Have heard about this place for years but recently got a recommendation this is a place to come. Can’t wait to join in the conversation.
BTW I’m from the middle of the Cascades in Washington state. We’ve got all the usual critters here - Deer, bear, lion, elk (Rocky and Roosevelt) and plenty of wolves but they’re currently off-limits.

I am going to handload the .375 H&H& Magnum to the max (buff loads) using 350 grains Degol bullets (RN and FMJ). In Europe American powders are sometimes hard to come by. Hence, I will use either Swedish Bofors or Finnish Vit powders. I could not find published data for 350 grains and therefore I would like to use simulated loads to start with. Are there any significant differences in simulated data between Quickload and the Freeware Gordan's Reloading Tool (GRT)? Your help is highly welcome!!!

Everyone,

If you were faced with the decision of selecting only either a .470 NE or a .500 NE 3” what criteria would you base your selection on?

Thanks in advance.

So the wife and I were looking at surprising the girls, age 14 and 11, with a little trip the week after Christmas.

We haven’t been able to travel much in a while with young boys, age 1 and 3.


Anyways the original plan was for my wife and I to take the girls and leave the boys with my wife’s parents. We forgot that my wife’s father is having shoulder surgery before Christmas so it probably wouldn’t be the best time to stick them with the boys.

The new plan is for wife and girls...

I am thankful to be alive and well, particularly when I think about all the things that could have killed/mangled me. When I was young, we were expected to do things that involved some risk--like climbing a rope up to the top of the gym bldg. without falling as part of physical education, or being thrown into deep water and told to swim. Those were mild preparations for life's risks.
Often we take the lesser of two evils: like, walk back 15 miles to camp after the swamp buggy has broken down...
