The 30-06 with a 200-gr bullet surprised me last year. The year previous to that we used 180-gr and below and the 200-gr was a visibly hitting harder. Some of the animals went straight down, not something we were used to with heart lung shots. There's a medium game guide book here somewhere that...

No flames from me, sounds good. I'll in all likelihood get the same zastava lefty action for a rifle repair I've got coming up. That or a good old Karabiner 98, I like the flag safety. All the best.

Herein lies the difference. We have a lot of game that is accessible to a 243. My hunting bud hunter did 20 years with a model 70 243. He would would laugh at this thread. I think the biggest he took was wildebeest but that was a chance meet in the bush and a great shot behind the ear. Do...

man oh man, the hate for .243 is jarring. I don't run mine hot (2700fps)'ish and can grab it out the safe now and shoot 0.300 moa with it. It is fussy and took me a while to get right, about 100 rounds and 4 charge weight changes. But I'll stick to 100-grain interlock. Keeping everything very...

Imagine the pressures in a 300 Backcountry. I mean, where are we going with this cartridge concept?

The way I see it is the difference between the 7mm PRC and the 7mm Backcountry is 4 inches of barrel. Personally, I'm not sure a new rifle and retooling is worth it. If i was entering the 7mm market knowing I would always use a suppressor and i would not reload,,, then maybe.

You are correct,.280 AI is in fact .284", 7.21mm. [Hat tip] .270 is a true 7mm.

.270 Win : Approximately 6.86 mm .280 AI : Approximately 7.11 mm 7mm Remington Magnum : about 7.21 mm 7mm-08 Remington : 7.21 mm .28 Nosler : about 7.21 mm .300 Win Mag : Approximately 7.62 mm .308 Springfield (also known as 7.62x51mm NATO): Approximately 7.62 mm Obviously, gents, what we're...

There's a Buff school here that says white if he's straight on with head up, spine over the top of the head if his head is down and on the nose if he's running at you. There's a video out there somewhere.

Noise cancelling headphones set of my tinnitus like no ones business. I'm a long time drummer, no getting away from that.

That's quite a flex. Congrats.

Just to drive home the point. I went speed testing this morning. Have you ever seen a standard deviation of 3.4 f/ps. It's the best i've ever shot. Shooting a 250gr Barnes TTSX head. Two of these shots where exactly the same value.

I'm late to the party. My .375 H&H is insanely accurate, like same hole accurate at 100m. The confidence it gives me is worth gold. It's quite a snappy rifle, I fitted a Fryer & Devik silencer which made it an easy shooter and didn't lengthen the barrel too much as the barrel mounts halfway into...

You lot are quite pessimistic, I'm surprised. IMO you need to trust Trump, not because he's playing 4D chess but because his instincts seems intact. As someone who is a gut feel calculated risk sort of guy I recognize that in him. It's also wild to live with someone like that, ask my wives, it...

You mean every day has a number?!?
