318 WR. It will kill anything.

I love the 10.75x68 because most hate it. Its been fun.

His finest hour was when he stood up to the hostile crowd beating down Sinead O’Connor at a major gig. He had everything to lose and stood in the pocket like the warrior he was.

I have .577 2 3/4 Reloading dies i would part with. Cal Papas said they will work fine for 3” with a 1/4 inch washer. I never tried it but it makes sense. Let me know if you are interested. Tom

I was suggesting a level of service well beyond that. There would be much involvement by a consultant related to the inspection and analysis of the individual rifle. Some of these are high end and can be expensive. I wouldn’t , as an uninformed buyer, go into a deal like this without a...

I would advise hiring Rookhawk as a consultant.

Someone wise on this site said it is widely accepted a rifle of over 40 cal shooting a quality bullet at 2150 FPS will kill anything on the planet. The 10.75x68 does exactly that.

Greener .577 BPE. 1897

You would invite credible professionals. No one can predict how they would perform in any given situation so the best training and preparation will hopefully give you a leg up. Each event gives an opportunity to learn something and refine techniques.

You dont get to pick my choices, I do. Cleared of what? What are you clearing the hunters of? Bad first shot? Cleared? I dont think so. They wouldn’t clear themselves either. They would debrief it and train more extensively for the next hunt. Cleared fouling up the reloads? Nope...

The analogy was correct. Yeager would have debriefed his being shot down extensively and had open discussions about it to add to the list of lessons learnt in fighter combat. In life or death endeavors this should be standard practice.
