    Ugly question: 9.3x62 vs .338WM

    My wife shoots Oryx with her 300H&H Magnum. It is an awesome round. Never failed her yet. She shoots 1/2MOA at 100m pushed at 2750 (if memory serves me right).

    Peregrine VRG3 Bushmaster - RSA Manufactured Bullet

    Just a follow up on my earlier post. As per Peregrine (as said, always very helpful), seeing that the bullets aren't brass it should be no problem sending it. As long it is person-to-person. I cannot send it to a dealer for instance. Then you require import permits etc. The guy I have spoken to...

    Torn between two calibers

    In SA, people love their 375H&Hs. So, chances are, ammo availability is much better.

    Free Hunt for One Hunter & One Observer from Lianga Safaris for 2016

    When a soldier came to the 
clinic where I work for an MRI, he was put into the machine by an 
attractive, young technician. Sometime later, when the examination 
was over, he was helped out of the machine by a far older woman. The soldier remarked, “How long was 
I in there for?”

    1st time hunter needs help...

    This might be a bit late, but if you are playing in the R10-20k range for a rifle, do not overlook the Howa brand.

    Torn between two calibers

    What will you be aiming at? If DG is excluded, I would look at the 300H&H Magnum or 338 Win Magnum. If recoil is not your thing, get the 300H&H. My wife has one and she has taken just about anything below the DG category with it; Kudu, Oryx, Impala, Warthog, BWB, all with single shot kills...

    Peregrine VRG3 Bushmaster - RSA Manufactured Bullet

    Hi Matt, As you are interested, I shall start doing some research for the SA side of things. I might need some help on the US side of things. Not sure where to gather information on when the stock arrives at the US. I have mailed some people and waiting for feedback. Regards,

    Peregrine VRG3 Bushmaster - RSA Manufactured Bullet

    Not sure about exporting this, but if anyone is interested, I can do some research. The guys at peregrine are usually very helpful. Maybe after proper research on the restrictions for exporting these bullets, we can make up a combined order. Should be much easier exporting bullets as opposed to...

    Yes, we mostly eat what we hunt, so I don't really have trophy photos. But I am very proud of my Eland this year. He was big! Close to 850kgs on the hoof. Shot at 130m, Barnes 225gr TTSX, 338WM. Photo was snapped while waiting for the breakdown to load it. He was quartering away, so it looks...

    So Johnny arrives late at school one morning. His teacher asks: "Why are you so late?" Johnny replied, "Miss, its like this. My dad likes to sleep in the nude. So last night there was a commotion at the chicken coup. My dad grabbed his shotgun and his gown and out the door he went. He started...

    Hi, I'm from Johannesburg, South Africa. I just love hunting with my 338Win Mag. Have been on the site for a long time, but finally decided to register. There is really good info on here, so keep it coming!

    Ugly question: 9.3x62 vs .338WM

    I'm a bit of a .338Win Mag fan. Very nice calibre for those long range shots, but works well for me at short range with minimal meat damage. Animals harvested at short range (under 300m) includes Impala at 40m, Zebra at 80m all the way up to Eland at 230m successfully. Barnes 225gr TTSX at...

    Free Hunt for One Hunter & One Observer from Lianga Safaris for 2016

    This is my proud hubby funny story: My dad decided to get rid of the old .303 British. Seeing that my wife and I are both hunters, he offered me the weapon first before offering it to my brother. Knowing the weapon was stored for quite some time, without cleaning (probably in excess of 15...
