    Looking for advice on getting started reloading

    I went in deep on reloading and have lots of equipment from every manufacturer. If I was to start completely over, I would buy the deluxe kit from Redding or RCBS. I would then add a digital scale, Redding dies, a trimmer, case prep machine, brass tumbler, etc. There are lots of other little...

    I’ll take all your lashings…. Ruger no 1 RSI modifications

    I love the look of a #1, but I don’t like the RSI much, so…I think it looks better. Are those scope rings stainless?

    300 Holland & Holland (pre war)

    Good problem to have! The pre war H&H 300 and a pre war 416 Rigby are my two dream rifles. Yours is very nice. That old leather box tops it off.

    Savage 110 .458 Win mag

    Would anyone here take a Savage 110 in 458 Win mag on a dangerous game hunt? I’m a Mauser style action type of guy and I passed on it. It was $650 and I am wondering if I’ll regret it tonight laying in bed. It was a plastic stock so I would have had to upgrade that. I would have bought it if...

    What cost in African Safaris is sustainable?

    Wow, airfare has gone up more than expected in the past six months. Just for my wife to come along and sit in the camp adds $2500-3500 just in airfare, and I'm not sure she would be interested in just sitting there. For the wife and I, the scenic (48 hour) Doha route is $4200ish plus the flight...

    Your Powder Selection Criteria?

    As a new reloader, H4895 is great for rifle. H110, well…carpe diem right? You should add HP-38 and you’ll be starting off great!

    Ethics Test by the Hunting Gods

    I feed the deer year around on my property because I like to see them, and they get a pass. Somewhat like guests. I do hunt on the next property over, but again, if they cross the fence to my place, they have asylum.

    Which is a more "classic" African cartridge, the 303 British or the 7x57 Mauser/275 Rigby?

    Does RSA have a minimum caliber for PG ? These .223 & 6mm test are infuriating

    Burden to inform?

    If I was booked on a hunt with them I would want to know. While it’s fresh on everyone’s minds is a time to share knowledge and experience, regardless of fault, if there was any. Also, complacency is in many aspects of life, oftentimes a refresher of the task at hand is well being for everyone...
