Hello Jorge, I am in Kamloops, BC Canada. Texas was always a favourite state to visit for my wife and I. What area are you from? Also what animals and areas in Africa are you thinking about? My specialty has become affordable cape buffalo hunting in South Africa. Brian

I see that I made a mistake, above. The bosses/owners name is Clay not Jay. Brian

Thanks for the "heads up" I will go there, Brian

From my limited experience I think that this is a perfect nose profile for terminal performance re, straight and deep penetration, with a big wound channel. I know that the the Taylor knock down formula is a long time industry standard for killing power. I have come to appreciate that the...

Man, I apologize, I was preaching to the choir. You are way ahead of me on bullets. Can I take most of what I said in my last post back? My bullets that I cast for that one hunt with my 577NE were 22 BHN and they worked ok but not perfectl on cape buffalo at terminal velocity of about 1,800...

Oh-0h! Now I have done it! I can see you moving through the cast bullet phase of your life some day like I did. I am not saying that you should pass through it, I just happening eventually for many DG bullet casters. Someday, if you haven't already, You may come across Michael McCourry's...

You are going to a have a wonderful time. In fact you already are! I was the same on my second cape buffalo hunt. I made my own cast bullets, 700 grain, 577 NE. Three cows, on shot each. Like you, I had a ball preparing for the hunt. My rifle was, no laughing please, a H&R 10 ga. with stub...

Jay is the boss/owner at Prophet River, but the staff are well trained and knowledgable. On something that is bit complicated like this I ask for Jay. If I am phoning about a tricky subject I might ask the lady who answers the phone, "who is there today that is the best at....". It usually goes...

That's obvious, genius. " I am Happy for you." is a small minded thing to say to a person who is just trying to help. I was trying to add a next step option, having done it several times. You are now on my ignore list.

" You doubt it very much" ? I just posted above that I export rifles from Canada to the USA through Border View. https://borderview.com Brian

They are a very good company. I have dealt with then for years. Exporting a firearm is a different subject. Ask them. When I export a rifle I use Border View, a customs agency.

Kindred spirits! I am booked for 10 Australia water buffalo in July of 2027 with A.J. Corbett, Australian Outback Buffalo Safaris. This will be my first time in Australia. A big thing about this hunt is the location in Arnhem Land in the "Top End" of Northern Territory, Australia. It is...

The 458 Lott is great choice. You have a good plan and a great attitude ! I like your way of taking older animals. The last year that i hunted plains game i asked the PH to just show me the old set animals in the herds. Man, I did some walking on that hunt. Those old animals are smart! There...

Thanks Cris for your kind words and the good question. Oh yes, I still do get that "flicker" of fear, but to a lesser degree and in a strange way I welcome it. The subject of managing fear intrigues me. With a cape buffalo I usually go right through fear and out the other side into something...

Yes, That is what I should have done. I didn't have to hunt any PG but that is all that I hunted for the first 3 safaris. I should have saved that money for cape buffalo. You can usually take game drives and walks for free and take close photos of the herds and birds in the bush and hunt buffalo...
