    Sellier & Bellot bullets

    I just picked up 2 boxes of 180 grn TXRGs in 30-06, I have a range trip planned for next weekend to see how they shoot in my Ruger #1. Does anyone know how the TXRG preforms on game? I assume they a very similar to Barnes TSX but its never safe to assume.

    35 Whelen or 300 Win??

    Having used both the 35 Whelen and the 300 WM on safari I can honestly say I prefer the 35 Whelen. I've used the 250 grn NP and the 225 grn TSX and I my opinion the 225 TSX is the bullet to use. On our first safari our PH's challenged my brother and I to a shooting compitition we used our 35...

    Binos for Africa

    Gear choices are always a personal decision and many of the responders to this thread prefer high end glass with or without a built-in range finder. The truth is you don’t need a pair of binos that cost more than your plane ticket or your rifle to hunt Africa. A $200-$500 is all you need to hunt...

    Caliber recommendations

    Because you are hunting the Eastern Cape I recommend the 300 WM with a 200 grain bullet. My 13 year old son used that combination to great effect last year in the Eastern Cape, now I struggle to get him to shoot anything else.

    How many guns is “too many”?

    When I get asked "why do you have some many guns" by a non-gun person I ask then "why do they have so many shoes" and that normally ends their questions.

    ZIMBABWE: Has Anyone Been On Safari With Victoria Falls Safari Services

    I have meet and spoken with Sean Scott several times at our Kansas City SCI Chapter meetings and banquets. I have bid on several of the hunts he donates yearly to our chapter but I always get outbid.

    Best All Around Caliber for Plains Game

    For my money at 300 yards or less I'll take the 35 Whelen with a 225 grn TTSX. My son would opt for the 300WM and the 200 grn Terminal Accent.

    Indulge me...Ruger no 1 thoughts.

    On my one and only Buffalo hunt I used my No.1 in 416 Rigby, as you can see from my posted pictures eariler and my avatar the hunt turned out well, but it was more exciting than I wanted. My PH and I where charged at 7 yards by my buff and chased off by a bull elephant in the span of 20 minutes...

    Indulge me...Ruger no 1 thoughts.

    The sun was in my eyes, so I may be squinting. I'm right handed but left eye dominate, so I've been hunting with a #1 for the last 35 years. I love how short and handy the #1s are, they are easy to carry in the field and work well in tree stands. The No. 1 I used on my buffalo weighs a trim...

    Any love for the federal terminal ascent?

    My 13 year old son used 200 TA in his 300WM to great effect in the Easter Cape last July. His shots ranged from 90 yards on the warthog to 351 yards for the Kudu. As for accuracy the attached target was a cold bore shot and two additional shots at 100 yards. My may never use another rifle or...
