Really? Where are you headed? You and Sactoller finally get your trip scheduled?

Nope. Im headed to Tejas, Blackbuck and Axis. Sactoller is dragging his feet on getting the airlines to go direct to Windhoek...

Tell him "hi" back, next time you talk with him.

Back to more pleasant tops. I'll be hunting Chital in about three weeks! Only I wont be using the 7x57...taking a .243...( So I can shoot NBTs in it without ridicule...) Tom Successful choices do not need justification. The 150BT already has Dober's endorsement. Good enough. John

John...I did not know the bullet had Dober's Seal of Approval. I shall sally forth with confidence!

He said Dober approved the 150s. You taking the IS instead of the .243?

For the Corbett fans, there's a nice articlee on him and the tiger of Mohan in the May/June issue of Sports Afield on page 88 with a few photos. Just a heads up if you haven't seen it. Also a good article by JB on rifling twists. Paul B.

And Wally Johnson's well-used M70 .375. Excellent pictures as well.

I am going to try some 175gn Accubond LR's in my Super grade Featherweight Model 70. This could be a good combo. John

Thinking 175 RN Interlocks for whitetails & 139 Interlocks for pronghorn? Or maybe 154 spires for both?
If they shoot well (and they usually do), don't be afraid to fling 139 Interlocks at anything nondangerous. They dig deep.

In keeping with the Dober theme, I believe it ought to have been "...go forth and fill an ark..."? Dang I miss that dude; thanks for pointing out the 150 NBT as a great "all around" choice.

I might have to load some up at about 2500 fps. I expect that'll work.
Ingwe, I heard there is a new 150 grain bullet for the .243. It's yellow and made by Dixon Ticonderoga. Think that's what Dober was talking about?

IMR-4350 worked well in my Featherweight with 150 gr NBT's.

I will check into it. I just picked up a few boxes of Hornady 140 grain Rigby and a couple of boxes of Prvi Grom. I haven't found anything the M1999 won't shoot very well so I'm a little slow at trying to work up any loads.
