Every year in Yellowstone

Thanks most of you. I'm sick of the manbun responses, & wonder how many of those manbun responders actually have shot one? Running one ctg down to prove yours is better is a pretty childish approach. If I offend someone, oh well!

You mean ping pong!:sick:

She's one of the judges for women's boxing!

I agree, be kind of a shame to quit now! ;)

I am curious, I wonder just how many of the 6.5 Creedmoore fans bought it because a 6.5X55 wasn't readily available and the Creedmoore was? I will be first to raise my hand, I wanted a 6.5X55, and none were available and if you found one it was out of my price range. PLEASE let's not get into...

If it weren't true it'd be funny!:mad:

Cartons of 550 .22LR for $9.99

And let's not forget Elanore took a bunch of game with the 7X57 ;) She was a pretty accomplished hunter in her own right.

I'm not going to miss this opportunity to keep my mouth shut! :mad:

I’m not a camo guy , but it’s your gun, make it suit you! ;)

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: (y)

That's EXACTLY how it works.:(

Me too!;)

You better buy it by the Pallet! :ROFLMAO:

Call it what you want .275 Rigby, or 7X57, 7MM Mauser, it's a wonderful cartridge & the #1 Ruger is a very classy rifle! Put them together and you have one of the finest hunting rifles anywhere!

I believe you’re set, go have fun! We‘d all probably like to hear abou your trip when you return!

Having never been to Africa, nor owning a double rifle, but having considerable experience shooting a nice double shotgun that fits me very well, I’d pick the Webley .450 BP Express! Shooting a gun that really fits you is an experience everyone should experience at least once. There is nothing...

Not trying to be a smart allek, but free .375 bullets are great. If they are unmarked, I’d weigh each one (possibly) Mike them, & if they’re all .375s I’d enjoy shooting them!

I have experience with the original Barns X bullet in the .375 H&H both the 270gr & the 300gr. Accuracy was good, penetration fantastic, load data the same as Hornaday 270 & 300gr bullets. I tested them in rolled up rubber matting, they penetrated 9” in rolled up rubber, & shed all their petals...

I am aware of bullet profile for lever actions. If it means anything, Hornaday in the 11th edition page 769, lists both a flat nose & the old round nose in the .45-70 1895 Marlin data. I think Hornaday would have researched their data? still has anyone used this bullet on game, & what were the...

That is beyond beautiful! congratulations!

Anyone have experience on game using this bullet? I had heard it was developed for a lighter bullet in the .458 Win Mag. If this is true, it might be a good, tough, bullet that really penetrates in the .45-70. Most of our Elk country is also grizzly country, so using a bullet for the most...

Pretty much!

A .375?

This is believable!

Hope it was a very happy anniversary Bob!

Sorry, my mistake.

That won't cover my gas during Elk season!

Have a great time Bob & Gina!

Those loads should work.

The snowflakes just need to melt!

Actually saw this with a Bison in Yellowstone, wasn't their last I'm sure but it was memorable! Made the news!

Okay, if someone is taking my .375, he will darn well replace it & it'll cost him! He'll supply me with a nice double .450-400 3" and enough components to last me two years. ;)

Actually, the .375 doesn't tear up meat as some calibers do. It destroys very little meat especially if normal bullets are used like 270 & 300 grain bullets. Then there's the factor of using the rifle you'll use on really big game. A person once asked me why I was using a .375, I told him with...

I have also heard there is so little shoulder on the .375 Whelen that headspace can be a problem?

In a 4 year old thread, I will say I’ve shot several Blacktail deer with a .375, mostly with the old Hornaday 270gr RN over a fairly healthy charge of WW760. That load averaged just under 2700fps. I never recovered a bullet, & one was facing me at 70yds, impact was just below the chin on the...

Having just read the whole thread, Congratulations on a very nice rifle, and thanks for taking us on your adventure!

Today's youngsters! And they vote & reproduce!:censored:

And the name of that organized criminal group is::::: democrats! :mad:

Let me guess,,,,, Yellowstone Nat. Park, tourists ignoring/not believing the many signs telling wild animals are dangerous! :ROFLMAO:

Green Chile, great memories. Thank you for taking us on your hunt! It was very enjoyable.

Welcome, lots of 7X57 (.275 Rigby) lovers here!

Didn’t say I’d wait, I said worst case scenario. the attack could be so sudden & from such close quarters you didn’t have a warning.

Congratulations, thanks for taking us on your hunt. Those teeth are really worn.

Nope, nope, nope, a back country revolver will start .429 & 245gr as in 429421.;)

Thank you all for your input, I have learned how wonderful the 10mm is. Since we have gotten off the original question anyway, I'll throw in something else, if you are in a deadly confrontation where the bear makes contact, you can jam a revolver into your opponent and it will still fire. Most...

Not sure I remember 32? :ROFLMAO:

Might get slammed, but a mostly nude female with an off color joke.
