I will try to make it out on Saturday. I could definitely use some R&R + I've been promising my daughter I'd take her camping & shooting. The weather looks like it will be nice as well.
On a more serious note: The downtown building in Dallas where my brother lives, was the one in the news that was surrounded by protesters yesterday. He and his young son heard the shots as the terrorists-protestors opened fire on the police. Both he and his son were shook-up, but they are ok.

Thanks Ken, it was a scary situation for them and a bad day for Dallas and the Nation.
Tonight the building across the street from him was evacuated due to a bomb threat.

Don't think the .470 will be there this year,as the owner is working. She could shoot my .460. ![wink wink](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif)

I explained the concept of recoil to her and how powerful the .470 is and she changed her mind. I'll bring a .22 for her.

Good luck. What kind of speed are you getting with IMR 3031? I'm hoping to put one of those same bullets, with IMR 8208 into a grizzly this fall.

57.o gave 2,825. This was an older can (lincoln log sticks) of 3031. Newer stuff (reformulated sticks) gives 2,750 at 57.5 gr.
Nosler 7 and Brian Pearce's testing (HL 289) with XBR 8028 shows great speeds - 2,900 fps in a 22" barrel for Pearce.
I was a die hard heavy-for-caliber Nosler guy, but think the 200 TTSX will dig a lot deeper.

210 ttsx in 338-06 at similar speed, broke the tip of the shoulder ball, severed the spine, broke the off side shoulder and was barely caught by the hide on the offside of a mature bull moose for me, at around 125ish yards.
Oh yeah, weight of bullet.... 210. and some fractional change... Only thing I didn't' find, tip of the bullet....
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
