I am now 57 and this is the way I have always done it with deer sized and smaller game until last year. Two shoulder surgeries and one knee surgery since then. Now they come out the same way but I get my buddy to do it! BTL

My brother has brought his 375 to Africa 5 times so far and he will be going again with a first time friend in a couple months. He is obviously comfortable with his 375 as am I, up to a point. I would not want to spend an afternoon working up loads while shooting it from a bench, but shooting it...

I have only been to South Africa once and I brought my 338WM and my brother brought his 375 H&H. Our PH provided a suppressed 270 for all of his clients to use on everything accept animals that require a minimum bullet diameter according to their laws. The PH did not offer dangerous game hunts...

It’s the shot I focus on inside of 300yds, the high heart shot. Five of my last six antelope were heart shot. The sixth was at 386yds and that was a double lung shot. BTL

I am shooting the 175 ELDX in my 8 twist 7mm RM. at a modest 2685fps. My first kill was a cow elk at 180yds. The bullet entered behind the right leg taking out the aortic arch took out two ribs and was recovered under the hide of the left shoulder. The elk took the hit and made a slow 5 step...

Why limit your barrel taper choice to the cheap synthetic stock that your rifle came with? I just checked on fleabay and there are many many Remington 700 LA stocks for sale cheap. And I have a slew of rifles in 30.06: 8-M1 Garands all Manufacturers, 1-1903 Remington, 1-1903A3 Remington...

Nice! Congratulations to all. BTL

Explained so even my simple mind can understand. BTL

I am sorry but I do not understand the message that you are trying to convey in your last sentence

180 7mm RM 2860fps. Cow Elk 150yds. Elk staggered in a circle for about 5 seconds then tipped to over. Bullet entered right side and empty jacket was found under hide on left leg. Close shot, zero lead in jacket.
