    My baby got a haircut

    Do you have provisions for attaching a front sight or is the rear sight just holding until relieved? I thought about cutting mine to 16" and moving the sights back for the option to suppress when I wanted to. I felt like the .375 needs maximum velocity to maintain what it needs to be the...

    505 Gibbs vs 500 Jeffery. Thoughts on these heavy hitters? Alternatives?

    The second shot is half the fun. Getting back up and slamming that second shell home is a rush! Of course you have to do it without dancing backwards...

    The Big Bore Dilemma

    This is an amazing display. I love the smooth cycling from the shoulder. This is nearly as cool as @Aussie_Hunter, but to be fair he had an R8. Very impressive!

    .458 Lott Ammunition

    I'm not shooting African game with them...they were cheap and it was mostly a joke. It would be nice for someone to come out with Lott ammunition and not feel like it was worth $20/shot. Some times we like to hunt or shoot with big rifles and not spend our lunch money quickly.

    500 grain Interbonds @2400fps! Fight me!

    Allure of the Ruger No1

    If it's a big bore...someone will pay a lot for it. I have always said that if I ever dropped my .458 Lott, it wouldn't hit the ground. The .450 NE crowd seems to be crazier than the Lotties. I always wondered about a .416 Rigby myself.

    Allure of the Ruger No1

    I'm not sure that's a thing on the tropical models. Perhaps for those pencil barrels...but The Beautiful Lady and The Businesswoman don't get excited about such things.

    The .35 Whelen Pistol

    How does QL compare the .35 to the 9.3? I'd be curious to see what a 125 .357 xtp would do in a .35 W or even an AI. I'm forming the cases out of 06 brass either way...

    The .35 Whelen Pistol

    That's a thought. A lot of potential there. Interesting concept and I enjoy how you stayed within the .30-06 wheelhouse on brass. Super cool idea. Well you've discovered what effect I'm looking for.

    The .35 Whelen Pistol

    I hear you there, I was just trying to be more practical with the .30-06 or .308 cases I have in quantity. The .35 Rem seems to be drying up fast as far as I can tell.

    The .35 Whelen Pistol

    Well it was going to be a ten inch barrel as that would be handier under a coat and such. Well the idea was to take .30-06 parent case and do something easy with it that would also work from a short barrel. It sounds as though the .358 Win is probably a better option for this application. I...

    The .35 Whelen Pistol

    I think it would be like the .357 Sig...nificantly over powered, loud and a show stopper.

    The .35 Whelen Pistol

    Now I know that this sounds ridiculous from the title, but hear me out. What are the load possibilities for this cartridge for extraordinarily light bullets and shorter barrels? I'm curious to know how it would do with .357 magnum bullets turned way up out of say a 10-15" barrel. Could this be...

    My Ceska 550 Safari Magnun in 458 Lott.

    I concur that this site fosters madness. I had a 300 Win Mag before I found this place. I had a curiosity about the .375 H&H and the digging I did here led to my own adventures with the medium and large bores. It has been enjoyable.

    Big Bores for small things

    This is pretty awesome. Clearly demonstrates the control of the energy transfer on such a small and delicate animal.
