I will never wear short pants out in the bush. Non-African men must have thinner skin that a PH. One day in short pants can make your legs look they have been in a cat fight.

Something to think about: On my first morning of my first Africa hunt, I wore a new synthetic fishing shirt. We went back to camp after shooting a couple of gemsbuck and I realized that I had numerous runs in my shirt from contact with thorns, which are everywhere in the African bush. Since...

I know this is not what a perfectionist reloader would do, I look it up in my manuals, which differ some. 73gr. of IMR 4350 is supposed to have 2367mv. 75 gr 2452.

Thank you. I get it. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. So far, I have been using IMR4350 for 300 grain Noslers, backing it off a little to 73gr. My PH this year said he disagrees with that and that I should load it heavier. So, have loaded some at 74gr and 75gr to see how they shoot

luvthunt, I have seen the Re15 indifferent manuals. Would you share the amount of grains that you use?

Tex .416, I did look that up. Nosler doesn't have data for 4895 powders for the 260gr and nothing on the 270 gr.

I have a number of 260 and 270 gr. Nosler bullets for my 375 H&H. I have some IMR 4895 and some H4895 and some IMR 4350 powders. Would you guys care to share your favorite loads, using these components? My intention is to end up with a load for plains game.

DWB Please tell me where I can buy one of those African carved plagues. I am not going to SA again until next year. But when I do, I am taking my 375 H&H to shoot another buffalo and whatever plains game I choose to take. On my last trip in April, my 375 killed two wildebeest, a sable, a...

What a thread this has turned out to be. It has really stirred the pot. My guess is that there are more owners of 375 H&H than all other big calibers, combined. To state that the 375 should not be used for cape buffalo would be like walking into a back country saloon and yelling out, "who...

I'm curious. My 375 has killed two buffalo and five plains game, all with one shot kills, using a 300 gr Nosler Partition. What's wrong with this bullet that it doesn't have a big following?

This has been a very interesting read. It's kind of a Chevy vs Ford kind of discussion. For me, the five hunts I have been on cost about what one "deluxe" hunt would cost. I got to hunt numerous trophy animals, including two buffalos. I got to share four of the hunts individually with my...

Congratulations Volodia. We are a little jealous of you, but wish you the very best hunt ever. I will look forward to hearing how the hunt went.

Another vote for Renette Bronner. My wife and I stayed there after our Namibia hunt. Great room, great breakfast, and now great friends.

I really enjoy reading all of these posts. I just returned from S. Africa and my fifth African hunt. So, though my experience is less than a lot of you, I feel like I want to throw my two bits in. On this trip my 375 H&H accounted for six animals. All one shot kills with 300 gr Nosler...
