    Barnes Bullet Stabilization- Specifically .458 Lott 500 grain

    Yes, I loaded them myself (H335 in Hornady brass). Recovering the bullets from the kudu and sable will probably require a Zimbabwe mining permit. :D

    Barnes Bullet Stabilization- Specifically .458 Lott 500 grain

    I only have a sample size of one buffalo to work from, but this was the 450gr TSX from my Lott that did the job, starting out around 2400 fps. Dug it out of the hide on the far side of a broadside shoulder shot from about 80 yards, and it busted up everything it encountered along the way. I...

    Help needed. Virgin 300WM brass measurements?

    My quick sample of a dozen virgin ADG shows .507" to .508" just above the belt.

    Rifle Insurance

    Talk to Cole Cushman at https://gunandtrophy.com/. I have both my firearms and taxidermy insured with him. Very easy to work with, but I have not had to file a claim so can't speak to that aspect.

    I really want another revolver

    For Christmas 2021 my wife bought me a current generation 6" Python just because I pointed to a magazine cover and said it would be fun to have. The double action is remarkable, but the single action pull is not so good. I tend to shoot it DA most often, and it's easy to do so accurately. The...

    Berger 6.5 156

    Thanks - that worked! I actually had them in my basket earlier and they were OOS before I could get checked out. Faster on the trigger this time.

    Cleaning titanium suppressors?

    Here's what Dead Air told me about my Nomad LT: Take off the back cap/adapter and the front cap. Then you can use a 50/50 mix of CLR and water and dump it down the silencer as you move it around. Then fully rinse it out with water. Let it dry and install everything and head to the range again...

    Fierce Rifles

    Of course! Those were set-up to use bird shot for shooting pigeons in the barn.

    Long range deer hunting in the Midwest .

    I'm in Missouri as well, but I've never heard of this .35 caliber or larger restriction. Is this some kind of local requirement? I'm not aware of a single piece of kit that will range and measure wind, and I don't thin k you get the whole wind picture just measuring at your shooting site...

    Bedding a KRG bravo?

    I don't think bedding a chassis is a common move, but I'm open to learning otherwise. I've got a .300 NM Terminus Kratos X anchoring a 30" Bartlein in a Bravo and so far I haven't seen the need to bed it, but that's a first hand sample size of one. I'm interested to hear other views.

    Fierce Rifles

    I've got a Carbon Fury and feel the same as Quintas does. I'm running ABLRs and very happy with it. The only thing I can add is that the magazines are a work of art, both aesthetically and functionally.

    338 Win mag

    I'll second (or third of fourth or whatever it is) the RL19 and 225 gr. TTSX combination. Certainly don't need that much cannon for whitetail, but has worked well for me, from whitetail up through eland. If I had to whittle down to one rifle to cover the broadest range of hunting scenarios, a...
