I don’t like the open mouth or the snarl, maybe because I’m a dentist and can’t get over the fake teeth :) And plastic tongue etc The snarl is also too much negative energy. To see that mean face every day no thanks. I really like the natural look of a relaxed cat. I guess I need to finally...

I don't think I would choose a 300 PRC for a Ruger #1 but you do what gets you excited. for me a 300 PRC is a long range cartridge, like hunting elk at 1000yds. Would definitely work though, a bit overkill I think, at least from recoil perspective. I guess if Eland, Kudu, Giraffe were the main...

I have the Hornady dies and have generally full length resize. I had Ken work over the rifle and will see about some CH4D dies

For those that reload for the 470 NE how many firings on average do you get out of your brass? I have 50 pieces new Barnes brass and just trying to gauge how long it will last. Thanks

New member selling nice firearms….. How about tell us more about yourself? where is the shotgun located? Do you hunt or only shoot clays? Can we come try it out :)

I like a jeweled bolt and ebony tip, makes it a bit nicer. For a cartridge to resale I would not go .338wm way less of a market. Really Alaska moose and brown bear is what I think of for 338 and a synthetic/stainless set up for wet and salty. A 300win mag would sell way easier and go with...

Post up some pictures!

that brochure is listing a Gobi at 80k Euros and an Altai at 140k Euros- with other expenses additional… lately have heard of exorbitant tips and bribes expected to make things go smoothly on a number of Asian hunts…. Marco Polo sheep have not gone as high, maybe due to more availability?

Very nice! I remember not too long ago when they were actually not that pricey to hunt. Sheep (Ovis) prices have gone bonkers the last few years.

I found this- https://hodgdonpowderco.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/subsonic-data-final-1.pdf That has load data for the 45/70 which might translate to a 458 win. Remember for subsonic you want to do the “opposite” for reloading- start higher than you want and work down to the subsonic...

Looks like a good deal. Easy enough in South Africa

Yeah for B&C and P&Y just north of that line in that first map in Unalaska is where the top entries come from along the coast. I thought SCI also had some criteria on distance from salt water.

exciting times, following along. Hopefully all goes successfully. I would love to get a bongo some day

Thanks for that- I suppose that’s from the official book? I wasn’t sure about unit 11. Looks like SCI Utes 11,13,19 as grizz where B&C puts them as browns

No, that’s not what I want. B&C makes it easy to access their website and boundaries. I know SCI has specific units listed in AK I wanted to verify, and it’s not the same as B&C
