That's exactly how it was for us earlier this month.

I don't know what you use it for, but have you tried heavy round nose bullets? I had the same problem with a much loved and used Ruger 77. It started to open up with spitzers so I tried 220gr Hornady RN . Shrank the groups markedly and very effective on game.

No such thing as overkill. Dead is dead. Unless you are using artillery !

I thought the Resistance tried to delay SS Das Reich from reaching Normandy in time to affect the Landings. HIndsight is wonderful . I visited Oradour some 15 years ago with my daughters. To say it was upsetting is an understatement. All over the occupied zone are memorials to Heroes murdered by...

If wind is a factor in a shot on deer, should you be shooting that far ? Wind is certainly not predictable nor consistent..

First press I bought was a Rockchucker in the early eighties. Guess what! Still using it now !!! Built to last.

Good luck! I'll join you !

I loved Zambia. A school friend emigrated there in the seventies and I was lucky enought to hunt with his fiancee's father. We hunted west of Kafue NP. Mfunta I believe. Also hunted Kafue Lechwe with Nicky Blunt at Lochinvar. Hunted with Sten Cedegren in Chiawa. As you said we were warned...

I hunted Chiawa ,GMA, next to Lower Zambezi NP in 1983 when it was wilderness. There wasn't much in the way of river activities then., but walking along the Zambezi was awesome.. It's all changed now unfortunafely.

I have always enjoyed Kruger ! Etosha is different but also enjoyable. Depends on what you are looking to see !

Never come across that. 270, 7mm are quite popular in Limpopo.

I remember Guns and Ammo carrying out tests in the 70's using various calbres and bullet styles . They used a "hedge " of wooden dowels in front of a target. The conclusion was all types of bullet deflected equally thereby disproving the myth of so called brush buster cartridges.

It's caused by recoil, the front of the mag impacts the noses as the rifle recoils. Often made worse by weak magazine springs. Even plastic tipped bullets can show this. It's often a good idea to remove such rounds from the mag and use them for practice. I always put a fresh round on top when...

Jacketed lead bullets don't have exposed lead . The jacket is a copper alloy . I just shoot both in all my rifles without cleaning in between . Just check your zero !!!

How long is a piece of string ? Many on here travel the length of the country or travel abroad for stalking/ shooting. Southern Africa is most of a day travelling !!!.
