I absolutely agree that Canada has a lot of work to do. In reality, our history shows we are relatively new country, our Charter is only about 40 years old. We have spent the last 60 years not paying attention to what can make Canada a strong country. I think Trump has been a blessing in that he...

The dialogue is viewed by most as being the rantings in someone who doesn’t understand Canada at all. So there is anger, but also a lot of bemusement. Canadians are prone to humour to call out what they don’t like. Our response is probably a lot like the response in Europe. When an elephant...

Freeland is an ass and desperate. She represents that same dysfunctional group that decided to parade in pink for Trump’s speech. This was a group that held a disproportionate amount of political power that is (I hope) fading into the past. On another note, I had dinner with an old friend who...

Wow that looks like it was a lot of work! I was checking it out to see how my beloved 400 H&H would rate. Efficient , powerful and neglected! 81 gr of H4350 will get you 2350 fps with a 400 gr bullet in my rifle. I think max load would be 82gr of that particular powder

I tried to edit and instead repeated myself. I have developed a stutter apparently

I don’t know whether you are right, but I cannot see a strategy. I can’t see how the game itself has changed either. What is apparent is that the other players recognize that if the USA is pulling back they need to change how they governed themselves. And, until they are stronger they will...

I hope you are right, but I cannot see a strategy. I can’t see how the game itself has changed either. What is apparent is that the other players recognize that if the USA is pulling back they need to change how they governed themselves. And, until they are stronger they will complain about it...

The international situation reminds me of multiparty mediations where the mediator is clearly over their head. It is very challenging, but the process can be salvaged if the parties are capable. Trump’s attempt at foreign policy just flops around with nothing behind it but the weight of his...

Since these bullets are imported to Canada from Sweden they should not be affected by this trade war! I have bought some to load and compare to the Swifts I currently use. One thing that is good is the solid that is designed to shoot to the same point of aim. I am excited to try these CPS!

I never understood how a mineral deal helped Ukraine. What would stop Russia from rebuilding and then taking Ukraine with the promise to honour the mineral share agreement with the US? Effectively there would be a peace during Trump’s term but not a lasting one. I thought Trump’s goal was to...

Has the company started any cleanup operations? This is terrible. We had a big one here in the Yukon recently.

Both my 400 H&H and 308 Norma Mag are built on the Brno ZKK model. I did that for the same reason you mention. But the cost difference is not there, same for the difficulty getting brass etc. I hope to chance across a 6.5x55 or something smaller on a ZKK model to use for practice one day. Right...

My camp property is very wooded and I haven’t seen any up there.

These drills look like good fun too, thanks guys. I am going to see if I can find that buffalo target.

Hello all I am booked for my first Cape buffalo hunt. My rifle (400H&H) and load (Swift A-Frame) are ready to go. The range I use does allow standing shots, so I can practice from sticks. I dry fire a lot. But I also have a camp property that I could use to set up other practice drills. So, I...

That's how they hunt them. But it will destroy the trophy, they say

I stressed over that shot even though it was only about 30 yards. They wanted the neck to freeze it, otherwise in the water it would sink. There are not a lot of landmarks! The best advice was that the spine enters the middle of the back of the head. The first shot (that was recoverd) actually...

Ok, I owe a report. But, this was honestly a life changing trip, and I am still trying to figure out what I want to say. I will post better photos when I get them off of the camera. In summary, a 400 grain Swift A-Frame will not pass through the neck of a large male. They take that massive...

I did notice the failure to include the very popular 400 H&H. You are forgiven. I will note that this wonderful cartridge will send a 400gr A-frame at 2350 fps with 81 grains of H4350... very reasonable recoil.

It's fun to look at the tables. But you need to shoot them before you decide what they really feel like. The 505 Gibbs I shot was a lot of fun! Don't let the tables scare you off! Having said that, I am impressed by the data next to the 404 J. You can see why it was so popular.

I didn't see the speech, but this news report struck me as interesting. It describes a different Trump. https://www.cp24.com/mobile/news/trump-describes-assassination-attempt-with-personal-details-as-he-accepts-republican-nomination-1.6969832?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

I really like the Alaska Arms rings and used those for a long time. But, I have recently converted to EAW pivot mounts on my two best rifles, and I am a big fan of these. They really are a different beast.

I am working on the Mrs right now...any advice?

Having a dog to hunt with is one of those unfulfilled dreams I have. I am jealous of those of you who have such fine companions, and the knowledge to keep them happy. Well done.

Freud's essays are interesting to revisit. His theories on how we internalize and self-police our beliefs are spot on. The internet has made those exterior influences much more apparent. And, perhaps, dragging those voices out into the open allows anyone to be more critical if they want to...

That is nice to hear. They really have a good reputation. And, from I have read, they invest in the local community quite a bit.

The outfitter ships to Advanced Taxidery. He says they do incredible replicas.

How many reports like this has there been in the last year? It seems like an epidemic. Very sad, especially as it was so preventable.

Oh no pressure now lol

Hello friends. This is an excerpt from the response I got from Barnes: Shooting it in a .410 diameter barrel “can” raise pressures slightly. If you choose to use it, absolutely begin with starting powder charges and work up, all while watching for pressure signs.

Trip is booked and paid for. Rifle is dialed in with 400 gr Swift A-Frames. I head out August 1.

I was think that too. In a round-about way I heard that the CEB folks do not thinks it would be an issue with 0.001 over sized.

I have not. Another time I went I used a Tough Pak and the scope was on the rifle. The scope was fine and kept its zero (Alaska Arms rings, trijicon scope)

Good question. I went to South Africa in 2022. The customs person saw my scope in my carry-on. She inspected it and took it to an office. When she came back she warned me that it would have been an problem if it was a scope because it has to remain attached to the rifle. I can only guess they...

Hello all I received a reply from Jörgen Boström the CEO at North Fork. His advice is that the .411 bullet in a .410 barrel could damage the barrel. I accept that there is a potential liability to saying otherwise if something went wrong. But this is the advice. I will post when I hear from...

Those brass CEB type bullets would be the hardest. I will be interested to hear from them.

A number of chamberings have various bore sizes, either historically or by accident. Most recently I have noticed that the 400 H&H can have 0.410 or 0.411 I was told by Swift that their 0.410 bullet will obtund and shoot fine in the .411 bore. But, can a .411 diameter bullet be fired through a...

What a great project! I would love to see it when you have finished it. I have a 400 H&H with a Douglas .411 barrel. I just finished developing a load of 400 gn Swift A Frames with 81 gn H4350. They average 2344 fps and are very accurate, under an inch at 100 yards. The Swifts are .410 but I...

I believe shots are about 50m. I am working on a load for the 400 H&H of a 400gr Swift A-Frame. Time is short so there is a lot of work to be done. It's a fun kind of work though!

Hello, I am looking at a cancelation hunt for a hunt on the ice for these blubbbery beasts. I really like the reputation this outfitter has - they operate as a quality PH, managing the ecosystem, building relationships with the community and organizing unique trips to the artic. They appear to...

Good bye

No, thats not at all what I am writing. I have no idea how my words are being interpreted the way they are in this thread. I will try again 1. If the government is going to cull it sould make sure the results are studied. I never said they should study it. I said it has to be evaluated. 2...
