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.

How many years ago was the post that you referred to--I believe it was the first one on this thread 1814 pages ago?....

One could say Trump got "Borked"?

Arizonans don't even complain when they go to Hell--it's just a "dry heat"

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...

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...

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...

How do you capture an intact tank, esp. a modernized version?

If a 300 mag, why not a Weatherby 340 mag?

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.

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.

One could only with his VP choice was DeSantis!!

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...

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.

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...

We are where we are because the Republican Party has boxed gloves on while the dems have boxed gloves off, and consistently hit below the belt, with the blessing of a judicial, media, academia ref in their corner--I seriously fail to see how letting Hillary, Hunter, and the dem hydra off scot...

I hear you, but I presume the inspection was intended to take place after the snake was dead? Had a friend who would always say, "I don't care what his first name is, his last name is SNAKE!"

If the game is not medium sized, it WILL BE after you knock a chunk of flesh out of it with those big honkers...

Ray's Hardware & Sporting Goods in Dallas has several boxes of new brass in 5.6x52R. Just mentioning it as a service to whoever needs it! I have given up dreams of owing one.

450/400 or 404 Jeffrey--good enough for Pondoro Taylor, good enough for me! In fact he stated that before the 375 H&H it was THE gun considered a one gun battery.

Under the most trying circumstances, they could offer you the privilege of going on living....

Classic Ferlach gun! Herr Hambrusch and his wife are good people, too.

Brother had some kind of Smith & Wesson police pistol with an adequately long barrel. It was accurate for everyone who tried it! I don't understand why it refused to shoot down and to the left the way my auto does if I have any sympathetic fingers contributing to the trigger pull. It was 38...

You infer corruption by the Trump family, yet his children DIVESTED THEMSELVES from many business dealings after he became president, while the Biden crime family just lives at the trough. I will defend Trump's children as straight arrows with their lives largely together--can you credibly say...

Why not the 35 Whelen?

In addition to "not my president."

One 375 blued steel and walnut, Sako safari.

My Mexican neighbors were trying to run a great horned owl out of a tree in their back yard with big flashlights, at the same time I was trying to let my grand daughter listen to it. He later explained that it greatly frightened his wife, who believed someone in their house was thus in danger...

a neighbor committed suicide next door. As soon as an undesirable couple came to look at the home and asked me about the neighborhood, I told them about it and then stated, "I don't think the house is haunted..." They didn't move in.

Lucky he didn't gnaw it off to escape. You know, Snuggles the bear got his paw caught in a lint trap and gnawed his off to get free...

The auto 12 ga was a camp gun. This was in Dande South, Zim

I only have one DG rifle, a 375 H&H, so it is accompanied by 30'06, if accompanied at all. I did one DG hunt with just the 375. It was synthetic stocked, and stock work was all I thought about as a breakage risk. Since it was a Rem push feed, I didn't give extractors a thought. Everything went...

So, your bow AND arrows can just go in checked luggage? Wow, just wow!!

Also a great opportunity to carry extra to leave with the PH--they have a hell of a time getting/affording ammo

How did the TSX do on the lion? Did it go down quickly? Would you have chosen it as a stopper for a charge? (say, vs ttbc)

But can you bring ammo only in order to then use said ammo with a camp rifle??

If using camp rifles, you are also using camp ammo--a pig in a poke, possibly. Is it legal to take ammo only to fit a camp rifle? You would have control of ammo quality/application. But can it even be done?

When Hadrian put down the Bar Cochba revolt, he remodeled the Temple Mount. He put a whole other layer on top, and added two buildings which are now the Al Aqsa mosque and the dome of the rock. These were identical building and identical layout to the temple in Baalbek, Lebanon. He place a...

22 inches for a double rifle, standard? Sure that is not a faulty metric conversion of numbers? Haven't seen one, much less ALL of them barreled to that length. I have seen any number of BBF and drillings at 25 inch length--and they swing quite well on the birds, thank you very much.

Border reform/immigration reform will not be "reformed" until white, christian europeans have the almost impossible restrictions taken off!! OTOH, we can't have potential republicans being let into the country, can we?

has anyone had a tastefully done adjustable comb cut and refitted with hex adjustments installed on their wood butt stocks? It is done on shotguns. Why could it not be applied to rifles for iron sight/scope sight interchangeability?

Buckstix--you come into possession of more interesting guns than any man I have ever seen! It would be fun to be you! Would also be a pleasure if your first avenue of selling was on this site, so that maybe, just maybe some of those toys you tire of could find a home with me or some other more...

100% of dead deer, elk, antelope, PG, could not tell a difference between the rounds....

I'm not convinced you need 300 grains with a ttx bullet, and you would keep the velocity up higher. It will be long for weight in any case. I would not lose sleep over using a 250 grain monometal, just sayin'.

I have not tried the SST line--mostly had problems with lighter weight boat tail interlocks at their "light magnum" velocities. Even then, the problems I had were on African game, not white tail deer. I know you have killed a lot more and a lot more variety than I have, so I will look into the...

Dad fished but never hunted. Parents made the mistake of turning me and my brother loose with BB guns--we were hell on wheels with those! Later my uncle took me squirrel hunting and the rest came as surely as grass catching fire in a wind. Ended up with a Cape buffalo hunt in Zim followed by 2...

Yep, that's my experience with lighter weight Hornady cup and core...nothing to write home about.

I shot a hartebeest with a Hornady light magnum 30'06. (a probable mistake to trade extra velocity for those Hornady bullets they came with?) Killed it, but the lead core was found as a little tear drop and the cup turned the wrong way. Later in the same hunt with the same bullet, my only...

are the "rods of God" the heavy (titanium?) projectiles which would strike the earth with a tremendous penetrating force? I understand they would we about as effective as an asteroid strike of similar mass.

Lovely gun! What is the maker?
