Kentucky ballistics posted an 8 bore video and come to find out it staring an 8bore of Cal Pappas.

First of all congratulations, it’s rewarding to load your own ammo isn’t it? Secondly as for the difference in accuracy between PPU and the Mega bullets. Try a 3rd brand of bullet, sometimes rifles simply do not like certain bullets.

Well that didn’t take long… The loan hold out juror has been doxed and some of his family who didn’t even know he was serving on the jury are being hounded. Described as a “Haitian Catholic man” which explains a lot. Am I the only one who sees a poetic justice in a black immigrant man...

I had the tang of my Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon II crack and a “hang nail” sliver of wood sticking up, we took the stock off and it was quite obvious that the part that cracked was taking all the recoil with only 20% making contact and lop sided. Beretta’s response ….. “We warranty our wood...

I was in Austin today actually and went by McBride’s to see if it was open under new management…… Nope, closed for what looks to be a complete remodel; which to be honest the building was incredibly dated and needed a new layout. Can’t wait to see the new store.

@PaulB My apologies I asked a question to the wrong person out of confusion. In you’re collecting of these fine guns, have you ever come across inventories or lists of weapons kept by the colonial aristocracy or large land holders? I’m curious as to what those who could afford anything they...

I’ve flown LAX-SYD and DFW-Melbourne in coach so I’m no stranger to long flights; however the DFW-Doha - JNB via QA coach in 2024 was the longest and least enjoyable travel experience of my life. It’s took me 3.5 hours to get checked in at DFW with my rifles because they changed the form the...

can’t figure out how to post video but I’ve seen it and yeah…

.470ne 78gr IMR3031, foam wad, 500gr Woodleigh & Win LR Mag primer, is my regulation load as developed by Ken Owen. 2050fps from my 25” barrels. I also use 3031 for .30-30 with 170gr flat nose and now 5.56 with 75gr semi spritzer bullets for pigs, but with outstanding results.

I used to visit Victoria every year during the summer and loved it, felt more like a European city and I could stock up on good cough syrup and M.E.C. gear. Funny, when we were in Winnipeg it seemed like SouthChicago.

Would it be fair to say that Quebec is to Canada what California is to USA?

I’m a sucker for the cocking piece sights I’d be perfectly happy with the .275 & .416; either today or living back in colonial Africa. @Jack Stevens In your collecting have you ever come across inventories or ledger books showing the collections or known hunters in colonial Africa? Just for...

Well said, on that day I was a senior in high school and having met my graduation credits I was assigned to the attendance office where I was tasked with picking up the attendance slips from classrooms. I walked into the office and the TV was on CNN showing the first tower had been struck with...

The Brits are waking up and taking action. Hundreds of men dressed in all black blocked the port of Dover from accepting 3rd world rejects..... Rather brilliantly they are using live streams to announce and rally the protests so that social media posts cannot be weaponized against them...

Glad it worked out and looks amazing, he does stellar work and is easy to deal with. Nearly 10 years ago I sent him a stainless Ruger M77MKII .300win that I was making into my "travel rifle" Cut & recess crown barrel Spiral Flute barrel Black cerakote It's now my primary hunting rifle

Rarely?..... there are people on this forum where nearly every post is Trump hatred and often(not always) about things that are more imagined than real. There has to be balance and I ask you this, is it that so many people idolize Trump or is it the case where certain people have such blind...

I wish you luck, now to be honest I’m kinda disappointed that you didn’t disclose what rifle and load your taking….

Well said, and when I can pull a 50yo Leupold off a well hunted Super Grade pre64 .300H&H and send it to Leupold for inspection before shipping it to Australia and that scope comes back with a clean bill of health but Leupold went ahead and replaced the worn internals with new old stock and...

Buy that rifle, clean it up and shoot a group with it. If it groups anywhere near an inch, I'd be willing to bet you can damn near double your money by simply walking around a gunshow with the group, caliber and price taped to the stock.

If the political establishment of the EU were actually bringing in the mass migration for ulterior motives...... What would they be doing differently than they are currently? Examples..... I recently read a report where the British home office reported that of the 300,000+ job vacancies that...

It's not "lack of prospects" it's a complete FAILURE of the other parties to even understand what Americans are concerned with, and I think this same issue has just been put on full display in Germany... Seriously, when the openly lesbian leader of the AFD who's lesbian partner was born in Sri...

@WAB I looked over a few things and I think I know what Trump is upto with the Falkland Islands. Look at it through the perspective of a real estate developer like Trump is at heart, I think he sees growth potential in the "market" of Argentina and by market I believe he's wanting to build up...

I voted .300win, incredibly versatile as we’ve had members post pictures of everything from European Roe deer to Australian water buffalo with it. Pairing a scoped .300Win with a double square bridge .416Rigby and/or a Shikari would have you well armed the world over.

@Rafiki I am very much considering putting that same optic on my .404J being built on a BRNO 602 and was curious about being able to use the firedot as you describe. As for the question at hand, I love the 1moa RMR on my .470ne and it’s been through 200+ rounds now and still dead on. On my...

Factory seconds from Midway; these are the Interlock SBR seconds, otherwise not released to public except in loaded ammo.

English 5004 gets my vote

I haven’t tried them, but I’m glad they acknowledged the issue and keep us posted on how they perform. Nosler had the same issue with the ballistic tip when it came out and I remember many years ago they redesigned the jacket taper and thickness.

Honestly you’re guess is as good as mine; I haven’t really dug into it though as I recently became aware of… Germany’s AfD “far right” party is surging in the polls with massive voter turnout reported in Saxony-Anhalt and might be the first far right party to lead a German State since 1945...

75gr semi spitzer with IMR3031 powder, CCI #41 primer(NATO/milspec) and Lake City brass. Excellent in both 10” suppressed 1:8 barrel as well as 16” 1:9 Finally got some live target testing and results were better than expected; I’m not used to a 5.56 hitting with this much authority. Entrance...

Glad to see you making good use of what you have while waiting for the new one; may not be what you wanted but I imagine it’s satisfying nonetheless.

Well said, the cheapest I’ve seen Jamison .470 new brass on gunbroker is higher than what you paid for the loaded ammo.

Depends, in Texas there really is no winter prep until just before a blizzard is projected to dump 3” of snow; then the parking lot of every liquor store will be full and firewood will reach insane prices in urban areas. In Southern Oklahoma my elderly relatives just wait for it to freeze...

That’s why you look for those old vibrating hockey board games at yard sales…..

If you don’t want that Jamison brass I’ll buy it once fired from you, it’s what my .470 is regulated with and it’s good quality and no longer produced.

I’d be willing to bet they stabilize in a 16” 1:9 barrel, I’m currently shooting 75hr Hornady SBR rounds with great affect and would like to try these on pigs.

Not a concern for me as stated above quick reloads back in the day took preference over heavy metal concerns. The only case of high lead levels I’ve ever know was a couple that did extensive competition handgun shooting and would sort brass on their kitchen table after tumbling. They had an...

Agreed, I just finished load development for .300win with 200gr LRX-BT for my travel load, went with the LRX for the faster opening. I also loaded 150rnds of .300win Hornady BTSP Interlocks as they are my deer culling, pig hunting and practice round( I also use the 140gr Interlock in .270win...

M.E.C. Mountain Equipment Co-op Think of it like REI but generally without the China crap quality; $5 makes you a member of the Co-op for life. https://www.mec.ca/en/stores/calgary Also stop by a pharmacy and buy a bottle of the cough syrup that actually works, you have to ask for it at the...

This! We’ve had several threads and has to be hundreds of posts on the matter, but @SCmackey summed it usually beautifully. “Ammo must be stored in factory packaging OR packaging specifically designed for storing ammunition; loose ammo will not be permitted” - I believe is the verbiage. 11lbs...

My disdain for the SGK goes back 20+ years when I started loading my own ammo with 130gr SGK in .270Win. I shot my first and second deer SGKs’ and I haven’t loaded another single Sierra ever since. FYI - the second deer I shot at 150yds and it ran off and died because it fell in a creek and...

Nice, does this ammo require 1:8 twist barrel?

150rnds of .300win

I’ve got the 350gr RNSN HD going 2,275fps out of my 23” barrel; I could go faster but the accuracy is great and hits exact same POI as the 350gr FMJ. My buddy has the 350gr RNSN HD and North Fork FPS hitting same POI in his Winchester M70 stainless.

Manufactured scarcity?

I could tell you horror stories of what’s gone into burn pits while land clearing for construction sites; hell one contract we bid a single line item on the bid was 4,000ac of tree clearing for the building of a reservoir.

I think they were done as a precursor to cross bolts; more material left behind, more strength in that area.

Love Selous plates, when done well their a thing of beauty.

@BTP-KennethWRoyce If you’re referring to the girl, her name is Hannah and she graduated from Alabama a couple years ago and now works in marketing for the Dallas Cowboys. If you’re not, then go eat a bag of dicks.

I can go either way, when we cull heavy and I have help we’ll gut 6 and let them hang overnight so I can make the back strap as bone in racks that I use to demonstrate how you can eat deer prepared in ways other than fried. If we’re just wanting camp meat there is no reason to gut.

The most important part of recoil management is one that I haven't seen a single member post about..... Mental preparation If you go into a fight knowing you are going to get your ass handed to you, then you have brought about your own destiny. I see it all the time with deer "hunters" and...
