Cool video!

I'll check at the shop. I think we have a bunch of fired brass.

I have only gone with Trophy Game Safari (5 times now) and have no desire to ever try anyone else. If we decide to hunt in a different part of Africa I will still go with them, letting them take care of the logistics. We are currently planning trips for 2025 and 2026. I recommend Trophy Game...

Report from Tino today. Not exactly what we wanted to hear but he is alive. He is a tough young man. Praying he can endure and survive. Good morning. Jephias was discharged from hospital yesterday. He has lots of swelling and body pain and is not able to walk on his own. I was able to have...

I hold responsible the folks on the right, that don't bother to vote, for the mess we are in. You never hear the left say "I'm not voting because my vote doesn't count".

Shoot it at some distance and see how the groups hold up.

I would push to find pressure and then back off a bit to comfortable. Often rifles will settle down with a bit of pressure.

Last February we did a load in a Ruger American 308 win with the 138gr Hammer HHT. We tried several powders and settled on Benchmark and a vel of 3050 fps with a small crimp oal of 2.759". We tried Leverevolution, good vel but poor accuracy. Varget was too compressed. TAC had good vel but...

Technically speaking these are not armor piercing bullets because they are made from a soft copper. They will do a great job putting holes in paper. ;)

I can't say that one design is inherently more accurate. I would say the Absolute design might be a little trickier to find the right powder combo. I think Ed @Zen Archery just did a load with the 105gr AHT in his Grendel. I'll let him chime in on it.

This one is pretty cool because of the short history of the rifle as a shoulder fired anti tank gun. https://hammerbullets.com/product/525-cal-878gr-target-hammer/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauser_Tankgewehr_M1918

Amanda took this photo as Jephias came out of surgery yesterday. He sais he felt much better they diverted his bowel movement to a bag. We have not heard from the doctor yet. I hope to het some news today. But they were also taking samples for testing. This is the message we got last night. He...

Razor wire and electric works pretty well in Africa!

They are both designed so that the ogive does not get engraved. Only the drive bands make contact with the barrel.

The AHT is designed so that the ogive of the bullet can not be engraved by the rifling. On this design we bring the dia of the ogive up to just less than bore dia and then a transition to the first PDR drive band. This makes the engraving pressure of the bullet very low since only the drive...
