In the last 3 years I've shot a moose and 2 deer, all still hunting. Moose was at 7 yds, one deer at 10 yds (came up behind me dead downwind of me) and last year's doe was a long shot, almost 25 yds....

Hang them on a nail until they fall off before cooking to be sure the meat is properly aged.

You know why there's no crows hit on the road?
There's always one on the side saying "Car! Car!"

I run the Ranchdog TL 411255 plain base at about 1000fps with AA#2 from both a 6 1/2" Blackhawk and a Marlin 1894S with great results. I can get 1500+ fps with the Marlin, but accuracy suffers so I...

I meant Dakar, thanks for correction. We stopped there on the return trip, Joburg-JFK, not on the way over. I have heard they return nonstop now, but am not sure. They ran out of bottled water on the...

I hunted with CT Safaris a couple years ago in Limpopo. I would strongly recommend that you tell Chris that you want to hunt on foot, rather than riding around in circles in the truck all day.

I'll wait for the 41 mag. You could almost buy a Marlin Cowboy for that price if you could find an old real one.
My 1894S shoots well with the Lee 210gr TLSWC with 6 gr of #2 Improved. Ranch Dog has a bullet designed for the Marlin throat, mine doesn't feed them well but they shoot well at modest velocity, my...
First try I made with my 375 Ruger, 280 gr GC Lyman with 40 gr Varget shot 1.5-2" at 100 yds. Might be worth a try, came up with this after good luck with Varget in 45-70.
I have a Lyman 375449 mold on the way, can anyone recommend a start charge with Varget, H4350, IMR8208XBR, or H4831 in 375 Ruger African? I plan to cast ice water cooled wheel weights plus chilled...

Looks like the nose is larger than bore dia., sizing will not help that part. I use Lee collet dies and seat .311 Ranch Dog TLC311-165RF with no problem, bell cases by hand after trimming,...

I've shot a ton of the Lee TL210 SWC with 6 gr AA#2 and CCI 300 primer. 1000 fps from 6.5 " Blackhawk, a little faster from 1894S Marlin. Works great on Rabbits etc, same power as 45 acp.
Hi all, I'm new here. I have an 1894CL 25-20 I've been working with a RanchDog TLC258 80gr. Have had good luck with as cast, no GC, lubed with Turtle Wax and 3 gr AA #2 Improved, small pistol primer....
