    Any love for the Jim Green barefoot African Ranger boots?

    Ordered my first pair of JG Rangers with the leather midsole. I have a normally wide foot 9E and hope the fit is good. I’m surfing the break-in tips so I can wear them this hunting season, Spring, if possible.

    Unusual Trophies

    M My wife liked an Africa shaped plague with this on a smaller scale. Very nice option to use leftover skins on.

    9.3x62 ammo choice

    Hunted KZN in April 2025 exclusively with my 9.3. Took a Nyala (high neck, DRT), Zebra (same, same) and a Cape Buff. The buffalo was in some thick stuff and after the bellow and walking up to him, he was where he was when he stood up. All 1 shot trophies. Loaded Barnes 286 TSX using IMR 4064...

    New 9.3X62 Load 232 Grain Woodleigh

    Looks like a good load. I don’t have any Varget. I have I4064 and A4064 that might work but nobody shows loads for 232 grain bullets, only 250 grain bullets in these powders. I see the manual shows a load for N140. I may try the A4064 (XMR 4064) and working up. I guess I could go the other...

    School me on .416 taylor

    How about tamping and spinning the case slowly after charging it with powder. I know the powder column will settle. How much compression then? What OAL are you trying to achieve that fits in the magazine and chambers?

    School me on .416 taylor

    Woodleigh Bullets offers a reloading manual covering the 416 Taylor. Unfortunately Raven Rocks Precision is out of them. If you do search on this site you will find load data. Hendershots offers loaded ammo as an option.

    2026 Texas Nilgai Hunt - Choosing a Rifle?

    I took a cow last January. I used a 300 WSM with a 180 grain Nosler Accubond. It was a backup as my -06 had an extractor issue before the trip. The bullet was a through and through that ruined both bacon slabs with bloodshot. Yes, the skin closed to absorb the wound. I had to use my...

    There was a Canadian looking for a line on 9.3x64 brass

    Interesting selection of rifle brass. Someone on here was looking for a source of 400 H&H. I did not realize there were that many WSM head stamped cartridges. 50-110, wish there was 45-120 brass.

    Ruger No 1 Stock Project

    I would like to do something similar with a TC Encore stock (after getting a 375 Flanged or 9.3x74R barrel built). I used the Encore in 300 WM on my first safari.
