed Sporter if I get it.

Except for the handful of animals around the lodge, I did not encounter any human-habituated animals on my hunt last year in Limpopo. The only animals that entertained our presence for more than a moment or 2 were the cape buffalo. They hung around long enough to give us the "Capstick stare,"...

I saw the video before it was made private. I don't believe the rifle was malfunctioning, I believe it was, in IT parlance, either an ID10T error or a PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair) error.

"No" to TSA locks. Regular, heavy padlocks.

M'bogo. Trying to figure out a way to get over to eastern Limpopo for a day or 3 for a tuskless in 2027. My outfitter has a lodge practically on the banks of the Crocodile River. Definitely solids for that, and probably leave the missus at camp.

I see quite a lot of gold rings on optics when I'm watching DG hunting videos. Probably more of those than the rest put together. Can't be that many failures.
