In my study since acquiring an H&H double I've run across three different proofed bore diameters for the .50 BPE guns. So far I've read about guns having 38 gauge, 39 gauge and 40 gauge bores. Can anyone actually tell me what were the industry standard bore and groove diameters for these three...

Anyone out there have any dealings with Maple Freight in Zimbabwe, and Spherical Freight in South Africa?

Just finished re-reading African Game Trails again after first reading it about thirty years ago. An older more mature reading of the book revealed some interesting concepts on conservation and hunting that would do well to be periodically reinforced in active hunters and non hunters as well...

On my first hunts in Namibia, I had my trophies imported directly to my taxidermist here in the States. I never had anything to do with them until I picked them up after they were finished. My trophies from my most recent hunt in Zimbabwe, are to be finished in Zimbabwe. Is there anything I...

I have a nice left hand Ruger 9.3x62 but I want a little more horsepower for my next rip to Africa. So I'm throwing it out there....which should I get, a 375 H&H Left handed CZ, or re-barrel another LH Ruger to .458 Winchester

Being a lefty along with my son our selection of bolt rifles is limited and usually expensive. Having come into a lifetime supply of 9.3mm RWS H Mantel bullets we decided to get us what I consider to be just about the perfect all round Africa rifles. We each started with a left handed Ruger 3006...

My son and I recently returned from a hunt with Threeways Safaris in the Bietbridge East area of Zimbabwe. In a word it was great. Absolutely no complaints with anything controllable by man. The lead PH, Quinn Kloppers, was super, the accommodations were more than adequate, as was the food, but...

Any one have experience with either of these two bullets? I have a choice between the .510" Barnes 535gr. solid or the Woodleigh .510" 535gr. FMJ. Which would you choose? I'm a little leery of pressures with the longer bearing surface of the steel jacketed Woodleigh.

I'm planning on a buffalo/elephant hunt in the extreme SE corner of Zimbabwe next December, with Threeways Safaris. Has anyone experience with the weather, in this part of the country during that time of the year? Any experiences with Threeways Safaris?

This past August I hunted Cape Buffalo with Vaughan Fulton Classic Safaris. I would never go back to this outfitter. Frankly I am sick of talking about the details, but suffice it to say, during 6 days of hunting we walked and drove all over Salambala conservancy and the only thing we saw was...
