I think a lot of people who haven't experienced a charge from dangerous came (me included), in this case cape buffalo are forgetting the power of intent. Intent plays a major role in violence of action. If we are waiting for them to be within 10 yards to shoot, they can cross that distance in...

I've only ever experienced feral hogs popping their teeth at me. I can't imagine the sounds a bear makes doing it.

Can you set up a ground blind or do you need the full 360 visibility? If you're worried about affecting the free float just run a piece of tape lengthwise on the barrel section over the forend if you can.

Here in Texas.

Ullman Precision sells kits, I'm about to start practicing with my 20 lpi kit.

I started the inletting process but now before I go any deeper I'm taking the barrel back off and getting everything to an even 320 grit.

Alright Finally getting back in to this and realized how long it's been. I have a few photo updates. I'm doing this all by hand in my apartment other than cutting the blank in to stock shape at my dad's shop and the quarter rib, barrel band and sight made/prepped by Matt Roberts. I've done the...

I've spent more money there than I'd like to admit. Always quality people and interactions and very helpful if you need it.

I do wish Sierra would bring back the old 105 grain round nose bullets.

The only animal that didn't drop on the spot when shot with my 243 was a coyote shot somewhere just over a couple hundred yards with an 80 grain Barnes TTSX. He started spinning in circles and a quick follow-up put him down. I don't know how many pigs and deer here in Texas I've killed with it...

What's the barrel length? Apologies if I missed it.

I load with 80 Grains of H4350 and get an average velocity of 2210 in my rifle. I personally don't need to load it up to 2300 fps. The difference on game is negligible. For me anywhere in that range and find the load for accuracy.

I once took a ship from San Diego to the coast of Somalia, there wasn't much interaction with the locals though. For some reason the presence of Wasp class amphibious assault ship slowed down the local industry for a while. We cruised around off the coast for 128 days, I was quite bored. It...
