Of the options you listed, I would choose the Barnes TSX. But, if you want A-Frames another source is Hendershots. I had them make up two custom loads for me using the 300g A-Frame and the North Fork Cup Point Solid to hunt Buff. They both shot great, and to the same POI. But, I tried the...

As far as taking the 28N to Africa, it should perform just fine with well constructed bullets. But, I tend to look at these things differently. I ask, what is the main benefit of a 7mm rifle that shoots faster than the 7x57mm Mauser? It is faster with the same weight of bullet It may be able...

I will offer my perspective. I have a 4" Colt Anaconda in 44mag. It is not a particularly accurate pistol and the recoil is light compared to your new 460. I am not all that recoil sensitive and I can only tolerate about six shots at a time before it becomes unpleasant. Just saying. I hunted...

When I saw your post, I thought it said "From the River to the Sea". I first thought it was about Palestinian political strife in the Middle East, lol.

South African temporary import rules from USA require that we arrive using the most recent CBP form for the 4457. I went last year and since that time, the form was revised. So, I had to return to CPB to get a new form filled out. I listed a rifle and scope on each form. Last year, I took...

Electrical engineer, inventor, business owner. I am an energy systems geek and inventor or co-inventor on five US and two international patents. Those did not make me rich but did not hurt either. About 20+ yrs ago, I left a cushy job to form two new companies and to work on my ideas. If you...

"Guns are like Horsepower. Too much is almost enough." I do not know how many I own. When I was younger and poorer, I still tried to add one or two per year. I have only sold or traded away four firearms and I regretted all of them. So, I stopped selling or trading away guns. We are...

Do you still have the original stock?

My usual go to is 1.5 oz of Bourbon that was age stamped in a proper Glencairn glass, served neat except for 3-6 drops of spring water to wake it up. Hint: If the bourbon was aged long enough to be great, it will wear an age stamp prominently on the label and if it was not, well they will not...

I voted for the Rock Island 1911 Colt which is a good pistol for a newer production unit. It is plain but well done and shoots good. With that said I own four 1911's. The two that I use are a Series 70, 5" gun with limited, practical mods like a hand fitted match bushing, beveled mag well...

I have found the trade show info-babes to not be good for much other than to lure potential buyers into the booth. Most lack the technical background to discuss bullet structural failures. Whoever has been heading up engineering at Winchester has been well off the mark for many years. I shoot...

I used Winchester Silvertips in 165g 308 offering exactly one time on deer. I had been hunting WV deer for several years with a 308 and had taken about five up to that point all with the 165g Nosler BT's using my own handloads which were about 1grain below max with WW748 powder. They had...

I get your point brother. I think we are mostly of the same mind on this issue. You sound like a very experienced hunter. I too have killed many critters using a variety of lead core bullets. For many years, my go to was either the 308 or the 270 loaded with Nosler BT's in 165g or 130g...

You have never used the TSX or other copper monolithic bullet on animals, and that qualifies you to claim they are not good hunting bullets? How so? My advice is that you try them and then build an opinion based on actual experience. You are correct that they were developed and required in...

I have had some great results with other Federal Premium ammo products and had heard good things about Terminal Accent. I tried it at the range with both my 308 and my 30-06 and it simply did not shoot to my accuracy stds. The 308 is ammo picky and shoots Federal Fusion the best and I used it...
