"Elephant Hunters, Men of Legend" by Tony Sanchez-Arino.
Not well known but one of the best books on the subject. The author himself is one of the last ivory hunters and he preserved many great...
I used my own cast ranging from 465gr to 525gr. I did lots of testing with many media and also studied recovered bullets. You don't want casts to be too hard. You don't want to push them too fast...
Leave your rifle at home and use only 500S&W. I've been shooting said John Ross 500 over 10 years now and killed both animals you're after. Good cast bullet works just fine and no need to spend money...

Very curious. How did he modify and why?

You should feel lucky for 3 things;
1: You still have a LGS around you.
2: Your wife comes with you.
3: You can negotiate the price of revolvers.
Do you have an outdoor range that you can still...

I just had a primer that missed primer pocket and half in half crushed shape. I simply decapped and put new primer and completely forgot about the bad one, until now.

Don't do anything. Just trade with someone really needs it here. You're too late to get into the game.
How do they know if you're not the original owner? Do they require some kind of proof? I have several guns that were supposed to be NIB when I bought them but other than they appeared to be new, I...
Yes, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson have been really good to me. When I lived in NH, guns came back just about a week and sometimes they did more than I asked for.
I agree many people on this thread. This was real surprise and I hope he can come back. Let's not forget the fact he is 80 and still shooting big guns with precision. Do you know anyone else like...

Yes, inertia causes the problems associate with cylinder unlocking, endshake, etc. But one thing everyone missing is, the inertia will be deferent with different shooters. If a shooter is 300lb and...
I'm with 44man on this. I experienced exactly what he's talking about. I shoot 280gr sometimes but mostly stick with 250gr and 265gr for M29s. If you want to shoot heavier, faster bullets/boolits out...
Ok, I have to ask.
Is STP 100% synthetic? If it works, Mobil1 or other premior motor oil works better?

Tried melatonin on and off in the past 15 years or so. Sometime it worked, sometime didn't. What really awful is when I take it but still wake up after only 3h or so later. Feel sleepy, drowsy, tired...

More and more I realize the importance of good night rest, I look into investing better bed, mattress, pillow and stuff. Then that $ number directly translated to gun stuff. Gun stuff always win...
Unless absolutely, positively needs to get done, I would leave it alone. Some of the non pinned barrels are fit really tight and refuse to come off. One example;
