for several years and has yet to let me down. I have blown several scopes out from under it, but that's not the guns fault. I drowned a Nilgai but that wasn't the gun's fault. So far 12 big 750 lb to 2000 LB critters taken with that gun. All but 2 with one shot each. That was luck on my part. All taken with a 210 grain or 220 grain silhouette bullet.
I was crying and whining on here one day (I do that a lot) that I was just about out of 41 caliber silhouette bullets (the only bullets that gun has ever had thru it).
About a week later a 15 lb box of silhouette bullets came in from my best friend, John Taffin. There were about 25 boxes of bullets in that big box, enough to last me a lifetime, and in case I haven't said it lately....THANK YOU JOHN. I'll do a hoochy koochy dance at your next wedding.
And if I haven't said so lately to you Misfits, keep your friends close and treasure them. A couple of years ago I was whining (again) on here that I had an African Lion hunt in a few weeks and no 375 caliber Hornady Dangerous Game Bullets. I called another good friend, Steve Hornady and told him I needed a couple of boxes of the DGB bullets. He said OK but about an hour later he called back and said he didn't have a box of 375 caliber bullets in the building and he had an African hunt scheduled about the same time as mine. He said to let him look some more.
Again he called and said one of his employees thought he had a box of the new DGB bullets at home and would run home and check. Steve called again and said his employee had an almost full box, 41 bullets to be exact. Steve split them for us and gave me 20 bullets and kept the remaining 21 bullets which saved my bacon. It also saved my African lion hunt.
So again to another very good friend and gentleman, Steve Hornady, THANK YOU STEVE. If any of you need some of the finest reloading equipment, talk to the fine folks at Hornady.
