    American Idol Star Under Attack from PETA for Hunting

    As I understand it, a few years ago, I thought PETA was on board with killing the wild pigs because they invade the sea turtle nesting grounds on the Georgia coast. Either way, I’m going to vote for this Cat not only because Peta is against him, but because he’s really Effing good!

    Does it function as a repeater with the 410 barrel? Also, how hard is to switch barrels. How accurate is the rifle barrel?

    10.75x68 Mauser Rifle

    Not for sale anymore. It's mine now. I often sit with it and a fine Bourbon and try to conjure from it the stories it so blatantly refuses to tell. So, alas, I am forced to make them up to satisfy my daydreams of what must have been.

    Finally Found a Brno in 9.3x62

    It is a very good thing you saw that rifle first! Otherwise it would be you sitting and lamenting the fact that you didn’t check yesterday often enough! I as well would not have even blinked at the price.

    Wild hog meat… do you eat it or is it too risky?

    I have been guiding hog hunts in Southwest Georgia for 15 years now. Probably killed somewhere in the neighborhood of about 8000+ Pigs. My customers keep everything but the boars and the pigs that are too shot up. In that length of time not one person has ever gotten sick From the meat. It must...

    Need help, Load discrepancy Swift vs Hodgdon

    If I remember correctly, swift A-frames, use a pure copper jacket. Also, the bearing surface may be considerably longer than the bullets. The Hodgdon manual was using. This would cause a lot higher pressure than with gilding metal jackets, and or shorter bearing surfaces.

    Peter Capstick...who knows the truth?

    I’ll add my name to the list of people that went to Africa because when they were 12 years old read, “death in the long grass”. By far, the best storyteller about African hunting that I have ever read. I don’t give two rats ass if he was somewhat of a phony as a PH, but he made me want to go to...

    Thermal Optics

    Don’t wast your money on anything atn. I would look at the pulsar talion xq 50. I’m a hog hunting guide and that is the only brand I use at the moment. To say that my scopes get used more than normal is a Giant understatement. It’s almost as difficult to find a scope without bells and whistles...

    303 british double

    A friend of mine has a McNaughton double in 303. Unique in the fact that the barrels are not welded together from the end of the rear sight to the end of the barrels. He also has a Rigby rising bite and a Holland royal. A pretty nice collection of 303’s to say the least!

    A tick in the usa thats bite can basically turn you vegan...

    I had a client several years ago that had this, but not to the point that he couldn’t sit in a BBQ restaurant. Had it for several years and I heard that a few trips to an acupuncturist finally cured it. Not sure about the “ science “ behind this, but he can eat all the red meat he wants to now.

    Cutting Edge Bullets For Large Dangerous Game

    I loaded for a buddies 450 nitro last year that he shot 3 buffalo in Mozambique with. He has a shoulder injury that won’t allow him to run full strength loads. So, I developed a load using 295gr. Raptors and 325gr. Safari solids that ran the standard 2150ish fps. I think he only used one of the...

    Of all the African game meat, which is your favourite? How would you rank them?

    Kudu is damn hard to beat. Eland is awesome, even the OLD rutting bull I killed. OLD bushbuck was not good at all. Buffalo, tough but tasty.

    Double Rifle for Your First Safari?

    I’ll be honest, I haven’t read past the first post, so if I offend anyone else’s opinion, my apologies in advance. I took my 500 NE Merkel on my first safari and the first animal I killed was a Cape buffalo. And I can confirm that I wouldn’t have done it any other way! Now, I will admit that I...

    Red dot for a large calibre

    I can’t say enough good things about the Leupold delta point on a 458 mag. There is O optical aberration or color variation. And, it has the technology that turns the sight off after 5 minutes of being still. I have tested it many times and you can’t get the gun to your face without the sight...

    A. Francotte Mauser 10.75x68

    Theory screws with a lot of things. But what isn’t theory is the fact that in a Mauser bolt action rifle, 2200fps is not the top end of velocity with a 350gr. bullet from that case. History seams to be the nemesis of this cartridge today.

    A. Francotte Mauser 10.75x68

    If I load Cutting edge 325gr. Raptors and 350gr. solids to 2150-2200 fps., I dare any animal shot with them to tell me if the bullets were launched from a .404 or a 10.75x68 case. The performance of the bullet can not be affected by the case it was launched from, only the construction of the...

    A. Francotte Mauser 10.75x68

    Forget the phrase ‘sectional density’. It has no bearing on modern mono metal bullets. I’ll say it again, none. Cutting edge bullets much lighter will shoot through an elephants skull. Go to **NOT**PERMITTED**’s big bore forum and read the extensive r and d done by michael458 in the development...

    Brno 602 Gunsmith Work

    I can’t help with the recommendation except to suggest you don’t need to rechamber to the Lott. The throat is so long on the win. mag. chamber that all you have to do is seat the bullet out to Lott oal. and then it is the same powder capacity and throat length as the Lott.

    If I'm reading it correctly I don't think the rifle is for sale. Just looking for information about whether he should convert or not. I'm no expert on the maker, but I believe it is a Belgian gun maker. Has a very good reputation for making solid quality firearms. Value, much like beauty, is in...

    My new 458!

    If the action is long enough for a Lott, there is really no need to ream the chamber out. All you need to do is long load the bullets in the regular 458 case and you get the same amount of extra powder capacity that the Lott provided. There are threads on this site that cover that subject just...

    Can we please stop talking about "flat shooting" cartridges

    No! Flatter is always better! I don't understand your premise. I will always take lighter, faster, deeper, on every sircumstance. But, I guess to each his own!
