    Pose for Lioness mount

    No problem on the Post. I hadn't seen the finished product until this morning when it was delivered. Don't know I would have said it was mine just glancing at your post. The male was NOT mine. Steve's son does some amazing work with cats though. Very happy with the end result.

    Chapuis and Sabatti double rifles?

    Edward, what are you referring to here? I'm travelling SAA in May and taking my S&W 500 with me. As long as the necessary permits are waiting upon arrival, there is no issue with handguns being taken. I actually worked with Henry out of riflepermits.com for my pre-approval paperwork. As far as...

    Lion Taxidermy Pictures

    Keep in mind that to get the best effect, you really should be looking at it eye level. Unless the base is high, down on all fours just does not give the effect of looking it in the eye!

    My lioness is being worked on by Critter Creations in PA and will be similar to above poses. I'll have to see if Steve can give me a pic or two of the in process work. She'll be on a rock base, basically pouncing/leaping with front legs extending/reaching out. We were debating just one back leg...

    a better die set for 450/400 3" NE?

    Just my personal experience which seems different from yours, but I have big bore brass I've loaded atleast 10 times now and still have no issue with. Never crimped my 450/400 and presently not crimping my 500 either although the most any of that brass has been reloaded at this point is 3 times...

    a better die set for 450/400 3" NE?

    Absolutely no reason to crimp then

    a better die set for 450/400 3" NE?

    Is your 450/400 a double or magazine bolt gun? Wondering why you're crimping unless it's a magazine bolt gun.

    a better die set for 450/400 3" NE?

    M Matt, See if Dave is willing to look at the dies by sending him 2 or 3 spent brass to work with. They are usually willing to work it out if the possibility exist of a problem on the manufacture side. Hate to see you go back to Hornady!

    I'm in Love!!!

    AND YOU DIDN"T BUY IT??? You'll learn sooner or later. Opportunities like that are rare. Take advantage while yu can.

    Solid or Partition Bullets for African Lion

    Although both would do the job if properly placed, my preference would not be a solid. They are relatively thin skinned and so you would want a fairly fast expanding soft to maximize tissue damage.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Has Anyone Hunted With Tsoma Safaris?

    Please provide details as generic information/generalizations are a disservice to all. I'd like to get ahold of the landowners to hear their side firsthand. Information on why he was banned from SCI as well so I can follow up.

    Best overall lion rifle

    Couldn't have said it better Shakari. Picking the right bullet and putting it in the right spot is the major factor here. A quick expanding soft in that .375 will do just fine unless you are looking for an excuse to purchase a new gun.

    a better die set for 450/400 3" NE?

    Matt, I use the RCBS set for my 450/400 and really like it. I have ordered 2 different Hornady dies sets for various calibers in the past and absolutely hate them. Cheap pieces of junk. As CH4D dies were mentioned, just ordered a set for my 500 NE and love that as well. Price is 2.5Xs Hornady...

    450/400 NE load data?

    Solids are straight out DGS. Haven't found need to change them out. DGX are obviously a different story.

    450/400 NE load data?

    P.S. DGX/DGS are cheap enough for practice and the loads above are what I use in my double.

    450/400 NE load data?

    Matt, I use 77gr of IMR4831 and a CCI 250 primer for 400 gr DGS/DGX ( mimics factory loads). I use 78gr of IMR4831 and a CCI 250 primer for my 400 gr Dead Tough Softs. Steve

    Effectiveness of the 450/400 NE

    Matt, I have a 450/400 double rifle. Took a tuskless at 13 yards (frontal brain) and got roughly 40" penetration (took her low in trunk and bullet found at back of neck/head just under skin). Took impala and baboon at over 100 yards each. Plenty enough power even though it is slow. Recoil is...

    Merkel

    Might I suggest you take the .375 you have and leave the Merkel for down the road. There is nothing wrong with Merkels and I own one in 500 NE, but I noticed you said this is your first hunt. Spend the money on extending the trip and taking more trophies. After you get that first trip out of the...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Has Anyone Hunted With Tsoma Safaris?

    I hunted with Styger through another company (he was not the primary ph) and really liked him. Thinking about leopard and wanting feedback on those who might have hunted with him. I hear he does not do the traditional bait and wait but has great success using Bushmen trackers.

    Trijicon RMR for a double - what size dot?

    You'll like the smaller. I have both a Doc optic and a Burris fastfire III on my doubles. Both makers have advantages/disadvantages I like. Stay with a 4 or less for size as you will find that the larger dots really start obscuring targets as the distances increase.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Lion & Oryx With San Souci Safaris

    I have to agree. I previously booked with Theo and can say that he has his hunter's best interest in mind and goes that extra step to take care of you and make sure everything is right and what you want. He offers incredible deals to boot!

    ZIMBABWE: Hunting Zimbabwe With Phillip Smythe In Chirisa

    Congrats on what sounds a great hunt! I hunted with Phil in Aug 2012. 8 days and I shot a buff, bushbuck, tuskless, eland, baboon, and 2 impala. Phil runs a great camp and knows the area quite well. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
