    I'm hearing BS - Set me straight on Powders being discontinued!?

    A note of caution. Sometimes it depends on when the load data was developed and who the actual manufacturer was at that time. Most powders in America are not made by the company who's name is on the label. Indeed they're frequently made by companies outside of the US but carrying the brand...

    Can't speak to the other figures, but the Australia figure is false. Under the 2005 Us Australia Free Trade Agreement we had a 0% tarrif with the US - until Trump broke the agreement by putting a tarrif on our steel and steel and aluminium. There is a 10% GST but that's a retail tax on all...

    AI in handload development

    I would never trust AI for load data unless I knew the data sources it assimilated in making its recommendation. We all know how much crap info is out there. That probably makes me an unreconstructed ludite :unsure: Given how close your hunt is, I wouldn't start changing anything. However...

    "Lighter Politics" Humour

    During a lull at a White House dinner, Melania Trump leaned over to chat with Elon Musk. "I bought Donald a parrot for his birthday. That bird is so smart, Donald has already taught him to say over two hundred words!" “That’s very impressive," said Musk “but you do realise he just speaks the...

    El Paso Saddlery web cartridge belts?

    Also be aware that there is also a South African company using the El Paso name for holsters, belts and cartridge carriers. https://elpaso.co.za/about/ I don't think there is any connection between the two companies so make sure which you're interested in.

    CZ550 MAGNUM, 458WM Situation

    By rights, a 458 Lott round shouldn't chamber in a 458WM chamber. Its not the oal but rather where the case mouth hits the start of the freebore/throat. All the suggestions re the rifle possibly having a Lott chamber may be correct. However, for safety sake have a chamber cast made and measured...

    Powder Shortage

    Last time I looked at it, only a few "Alliant powders" were actually made by Alliant. Most are manufactured by European companies, shipped to the US and rebadged by Alliant.

    Not just Europe. There wouldn't be a country left in the world that now considers the US as a reliable ally or even trustable to any degree whether in trade or defence matters. Our politicians may still be cautious about what they say, but the people are in no doubt. Bloody sad that its come to...

    The show's website has a list of exhibitors. I recognised few african safari operators on the list. Is the show normally on at the same time each year?

    Has anyone else been injured while hunting away from home?

    Several years ago I was out hunting deer when a bit of ground near a ravine collapsed with me on top of it. Long story short, shattered the ankle bones. I was lucky to have radio coms and a recovery team who were able to get me out. After surgery, plates etc recovery took many months. Even now...

    Sad to see what has happened to the once moral USA. From Leader of the Free World to Lickspittle of the Axis of Evil. In addition to aiding Russian interests in the Europe and the Middle East, within hours of Trump's February talks with Xi, China was enboldened to re start harrasment of...

    Just got engaged (again) now a question

    Don't wear one, its a major safety hazard. especially when your date notices. :D Serious comment, during my Army days, we were instructed to never wear rings. Too many instances where rings got caught on equipment etc and removed the whole finger.

    Don't put in belief in Shy News Australia being 'foreign press" It's 100% owned and controlled by News Corp ie Murdoch. The same ownership as Fox.
