    Is there a perfect plains game calibre?

    In my mind, 30-06. the huge bullet selection is a big part of that.

    Using Speer Grand Slams in the 375 H&H, PG and Cape Buffalo??

    A lot of people love .375 Barnes TSX 300 grain bullets, myself included. I also love Cutting edge .375 brass solids.

    Under 40 days —— Arrrrrrrrgh

    I second this, Glad you seem to have it figured out! Only time I have ever broken a stock, I was using it as a club. I was trying to deer hunt in a cow pasture, and one of my cows decided I was to close to her baby.

    308 Win or 9.3x62 Mauser for Plains Game Hunt

    I am not arguing with you because at this point we are really splitting hairs. My personal preference for a .30 cal non magnum cartridge is the 30-06 over the .308 Even though the .308 does have an accuracy advantage over the 30-06. I am not shooting at 500 yards at camp perry with a hunting...

    .223 with 60 Gr Rhino bullet on Impala or bigger?

    I can assure you that combo is fine for humans fired out of a 20” barrel. I don’t see why it would fail on a 80 lb impala.

    NRA: Does anyone on AH know what is REALLY going on?

    Let’s say I am on a board member of a non profit. I vote to pay 80 million a year to a marketing firm. Then the marketing firm hires me, and pays me $250k to show up at the non profits annual convention. WTF.........

    Brass problem question

    Brass work hardens quite rapidly. Every time you fire, and every time you resize, the neck gets harder, and more brittle. Without annealing, I get maybe 4 reloads out of my 30-06 fired out of my M1. Annealing after every two reloads, I get 8. At 9 reloads, the neck is so thin they start...

    308 Win or 9.3x62 Mauser for Plains Game Hunt

    I am going to say the 9.3 because I really hate the .308 It gives up a lot to the 30-06 in terms of power and the ability to handle heavy bullets. It gives up a lot to the Swedish 6.5 and 6.5 Creedmor in terms of long range precision and wind resistance. It just didn’t do anything well...

    Member Advisory: New US travel restrictions to Cuba

    The entire rest of the world has normal relations with the Cuba. By your logic, it is impossible to not have your population in poverty unless the United States trades with you.

    Hunting over pointing dogs

    Fire ants destroyed our bobwhite population, I haven’t heard one in years. For ducks.. heck my ponds are small enough that a johnboat works just as well on the rare occasions they don’t land on dirt. Now for squirrels, working on that. The current bitch has them halfway eaten before you can...

    NRA: Does anyone on AH know what is REALLY going on?

    Right now their is a fight for the heart and soul of the NRA. It started when Bush sr was in office. He signed an executive order to limit the importation of barrels. This was to stem the tide of surplus AK-47 parts kits into the United States. Former comblok countries were stripping the FA fire...

    Silencer/Moderator Use

    Some places won’t allow you to hunt without suppression. They are very useful for pest work, where you are trying to knock down as many as possible. My neighbors don’t appreciate a .308 going off at 2 am when the coyotes are out.
