Thanks, but I don’t see an IMR 4064 load… just an H4895 that is circled. Am I missing something? I thought I saw a prior post where someone was getting 2750 fps with an N540 74 grain load, which sounded like something to try to work up to

Thank you SOOOO much. I love this forum!! I had heard that the max load of N540 was 75 grains... but that seemed awfully hot. I guess I'll have to go load some up.

Working up new loads for a 300 Win Mag with 180 Barnes TTSX and 200 Nosler Accubond, as well as a .375 H&H with 300 TSX. Loaded up a few different "ladder test" loads, as well as a few "fine tuning" loads to verify some prior ladder tests. Working up loads at 70-80 grains/cartridge and 200-300...

Does anyone happen to have a copy of Barnes Reloading Manual Number 4 that you would be willing to either sell, or alternatively, share with me Barnes' reloading date for .375 H&H with 300 gr TSX, which I understand includes load data for N540 powder which is NOT included in the Barnes current...

I'm seeing a lot of recommendations for the TSX 300 gr. When I was looking for recommendations for a 30 cal bullet, the general consensus was that the TSX was far inferior to the TTSX (at least for African plains game). Is there not a similar view regarding the .375 300 grain bullets? I.e...

Thanks….appreciate the response. I just got back from my first safari, and used the Outfitter’s gun (not JPH), and was a little disappointed. My “choice” was .308 or 416. I didn’t want to use an elephant gun on plains game, but felt a little undergunnned for a large waterbuck and Kudu...

Is anyone familiar with Joubert Prohunt? They come highly recommended from a "friend of a friend," but I'd like a few more testimonials. Also, they apparently have two concessions, "Vaalwater" (about 2.5 hours north of Joberg, and the "River Lodge" on the Limpopo River, bordering Zimbabwe...

Hunting primarily plains game. I took a mid size Kudu last safari, so Sable, Eland, bushbuck, white and saddleback Impala are my primary targets, but if I see a 55"+ Kudu, I'll probably take a second one, and not mount the first (47")

I just returned from my first safari, and am already planning for next year. We hunted Limpopo, and will probably go back to the same general region. Our hunt was in early April, and it was still pretty warm. Highs most days in the upper 80s to low 90s. So I'm thinking about maybe going...

Yes, I’ve now run the calculations against several other outfitters’ trophy fee plus daily fee schedules, and virtually all of them have come out within a thousand dollars or so, some more, some less. Essentially, since both my wife and I were “hunters” our outfitter had to make up about 5k in...
