My Chapuis in 375 H&H kicks out the empties just fine. I have no concerns about using it.

I would have zero interest personally. Does not do anything for me and I would not want to shoot it just for the sake of shooting it.

No 8 would have been my choice

I wonder if this is the BOSS system? It was my understanding that Winchester made these with either a break or just the weight to fine tune the barrels. You might look for the BOSS break. Not sure if Winchester parts might still be available. You could also probably just have the Tuner...

Holland & Holland Royal Paradox made in 1910. They are not giving it away but it is less than I expected @17K. Fantastic engraving and wood, priced close to what a 12 bore in similar condition would be, I suspect. Who else bird hunts where you run in to the occasional boar? Or buck...

I so want to buy this rifle! So bummed I can't swing it right now. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/double-rifles/perrin-double-rifle-9-3-x-74r-cased-w-scope.cfm?gun_id=103029204

Hankbuck, Doug, great question. I have wondered as well. I have never been checked, as I have yet to run into a warden while hunting since the law went into affect. If you had factory ammo and the factory box, that might suffice. Steel shot shells are usually marked as "Steel" as are...

I live in CA and to be sure, I am not happy that we cannot use lead of any kind to take animals legally. However, I was using Barnes X bullets by choice long before it was mandated. Not in all of my rifles but in some of them. So, my dissatisfaction is not with having to use a copper bullet...

Glad to see you have hopped on. To the rest of the forum, Jswitzer is building my 318 Westley Richards for me.

The Ruger RSM's are fantastic rifles. I have heard people criticize the bolt handle shape and maybe the earlier ones with the swivel stud in the stock. For me, the recoil of the 375 is very polite but I found the 416 to be rather unpleasant, especially after getting tagged by the scope. I...

I will take in to consideration the availability of components or even the difficulty of "making" the ammo as in having a lot of steps to make the brass from a different cartridge. This usually affects the asking price. A nice custom rifle will usually have a lower price if it is in an odd ball...

Nope. No way. Not a chance. All the more reason to roll your own! Brass might be expensive but so what? Usually it's a one time purchase.

I do think that the Barnes x has elevated the effectiveness of many rifles. When they first came out I had a friend loading them up for his 257 wby. He was amazed by the results on game. Bullets holding together at those speeds are devastating on game animals. I have also been impressed with...

Those rifles are incredible!

Sent my nephew last summer to South Africa with handloads using the 129 gr barnes LRX. Sable, kudu and on down the list without any issues.
