    Point of Impact shift off of sticks

    Buffalo Hunt Recommendations

    I had myself convinced that I would stick to plains game going forward. However, I now have a 458 Lott on the way, and I may as well put it to good use. I'm looking for recommendations from those that have done recent buffalo hunts. (My only experience is a cow hunt in South Africa) I'm open...

    Swift A Frame Accuracy

    I worked up some 220 grain A Frame loads for my 8mm Magnum to use on my upcoming plains game trip. I wanted a bullet that would hold together better than the partitions did at high velocity.
