San Pelligrino and chilled pineapple juice, 5:1 ratio, I prepare a liter and drink it by noon. Next batch as above with macerated fresh spearmint from my garden for the afternoon. Next batch for an evening cocktail with Grey Goose with mint. Single varietal Ethiopian mountain coffee next...

I think some here, reloading for decades have had some issues. Mine was my screw up setting the shoulder back too far, in a sporterized VZ 24 30/06 with excessive headspace. Blown primer and gas in my face. Reality check in becoming a much more careful reloader. But I never had a firing pin...

That’s a helluva experience. Good your eye is okay. What brand of 223 rifle?

@Hunter-Habib , thank you for your post. I have thought a bit about the history of the Belgian Congo hunting. Belgian made firearms are something special. FN Mauser 98 rifles pre 1960 are excellent. A favorite handgun is a pre 1968 Belgian made Browning Hi Power. Today, that same quality in...

Good loving sentiments. I had 2 years with my mother after my father passed. Up until the end her mind was sharp and she told a couple of scammers to “go to hell “. Of course I was on the account and protected her money. My 65 year old sister, recently widowed was scammed out of $20000. Today...

I really understand that situation that can go from difficult to stressful. Prayers for your mom.

That's a helluva deal! GLWS.

Thanks for the photo. Looks similar in markings like a 416 Taylor (custom) I had at one time. I'm just trying to talk myself out of another rifle! Good price, GLWS.

Nice rifle. How does it shoot? Does it have Belgian proof marks? I like the 3-leaf classic Express sights.

Thank you that’s exactly what I was thinking. Crafty little critters!

Question borne out of ignorance. What is it ranch cat?

Man ain’t that the truth! I was seriously thinking then maybe I should have bought a 7mm-08 or 260 Remington on the AR-10 platform instead of 308. I was shopping AR-10 uppers. 308 Winchester/ 7.62x51 ammunition was the first thing sold out in my area.

Thank you @Hunter-Habib . The history of Kenya hunting is fascinating. I remember Finn Aagard writing that the 30-06 firing 220 SP bullets was very effective on PG. When I lived in the upstate of South Carolina,25 years ago, the Remington 220 grain Core Lokt was available in any store, from a...

What I’m really wondering about is the retail availability of 308 and 30-06 in other than RSA countries like Namibia, Zambia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe and Tanzania?

I grabbed the last two boxes of WW 7x57 145 PP, during the “ mostly peaceful “ riots that summer from a local pawn shop that had decent ammo selection. Ammoseek was a great resource, that my shooting buddy and I used to get 9mm and 45ACP, and we pounced on a case of IMI 5.56 from Midway. I had...
