I used a rented rifle with rented ammo Hill Country Rifles 300WM. On the shooting range at lower elevation I shot at 100 and 300yds and was perfect with 178ELDX precision. Hunter. I did notice that my shots over 300 yds tended to land higher than expected on game. Now this could have been a...

Check to make sure your flash hider is tight. Check your shoulder bump versus fired cases. You could easily make a “case comparator” if you don’t have one by sizing a 375 caliber case I.e. 375H&H and zeroing your caliper on it. Then insert your 6.5 Grendel case neck into the 375 case neck and...

I couldn’t get what I would call consistent or good groups from my 6ARC with the 80gr ELDVT. They weren’t 12-18” groups though. If you’re picking the 100eldvt for use on coyotes. Try the 95gr V-max. Its design may be more forgiving. If you just want to load to learn. The easy button in 6.6...

The tikka factory magazine is amazing in how well it feeds, its weight, its lack of noise. I have mountain tactical metal mags for my 300WSM. I actually quit using them. I had to file the feed lips, the follower can tip and bind. Honestly a lot of people change the tikka bottom metal to use...

I have only done two hunts in Africa. The first was a plains game hunt in Limpopo which was the traditional bush hunt where my longest shot was 240yds down a road. I took my 9.3x62 loaded hot with 258gr hammer bullets. It was perfect. My second hunt was in the eastern cape. Very mountainous...

Dude those are great trophies. I don’t care about the measurements, they are good old animals with good length, good mass, and good color. As long as the hunting was good and didn’t look like they just came from a wild game auction, then I would be very happy.

https://www.africahunting.com/threads/6-5-for-the-largest-game.86817/#post-1310801 I have only tested the 140ECX/ GMX in the 6.5 creedmoor. Velocities were good to okay given the bullet’s bearing surface and intrusion into the case. Accuracy was excellent. I have only killed one whitetail doe...

Haha “a story”… Brother, I lived that story. I’m a rifle guy through and through. I’m left handed. I really wanted to take my own rifle. I ended up with a right handed hill country rifle in 300WM with a swaro scope and a great fryer and devick suppressor, but I would have rather had my Blaser...

I’m confident that Airlink can carry firearms. It was a Qatar airways problem. Multiple travel agents at DSC said they had found out about Qatar’s change and had people in the field when it happened.

I just flew IAD-DOH-JNB-PE April 9th and back April 20th. I was told in January, February, and March that since my last flight was operated by Airlink that I would not be allowed to transport firearms on Qatar. They kept telling me to call back in case the rule changed. I ended up renting a...

I have a MK5 6-lug backcountry guide in 280AI- I love the rifle. I hate the cerakote on the bolt, it’s sticky. Dad has a vanguard talon in 300WBY- awesome rifle, super accurate. Had to have the chamber honed due to failure to eject using factory ammo. Done under warranty quickly. Brother and...

140 Nosler Partition and don’t look back. I’ve killed springbok, oryx, zebra, sable, waterbuck, warthog, Nyala, and impala with a 9.3x62 and 258 hammer bullets. Of those animals the only ones I would even hesitate with on with a 140 partition at 2900-3000fps would be sable and waterbuck.

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/183RySiG9D/?mibextid=wwXIfr The whole time I’m thinking “poaching” but they talked about “hunting” the whole time. What are the laws in Ghana?

I saw many fallow deer but none of them made my jaw drop like the mouflon. I’m headed to the east cape in April so maybe fallow deer will catch my eye there.

My choice was mouflon in Spain
