I have a 458 win mag which I reamed to lott. In win mag format, I used 480 gr hornady solids and 480 gr and 450 gr Peregrine Vrg solids (copper solids). All are reliable performers so pick your preference. In addition, I would use North Fork 450 gr and most factory ammo that makes 2150 fps...

I think Africahunting forum has people that have hunted with pretty much all the best PHs and hunting companies in Africa. So do your research. I am willing to step up and vouch for people I know, Gary and Neil Duckworth, Thierry Labat, Johan Bezeidenhoudt. Good people, personal friends, I...

I realise now that you simply wanted a pat on the back for finding an old article about a bullet that you can no longer get. I am sorry that I said anything. Kudos on your interesting article, have a nice day.

Blindly loving or hating the TSX creates these endless arguments in forums. Understand the bullet and its properties and use it appropriately. It is well suited to calibres like 300 prc. High velocity, larger diameter bullet- already overkill for most plainsgame. Maybe not so good in a 45-70...

With a left right barrel, you are going to have the rifle recoiling with a lot of twist. You can only port the outside. If you port upwards only, you will still have twist. Probably be difficult to regulate and possibly uncomfortable to fire. On another note, please remove yourself from the...

I considered the same sling mounts for my 458. But I have never had a problem with the factory mounts on my CZ. As for barrel mounts, again I have never needed them so why bother. I used to carry my rifle in my hands with no sling but find it easier to be safe and I am less fatigued with a...

The rigby I probably a better design- lower pressure, more reasonable recoil than the weatherby but it was late to the party and probably sliding into the realm of specialty cartridges. The rigby also doesn't offer much in the way of improvement- sure energy is up but penetration is very...

What Farmer_john said + I think FFP are useful for Shooters that hold for distance and wind because 1 mil is 1 mil at all magnifications. SFP is useful for people who dial distance and windage because the crosshairs remain the same size at all magnifications. And if you are dialing, you don't...

Trigger is adjustable. Once out of the stock, you can adjust weight, length of travel, sear overlap etc. You can also adjust away the set trigger if you want. I took my 2 apart and polished the contact surfaces with fine sandpaper and I have very nice light triggers with a minimum of creep.

I think your decision should start with - what is your range and what is your target. General plainsgame and DG - pretty much everything under 300m and 99% from 20-200 m. For me, I like a 1x for close up and probably 4 x is the absolute minimum. So your choices at1-6 are right on the money...

I use a Peregrine VRG solid myself but it wasn’t an option. They are easily available for me and the others are not. I would use 3,4,5,6 and 9. Haven’t any real knowledge. Wouldn’t use 1 and 2. Don’t really know much about 7 and 8. For me, reliable feeding is very important. Terminal...

The locking lever does not usually lock up centered. It is usually at a slight angle. I don't think there is a specific measurement but a stand to be corrected.

Get various bullet shapes and make up some dummy rounds with them. A flat nose solid is usually to trouble causer. Make sure they feed 100%. You can bed the rifle and put some threaded rod through the wrist of the stock if you like. I have a CZ with factory crossbolts. I bedded the 2 recoil...

But surely they are setting the barrel up in the lathe to take it down to the correct diameter for threading ? It would be a simple task to simply turn down the barrel for the sight ? Just a little step that might leave a shoulder but the sight barrel band will cover it up ? I guess it is...
