    6.5 PRC load

    What powder do you have? 130 Swift /RL26 is my go to. Speed and accuracy. 140 Speer Gold Dot over RL26 was my most accurate. 142 ABLR was good with RL26, too. Plus 124 Hammer, 120TTSX/H1000,,,all work in 2 different rifles. Best powders have been RL26, N570, H1000, H4831sc

    404 Jeffrey Brass

    While I have seen brass as low as $4, most times (when you can find it) they are asking $7-8 each. Factory Hornady ammo can be has for ~$7.50 ea. The real plus - the bonded is good ammo.

    Texas Nilgai - Rifle choices

    Great excuse to use the 375. Not a hunt where your PH is going to back you up. Still, use a quality bullet. If he turns to run you might want a lot of penetration. Take a lot of ice chests. Best of luck!

    Which 450 NE ammo for buffalo...factory loaded Hornady DGX (non-bonded) or handload w/ Woodleigh Weldcore RN SN?

    If you have the speeds you need from those Woodleighs, quit fretting, go hunting. The DGX bonded shoot exactly the same poi as the non-bonded for me. Use the non-bonded for practice only. Have a great trip!

    375 H&H - DGX/DGS or TSX?

    DGX bonded is a good bullet. As is TSX & Swift. Buffalo won't care which one. North Forks if you can roll your own.

    Blaser R8 Mag Insert Question

    It is based on the 375, same base and shoulder.

    Opinions on the real big boys? 500J, 505 Gibbs, .500 NE, 577NE, 600NE, 700NE etc.

    The 500J @ 12lbs proves to be 'within reasonable recoil limits' shooting 570gr bullets. Note that it is never fired off the bench, only standing off sticks. Accuracy is just fine with a RMR sight.

    500 Jeffrey

    Awesome! 570 soft/solid by NorthFork makes sense to me.
