Short of my backpack the truck is packed. I pick up Brian (Kingston) tomorrow afternoon, we'll grill some burgers, sip a libation, chew the fat and head out in the AM. Hopefully he is up for a Tex-Mex lunch on the way and we should land at the ranch near 1:00. My wife and I are both looking forward to the trip... You're taking your wife Ed!?? All the way to the frontlines of the Fire war zone!? You're a much braver man than me. Actually, you're definitely amongst gentlemen!! Have fun bud!! David

Looks like an absolutely great time. Dan, one of those Blackbucks are certainly on my bucket list. They're just cool!

I had to come back early today...a fabulous time, lots of great food, lots of pigs to shoot and ultimate male bonding. Weather was OK, too. I had a blast. Thanks again to "dvdegeorge" for setting this one up. I'll be going again next year, if I'm allowed. Bob

So has the Sausage Slaughter started yet? Inquiring minds want to know. JB- Although you couldn't be here, some of your bullets did come along. The photo below is of one you sold me a couple of years ago, which performed very well in bang-flopping a piggy. The hog was facing toward the blind about 100 yardsaway, with his head lowered as he snarfled up the corn bait. The bullet entered just above his head, and a skinner recovered it in a ham. . . The bullet is the discontinued 45 cal Nosler HG 260-gr Partition, loaded to about 2500 fps mv in the 450B cartridge for use in the new RAR bolt rifle. I was concerned whether the bullet, designed for magnum handgun velocities, might not stand up to the extra 500-700 fps above its presumed design max. It's performance indicates that Nosler might consider bringing it back for 45-cal rifles. . . --Bob

Dan that's a beautiful blackbuck!
I like that riflestock also... I think I saw some of those at Grice's when I was in Pa this past deer season. Lovely.
Looks & sounds like a great time I'm really going to have to make a point of getting down there one of these years!

Bob,
Excellent!
The only big game I ever shot with that Nosler was a medium-sized Iowa whitetail buck, the bullet starting at about 1900 fps from a Winchester 20-gauge sabot factory load, from the rifled barrel on a T/C Contender carbine. At 40-some yards the bullet went through the bones of both shoulders and exited. Your field test certainly indicates it can take even more velocity.

I know anyone can be at the wrong place. Did everyone get at least one? How many were killed by the one who killed the most? What was the largest? smallest? What was the average size? Captdavid
"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds.
If you are a hunter, and farther than that, get closer!
