    Name for a new wildcat cartridge

    Sounds like a lot of work to just basically reinvent the .375 Weatherby Magnum. How much real difference on game would there be between a ".366 Weatherby Magnum" and the .375 Weatherby Magnum? Cheers! Bob F.

    If the 9.3x62 became the new legal minimum?

    250 gr at 2,651 fps = 3,900 ft/lbs 286 gr at 2,495 fps = 3,952 ft/lbs Cheers! Bob F. :)

    Africa's Most Dangerous Game...

    Man, I know I was lucky! I'd heard that they kill almost as many people per year as hippos do. :LOL: Cheers! Bob F.

    Africa's Most Dangerous Game...

    Africa's Most Dangerous Game: the Guinea Fowl The look on my PH’s face told me this wasn’t going to be pleasant. We’d flushed a flock of Guinea Fowl and the one that we were after had headed for thick cover. We were going to have to go in and pull him out by the beak. “Well, I guess we’ve...

    When is Winchester planning on doing another run of safari rifles?

    Please don't tell that to my Winchester Model 1895 in .405 Winchester (made by Miroku in Japan). You'd probably hurt its feelings. :D Cheers! Bob F. :)

    Custom Built 375 Rifle

    Rburns28, I think Certus was asking which .375 cartridge did you chamber the rifle for. Cheers! Bob F.

    Scope bases and rings for Mark V 460?

    I don't think you can attach a video to a post like you can an image file. You'll probably need to upload your video to one of the sites that the forum software supports and then embed / insert the video here. From the forum software's Help section: see...

    338 Win Mag for plains game

    A large part of the Limpopo Province is bushveld country. In my admittedly limited experience, shooting distances will be relatively close. I've been three times, to the same place, and my longest shot was about 150 yards (estimated; stepped off). On my first trip, my friend Kate made good use...

    35 Whelen or 300 Win??

    IMO, it's not anymore difficult or inconvenient to take two rifles as compared to one. I took two rifles (in one case) on my third and last trip to South Africa back in 2005. (Plains game only.) If taking two rifles, then take one rifle chambered for a commonly available cartridge and use it in...
