Thank you - I will send them an email now.

Good Afternoon all, I recently acquired a second hand Mauser M12 Extreme chambered in 9.3x62 that I am quickly growing fond of. It shoots RWS factory ammo well (~0.85MOA) at 100m off sticks and I am planning on working up a 250gr TSX load for use on large deer and Plains Game. (In Scotland, the...

As a young (ish!) hunter that is younger still than the Gen X camp I’ll be honest, I found this a difficult read. Labelling a generation as “sissified” based on not liking the outcome of a YouTube video you watched this afternoon is, to be polite, quite a leap. To be direct, it is a complete...

@Clodo Ferreira were you satisfied with the terminal performance of the bullet? I am curious how it stood up to the Barnes and Hornady offerings in your picture above. I ask because I am in the process of acquiring a 9.3x62 and fancy this bullet as a bit of a do-it-all for Red Deer at home and...

I know someone has already mentioned “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” by E Hemingway which is an excellent story, but I can also highly commend his “Green Hills of Africa” - an account of Hemingway’s own safari, published in 1935. I daren’t claim that it is truly evocative of the...

Thank you, @RLD, that’s kind. And I shall add that to the list! Doesn’t seem to be in print in the UK but I am sure that I can track down a copy. I can see it is available as an eBook but it feels like a sin not to buy a proper physical copy of a book like this.

Thank you, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. It’s definitely something for me to weigh up in my mind; experience vs end result, or, trophy in this case. Your description of hunting the Zambezi valley does hit all the marks I am looking for… Not sure what happened to the post that was in...

That was a great read, thank you for sharing.

Thank you - appreciate the encouragement!

Thanks @RLD - I am trying to track down a (non pocket book version) of the perfect shot. I will try and find some of his podcast discussions, sound like the perfect accompaniment to the daily commute!
