    Refining Bullet Selection for Croc Hunt

    The soft might gain you just a bit of insurance if you are off the mark to get back on it quickly. You won't have much time if it's off the mark and often they are in the water with one flip of the tail. Mine rocked onto its side with the first shot and when he came back level, I hit him...

    Refining Bullet Selection for Croc Hunt

    Of your 2 bullets listed, the TSX is the only choice. It just so happens to be one of the best bullets around as well. I used a 300 TSX on this one 2 seasons ago...neck shot with NO exit at 40 yards! They are really dense creatures. Also, don't even wait for the PH to say it...shoot again!

    Binos for Africa

    The SLC changed the optics game for hunters and many pros switched over to them. I don't think the EL has been the paradigm shift that the SLC was. If buying now, the used SLC gives tremendous value and the new EL is priced at the top end. I'm not saying the SLC is better than the EL but it...

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

    I knew it was over 100 but didn't have time to run the formula. At least it isn't 120+. It just seemed like the gun was 1/2 to 1 pound lighter than "normal".

    Curious to hear what the recoil is like with the 13.5# 577. I'm sure it will carry well.

    Best bolt action .22lr?

    Winchester 52, Anschutz, Kimber Super America...all 3 of those shoot better than you can hold with good ammo. The Coopers are also excellent.

    SHILOH called today, finally!

    Any of Mike Venturino's books or Paul Matthew's books on the subject are very helpful on BPCR shooting, cleaning, reloading, casting, etc. I refer to them often.

    Want To Sell .458 and .300 H&H Ruger Number 1s

    Good looking #1s. I hunted last year with a guy who has over 400 in his collection. That 300 H&H is classy and would cover a lot of hunting options. Someone here needs it.
