Quite the opposite. .416 Rigby (400-grain bullet): .330 SD Note: 410-grain bullets have an SD of .338 .458 Winchester Magnum (500-grain bullet): .341 SD .338 Winchester Magnum (225-grain bullet): .281 SD Note: 250-grain bullets have an SD of .313 .375 H&H Magnum (300-grain bullet)...

Maybe your firing pin has some grease or gunk in the mechanics. Maybe also a cold day at the range. Then a couple of years in warm dry conditions allowed the pin to free up or whatever was blocking it came loose? I would clean the firing pin and spring and the hole that it sits in thoroughly...

Probably because the stock dried out and shrunk. Especially if you have a dehumidifier in your gun cabinet.I see you are in Texas, probably the cause. For that reason I did not put localities on mine, I just cranked them tight during a dry part of the year-winter in my case. They haven’t...

Personally, I think that your first thought should be towards the gun that you are most familiar with. When you see how often people are left yanking on the trigger because someone forgot the safety or the safety is in a different place eg shifting from a CZ side safety to a shotgun tang safety...

That is interesting, I would suggest that the powder weight difference at 5 or 6 grains is pretty small compared to bullet weight and rifle weight and so has less significance. It would suggest the Hornady load is travelling at higher velocity. I have a 458 lott. The difference between 2050 fps...

I do half marathon./ 3/4 marathons in Zimbabwean conditions. So I have researched and used rehydration salts. Also hunted/ guided/ filmed hunts. Generally I am acclimated to zim conditions in Harare- so 35 deg max. But I have lived and worked in Mozambique and Chiredzi so no stranger to 45 deg...

Ai summarises the knowledge on the Internet. Therefore the more woke nonsense there is, the more woke nonsense AI will spout. There is also strong evidence that it self samples. AI has already produced so much information that it outweighs all the previous data on the web. It now uses its own...

Victorinox multi-colour for me. I have had a Leatherman wave but it was stolen. The Victorinox is big but better quality.

Honeybadger flipper for me. Mostly open boxes and pop bottle caps but have used it to open up holes in impala leg to tie it on the back of my 4x4. I often mull over the perfect etc, should it be a Swiss army knife with useful gadgets or a plier based leatherman or just a plain knife blade. I...

One Day you left out the most difficult to feed bullet shape, the flat nosed solid. Especially the shorter lead core solids like Hornady DGS. I reckon if your gun feeds those, it will feed anything. But as you say, test, test and test again.

I live in Zim and have camped and hunted all over the country. I have filmed for wildlife documentaries and filmed hunting. Nuanetsi is amazing-huge numbers of plainsgame,leopard and buffalo. Some unusual zim animals like Nyala are common. I also saw bushpig and honey badgers during the day so...

I am preparing for snow in sunny Zimbabwe, IvW has gone over to the the darkside! I never thought I would see the day that you bought a 458 win mag. It looks like an interesting rifle. Ihope it shoots well for you.

308 with 168 gr ttsx will be good for the Kudu as well as all the smaller game. 6.5 cm is a little light in my opinion but is a great springbok/impala calibre. I would suggest some heavier and tougher bullets if you do want to push that 6.5 cm. The heaviest ttsx you can find would be a good...

Why the he'll is that banana brown

+1 just need to round the edges. It helps a whole lot to reduce felt recoil. Those corners dig in.
