THANK YOU RANCE SAFARIS

I'm in Henderson, just up the road from, you. Let's talk a bit. Tom Murphy

I'm just up the street from you (Henderson). If you would like to get together and talk about your double, let me know. I've got an unfired Ruger #1 in the same caliber. I've also hunted Africa, and would like to take a double there one more time. Tom Murphy

Sold and I bought the #1 in 450/400.

I'm selling it to purchase a Ruger #1 in 450/400.

Like new Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan in .416 Ruger. Leupold 2.5x20 Compact scope, Magnaported, Hogue stock, 20 inch barrel. Recently taken to Zimbabwe’s Matetsi Safari Area where it performed as expected. Shoots a 400-grain bullet into less than one inch at 50 yards. Photos of the hunt will come...

I've got a few boxes of Kynoch 410-grain softs and solids that I want to sell. These are new production - 5 to a box. $46 per box. 20 boxes of soft point and 7 boxes of solids.

300-grains I have 30 boxes of soft and 9 boxes of solids. So far, 20 boxes of softs are spoken for. Common calibers are going fast - much faster than I figured.

300 H&H is 300 grain bullet loads - both soft and solid.

I had zero idea that I couldn't ship ammo to Alaska. Do you have a FFL who could receive it?

I've got a small amount of new in the box Kynoch ammo for sale. Here's what I have by box of five cartridges. Prices are for quantity order, small orders will be slightly more. Shipping costs depends on number of boxes. 458 Lott - 34soft, 9 solid - $37.83 per box 416 Rigby - 20soft, 9 solid -...

500-grain Hornady into the second vertebrae. Sounded like a tree falling when the 'ol stink bull went down. The shot was between 35-40 yards. it fed a whole group of villagers.

I'm not real good with a handgun, so I have to shoot at large, economy-sized targets. S&W 500.

Sold! Thanks all.

Ruger isn't going to make any more of these, so I am going to put it in the safe and keep it. Good luck on finding one. The 375 Ruger is one 'ell of a cartridge. Gave the zebra shown above an instant dirt nap.

I just traded for an unfired H&R Handi Rifle in 444 Marlin. It came with two boxes of Hornady 265-gr ammo. What's your general opinion of these rifles in this caliber? BTW: I know the scope is worth more than the rifle. I just had it on hand. It was bought years ago when Leupold had a...

I've got about 3 sq feet of elephant belly. Also got photos of the elephant when it was wearing the aforementioned skin. What are you trading?

I've hunted Sankuyo with Johan Calitz. What an incredibly beautiful area. Animals everywhere. The local villagers sure liked the meat we provided, and the health clinic that hunter's money built. I was lucky enough to hunt Botswana three times. Shutting down hunting was a huge mistake...

Ok, ok, we've all seen the 750 Thumperboomer, the .577 T Rex, the little .700 Nitro, the 12 gauge-from-hell, right? Well, now it's time to bring this big bore craze to an end. I offer you the Swiss Tankbuchse 41. it laughs at elephants; snickers at blue whales, and can stop a charging laundry...

For those of you who enjoy cooking, here's a Japanese Yanagiba single-side knife made by Masamitsu in Japan. The Kanji engraving on the front of the blade says “Made by Masamitsu”. The backside of blade has engraving called “White Steel”. (It is the Japanese Carbon steel name “White Steel”)...

May 2015 I hunted a lion and harman's zebra with my Ruger #1 in 375 Ruger. I used Hornady 270-gr. DGX. The zebra was a neck shot pass-through; bullet not recovered. DRT. Lion was a very close neck shot. The bullet expanded nicely and the lion expired nicely. It went exactly nowhere...

CAustin - hadn't thought about that, but I'll take $950 for just the rifle. Cashiers check, personal check, 5 gallon jar full of pennies and honey. Wellll, maybe not the last one. Shipping cost by ZIP. I'm at 33948. Rifle works just like Ruger meant it to. Hartman's zebra May, 2015

Ooops, the last line got cut off. Price - $1200 for everything.

Triggernometry, A Gallery of Gunfighters c. 1934 First Edition. Author: Eugene Cunningham; 441 pages. Published by The Press of the Pioneers. This book covers the gunfighters of the Old West. People like Bill Longley, John Wesley Hardin, John Ringo, Billy the Kid, and many others...

Jaco, the bull's teeth were worn down to the gums. The PH said it would starve soon. I used Hornady's 500-gr. load. One through the second vertebrae at 56 paces and DRT. May 18 I go for lion with the same S&W, but with 440-gr hard cast from Black River Ammo at...

Paul Yothers over at Black River Ammo loaded up some hot rod ammo for my S&W 500. Starline brass 685 grain LWFN ( no gas check) CCI LRM primer 26 grains of WC 820 MV 1000-1100 fps. That'll leave a mark. I'm shooting 440 HCWFGC in it now at 1550 fps and 2340 ft/lb I'm taking it to Africa in...

Did you get my PayPal? They said the money was sent.

I sent the money, but paypal has my address screwed up. (Old address, can't change) Hat's going to ZA May 20th

It's all gone.

I sold them when I moved to Florida.

Here's what can be done with a S&W 500.TSA gets a real kick out of looking for the serial number on the 500 (gotta open the cylinder). More paperwork to do that your PH can help with. You can hunt just about anything with a big handgun. Get to be real good and very comfortable with whatever...

I'm moving to Florida. Just sold my reloading gear, now I need to dispose of my African hunting videos. $125. I'm in Las Vegas. I've gor 19 DVDs and 10 VHS tapes. Some of the titles: DVD - Tanzania Adventures Mark Sullivan's Shot to Death Boddington on Elephant Robert C. Ruark's African...

I just realized this is a duplicate. Guess I need more sleep.

I've got a 40 inch Cape Buffalo mounted on a pedestal. I'm out of town right now, so I only have one photo on the computer. If you're interested, I can send photos of various angles and close-ups.

I had the 500 in Zimbabwe in 2006. Had no problem getting a permit, not bringing the revolver through customs. If things have changed, then I'll have to look elsewhere. Thanks anyway. Photo taken in South Africa.

It does 1550 fps with 2340 ft-lbs of ME. The 460 with bullets under 300 gr. makes a great 150 yard hunting weapon. I went with the 500 because I knew I was going to hunt Africa with it.

Paul Pluff at S&W (Director of Marketing) has a number of stories about the 500 and elephant hunting. I've talked to one hunter who took a non-trophy elephant in Zimbabwe. He used CorBon 440 gr. hardened lead bullets and the ele was DRT. Google "Elephant handgun hunting" for more...

Thanks all. I'll contact the outfitters and if I set up such a hunt, I'll let you know.

Matt - never thought about weight retention, so out came the 'ol RCBS. Right at 477 grains. Not bad! Then there was this bovine that got right in front of my Ruger #1 458 Lott … Here's the recovered solid. (The one on the left - I think.) Looks like it could be reloaded.

Here's a 500 gr Hornady after exiting my S&W 500 and entering a stink bull giraffe's neck. He dropped like his wires were cut. The load on the left is a 440 gr. hard lead that I'm hoping to use on a non-trophy elephant next year.

Do you offer non-trophy elephant hunts in a country where I can use my S&W 500 revolver? This would be in 2015.

I would like to go to Zim for a non-trophy elephant hunt. My primary hunting toy will be a Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum from their Performance Center. This limits which countries I could hunt. Who here has done this, or knows a good outfitter who can set up this type of hunt? I took a large...

I'm moving to a much smaller house, so I have to part with my Cape Buffalo mount. He's 40+ inches in the horns. I hunted him in Botswana a few years ago. The mount and stand are two piece and the head lifts off for transportation. I've got numerous photos of the actual hunt and I had a story...

I'm in Las Vegas. You'll have to do the heavy lifting with your wife as the elephant ear is rather large and probably would be a bitch to hide when on your wall.

I have a number of animal skins for sale. 1. Tsessebe rug 64x48 inches $325 2. Elephant ear skin 53x 36 inches $250 3. Elephant belly skin (partial) 57x30 inches $150 These animals were taken by myself and I have numerous photos of both animals which I can email you.

Sold!
