@Ryan is a great guy! Just joined the site myself and was willing to help me out!

That’s what I was thinking 30-40 rounds per rifle I know it will be more than enough!

Now just to find the 30-06 I want. I believe I want to match my Ruger M77 Hawkeye but in 30-06 and I want wood over my synthetic.

I enjoy reading of people’s experience with not only the rifle but in Africa. I have taken hundreds of white tails and wild hogs with this rifle and I am ver comfortable with it. It was once an extension of my hands. I will be choosing a fully bonded bullet. May even choose a different caliber...

That’s a beautiful rifle!

I’ve shot 7-800 rounds thru it at this point and I can stack 3 in a quarter at 125 yards

Jim, I also just “won” a trip JUST LIKE THIS for the same outfitter and I got one animal or 1000$ towards animals per hunter and can take up to 6 people. What have you learned? Are you still doing this hunt or did something throw you off. I paid 300 bucks for mine! 10 day hunt as well

https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1010556770?pid=430015 They have them in stock!

as i found some factory loaded A frames for 80$ a box 7mm08 but I do love hand loading

I’m going to try Barnes TTSX and the maker Accubond!

I’ll find out more info on dates. It may be a while before we do this hunt as the hunt includes a group of up to 6

I will say the one time I used this bullet on anything of very large size was a 1700lb charlaite bull that broke 2 legs. I shot it in the head at 50 yards and it was the worst shooting decision I ever made. It took 3 more to finish the job.

I’d love to chat with a trusted member and buy 5-8 of a few options to try out.

Ive never been to Africa, frankly I’ve never hunted out of the south in US. But I’ll be curious to see how some of these bullets shoot out of my rifle and how much adjustment there will be. I’d hate to commit to buying a box of 50 just to not like the way they shoot
