    Solid before soft point

    I suppose it would matter if you intend to hit bone or not. And old school methods often prove time and again they still work. Just saying.

    Solid before soft point

    I’m from the US and the first bullets I’ve ever reloaded-and still do - were and are Woodleigh(Australia). I now load others as well like Accubond and Partitions, Barnes TTSX and others. I intend to load Trophy bonded bear claw , Swift AFrame and Scirroco ,Sierra and others. I like...

    Solid before soft point

    My vote for dangerous game , first shot, and going through bone: solids like Swift AFrame or Woodleigh. Nosler partition is another tough bullet with easier expansion capabilities than the aforementioned. Swift Scirocco and Barnes TTSX will work good on non dangerous game. Longer ranges on...

    Shooters under attack in Australia

    Agreed, but one thing you need to understand is that it is an evil intentional game plan to subdue the citizenry. By letting criminals out and creating havoc they will then say we have to take your opposing voices,firearms, etc., to regain order. These are evil and malicious minds that have...

    Any Parkwest Arms feedback?

    I was looking into one when they were Dakota . I got wary when it went it turned to Park West. Sometimes changes like that are due to a negative aspect of their operation. Sometimes not. More Due diligence would be required of me to buy one. I learned that on Wall street. You got to dig deeper...

    Shooters under attack in Australia

    All countries under the realm of the Crown will inevitably have their firearms taken away. In the states we kicked the Crown and their bullshit repressing manner out 250 years ago. Now you add in opportunistic and or angry liberals (and their lies n fantasies) and you all are pretty much...

    Cartridges you just hate

    Nor the 6.5 Swede. They have negligible differences. Someone trying to get rich and the folks that don’t know better buy into it. Some even bash others that don’t go along. That’s why you see naysayers talking trash. That may be part of what you find distasteful about it. It’s also a sign of how...

    Cartridges you just hate

    Me too. You’re practical minded and realize you don’t need more than what’s already available. There’s nothing new under the sun. And all these others are brought to market out of boredom , marketing schemes and even man’s desire to make things better. But not really necessary to get the job done.

    Shooters under attack in Australia

    I don’t even bother trying with those type of minds. They are too consumed with trying to twist everything into their narrative . It’ll be better when they are just erased from this planet, because that is what they are trying to do to others and their traditions and lifestyles.

    Cartridges you just hate

    Yes hate seems to be a strong word. The only time I can remember using that word is when someone did unwarranted,unjust,or unfair things to me or something that directly affects me, just because they elect to be ugly acting minds. Otherwise it seems to be a childish emotion,in particular when...

    NYC is rat race and a zoo for sure. But I was born, grew up and worked in NYC for most of my life; a condition that is usually necessary to have an appreciation for it. I finally left, haven’t been there in seven years and don’t miss it nor regret it. Sold my home there and kept my Pennsylvania...

    I used to fish for salmon and trout at the mouth of the salmon river on Lake Ontario.I was in awe when we went upstream where giant salmon jump out of the water and fishermen stand there trying to catch one. They just glided in the air as if they were in slow motion. Quite extraordinary. The...

    Beautiful state. Quite frankly I’ve yet to be anywhere in the state that isn’t beautiful; and I’ve been in every part of it. Were it not for the anti gunners , wannabe socialists and other restrictions, it would be a paradise.

    Kelly has become a shrill for the Democrat party. Any person willing to sell out the 2nd amendment -and other things-on party lines has lost some credibility . He’s turned himself into a clown at best.

    I’d have to agree. Keep in mind that at his worst he is better than any existing politician. He can be multifaceted and serve the country as well as himself. It’s good to see someone shake it up. Will he enrich himself? Of course he will. But he may ignite some things that are long overdue...

    What cartridge would you choose for hunting Bull Moose in Canada?

    Aside from the cartridge , consider how you will get the harvest out !!! I saw a video of 4 Brit hunters overlooking the giant moose one of them killed in Canada. They were all standing there stymied as to how they were going to get it out . No joke- very stymied and totally dismayed ! I found...

    What did you get yourself for Christmas?

    One gets to see some real beautiful firearms on this forum. I wish I didn’t have other financial priorities. I always got to work extra hard just to get basic deluxe rifles. It’s good to see some folks having fine firearms. Happy and safe shooting.

    Don’t have any experience with Weatherby. Although the wood stocks look beautiful. I may be wrong but the 9 lug design is for their proprietary cartridges. All over bore. I not a big fan of over bore cartridges. I suppose for a Weatherby one can make an exception. I’ve also read they aren’t all...

    Thoughts on "entry level" .375 H&H

    Yeah I should have never screwed around with it. There was a time I would have scopes installed by others. Once I did my own I taught myself to field strip my AR and all hand guns and such. It emboldened me to start taking apart bolts for periodic deep cleans, but primarily more accurate...

    Thoughts on "entry level" .375 H&H

    As for Winchester model 70. They are letting way too much crap out of the factory these days to take a chance. The quasi controlled/ push feed with claw extractor was a step in the right direction. But fit and finish and machining marks on barrels, etc. just aren’t worth the chance. I looked at...

    Thoughts on "entry level" .375 H&H

    For entry level the Ruger .375 guide rifle might be a good choice. Iron sights, muzzle brake and laminate stock look really sweet too. I love that look. Good luck in your decision.

    Thoughts on "entry level" .375 H&H

    My browning AB2 (essentially the same rifle), has been a bit dissatisfying. Taking apart the bolt is bad. Putting it back together can get to be a small task. I think I chewed up the firing pin washer reassembling it. Midwest gunworks may not have the replacement for my caliber. I’ll have to get...
