    Hunting & Fishing Shooting baboons with subsonic .308?

    Re: Shooting baboons with subsonic .308? I tried a 308 200 grain Lapua subsonic on a feral pig at about 100 yards. The impact on the animal makes a "whack" similar to dropping a book on the floor. The pigs scattered immediately, and the bullet failed to put down the intended pig with my usual...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Semi-Custom 1911 Reliability

    Re: Semi-Custom 1911 Reliability I change the springs early because it is my EDC. I was taught always to sling shot, so cannot comment on the use of the slide stop. As mentioned, the Baer replaced some Wilsons. I am very satisfied with Baer.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Semi-Custom 1911 Reliability

    Re: Semi-Custom 1911 Reliability I carry a Baer SRP every day for one reason - it runs more reliably than any other pistol I've owned. In the past, I owned two Wilsons, a Stealth and a Tactical Elite. The Stealth was wonderful, the Tac Elite was a real headache. Despite two trips back to...

    Hunting & Fishing Looking for a good .308 hunting load, input?

    Re: Looking for a good .308 hunting load, input? To the OP, The Amax will work fine. If you have a good load that you shoot well, stick with it. Here is my wife on a cull deer with the 168 Amax. She usually uses the 175 SMK, but we had a box of Hornady factory ammo to use up, so she...

    Hunting & Fishing 257 Weatherby?

    Re: 257 Weatherby? As already mentioned, avoid the Ballistics Tips. One of the worst hunting experiences I ever had was helping with a group of hunters, one of whom was using a 25-06 with Ballistic Tips. He wounded deer and pigs with every shot. The ones that we recovered had surface...

    Hunting & Fishing girth depth for animals

    Re: girth depth for animals Their sizes vary too much to be reliable enough for accurate ranging, but 14" - 19" depending on age, weight, and genetics. For comparison, here is a 7 1/2+ year old next to a very healthy 4 1/2 year old. The mature deer's body outsizes him by 20% or more in...
