    7x57 factory ammo

    You bet! I've had my 7x57 for a few years but never hunted with it. It's very likely going with me to Africa in a few months though.

    7x57 factory ammo

    Second the Nosler e-tip recommendation. The factory Accubond also shoots well in my old Winchester Model 70 in 7x57. Unfortunately, the Hornady .275 Rigby ammo was the worst I tried out of 5 or 6 factory loadings.

    Starry night’s, turning your binoculars to the African sky

    I always love the African sky! Where it's safe to do so I will wander away from the lights of the camp or lodge far enough to really take it in. These are from Namibia in 2021 with an iPhone 12 Pro Max. I am planning to take a full frame camera on my next trip.

    Any love for the federal terminal ascent?

    I've got some on Barnes LRX on hand to try - I will let you know. Precision Hunter is also the best round so far for my 6.5CM. I usually get better groups with those than anything I've hand loaded for it.

    Any love for the federal terminal ascent?

    I'm a big fan of the TSX and TTSX - I have also found them to shoot well in nearly everything. I have not tried them in my 6.5 though.

    Any love for the federal terminal ascent?

    I was very interested in this bullet when it came out and I've spoken to several people who report fantastic results. I've tried them in my .270 and .280AI (factory loads) and neither of my rifles liked them.

    Update from DSC annual meeting

    Piling on in agreement. People have a right to be skeptical at this point (of DSC - not doubting our fellow AH'ers). I will have to judge DSC from their actions from point as their reputation is tarnished, at least in my opinion.

    Bergara owners?

    I have a B14 Ridge in .300WM. It's sub MOA with multiple factory loads. I've beat around Namibia with it and used it on elk hunts in the US. I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere. FWIW, I have a Howa 300WM as well and prefer the Bergara.

    When is the load good enough for Dangerous Game

    I asked a similar question of my PH on a DG hunt and was told that MOA is more than adequate.

    165 or 180 grain bullet for 3006

    I am normally in the "heavy for caliber" camp but over the years I've had such good luck with 165's in my '06 it's hard for me to want to stray. I've had good luck with H4350 in lots of rifles, including 30-06.
