Children are the decoration of the world

Yesterday, here on our forum, I saw a photo where a starving child is trying to eat a bug in the grass with the last atom of strength in order to survive. In the background stands a vulture bird waiting. Although I have seen similar photos until now, I did not sleep all night because of that picture. I am 44 years old and I am not naive, I know very well that things in the world are not ideal.
But, I can't help but wonder if there is still at least a little bit of humanity in people!?! ...

Thoughts on 7BC?

Just finished putting together a demo rifle for a client chambered in 7BC. It's an absolute tack driver. I can just pile bullets through one ragged hole at 100 yards. In case my client doesn't go with my proposal, I usually sell them off through other channels to get my money back. In this case, I may keep it. I was planning on taking my 300PRC to SA next year, but this rifle is giving me reason to reconsider that. Has anyone used 7BC on African plains game?

Politics

I understand its an old rifle but...

Easiest Way to make 458 Winchester Brass?

New guy here. I've purchased a 458 Winchester Model 70 and now I need brass to reload for it.

I've read where converting 458 Lott brass is just a simple trim and chamfer? I've ready about fireforming 300 Win mag, 338 Win mag etc....

This will be for plinking so the mis-stamped brass doesn't bother me.

What has everyone found to be the easiest/best way?

Many thanks.
