If having ammo for the best .30 caliber cartridge ever devised is a problem, just send it my way! The original Weatherby boxes were very cool. I would love to get all of the animals. Fox - .224, .240 Whitetail Deer - .240, .257 Tiger - .257, .270, 7mm, .300, .375 Grizzly Bear - .257, .270...

It's probably been posted at least 100 times, but I think this may have been the funniest cartoon I ever saw published in a paper...

If there is a "high-end" local gun shop nearby, you might want to use them to do a consignment. I'm in Georgia. There would be 2 gun stores in the entire state that I would consider... 1. Chuck's Firearms in Atlanta 2. Kevin's Sporting Goods in Thomasville I can't think of any others in this...

Apple Airtags can be your best friend on international flights if you use an iPhone. If something didn't make your flight, you will know it and be able to notify your safari company ASAP when you land. Factory ammo in many different cartridges are available in South Africa. If your final...

I am a Weatherby fanboy! I think Roy was very ahead of his time on cartridge development, and even, to this day, his grandson, Adam is still innovating. Probably a good move in relocating from Californication to Wyoming. In almost every caliber, Weatherby makes the most powerful cartridge...

I, once, got to see both lying side by side when fishing in the Everglades. I took a picture, but can't find it to save my life. Sometime things range much farther north than they are "supposed" to live. A bonefish has been caught in New Brunswick, Canada!

I use my RCBS Rock Chucker. No problem.

.470 NE, if I can get close enough. .416 Rigby, if I need to use a scope.

When I was considering taking a croc in Mozambique a few years ago, I had practiced putting a .416 Hornady DGX in the brainstem. I would do whatever your PH recommends. With crocs on land, you want to make a precise shot with well constructed expanding bullet, just to make sure that it...

Alligators and crocodiles can't interbreed. Even though they look very similar, they are not as closely related as most people would think. They will fight each other, however...

Anyone see Kevin Costner's speech at the Park Cities Quail Coalition Dinner in Dallas two year's ago?

I was looking at Barne's website... My PH really liked Hornady DG ammo.

I called an 11 year old boy with long blonde hair and dressed in a unisex jumpsuit, "mame" last Friday. I took a few seconds of hell from "his" classmates, because of it. Hell, if you want to look like a girl, but don't be want to called a girl, then don't try to look like a girl. Sorry for...

A 5-Stand range is great practice for real hunting situations, as is a "Sporting Clays" course. (until you learn the course "too" well) A long time ago, Trap and Skeet was, but they have largely just become just a "game" unto themselves (Trap, less so than skeet, for actual hunting...

I like to put them about 12" above eye-level or higher. If it has to be lower, no big deal, as far as I'm concerned.

You called it, I just added video.

DGX has worked perfectly for me for buffalo, albeit with another chambering. 1 shot kill - .416 Rigby My rifle shot DGX and DGS to the same POI, so I carried some of both, just in case. My rifle, a CZ 550, was a less accurate with factory TSX, so I didn't use them. Barnes ammo was much...

Hornady just needs to stop at this point. Actually they should have stopped developing new cartridges 10 year's ago. IMO, nothing substantial has actually been gained, and most of this recent stuff won't even be available 10 years from now.

I have no firsthand experience. That was just what we were taught in one of the classes.

Battery powered chainsaws are, IMO, more dangerous than gasoline powered chainsaws, and can be VERY dangerous, especially, to uneducated chainsaw users. My brother, stupidly, bought one for his wife, because he didn't have any idea about how to properly operate a chainsaw. 1. Because they are...

Kevin lives in Africa, so he sees the value in collecting this old bull. (I'm pulling for you buddy!) I live in America, so I have a different "mindset." I would only take it if is was offered at a great price, or if hunting kudu, to me, were so common place, that I could give the old...

I am suddenly overwhelmed with the need to drag trolling lures slightly seaward of the muddy waters...

This has been my "Achilles Heel," a couple of times. My brain thinks that only way to handle that precarious situation is to buy a gun that chambers it.... Can it be dealt with another way??????

I am fortunate enough to live in a rural area that affords the opportunity to shoot quite a bit on my own property..... (A far cry from Hickok 45, however!) I probably fire at least 2,500 rounds of something every year.

"Defensive arms" aside... I like to have at least 200 rounds of proper factory loads that shoot well in the rifle. (Because, inevitability, the manufacturer will quit making it)

If you can't find an older BRNO, this would be a good bet: https://cz-usa.com/product/cz-457-jaguar/

Eley Tenex is expensive and is a great ammo, but some rifles don't like it either. I have shot several "perfect scores" with Federal Automatch from my CZ, but I no longer want to risk the "flyer," that come along about once every 50 rounds. If I was looking for an inexpensive, but very...

I shoot long-range metallic silhouette with a .22. (Ram is at 212yds) One of these 3 brands (in the "hunting rifle" category) wins every year. I've seen some good Kimbers & Coopers, but they are hard to find now. My Anschutz likes Lapua Center-X (although I have had trouble finding a...

Most are hunters and have rifles and shotguns. The women liberals have pistols for self defense.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to deal with customs with a suppressor. The reason I would go with a .30 caliber suppressor as opposed to a .338 is simply the versatility of the .30 caliber and using it on other rifles like something chambered in .300 Blackout, which is really quite. My son puts one...

Around me, it's simply a "gun culture" that doesn't even follow politics. I have several liberal friends and they all own guns.

I think we may be on the "same page." 100% of the rural Americans I now know and associate with, own and know how to use more than one gun. Male, female, and everyone older than 12. Life is still good in most of the hinterland.

I know we are mainly speaking of the US here, but it is amazing to me about the dichotomy of the urban/suburban person vs. the rural person. I have (briefly) lived in two, somewhat, urban areas in my life. Most of my life has been spent in rural areas. I, literally, don't know a person...

I enjoy obtaining rifles chambered for many, various cartridges. I am a contrarian, to those who want to "downscale" to just a few chamberings. The ammo shortages of a few years ago taught me the folly of having only a few chamberings. There have been at least two times in the last 15 years...

Kudo's to you! I'm a "rancher" with 3 only cows...

I seem to like CCI primers now.

I run a Husky 45 & 55 quite often. (These have been great for nearly 30 years!) I also have a small Jonsered, that I run on occasion. My next chainsaw will probably be a larger one. I think I will buy a Stihl next time. My buddy's big Husqvarna has had many problems, and has he hasn't...

I think the limit is either where you run out of secure storage space or if gun collecting starts to cause financial issues. If they are secure, I think that guns, probably even more so that precious metals, are one of the best investments a person can make. Golden Rule: "He who has the...

So, 81 years ago, the U.S. had a superior sniper cartridge, but we just didn't want to use it for some unexplainable reason???

IMO - The .300 Weatherby Magnum is the best .30 caliber ever devised. Roy Weatherby developed it in 1944. Winchester developed the .300 Winchester Magnum in 1963. Remington came along several years later with the .300 RUM. Then, Weatherby came along again, with the .300-.378 Weatherby...

Lechwe. Notice to all other members... Please make me delete all further posts ASAP! A semi-aquatic antelope in the deserts of Texas, just might make me "lose it..."

With a .338 Win. Mag or a .340 Weatherby Mag., at least, you don't have to worry about the bullets in rifle. The most inexpensive factory load of "cup & core" bullets will, cleanly, take any PG. Kudos, to you for not wanting to try to take an eland with a .243, arrow, pistol, or blowgun!

I killed a cape buffalo and baboon in Mozambique in late August of 2021 I picked up them up in Atlanta on 1/6/2023. I took them to the taxidermist the next week. I still don't have the mounts. 3 years, 8 months and still counting...

CTE may be my problem, as well. If I would have known I would have lived this long, perhaps, I would have taken better care of myself...

My son is the YouTube guy for our family... https://www.youtube.com/@FerruleWax At this point, he isn't really interested in African hunting yet, because he wants to use his youth hunting high elevation hunts in extreme terrain. (I can't blame him!)

If, I can now get a "senior pass" on every stupid thing that I might post, you might get some CRAZY content! But, you must take it, with the understanding that I may have "early onset" of something...

opp oops.. 2024 I guess I'm officially, "OLD."

The "side-gig" has always seemed to just about break even every year. I've never made hardly any money on it, but it has afforded me some great deals on fishing tackle, fishing trips, and I've had the opportunity to meet many "legends" of the sport! I took out a $15K HELC, my partner used a...

It's really amazing how there 3 simple rules can, at least, keep you out of poverty: 1. Graduate High School 2. Do not have a child until after you are married 3. Do not quit a job until you have obtained a better job In the U.S.A., that is really about all it takes to avoid being poor. If...
