Well, you made an informed choice, so that’s good. You’re light years ahead of me back when I was trying to get smart on bullets and believing all of the marketing bullcrap from Hornady and Berger. So yes, the bullet to use…..Swift.

I think Cabela’s might be clearing out their Federal Premium .308 cartridges in Swift Scirocco II bullets. After Christmas, marked down like $12 or something…$47.98 from $59.99. Knowing Cabelas, that markdown might just put it in line with other sellers, don’t know. Either way, I think...

Nice! And if anyone’s interested in a Mauser M12 Swede, I can report that it shoots nuts on. What a cartridge, I never knew.

Looks like you guys know what you’re doing with those bullets. Good work. Anybody want some boxes of Federal/Berger 165? “Hybrid Hunter” of course. What a joke.

.416 Rigby Bushveld here, and completely agree. NDWoods…. The Bushveld is lighter than some other guns, so the .416 Rigby round packs a punch. FWIW, I’ve got the Blaser R8 in .458 Lott with a steel receiver, and it weighs probably 3-4 pounds more than the Bushveld. Even with the R8’s weight...

Thanks guys!

I hope this isn’t a land mine topic, and I’m just trying to collect my thoughts on the NRA currently. Oliver North disappeared abruptly from the NRA scene, and I think his Outdoor Channel show seemed to cease just as quickly. Wayne LaPierre stuck around for a while, and now he and his finely...

Fantastic, thanks. I’ll keep an eye out. Your guns look great.

As with anything, it’s a matter of degree. If you’re certain that it’s going to be a good day for weather and if the brush is minimal, then yes by all means, pull out your unobtainium 12 or 20 gauge and have fun. But if things look rough from the start, why do that if you have options? When...

Hedge or Dave, Is that 7x57 or 7x57R? Only reason is because I have a Merkel K3 in 7x57R, which presents some challenge in ammo, although reloading makes it a small matter I guess. Just curious. Thanks guys.

Well, smarter people figured this out way before I did. Berger "Hybrid Hunter".... wow, cool. Really accurate bullets that Berger is known for, and now they're being made for hunters! Lemme have 4 or 5 boxes of Federal ammo tipped with Berger beauties! Throw in some Berger bullets as well...

She has 51 cards.

It’s a narcissistic trait as well. Not stolen valor but annoying are the vets who let you know about it 24/7. A Navy guy in camp last week had vehicle stickers and wore t shirts that included “Vietnam veteran”, “Gulf war veteran” in every conceivable way. At dinners, story after story, on and...

Agree. And if you like attending the forums, you’ll probably need another day. They can take a chunk out of your convention floor time.

If you can’t decide between two or three, then just buy them both or all. Problem solved.
