    Hammer Bullets

    My son and I used Hammers this year on cape buffalo- performance was fantastic. He used the tipped version in his 375 ruger at 2650, and I used the 270 Hunter in my H&H at 2800 fps! I had complete broadside penetration and he had about 30” through left shoulder, boiler room and lodged in last...

    Made the decision- building a dangerous game lever gun

    It will be a long tang original. Not a collector grade, just good sound long tang which is about to get even better. The Browning’s short tang lacks the handling characteristics of the original pre war guns.

    Best 375 lion bullet

    Interesting in peoples experiences with the “best” lion bullet for the 375 H&H? Presume it would be the 300 grain partition or the 300 grain North Fork Percussion tip. What are peoples experiences?

    Swarovski EL v. NL

    The ergonomics are much better, the field of view of the 12x is practically the same as the 8.5 el and the glass is absolutely amazing. I have both and the 12x PUR have to be held and used to truly appreciate

    My Take on Dangerous Game Scopes

    Another issue to keep in mind is ocular size and bolt manipulation. I recently ordered a Scmmidt 1-8, and while the optics were amazing, the ocular was too large to quickly run the model 70 bolt. I expect this to be the case with new Kahles and Swarovski as well. I have used a k16 that is...

    Cotton seed as deer feed/attractant?

    The literature I have read is no problem with feeding year round if your pasture is in decent shape. If the deer have to live off it then you have problem, more than just feed probably

    Cotton seed as deer feed/attractant?

    My neighbor and his son make that feed. Yes it does work, bears love it, elk and deer will improve on it. Takes a while for them to get on it. Mix it with corn to help get them going.
