    Article on heavier vs lighter for caliber bullet penetration

    I was right with you until I saw the pictures in this thread--some just plain NASTY wounds inflicted by the raptors!! And not just a surface cratering, either. I'm still not over the shock.

    A Death Of Ethics: Is “Hunting” Destroying Itself?

    I'm sayin optics are important, to keep people from misunderstanding our honorable hunting heritage. It is not worth it to aggravate people unnecessarily especially new women hunters who boost our numbers and teach their kids to hunt, or the undecided urban voters for that matter. Throwing dirt...

    A Death Of Ethics: Is “Hunting” Destroying Itself?

    I'm not one to open a door for the antis, but let's remember, we have an ever growing number of female hunters coming into the sport. This is a great thing, but they may not take to anything very inhumane in appearance. Even the trackers in Africa throw dirt on the blood while cutting back brush...

    Article on heavier vs lighter for caliber bullet penetration

    Well, hush my mouth! Thank you for the photo evidence of what those petals can do in and of themselves. I am rather puzzled by the entrance wound to the croc. It almost appears that the petals came off before impact. I suppose some tissue just got blown away, but what an explosive pattern...

    Massacres in Burkina Faso

    They have been killing the wildlife to feed the soldiers, didn't I hear? BF was one of the strongholds for lion, but predators need prey to survive.

    Talk me into Blaser R8

    several have spoken of selling off their R93's in favor of R8, etc. Was there any kind of failing in the R93? Just curious.

    Article on heavier vs lighter for caliber bullet penetration

    I am not buying it! Here are a few reasons why: 1. those raptors/nosler partitions and others who shed their petals become in essence solids from that point onward. Everyone knows that an expanding bullet (which is tough and holds together) will create a larger permanent wound channel than a...

    Good cartridge for Giraffe

    C W Richter beat me to it on the hide thickness, so at the end of the day, whichever cartridge you choose, think penetration in bullet selection.

    One gun or two? On safari

    I wonder if we are not overlooking one factor...practically all gun transport cases I have seen already have room enough for two guns--even if you bought the shorter Pelican for an R8, you can put extra barrel in easily. If you are already carrying a case which holds two, why limit yourself to...
