    300 Win Mag or 338 Win Mag

    Can’t go wrong with .338 Win Mag. Great flat shooting round and easy to reload.

    For all you 30-06 owners, what bullet are you using?

    I use 180gr Nosler Partitions on most of North American large game and African game for animals under a 1000lb. Rifle is .30-06 Weatherby Vanguard, never had fliers or failures.

    Looking for a new hunting bullet... Which one!??!

    Have you tried 180gr Nosler Partitions? Your 300WSM should easily drop any whitetail, Muledeer and elk with a well placed shot with the Nosler Partitions. Having taken over 40 African antelope and as many N American deer with a .30-06 using the 180gr NP I strongly recommend them. And, I...

    Who is your favorite hunting influencer?

    I fully agree, Robert Ruark’s books influenced me as well as my wife who was born in Tanzania to her missionary parents and grew up in Kenya. Her father hunted to provide for family and protection for locals. My father was also an influencer to me as I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania hunting...

    New rifle...... Flinching

    My question is: why would you take a shot at any animal at 1000 yards. Stalk in or call it to you and make an accurate shot at under 400 yards. The risk at 1000 yards is a wounded animal that can suffer for days. There is nothing macho in that. As for recoil, yes the noise level of a brake can...

    What dies should I buy?

    Gees, am I the only one using Hornady dies and presses? Hornady FL dies with their quick in and out system is a great time saver. To address the question: Any die will do the job. It’s all in the fine tuning of the set up.

    Scope that won't break on 300 win mag

    I don’t believe it There is no reason why a .300 WM would “break” scopes. Especially a Vortex. I have Vortex scopes on rifles in .338 RUM and .375 H&H and these are $600+ ones, never have had a problem. I would look to the scope mounts you are using. I had a Sako that kept causing high shots...
