Yep, nothing to see here. Why would you have any concerns entrusting your children to these loonies?

I have that exact gun and it’s mate in .410 both with 30” tubes. Hardest hitting .410 I’ve ever seen as browning did an extreme overbore on those guns.

Thanks, I have visited with them. I’m working with a gunmaker/gun dealer friend in London. I really like that approach as he does a full inspection and corrects any issues before the gun leaves the UK. It is also much less expensive than buying English guns in the USA.

Surely even the faithful have had about enough. Lake America, the Gulf of America, New America, claim the Straight of Hormuz as US territory, give the Falkland Islands to Argentina. Seriously, does he think he’s the emperor of the world???

I’m working on acquiring a vintage 2” 12 ga. If successful, my son will likely finally pry the 28 out of my gun room.

OK, for those of you that think Trump has not completely lost his mind, can you please explain to me what he is up to regarding the Falkland Islands? Is he just trying to encourage a war that will take our attention off whatever you want to call the situation in Iran?

Thanks. I’ve been on the lookout for a D profile bbl. They are not easy to come by. I have more buffalo than I know what to do with, but I’ve got a hankering to hunt one with a No 1 in .450/400 using one of Roger Renner’s ghost ring sights.

But it sounds like you are having hendershots load ammo for you? If so, they can solve this problem for you.

I’m a little lost on this thread. If you want to shoot a heavier bullet with a different ogive, why can’t you just measure the desired overall length needed and load to that length? You may take up some case capacity by doing so but powder selection should resolve any issues. What am I missing?

Obviously you do this with a dummy round.

You get close by blacking bullets and then backing off loa until it just clears the lands. Then backing off for your desired ‘jump’ and you know where to set loa.

Yep, I use Norma brass for my rifles.

I load the 160’s for NA. Absolutely excellent load for the 7x57/.275. As mentioned above, for bigger critters in the bush where you never shoot past 200, I prefer the 175’s. They offer better penetration. I get total pass through with them, even on the quartering shots on larger PG.

If your plan is to use the rifle in the African bush on plains game, you are giving up a lot of capability by not using 175 gr A-Frames. I am surprised that they cannot be loaded to the same overall length as any other bullet, just giving up some powder capacity. What overall length keeps you...

Sorry, I should have explained, the rifles with the C weight barrels (more common) weigh 9.0 pounds. The D weight version comes in at 9.75 pounds. I’m trying to figure out which one you have.
