Yes, well, kids and all. I hold amazing powers. Occasionally, I even zap myself. You have to be very careful. A down side to being Minister of Science.
LOL You crack me up. Of course he is not old enough to own a firearm yet. But if he plays his cards right, he will be one day. Nothing wrong with planning for the future, even if your goals are a little miss guided or unrealistic. Isn't that what a lot of people are doing here? Trying to pick up or clarify information that they can use at a later date?Quote:

There are plenty of guests on this site that might read the mad ramblings in these posts and learn something that they never heard or thought of before. You know like, "Hey, you can use ear plugs to protect you hearing while you shoot? Dang that's a good idea!":D
I don't really think this forum helps, to much information is like no information. What is gained if every cartridge ever invented is recomended. Why not just say go to "Cartridges of the world" close your eyes a choose one.

This is a friend of mine's website. I helped develope these rifles. I am a former USMC sniper. Read the website to find out the remarkable features of these rifles.
He makes custom rifles that are astounding you can get a custom rifle for the price of a high dollar off the shelf rifle capable of shoot sub MOA at the ranges you mention. They are unique in many ways. I do not make anything referring you to him.
Honestly, tell your friend to get a new picture. That blurry out of focus one sort of puts a damper on his web site.
This hasn't happened in dozens of posts! Rick, I agree with you.
When's the slaw coming?
All I can say is you're learning. Agree with me more often. It's easy.:D
You must have missed some of my post. (I'm being kind here.)

You can handload the .375H&H for anything as well. And the .375 will do less damage on the meat than the .270.Quote:

Re: Shepherd Scopes. That's why I'm not a world class hunter or guide. I could NEVER spend $650 on a scope. Do you know how much bacon that will buy?
You ever dream about hijacking one of those refrigerated tractor trailers?:pQuote:

I think it was disbelief and disappointment followed by hunger. I don't miss dinner very often. No, I didn't starve but I had to get a new scope later and was only able to get one caribou that trip after I took the broke scope off. Good thing I practice with open sights too.Quote:

Here is a question for you .308 users. I know there is a bit of difference between .308 Winchester and 7.62 NATO. But I've read that the 7.62 headspace is made to match the .308 and the 7.62 pressure is less so it won't damage a .308 weapon (but not the other way around). Have any of you used 7.62 in your .308 weapon?
