    Have you bought from them? I've never heard of them. I've got an 8lber so I don't need that one but might snag a couple other powders they have.

    Leopard Setup

    On my Leopard hunt in Zim last year (unsuccessful due to dry late season) I took a Pre-64 M70 Super Grade in .375 H&H. This rifle is topped with a Leupold VX5HD 3-15x44, and I was planning to use 270gr Core-Lokts. The Core-Lokts shoot about a 1/2" higher at 100yds vs the 300gr TBBC or A-Frames...

    Scope Setting for Cape Buffalo?

    The 375 I normally hunt with is set-up with a 3-15x44. It’s always on 3x and I’ve killed multiple buffalo with it. Under 10 yards I don’t really aim so much as point. I’m also not shooting a buffalo at distance unless it’s wounded. The fun in buffalo hunting is getting close

    Any gin drinkers here?

    For those that love gin and Africa … I’d recommend reading the book “Three Sips of Gin”. I love a good gin and tonic. Personally I prefer a Lemon over a a Lime in mine.

    Arizona will stop auctioning big game tags
