thank you for your reply. it was never intended to be taken to Africa, its just interesting to know a custom built heavy barrel 20 gauge rifled shotgun based on an over 120 year old bolt action can be made to produce such ballistics. Not bad for a 20 gauge. thank you again.

this is just a question. im not trolling,im not planning on using this in Africa, i just want to hear from experts. a double rifle expert told me in the pre nitro days a hardened 8 bore ball at 1500 fps was deadly to an elephants head with a frontal brain shot.. On that statement, i ask my...

if youre tossing it out,toss it this way, id like one!!

theres a lot of good people here and no shortage of hunting outfits or experienced people to ask questions of. Ive learned a lot. just ask questions you want to know, listen to the good people,disregard the unhelpful

exactly! thanks for the welcome

im in the preliminary stages of planning to hunt Africa, and i will contact you about your hunting. im just now figuring out the equipment needed,etc i appreciate it

yes and you know youre stuff and i appreciate your advice

Hey Bobpuckett ,i really appreciate your responses buddy. For me going to Africa is a thing i will probably only do once and i am trying to learn as much as i can about it now. I dont know if i will go with blk powder, but it is an option to me. I am having a custom .72 built. Those are great...

Hi, im fairly new here.Im here to ask questions to learn about African hunting. Im contemplating going myself, so naturally im here to talk to people that have done it. I hunt alot in USA. I have not filled in my profile because you never know who you are talking to on the internet and i...

Ok, i didnt know,i was just telling you what i was after. Most people on here are after information and opinions,and i get a lot of that here,its cool. I'm in agreement with you about overkill. I know people in USA sometimes tend to think they need more gun than they really do.It sells rifles...

He listed a load because the muzzleloader is custom and can also shoot 500 or so grain balls,as it turns out with more energy@ 2000fps. But the muzzleloader in question will not push a 900 grain bullet to 1950fps that you mentioned.Its only black powder. If im having stuff built,i want as...

Do AH members need you to speak for them?Youre a big man with a mighty smart mouth hiding behind a computer screen in New Mexico.Yousound like a liberal,trying to shout down someone else. Your mouth is all you have. You should talk to people the way you want to be talked to. You sound like a...

a lighter patched ball @2000 does have more energy

i understand that, i kinda want to kill it all the way,especially for the money it costs just to see it. I see people on youtube"bowhunting" arrow one then it gets a shot from a big double before it even knows its hit by an arrow....thats not bowhunting in the truest Fred Bear sense of the word...

Ah! the Zulu gunbearers, Nkosi!!
