MY 1909 Parker. I like it a lot :)

I have a Model 70 Super Grade in 7mm Rem Mag and used it to take the biggest deer I've ever taken. It wasn't a great shot, but the 7 had enough zoot to still put him down for good. I really like Model 70's. A couple years ago I came across a pair of new ones on Guns America or International...

I hope to get my Cape Buffalo now in the next four years...with either my .375 Weatherby M1917 or my .460 Weatherby M1917 :)

I'm not sure. Maybe not. The .450 Jeffrey and the .460 Weatherby are basically the same thing. Only real difference is the Weatherby has a belt. Way back in the 1950's, Roy Weatherby took the .416 Rigby case, added a belt, and necked it down to .378. The thing was basically nuclear. He...

.460 Weatherby. I'm building one, right now, on an Enfield M1917 action, with an A-Square stock with two mercury recoil reducers. We'll see how hard it beats me :) Ballistics are hard to beat....

I'm building an A-Square Hannibal clone in .460 Weatherby right now. Magazine will hold three plus one in the tube....I figure four is enough for a turn bolt. My original A-Square clone is a .375 Weatherby which I think is an excellent cartridge. I've put about 60-80 .375 H&H's out of it and...

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 MV^2 Momentum = MV So really, they're both velocity dependent. I will agree that once you start getting up there in velocity that it does blow stuff up. I really like the .264 Winchester on deer, but it blows them up much more than a .270 Winchester does. I use a .270...

For anyone that wants to compute their pet load.... Energy in foot pounds = 0.5 * (bullet weight in grains / 7000) * (velocity)^2 / 32.17 Example: .375 Weatherby with 300gr at 2885 ft/s (I've chrono-graphed two of mine and got 2885 and 2889 ft/s) Energy = (0.5)*(300/7000)*(2885)^2 / 32.17...

Luvthunt, I went on their site and didn't see this one. Does it have another model name?

Hard to argue $180!

Hi Gang, I just loaded some .460 Weatherby Magnum rounds in my old trusty RCBS Rock Chucker Press. The .458 Lott I loaded in it was pushing it, but the .460 Roy was really too long for this press. I had to stick the bullet up into the die with my right hand, then feed the case into the shell...

I love the .264 Winnie. It's NUCLEAR on white tail deer :)

"It's better to burn out, than fade away!" - The Kurgan (who might have stolen it from Joan Jett....) The Kurgan is much cooler than Joan Jett....

It sure is pretty!

Hard to pick just three!
