    Recently shot a big water buffalo in Argentina with the 270 grain ones. Results were not good. I shot it 9 times. Last shot in the head at 75 yards. Last shot worked nicely . No bullet penetrated more than around 12 inches. Would not break shoulder at 125 yards. I should have tried to get closer...

    3.5 12ga vs big bore rifle

    Recoil of a heavy loaded.3.5 12ga. Is much worse than a 375 but it is not a 458. Recoil of the big calibers is quite a bit worse.

    Elk at 688 yards with a 243

    Shooting elk at that distance with anything is not hunting. With a 243 total stupidity. Go buy a beef cow , tie it out and shoot it. Wild game needs to be respected and hunted properly. Watched a long range guy cripple up a bunch of animals in Africa, and yes he was playing video to brag about...

    Any hunts you wouldn’t do again?

    Almost all your shooting preserves turn out quail and pheasants every day. There is no hunting just bird shooting.

    R8 3 accidental discharges, human error or?

    Hunt would have been over if I was guiding after the second ad. Maybe after the first it is hard to bring back bullets. I firmly believe it was operator error

    2025 Buffalo and Plains Game

    Buffalo gun sounds good. Plains game my choice is a 300 wsm or win mag. Have had excellent results on several hundred animals from eland to zebra . A 190 grain nosler accubond with 62.5 grains of imr 4831 in 300 wsm has worked great. Advantage in carrying a 300 win. Mag is ammo is readily...

    270 winchester bullet performance question 150 partitions and A frames

    I have had real good success with the 140 accubonds with max loads of 760. Tried the 130 core locks performed poorly on 150 pound whitetails and hogs. Also have a 270 wsm which performs great with 150 partitions with reloader 19. The 150 long range accubonds worked well in 270 wsm. Black...

    The 243 Winchester for Australian Game

    I have to agree with you bob. I have seen too many 100 pound white tails run 500 yards with a 243 through both lungs. A great coyote, rabbit and crow cartridge. Give me a 7mm08, almost the same recoil and much better animal killer.

    The 243 Winchester for Australian Game

    Perfectly placed 243 bullets usually work. I far prefer a 7 -08 very low recoil and much more killing power. I have loaded 140 grain accubonds at 2500fps that worked great on deer and hogs.

    270 winchester bullet performance question 150 partitions and A frames

    Go with the 150 grain long range nosler accubonds. Very accurate open up and retain weight as good as partitions easier to load with boattail. Sst killing results were not good. And no blood trails. I want an exit wound.
