I know....one day but better than nothing. 16 days to go before my wife and I head down to the eastern cape, figured I should hit the range and practice some. Here's my results with my 300 wsm shooting federal premium 180 grain Barnes TSX. I'm ready!

Good shooting. I'm guessing 100 yards range. Good luck on your hunt.
 
Yes sir. Thank you.
 
I'm going tomorrow to finalize my load. Either IMR 4350 or reloder 19, with the ttsx.

I didn't even realize federal made ammo with the tsx anymore? Didn't they discontinue a couple of years ago?

Your right my friend I just happen to still have several boxes.
 
Try it again when you see a monster kudu - let me know what to your pattern then! Good luck:)

Already took a nice kudu in Namibia last year. Trying to complete my spiral slam need a bushbuck and Nyala, and I won't pass a chance at a good waterbuck.
 
Best of luck!
 
1 day is better than thousands elsewhere!!!
 
I think that cuts meat.
 
That should do the trick.
 
best of hunting for that one day... as said previously, ONE day hunting is worth more than a 1000 ELSEWHERE!!! Hope you get your wish list... TALL order for a one day hunt... GO FOR IT!!!!

Your right Bruce, we'll give it hell.
 
Hunt hard , shoot straight, get every last second out of your one day! Good luck!
 
the holes were suppose to be in that little circle on the target. LOL Hope the bushbuck and nyala both come out to see you on that day.
 
Thanks guys!
 
Best of luck @johnnyblues maybe we'll cross paths on the Garden Route?
 
Thanks buddy that would be great. Enjoy and good luck!
 
cant ask for better than that.
 
I think you had an off day, why aren't all of the holes touching. I would have little confidence in that combo. (Sarcasm intended).

Great shooting and look forward to hearing the report!

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
