Hows their tag draw system?

Hello All, I am looking for recommendations for a good Wyoming Antelope hunt (rifle) outfitter with a high success rate. Thanks as always!

The reality is, I see a lot of .44 mag proponents touting 1,300 ft-lbs from a .44 mag. I have never seen a reasonably carryable .44 magnum that could do that. I owned a redhawk 4" and a s&w 29 5.5". The redhawk handloads with a near max charge of H110 topped out at 1040 fps with a 310 WFN...

That is probably the worlds most expensive Hasenpfeffer!

45acp+p: 230 gr. LFN - 950fps -461 ft-lbs 45 super 230 gr. LFN - 1150 fps - 675ft-lbs 460 Row. 230 gr. LFN - 1330fps - 900ft-lbs 460 rowland is a whole conversion. 45 super can be fired in most lightly modified, fully supported 45ACP guns.

I've never been asked what I am shipping by fedex, UPS Or USPS. I exclusively use USPS because it is cheaper than the other two where I live. The dipwad at the counter is the last person I want to be aware that I am shipping a gun. The only thing you cant ship through USPS is ammo. Long guns...

Never tell the USPS that you are shipping a gun. It is in their packaging instructions. There is no problem shipping a gun you own to a gunsmith and having it returned to you.

Here is the finished product

If your interested in starting with a beat up rifle, heres one I did several years ago. Started out as a rusty whitworth. You might be able to find a beat up 416 rem you can remake in your own image. I did all the work on this one from rebluing to stock shaping, finishing and checkering The...

Man at that point, I'd shell out $1,550 and get a brand new CRF winchester M70 in .416 Rem mag, straighten the bolt handle out, put custom wood on it, new sights and call it a day. Nothing wrong with them from the factory, but this thread was about a custom rifle... so I would definitely...

The black bear in my avatar was taken with one shot from a .416 Ruger loaded with a 340 grain woodleigh weldcore PP at 2,600fps Not surprisingly, the round went through and through and dropped the bear where he stood. Took one the year before with a Winchester .375 H&H. That was a the old 300...

sorry, its a 20lb. Fat finger mistake. 9 is right next to 0. 29 would have been real tough to cycle haha

This only works with a fully supported 1911 barrel! Dont try .45 super with a standard 1911 barrel! A ramped barrel is what you need, then youd be all set. You run the risk of a case rupture with an unsupported barrel. The ramped barrel is what you need and converting a convential barrel to it...

Putting a ported barrel on the .45 super slows slide velocity down. This is mine. Solid steel guide rod, 29 lb spring, efk fire dragon ported 5.75" barrel in a springfield XD. Originally, I was pushing a 250 grain RNFP at 1050fps with Power Pistol, but settled on a 200 grain WFN at 1,250fps and...

O Oof! Thats a bit of a cobjob huh?
