I think in handguns it would be my Uberti 1871 Open Top in 45LC. For rifles, it would have to be my Mauser 375 Rimless Express (9.5X57).

First thing I’d suggest, given that you have some time, is search your father’s records - if there are any - and see if he has any notes, auction descriptions, or even receipts for any of his guns. It’s helpful to get an idea of when and from where he bought them. Not necessarily for...

Whoever extracted those teeth really knew what they were doing! The girth is impressive! I bet the nerve went almost to the lip line but the sheer heft of the tusks still making close to 90lb! I think really thick tusks are more impressive than long tusks weight for weight. Congratulations...

A quick measure of the bolt face will be a good indicator as well if your smith isn’t set up for a chamber cast. The 9.3X62 is way better in a bolt action than the 9.3X74R so count yourself lucky if that is the case. (Nice pun, eh!?)

I wouldn’t think this a 9.3X74R Have your smith do a chamber case while it’s there. Not impossible but just not very likely.

Sorry, meant JS .323” bullet diameter.

No, I’m not a PH. I will ask, though, would ANY PH here advise a side on brain shot through the horn with the modern wonder bullets? I think we all know the answer to that question.

On a perfect broadside shot, the Cape Buffalo with good horns seems to be designed to make this shot dubious at best. In the video above, I really was expecting the hunter to park one on the bridge of his nose, not off center in the brisket.

I think I saw that it was starting up again. Hope so! Very true. I had a Holland & Holland exactly like this Rigby but had been bored out to 410 and the barrel turned round from the end of the forend. As ghastly as that sounds, (and it is as a requirement of the government), it was also very...

The brass that goes with the rifle is: Bertram - 20 + 10 primed HH - 10 loaded with my swaged 354gr bullets over 50grs H4198 with a filler - est. velocity of 1800fps with that load which I loaded primarily as a test load for these bullets.
