Posted these links on a few sites figuring I'm not the only one who likes his stuff.

One of the animals for which the 375 is juuuust right

Rifle is a pre '64 70, using 270 failsafes. The bear took 3 hits but never took a step after the first shot. Hide squared 9'4".

One I made

and me testing another

Terry, among other things, wrote the reloading column for Petersons Handguns for many years.

Probably my Turnbull/USFA flattop target.

Buffalo Bore uses cases with the headstamp HVY .45 colt. I asked him years ago if he'd sell me brass and at the time he wouldn't. Perhaps he's changed his mind. Heres a link to a pic of the headstamp:

Actually I found it to be pretty amusing.

If you can find them the winchester failsafes were a very good dangerous game bullet. I used one on brown bear last year and it opened a good sized hole corner to corner on the bear. The other fellow on the hunt used Woodleigh bullets in a 375 ulltramag and at those speeds It looked like they overex...

Thanks Marc, Just called the biologist for gmu 17 and he was suprised to see my spring '07 bears info in the system already. He said it usually takes about a year.
