Clintons scenario no 3, is what I have envisioned 2-3 days ago. (min 20:20 apprx) When deciding not go back to work. It keeps me wake at night, too.

Its not 21 miles wide. (although even if that is true, it would be narrow enough). It is only as wide as shipping lanes are wide, and as shipping lanes are deep. Who ever is interested can do the google search.

Next jump in political and economic pressure ladder will be when oil storage facilities are full, and production without export has to be stopped. My guess the last to stop is saudi, as they have a sort of releif valve through their pipline to red sea, but still not sufficient. Weeks to go...

My first safari was 100% success. I completed all what I expected and all what I had listed, but overall cumulative cultural and emotional experience was more then expected. Memories of my first safari are still alive in my head, like it was yesterday (in fact it was in 2017, almost 9 years by...

Meanwhile, on EU economic front:

For training I shoot cheap stuff. Difference in POI in my rifles for premium and FMJ are workable for training. My main center fire training calibers are 308 win and 30-06. For training I shoot FMJ. In my 30-06 difference is maybe 2 inches in POI, which I compensate by changing POA 308 win is...

Anyway you put it, food shortages will be felt in entire region. Maybe globally. https://www.fb.org/market-intel/middle-east-tensions-raise-spring-planting-concerns

You are joking, right? The effect is opposite. Iran feeds gulf countries with agricultural products. They dont need food imports https://www.fao.org/iran/our-office/iran-at-a-glance/en qoute/unqoute Iran’s proximity to a large regional market, that of its neighboring countries as well as...

Unless the iran retaliate in same way. Send drones across the gulf to oilfields and refineries. Then entire area is set back for 50 years. Be reminded what Ukranian seaborn and aerial drones did to Russian fleet in black sea. And oilfields across the gulf in allied states are sitting ducks, I...

On my buffalo, I found three soft points, premiums, swift a frames, 375 HH, 300 grains, under skin, opposite side. So perfect penetration through vitals, no exit wound.

yes. pure penetration

In the time when the only option was cup and core soft point this was the holding doctrine. Clients were advised: first shot soft point to make maximum damage, and when buffalo turns, next place a solid. Either in brain if charging, or diagonal shot if he is running away for maximum...

If I get discount, yes. If I dont get discount, or worse (higher price because of celebrity status), no. If outfitter offers something really special, for a price affordable to me, and other outfitters dont have the same thing available, yes. Then celebrity status is irrelevant. Generally...

I hunted about 25 species up to buffalo and ele. I can say this. - You must decide. 1 shot on DG against multiple shots on PG. Add the danger element for buffalo - Of all my hunts, buffalo stands out - Africa is so diverse, and I want to try other things, so my next buffalo will have to...

Dont speak about 243! You are stirring the hot pot! @Bob Nelson 35Whelen can hear you! :LOL: @Miletic Congrats on good shooting!
