It is always difficult balancing the timing of an event like this. The March time frame would be really nice on the weather!

I'm booked for the ATL DSC and we will be picking vacations before long here at work. I am schedule to be off the weekend of the DSC but if this shoot is a go then I may put in for a week of vacation if it works out. Sounds like a hell of a good time!

I have been out of the loop for a little while, I just saw this. This sounds like a great time! The idea of the walking course would be a lot of fun. We had a great turn out last year. It was an excellent opportunity to swap stories and try out a lot of different rifles and calibers. Everyone...

That was a good snag! I was gonna scoop these up until I saw they had already been spoken for. Very cool item!

I had this rifle for sale a few months ago and ended up selling it to my brother in law, we did kind of a deal where we went half on it to give it to his son, my nephew this coming Oct. for his 13th birthday. I told him I might be interested in seeing if there was any other more interesting...

Don't listen to any of the naysayers. I have owned two 460wby and it is an extremely versatile cartridge. Look at the mark v dangerous game rifles. They come threaded and also in a synthetic stock. I had one and they are very accurate. I really enjoyed mine and I hope to own another one someday...

That's all I'm bringing back on this next one! That and hopefully some ivory. I'm about $20,000 into the taxidermy from the 2023 trip. It's ridiculous, but after that its done and I can just take pics from.now on! I could have had another pretty nice hunt for what I'm paying in taxidermy...

Thanks man. I will give it a go!

PM me your 3031 load for the 470 when you get a chance. I have a year and some change until my next hunt and I've got a jug of 3031. I'm curious to shoot it side by side with my 4831 load and see if I can tell a difference in the felt recoil.

I got a small bag from Lowe's and tried it out to make sure it worked and then went on Amazon and got a lifetime supply for $40 https://a.co/d/iLqFYu5

I get off work in about 3 hours and I will double check when I get home, but I'm 99% sure its 3/8

Yeah I like the 3/8, I doubt it would matter a whole lot but, the 3/8 seems to be about a perfect fit in the 470. I used 1/2 in a 500 Jeffrey once and it worked really well in that. The 3/8 should be a lot easier to get into the .458 and .416.

I purchased an industrial size roll of 3/8" foam backer rod for the times I do.need a filler. It is the perfect diameter for 470, 500, 45/70, 20 gauge shot cup spacer for hand loading TSS or magnum lead loads. I just snip off the length I need with a pair of scissors.

H4831SC. That's the powder I run in my K gun. I can switch between Hornady DGX, Swift A frames, and cutting edge solids without changing the powder charge and get basically the same POI

Yep, you definitely have to weed through the unnecessary stuff to get down to the actual info you are looking for.
