I wouldn't think twice about using a 225 gr. Barnes TSX. With 58 gr. of CFE 223 you should be at 2730 fps +/-. That gives you a realistic 350 yard load with velocity still at ~2000 fps which is plenty for the TSX to still open up and perform. FWIW - I have shot an Eland, Kudu, 2 Wildebeest, 2...

Ill take the hydration pack you have posted.

I'll take the hydration pack. PM inbound.

If Odonata doesn't want them for some reason - I'll take them.

Beautiful rifle - 2 questions. What defines a Germanic style stalking rifle ? How long is the barrel ?

I have seen in other forums they are a legit company but their shipping costs are high. I have no experience with them.

I have pretty much the same gun. Bought it when I was younger and it was my only "big game" rifle for a long time. Shoots just about anything you feed it into very small groups, factory ammo or handloads, 130 grain - 150 grain doesn't matter. Mine has a very smooth action and is dead reliable...

That is what is called a "project gun". 35 Whelen is an excellent choice.

That makes 2 of us (well 3 counting my wife). Been here 6 years on a work project that ends next year. We are looking to move back to Pennsylvania and looking forward to the day I can buy an AR, suppressor, pistol with a threaded barrel and extended mags. It really is the Peoples Republic of...

Thats worth buying just for the Lapua brass alone !

A sling is for more than just carrying your rifle over your shoulder. I guess many people have either forgot or dont know how to use a sling properly to shoot. It's indispensable for me as a shooting aid.

I've been using ApexLoad Pro software for a year now and it is a godsend for reloaders. It covers literally every catridge/powder/bullet combination out there. Its a German based program so all the EU powders and cartridges are listed as well as the typical US based. I ran the simulator on a 6.5...

Lodge looks fantastic ! I hope you have a great hunt.

I'll take the Vortex scope cover you have listed in the Pay it Forward thread. Ken [redacted]
