    Will the tariffs affect safari pricing or airline tickets??

    I got that same email from Splitting Image Taxidermy. Still waiting on my taxidermy from August 2023.

    375 H&H - DGX/DGS or TSX?

    Barnes TSX 300 gr is what I shoot exclusively in my 375 H&H. No reason to even look at anything else.

    Will the tariffs affect safari pricing or airline tickets??

    The people who panic and make moves to get out of the market during these times are making a big mistake. I just retired this past September and yes, my retirement portfolio is down quite a bit. But, you have to stay the course. I have a great financial adviser and he is not panic'ing at all...

    Shotgun choices for a Woman

    Well, that settles it then. If she bought a complete Beretta outfit she has to match that with a shotgun. The Beretta store can easily fit her for a nice 2 barrel set O/U. One a 20 gauge, the other a 28 gauge. She will thank me, your checkbook won't! LOL

    Shotgun choices for a Woman

    I don’t know where you live (OP) but if you can take her to a Beretta store they will really help fit her into the right shotgun. To get her hooked, she needs to be fitted for the right shotgun in the right gauge. The experts will help her accomplish that.

    How much Ammo is “Enough”?

    Interesting topic and I think a lot of it depends on your age and where you are at in life as well. As an avid reloader for many years, I have a lot of ammo loaded but also have a lot of components. Unless I start shooting, a lot, I will never shoot what I have if you combine all of the calibers...

    Chainsaws and those who use them

    Since retiring and downsizing to a smaller house and property, I have given my Stihl MS two fifty to my best friend and I bought an EGO with a sixteen inch bar battery powered saw. Works great for my needs now and don’t have to deal with gas. I can throw it in the back of my side by side and...

    Reloading can be dangerous and scary if you don't do it right

    Great post @SaintPanzer! I have been an avid reloader for 45+ years and sometimes things happen that cannot be easily explained. A .3 grain increase in. 17 REM is a lot greater than in a larger caliber. Sharing your experience may not yield an answer as to what happened but it is important that...

    Cameras bring them or stick with phone

    As both an avid hunter and photographer, I have tried twice now to take my big camera with me to Africa. I will say it is very difficult to hunt and photograph at the same time. I believe you either need to focus on hunting or photography but not both at the same time. Ideally, ten days of...

    Best All Around Caliber for Plains Game

    If I were buying a rifle today for PG and North American big game, a 300 Win Mag would probably be my choice. However, I have been shooting a 7RUM for years and because I have so many components for it I cannot see myself changing at this point in my life. I am also an exclusive Barnes user in...

    Fountain pen appreciation

    I have a couple of Montblanc rollerball pens that I used to use quite often but now they just sit in their box. I love fountain pens but I press too hard when writing so I had a hard time with them. I did do some calligraphy years ago and had to learn not to press too hard. As a daily pen it...

    What do you do for a living?

    I just retired this past September. Spent my entire career in the transportation and transportation technology industry. Save as much as you can but have fun along the way as well. Life goes quick.

    .270win and lead free ammunition

    I have used nothing but Barnes bullets in my big game calibers for years. I run them a little on the hot side and get not only great accuracy but excellent results. As was said previously regarding Barnes, use a 30% lighter bullet than what you would in a lead core bullet. If using a 130 gr lead...

    Does the price of ammo impact your choice of a rifle caliber

    As an avid reloader since the late [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]]’s, factory ammunition prices have no effect on what calibers I shoot. I am at a point where I have all the rifles I really want or...

    LVPO question for a DG rifle

    I have a basic Leupold 3x9 on my 375 H&H. No need to complicate things.
