A good YouTube video from Little crow Gunworks on the 7mm's its the 7mm showdown episode #19 I think gives the best info.

Barnes TSX factory ammo, as long they shoot well. If loading there are other options. My pick is a North Fork SS and solids.

By the way when in 2026 are you going the the Eastern Cape, who with and what are you after? Headed there myself in April of 2026.

175 LRx, 190 LRX, 200 LRX 175 Terminal Ascent , 200 Terminal Ascent Find what your rifle likes and go. I do tend to pick the heaviest bullet the rifle likes for African game as the shots are not typically far and the animals are tough. My 300 Weatherby and. 200 terminal Ascent are the shit!

Another thing to mention is the OPs examples it more about the bullet choice than the specific cartridge. Obviously many cartridges will work but not all bullets will serve him well. Hornady only makes one good hunting bullet for large game and that's the CX. The DGX bonded is OK but there are...

I agree that antiquated was maybe not the best phrase. But I do think with todays scopes and ballistics apps and a general better knowledge of ballistics that one is better suited if looking to buy a rifle and scope that getting a scope with adjustable turrets on a rifle in the 300 wm range is...

If sold on the Hornady ammo I would stay clear of the ELD-X. They don't stay together when encountering large bones in the shoulders. This is where you shoot African animals as their vitals are further forward than American game. If it must be Hornady shoot the CX mono bullets that are tough...

Lots of good scopes to choose from these days as well as good guns. I'm a Nightforce guy myself as they are tough as hell. Zeiss, high end Leupold or Swarovski. Meopta is also good and more affordable. Most quality brands will handle a 300 wm recoil. Many may recommend Vortex but I would stay...

Any movement on this project? Also is it for the Safari model 70 with the extra recoil lug on the forward part of the barrel

Unless you have other plans later for the 338 I would stick with a 30 cal. Anything from the .308 Win, 30-06 , 300 wm, 300 PRC, or my favorite 300 Wby Mag. The logical is the 300 WM as ammo is easily available. You can do it all with a 7mm also. The 338 isn't large enough for dangerous game...

I wish Talley or another manufacturer would make an RMR mount for the Talley bases that are their proprietary base style. There is an option for picatiny mount and Talley makes QD rings for the Pic rail. However, the Talley pick rail QD ring levers separate from the rings when you loosen them...

make sure if its a flat head that you use a hollow ground that just fits the slot. push down as advised and don't go crazy if it doesn't turn STOP. you may need something like a slight penetrating oil to give it some movement...not a lot as it will soak into the wood a bit. There are other...

Are they screws or bolt heads. being from 70's likely just flat heads. Curious because they look removed already.....are they inside those countersunk holes?

As I grow older I do tend to learn from others experiences along with my own now. I tend to use bullets proven by many. Those include the Barnes monos in some rifles and the North Fork SS for big stuff. I do have a good supply of the Federal Terminal Ascent bullets also and hope to use them on...

Interested if the sale doesn't work out.
