    Correctly head stamped 8x65R brass

    In the off chance that someone other than me needs correctly head stamped 8x65r brass, I believe I’ve found a European exporter. It’s not cheap and the minimum order is about $300, but it seems to be available. I’ve not yet bought from this supplier, but they appear reputable. YMMV, of course...

    Nitro for Black: which available powders?

    I know 4198 and 5744 are the most tested and commonly recommended, but both seem to be unobtanium these days. What’s the best way to look for safe alternatives, and what else have you found to work? This would be for full sized BPE cartridges, the .450 in my specific case.

    Resize 450/400 3 1/4 to 450 3 1/4?

    USFWS Form 3-177 help

    Can anyone point me to a tutorial on filling out this thing? I’ve read the official instructions, and they are less than illuminating. I’d like to bring a whitetail trophy back from Mexico in my personal baggage, and I’ve been told by my outfitter that the completed form is a necessity.

    Trophy Coues Pix?

    I’m heading to Mexico with a bunch of friends for a trophy Coues hunt in January, but I just realized they I don’t really know what a trophy Coues looks like in the real world. Any pictures showing quality deer would be welcome so I know what I’m seeing when I see it.

    Ruger M77 Guide vs Alaskan

    Hi everyone, I’m trying to decide between the Guide Gun and the Alaskan, and none of the local stores stock both so I can handle them in person. Which one do you prefer, and why? Inquiring minds want to know

    American Airlines ammo policy?

    Does anyone know whether it’s okay to include ammo in a gun case or whether it needs to be in a separate case? Their policy document says ammo in luggage is okay, but is otherwise vague. https://www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/baggage/firearms-and-ammunition.jsp

    Eurooptic dumps Sitka Gear?

    Any idea why? They claim it’s due to irreconcilable differences in core values, which doesn’t sound good.

    No love for the .500A2?

    The threads waxing lyrical on the virtues of the 500 Jeffery and the .505 Gibbs couldn’t help but remind me of how much more convenient my A2 is to own and shoot. .460 and .416 Weatherby brass is easily available, and any one of half a dozen powders produce perfectly satisfactory results...
