Ok, I have decided to chase unicorns!!

I am developing a .416 cartridge of my own, but as a matter of research I stumbled onto the 416 Strauss.



I decided to order a reamer from Manson's and a barrel from PacNor, and I have decided to build a 416 Strauss myself for some research. I am using an Enfield P14 action to build the rifle. I ordered a set of expanders and die from Manson's to expand the 303 British brass up to .416 caliber, and when the barrel and reamers are...

Hello AH Folk...

I have been carrying .350 Rem Mag's while guiding and hunting for four decades plus... I have always found that it really punches up with performance on game. It has also done a pretty decent job of stopping bears on a few occasions. I have had several over the years, a Rem 673 and several Ruger Mark II's... my current is a Ruger M77 Mark II Stainless in a laminate stock, that I load 250 Partitions over W748 for.
Are there any other fans out there? What are you shooting...

Upon further research I realized these guns came left handed. After a week of searching one popped up for sale here in Canada and I quickly purchased it. It's chambered in. 300 WM


My question is on the topic of Barrel Rechambering. I'm not overly sure on what calibre to pick? Ideally I'd like 458 Lott but I'm not sure how easily that will be done...

Dear AH members;
I am not afraid of poisonous snakes. Nevertheless, I am interested in how often (poisonous) snakes have been seen during safaris in Africa. To make this thread meaningful, I would appreciate your feedback on the number of snake sightings (if possible, name the species) in relation to the duration (number of hunting days) of your hunts. However, I also find it interesting to know that, for example, no snakes were seen during yout hunts (please...
