I loaded a bunch of 220 grainers and even some 250 grainers last fall. Targets look good, but have not checked the velocity yet.........you will have fun with this old cartridge............FWB

According to Meta, "Zambia receives approximately $600 million annually from the US"......so there will be plenty more new millionaires after the "cut"...........FWB

gereed vir die jag met HTK Safaris

@fsrmg1 has a great idea with the Savage 99. It fit in a saddle scabbard for elk hunting, used spitzer bullets, could be taken apart and put in a back pack, had a cocking indicator and a round counter, and was a lever action, but took nicely to a scope as it didn't eject straight up like the...

ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

No specific answer to your question, but I am considering using my 416 Rigby for a one gun safari. I am working up a load for 300 grain spitzers that should make a good plains game load to 200 yards or so. I must be pretty recoil sensitive because my 400 grainers at 2450 are intolerable, and I...

@BFaucett That is awesome.............am a big fan of Martin and Osa. Have a pic of gramma holding a baby with their plane (one of them) in the back ground. Read their book (hers)....and have always been impressed by where they landed at their paradise near Mt. Nyiro. I believe she also used a...

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

In 2012 two women from Yorkshire, England did a camper van holiday in New Zealand. Yvonne Gray and her wife Sharon wanted to open a restaurant. Instead, they fell in love with New Zealand (NZ) and said the only reasonable thing to do was "to join the Navy". They did. Fast forward 10 years and...

Taylor Sheridan made a fortune by writing this series.....and while it is entertaining to watch, a little veracity would be welcome. A 416 Rigby would do fine in a double (even though most doubles were rimmed cartridges). Every person met was an evil SH, (makes for fun vid)........but how do you...

Most of the cartridges list above have a near duplicate available now. 12 bore SSG and LG over the counter here, 350 Rigby Mag and 35 Whelen ballistic duplicates. Etc, etc.............375 Win died too early though.............FWB

I have seen the 22-250 used on pronghorn antelope with good success...mostly. There are a lot of 22's out there better than the 22-250 simply because most of those still running around have 1;14 twists and will only stabilize bullets of marginal size. I used the old 63 grain Sierra semi-spitzer...

Here's a fun one, and a little change of topic. The New York Times, Mar 16, 2025 "We were badly misled about the event that changed our lives". In the article, the NYT admits that Covid came from the Wuhan Lab (duh) but alleges that they were misled... victims of misinformation. Wrong. They were...

Very nice offer with a nice video. A lot of waterbuck in the vid...........assume that eland is a Livingstone? (but I saw no stripes) Good opportunities for an eland as well? Thanks for the offer.................FWB

If your cartridges are lost in transit, you can always run down to Maputo or polokowane and pick up a couple of boxes of 28 Noslers.........NOT. But they did have 06, 308 and even 375 in stock. Good hunting............fwb
