    Favorite caliber for cape buffalo?

    Beautiful Taylor! Mine is in the gunmakers vise as I type this. I hope it turns out as stunning and as effective as yours, sir!

    Proper Gin and Tonic

    I’m a Beefeater g&t guy. I make my own tonic syrup. It’s a game changer. I can control the sweetness, the bitterness and the flavor profile. Google Morgenthaler Tonic Syrup for a starter recipe. I. Use TopoChico for bubbles.

    Accuracy expectations from a Ruger M77?

    My only experience is three MkII 77's. Two have/are being rebarreled ( out of choice not necessity). The '06 is the only one wearing original barrel. These are CRF Lefties. They shoot 1MOA or less. As others have said, Barrel, stock, action screws all matter.

    Just purchased a 416 Taylor - Yep seemed like a good idea !

    I got dies from Redding a couple months ago. While they were "'custom series" dies, they were already made so I didn't have to wait for them. I was told by the guy that I spoke with that Redding usually keeps some on shelf. My experience only.

    Wanted - 2x 416 Taylor reloading die sets

    I bought a set from Redding a couple months ago. I'd check or check back as I was told they had them on the shelf. I was given a part number and directed to an intermediary who ordered part at my direction. Two weeks later, I get a die set. I don't know ow, maybe just my lucky day. Best of luck

    Heavy Bullets in the 35 Whelen

    My .35 Whelen (Ruger #1)loves 280 and 250 gr A Frames over healthy doses of Target. Good luck finding either pill these days though

    Can a 9.3x74r achieve 5400 joules?

    For 286 gr bullets velocity will need to be >2410 fps to break 5000j. For 300gr bullets velocity will need to be >2353 fps to break 5000j. Last time I looked Namibia did NOT have a .375 caliber restriction.

    .338-06 for Plains Game?

    My Ruger #1 has made 2 trips. I carried it on my first and my daughter carried it on her first. 225gr A Frames are bad PG medicine! Just about perfect. Killed kudu, gemsbok, zebra and smaller stuff. As to headstamps, it depends on where you are going. Namibia has not checked in multiple trips.
