I’m not trained in the matter, but I guess I’m shooting my double (very successfully) wrong, for years now. For me, my rear trigger LOP does not feel half as good, or normal, as my front trigger pull. Since, in theory, the first shot is calm, quiet, controlled- I’ve always shot the rear trigger...

Buff loops on this slide. Elephant loops for the real big bore slides. Good fun… sewing a touch like handloading- makes the journey a touch more memorable.

I sew my own- wax canvas and buffalo leather loops. Fun to have hunt memories with me on Safari!

Great bullet. I’ve used NF Cup as second shot to 286g Barnes X, on two buffalo, with the 9.3x62. One bull dead after first Barnes X, but put NF in as insurance. Second buff went into thick stuff where NF bullet was the finisher. I’ve had super results with the NF Cup in .375HH and .404J, as...

I just used a 400gr North Fork Cupped solid pushed through a in .404J AHR rifle on a cull hunt in Australia. Absolutely devastating Thor hammer results. I shot them side by side with same weight Barnes X bullets. Side shot through vitals- we all know how well Barnes X work!- this trip, same...

Big Country Safaris- Alex Jagers. Just got back from a red neck, old school, heck of a fun time w him and his team. Very detailed, gun permits a breeze… Double Rifle heaven. Perfect Africa tune up. The cull hunt is a bit more of a shoot, than a hunt, but imagine Africa in the early years of no...

I was going to go down the 9.3x64 route, but did not. I have some brass for sale, if needed.

Rifle sold. Good luck with search, and hunting.

Shy in saying this, but because of a motorcycle accident, and a busted right shoulder (that I won’t pin back together and try to fix), I have a plain jane beauty, .450 NE, Heym 88b, that I might not be needing anymore. She has a few buff and elephants to her name- and no bad habits. Not really...

EBaker, my plane lands in San Angelo tomorrow at 4pm…I’ll Take the three boxes for the ranch! If I miss you drop at Ranger Aviation! If not, no big- just taking you up on the Christmas offer!

RB, I have found Big Game powder, coupled with a drop tube, when reloading, to be a game changer with the 9.3x62 loads. I got very similar results! That cartridge is absolutely addicting in its versatility and lack of recoil. Happy for you!

Wanting to buy Talley Scope Rings for CZ 550, LOW or MEDIUM height, 1” Diameter. Talley only makes one height, now, for the CZ 550, which is tall. Looking to buy good shape, lower height rings.

Finishing a hunt in Zim, tomorrow.. all I’m telling you is what I experienced first hand. My bother and I used our 9.3x62 exclusively. I used 286g A Frames (hand loads hopped up pretty stiff w Big Game powder) and 320g Woodleigh solids, shooting same spot. I was almost all one shot kills on (2)...
