Above is per the software I've used on my phone for 15 years or so. Actual POI at 50 yards needs to be verified as it will often be off a little depending on type of rest and how you hold your tounge. 350 TSX. BC .425. MV 2,250 fps. Sight hight 1.9". 100 yd zero " apprx 50 yd zero. Below line...

Nice shooting on a huge bull. Looking forward to seeing more of the photographic work. Outstanding so far.

I've thought about doing a Nilgai hunt a few times but never got to the serious research stage. This thread brought that interest firmly to the surface.... My deposit went out to Sam this morning. January 2025 - hopefully the rut will be on and the days chilly! I plan to fly in and if...

I remember those days. :) And just about everyone had a 357 under the seat (and drove friendly).

Beautiful rifle!

Tilly plus a baseball cap. A stick of sunscreen for the top of your ears and behind neck when wearing the cap - or get crispy.

Bull! :) I enjoyed the heck out of following along. Made me feel like, and wish, I was right there. Also appreciate and relate to the mental aspect gained from competitive shooting.

Uncrating Party! Hopefully your final delivery leg includes getting it inside your garage. If not, then some $$ and the driver will roll it in anyway.

Anyone do this or have knowledge, (resize 358 Norma to 338 WM)? I purchased 25 358 new factory Norma brass a few years ago, then resized and trimmed to 338 WM. I never reloaded any and cannot find where I read this is acceptable. Measurements look good and the shoulder measures only about...

Just more food for thought: Disassemble and clean dies. Verify expander ball is set correctly, if applicable. Also check to see lock ring did not slip Pull and weigh sample bullets that did not seat easily - also verify OD ( looking for wrong weight or out of spec caliber). Edit to add: Verify...

A few freehand (from low ready) at close range are also great practice, and show the importance of being on low power.

Interesting timing. I was mulling over working up a load with the 210 gr TTSX for my Sako LR61 338 WM earlier today. I set it up for the 185 TTSX in prep for my 2021 plains game hunt, but ended up taking a 30-06 instead. (Worked fine for everything incl Zebra, except a Blue WB needed additional...

That should work! Is it a new load or something you have used before?

Prayers sent.
