    Help Please...9.3x62 Makes No Sense

    QuickLoad is a low cost ballistics program that helps develop handloads. It models how variables affect chamber pressure, muzzle velocity, and other performance metrics using your rifle’s specifications and component data. QuickLoad also suggests promising powder-and-bullet combinations tailored...

    Help Please...9.3x62 Makes No Sense

    I would verify your max H2O case capacity as different brands are slightly different. It might be worth restarting Quickload to reset to default settings for 9.3X62 to be sure you didn't change any variables that will impact the results. As other have suggested I would start low.

    Full Length Resizing Torque and Inline Fabrication Mounts

    For reloading everything up to and including 470 NE cartridges, I use an Area 419 Zero press mounted on an Ultramount (tall junior-7 1/2" tall) with quick change plates. It is a very solid setup with no torque or flexing issues. I would highly recommend Inline Fabrications products.

    If this is what you are looking for, I have one open box with all 50 bullets. Based on the price tag I think it has been sitting around long enough. If it is what you are looking for send me a DM with your contact information and I will send it to you. Brent

    How do the 3 more common Marlin 1895, Smith and Wesson 1854 and Henry 45-70 compare?

    Prefer the Marlin's as well. First choice would be a JM stamped followed by the new Ruger made. You can find good deals on the Remington made Marlins but will need to send it in for a fair amount of work to shoot and feel anything like my first and second choices.

    Big bore Shooting range

    As @WAB stated, Shootingtargets7.com is a great source of information and has some great deals on steel targets, rubber hangers, and stable stands. If you get on their email list they often run specials on targets. I have shot at hundreds of DG rounds at AR500 steel plates, and if you stick to...

    Elk Rifle

    I don't think my post had anything to do with "good" or "bad" elk? The point of my post was to say that without spending large sums of money to hunt elk every year, most will only get a couple chances in their lifetime to have a coveted elk tag with the potential to shot a trophy elk, and when...

    Let's see some Zebra pics

    I've shot both Burchell and Mountain Zebras, and my answer is I like all of them. Each hide is unique, and that's what makes them interesting. Looking through the herds to find the one you like best is the fun part of hunting zebras. In contrast to the original post, one of the darker zebras I...

    375 Swift A-Frames in 300 gr available in next few days (2/15/25)

    While attending the Western Hunting Expo in Salt Lake City, I stopped by the Swift booth and spoke with their representative. He mentioned that once they returned to their shop, they planned to add about 100 boxes of 300-grain .375 A-Frame bullets to their website. He estimated they would be...

    Black Rhino

    We saw all 5 in the same trip to Timbavati on the border with Kruger National Park. There happened to be a leopard in a tree outside of camp when we drove in the first day. That is the only leopard I have seen outside of hunting them. The other area we saw all 5 including a lot of black rhino...

    Elk Rifle

    With any luck you will be in the elk for a chance at a close shot, but a 300 WM with a 180 grain bullet will be plenty out past 500 yards. At 8-9 pounds loaded with a scope it will be a little jumpy so get used to it, shoot it, and be ready when the time comes. I have two rifles I use for most...

    Lipsey's Ruger 77/22 22 Hornet African Released.

    I was just passing on the link and information. $1,429 was MSRP, if you can find one, I am seeing closer to $1150 on the shelf. Looks like a fun little gun not just the standard everyday 22 Hornet bolt action rifle. I'm not ready to go out and search for one, but if I was at my local store and...

    Elk Rifle

    I agree with @Altitude sickness Altitude, there are so many variables when hunting elk. The biggest variables being location, time of year, and what your goal is for the hunt. To add to his thoughts. Elk hunting in Utah spans from mid-August through December, with minimal breaks between...

    458 Lott Suppressor

    I've used suppressors on every plains game hunt I have participated in with calibers up to 375 H&H. The PH's all encouraged it and were certainly happy we had them along. On my dangerous game hunts the same PH's seemed to prefer no suppressors. Most of us used double rifles and it wasn't an...

    458 Lott Suppressor

    I also use the hybrid 46m on several larger caliber rifles and typically leave it in the full configuration. If you wanted to keep it shorter and lighter, the short configuration would be enough to take the edge off of the muzzle blast. I would stick to direct thread options for the mount as...

    Parkwest SD 76 Dark Continent Take Down 458 Lott

    It is an extremely simple way they connect to each other. It uses a single bolt to tighten what amounts to around a 2-3 inch steel sleeve around the barrel. I don’t see how it would loosen over time.

    Parkwest SD 76 Dark Continent Take Down 458 Lott

    Sold mine not long ago on this site. They were great, easy to change the barrels in the field. Use quick detach rings from Tally to mount the scopes and it is easy to use a 1-6 on the Lott and 3-18 on the WM. They are not cheap, but a pleasure to own. Definitely stick with common calibers and...

    Elk Rifle

    Having spent considerable time hunting elk in the western U.S., I've found that, much like hunting in Africa, there are many cartridges that can get the job done. From my experience, it's important to be ready for shots up to at least 500 yards. I prefer sticking with 30-caliber cartridges such...

    Strikeman and Mantis Laser training systems

    I have used the mantis with both a pistol and the AR-15. The pistol system I have is the Mantis X10 and it provides great feedback to correct/improve your shooting, the drawback is you have to manually reset the slide each shot, so to put a string of shots together is not easy. The Blackbird...

    Heavy recoiling rifles and optic durability?

    It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what happened with your rifle based on the couple pictures you posted, and I’m not suggesting that this is the cause of your issue. However, I’ve seen a similar situation in person at a range. The shooter was using a large-caliber magnum, though not quite as...

    Heavy recoiling rifles and optic durability?

    Pictures would be helpful. While it is not quite the 460 Wby, my 416 Weatherby Mark V came with a Buehler 1-piece base with split rings and they have held up very well over time. The original owner mounted the scope and shot it extensively in Africa in the 90's. I have taken it to Africa twice...

    I currently have a couple Dakota's and have owned several others. Most were earlier production Dakota's, all had very good craftsmanship, and I have not experienced any issues with function. I don't have any experience with the new Parkwest guns, but imagine they would be similar quality. If...

    Best magnum rifle reloading press? RCBS Ammomaster2 vs Forster Coax?

    As someone who used a happily and successfully used a Rocker Chucker for almost 20 years, there is a large and noticeable upgrade going to the Area 419 Zero press. It has sped up my reloading and increased the overall quality of my reloads.
