That's a GREAT buffalo! Masailand?

NICE wood on that CZ 416! Mine in my avatar was much plainer. My biggest bores are muzzle loaders, 54 & 50 cal, then 45-70, then 44 Mag. Sold the 458 Win Mag Sold the 416 Rigby Sold the 375 WBY Kept: two 375 H&H rifles

With this light and short Kimber my shots will be limited to 350 yds, maybe a just a bit more, but I shoot set-n-forget lower power scopes and not as well as I did ten years ago. I'll be shooting a bunch of these that I got a few years back at a bulk sale. They were for my 6X57R drilling and...

I have found that Ramshot Big Game is an excellent powder for 165's and 180's in my several '06's. It delivers good accuracy and meters well. It's also my go-to in 9.3X62.

40-50 would get me started to see how well this rifle shoots, before I get a deeper investment into it. Based on much I read here from the informed and experienced members, I have some loads I'd like to try. I have a decent supply of LR primers and will probably discount using the Small Rifle...

I meant to say small RIFLE primers. I typed a brainfardt...blushes... 🥴

The rifle is used and has the Talleys installed. Florescent lighting washed the color out in the photos. It's earth tan. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1048905346

The Hunter comes with Talley LW mounts. I might change them out for Weavers, however. They're light, tough, and I have some older low rings with the large steel knobs. The Talleys are a bit high. They also allow me to have a second scope along on trips in case I bugger the one on the gun...

I shot a Kimber MT in 257 for years but sold it to pay some pressing bills...Big Mistake! It weighed nothing with the Leupold VariX 3-9 compact in Talley LW mounts. I also had a MT in 325 WSM that was my elk rifle. My grandson talked me out of it, but he lends it to me...lol. My FN LW 30-06 in a...

I have this coming. I'm new to the Creedmoor, but it seems like an easy to shoot and easy to load for round, and I need softer shooting and lighter guns now. It will probably get a camo paint treatment with my dash spray gun. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1048905346

Thank you to all who responded. It's got me comfortable about my choices. My next question is regarding brass. What should I get? I'll be using the Kimber for hunting and a little casual paper punching. I'm contemplating on getting 100 of these for starters...

Got me curious as to why? 😗

Wow...thanks for the heads up on reducing weight. My left arm and shoulder are so compromised that saving weight is a BIG DEAL. I have a couple of pounds of H4350, or even IMR for heavy bullets and might use the R17 for medium weight ones. I ran onto a box of 129gr SST's in the back of my...

I have a Kimber Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor on the way and would appreciate some loading experience/advice. I have various bullets for my 6.5X57R from 120gr to 142gr, and I have a selection of the old standard powders for 30-30 to 300 Wby and 375 H&H. It looks like R17, H and IMR 4895, H and IMR 4350...

Snickers ;)
