Hello Everyone, I purchased a new Browning 6.8 western in June as soon as they were released. I bought several boxes of Ammo for it when I bought the rifle. I have it sighted in and ready to go on my hunt to SA in September but have not been able to find Ammo for several months. was wondering if anyone had any boxes of Browning 6.8 Western 175GR Sierra Game Tip they would be willing to sell me??
 
I love the excitement of the new cartridge. It hurts to read, but there appears to be caches of this ammunition in different places. Being shorter than the .270 WSM I wonder what Winchester is thinking? My local bass pro had a gross of it after it first came in out, but in haven't seen anything since. It's a good time to have a 5.56 or 7.62 by me and oddly a .270. I am seeing steady ammunition for it.
Do you reload? I'd say that you should be first in line to buy some dies for this caliber. I would also be saving every case I shot to be reloaded as I wonder if it will last long in the face of the SIG .277 Fury.

Just FYI my LGS looks like they have 17 boxes of it. Let me know if you want their info

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
