    African Battery

    Great battery, almost identical to mine: a .30-06 and a .458 Lott. In my .30-06 I'm running either the 168gr Federal Trophy Bonded Tip or the 180gr Barnes TTSX. Both have performed very well, but if I were heading to Africa I'd be loading the 180gr Barnes. It's a tough, reliable bullet that...

    Best factory 30-06 ammo for plains game

    My Highland Stalker in 30-06 love the Barnes ammo with 180g TTSX. Shoots under an inch at 100m. I have taken everything from deer, donkeys, wild dogs to a scrub bull with this load and it worked perfectly. Barnes also loads a bit hotter so it shoots as flat as the Federal 165g tipped trophy...

    A Sad Story About An Old Buffalo

    Great story. I’m looking forward to seeing photos of the old bull. With how much goes into the dugga boy award it needs a hard copy book. I pick up my copy most times I’m in my buffalo room

    Bringing spent cartridges on plane in checked bag

    You’ll get away with it sometimes but not worth the hassle when you don’t. I’ve been pulled off flights twice. One time heading home from Joburg and the case had been in my bino harness for the last 4 international flights since I left Aus!

    Actual calibers used for Buffalo by AH members

    458 Lott does the job. I want to move to a 500 double though just for fun

    Buffalo rifle show and tell

    No sling so barrel band doesn’t matter. I ran a 1-5x scope on my first hunt. When I got home immediately replaced it with a red dot. I don’t see the point in shooting a buffalo outside 50m and a red dot it the best thing for close range

    Show me your Buffalo pedestals!

    After 2 years my Cape buffalo dip and pack has arrived in Australia! Now I need to decide on a pedestal for it. Google search was surprisingly uninspiring so looking for some ideas. Please show me what you did with your Cape Buffalo

    SOUTH AFRICA: KMG Safaris May 2025

    @Tim Blackwell Nice work mate. Sounds like a great hunt. Unusual to have black and blue wildebeest together. Did you see any hybrids?

    REPORT: Has Anyone Used Splitting Image Taxidermy?

    Still waiting on my Buff from July ‘23. Dip and pack and a skull pedestal mount. I hope the work is exceptional
