    Kruger National Park, South Africa, 40 years ago. After a thunderstorm a light rain was falling. Lying on the bed, suddenly, not far away - a lion. It was incredible.

    Best factory 30-06 ammo for plains game

    Nosler partitions 165 and 180 gr. I have done a lot of cullings in the 'old' Northern Transvaal, now Limpopo Province. The Nosler partitions in my .30-06 did a wonderful job.

    Hoedspruit hunt?
