Stands to reason Big Bob Nelson 35 Whelen's 310gr Woodleigh load is 25 fps faster than mine, it's his name for crying out loud.:D My rifle runs the 310gr Woodleigh out at 2425 fps over H-4350 powder. 250gr Norma Oryx at 2668 over CFE-223 270gr Northfork cup point solids at 2538 fps over...

Many thanks for the refresher and tutorial and pics good Sir Riflecrank, I remember as I was about to settle the rifle on the sticks taking a quick look back to make sure where my Wife was standing in what could have been the beginning of a hell of a rodeo in chest high thorns, she gave that...

According to the Hammer bullet guys I was the first hunter out to test the 458 cal 404gr Hammer bullet on Cape Buffalo, my then load ran 2540 fps in a Model 70 Winchester built on a 375 H&H classic New Haven action, load COL was 3.585 inch. Cape Buffalo was on the list, when we arrived early...

My 1952 year Winchester 70 standard rifle with it's factory 25" barrel is perfect, doubly so for unscrewing the scope if need be and using that wonderful rocker rear barrel sight, all the way forward the 300gr CEB #13 solids at 2700 fps are dead on at 25 and 50 yards the best I can hold and...

Older thread, but, if any great 416 Taylor shooters are still on the lookout for good loads here's mine, I use CFE-223 for a true and safe 2400 fps in my 98 Mauser actioned 416 Taylor if one wants it. Old school 400gr Hornady softs and solids along with the 400gr Partition. One can start at...

All this week and a few hours early this morning I have been replenishing my supply of old school 45 ACP ammo for an old Series 70 Colt Government. New Nosler brass 230gr FMJ flat point bullets 7.0grs Longshot powder Rem 2-1/2 [rimers COL 1.250" Vel 900 fps This easy +P load functions just...

Hagler450Ex, I agree, more people should take and hunt with their 577's, it is indeed a very specialized cartridge that takes an awful amount of self control to shoot well, and the physicality to carry it all day, I can do both, am basically lazy, but can work harden train getting ready for...

Mtn Infantry, you were exactly right Sir, many Thanks to you and Altitude Sickness for the history lesson on achieved Service Medals my Gramps and others earned, I appreciate it greatly, that is a very deep and wide subject in my family, my own Father and his brothers had Mil service I know...

PCC600, yes sir, they're great fun, accurate and next to no recoil, I believe and man or woman can hone their large bore double rifle skills walk shooting the small bore doubles, shoulder, fire, reload, all the same regardless of bore size. My 303 weighs a tic under 10lbs.

Wildwillalaska, many Thanks for that pic tutorial, I'll have to get little Wife ahold of that and see, she's the brains of this outfit, smart girls are indeed cool, and awful handy, especially in my case ; ] BTW Tanks and 318AE, beautiful rifles, Cat and Bushbuck.

Houston Bill, I think what finally made up my mind was you CANNOT impress an Elephant, regardless of what you hit him with, we all know even a solid to the brain from Bells 6.5 and 7x57mm's got a lot done, even a 320gr Woodleigh solid on frontal brain from my 9.3x62mm at 2400 fps would be...

Mtn Infantry, I can tell you Gramps was born in 1922, he joined the Army in 1940, retired after 41 years in '81, he didn't talk much about it even though I always had ears wide open and mouth shut wanting to learn, I remember WW-II, Korea and 'Nam, he was a boot heel tough old bird, guessing a...

LOL VertigoBE, certainly not my intention to captivate, if degoins or Woodcarver wants to post up some pics I'll surely dig those two outta the safe for photos, the 577 is like a brand new sledge hammer with a black hickory handle, just a plain dark beast, the H&H is the honey colored beauty.

VertigoBE, no Sir, I've never had any pics of those two rifles posted. LOL, Foxi, no, it's true, my little bulb really does burn that dim, I need all the help from these Pros on this board I can get, and Thanks.

Alright degoins old buddy pics sent, many Thanks in advance for posting them. 303 British against tree with 40 round soft/solid culling belt, along with a 5" Damascus skinner and sheath to fit wide culling belt my old dearly departed knife maker buddy Bill Bagwell made for me, grab your...
