Whipped up some loads for my 270 ackley improved going to see how it likes the 145 gr eld-x

That sounds awesome! I am looking forward to reading your report. We are beyond excited about our safari and have always talked about it but this trip just kind of fell in our lap so we decided to just go ahead and take the plunge together

I just completed a work up for my brother's 280 ackley, I tried the 160 gr nosler partition, 160 gr nosler accubond and 150 gr barnes ttsx all with h4831sc powder. His rifle did not shoot the partitions very good they averaged about 1.1" across all powder changes, his rifle shot the accubonds...

My wife has been a trooper so far but I am sure she will start to get annoyed with me when we get closer especially with all of the what do you think type of questions ive been throwing at her lol but we have been talking about our 1st safari together ever since we where teenagers

Gemsbok and blue wildebeest are my top 2 animals i really want on this safari.

My wife and I just booked our airline tickets for our safari in south africa and we are beyond excited! We booked through gracy travel and will be taking the delta flight from dfw to atl to Johannesburg and staying the night at the citi lodge and our outfitter will be picking us up the following...

I use the ttsx for my pronghorn hunts because the meat damage is minimal

Loaded up 20 rounds of 30-378 weatherby for some practice off the sticks. 95.5 gr of h1000 pushing a 199 gr stone hammer bullet

More than likely what will happen is ill end up taking my 7mm because I've had it for 20 years now and the 8mm is still relatively new to me but who knows maybe I'll just take both

The 375 h&h proved to be still on

A little range trip today to confirm zero on the 8mm and 375 before my new practice routine which i am glad I did because I had to make some adjustments, some of the best shooting ive done with this rifle

Ok perfect I'll start to throw in some closer range targets
