Couple of things:

1. The greatest elephant hunter, Bell, shot most of his elephants with a 7x57. Smaller than a .308. With premium bullets, you can kill anything with a .308. Roy Weatherby used to hunt cape buffalo with his .270 Weatherby to prove it could be done. Patterson, the guy who killed the Tsavo lions, did it with a .303 Enfield.

2. Handloader just did a study that many of the lighter bullets, such as the Accubond, Interbond, Sirrocco and something else, do lost 10-15% more weight when shot over 3000fps. They go from 90+ to 80 if they're lucky.

3. I shot my last desert mule deer at 268 yards lasered (prone off a rest) with a .300 H&H Mag and 200grn Partitions. The meat was just fine.

4. This is my new Weatherby Vanguard that I bought in .338 Win Mag and had rebarreled with a Douglass barrell in .257 Weatherby Mag.

(I threw that in because I got it yesterday

What is the point of the form is everything on it is photoshopped? It proved nothing that way.

I can see removing your name and SSN, but other then that, you are asking to be called a lair, and with your past almost no one is going to give you any leeway.

Edit: PS the other pic means nothing as well, you would be amazed what you can get on ebay.

I just whited everything out and then typed back in the #s .
Also I whited out the sigs so that no one could copy them for illegal chit.

You would be suprised what you can do with someones sig!
LOL and I knew these cats and would not want them pissed at me.

So what If it proves nothing I really dont care at this point I know what I know and thats good enough for me.

I have of yet to see anyone else post anything to back up there claims.
Wonder why?

I can attest that the form Creamo has posted is completely authentic. I can tell you that he has attained a ranking of l33t u|\|d3rc0v3r |\|i|\|JA 5n1P3r and is an undercover oprative for the CIA flying super-duper undercover mishuns for the government in his F16 and doing battle with the most horrendus al qaida scorpions you can imagine. For his safety and for the safety of the thousands of amurrika's finest that rely on him getting the job done, I can't reveal any further information. Godspeed Agent Creamo!

Our second store, New England Outfitters is located just 20 minutes south off Rt 15. At which we have several indoor ranges. The two stores are partnered by three guys. My father, and two others. Its been an up hill battle but in the past few years things have gotten much better. I give my father and his other partners great credit in the work they have done to keep both of the stores moving forward.

Oops, totally missed your reply the other day. Great looking place! (I thought at first it was the Bass Pro Shop in Nashville!)

I’ve got to add a few things about Creamo;
He has a 44,800 sq ft home (his tool shed out back is 4.480 sq ft).
He is married to Jennifer Aniston (the whole Brad Pitt thing was a publicity stunt).
He can eat a live scorpion and ask for more, and not even get sick.
He has 4.6 billion dollars in the bank.

Winchester leredo 300 magnum w/ 40x tasco custom shop scope.

For Elk a 300 win mag is a good choice. But a 40X Scope??!! Tasco?! Even for long range target practice it isn't a good combo. Too much mirage effect on anything but a cool day. FOV waaay too tight for hunting deer and elk. I don't know of any snipers that actually use that much magnification when they are "sniping".

Don't know about the .300 Winchester Mag because I really wouldn't want to deal with the recoil. I feel that there is no need for that caliber to hunt North American game. As for the scope my favorite is Leupold and on all my hunting rifles I use the Vari X IIc in 3x9 with 40mm objective. I have never needed the x9 magnification.

Nice rifle! Congrats. .257 Weatherby...not familiar with it, but it sounds faaaaast.

Edit: Had to Google it. Yep, it's fast.

Guys, the facts are in on Mr. Black, Txmx, LAWCobra, Stratman, and it's many other iterations. why not start a flame thread on him so I don't have to look at it?
