Just returned from a success buffalo and plains game hunt with RW Safaris of RSA , Limpopo province. Rick and Klarissa really outdid themselves. They are a Craig Boddington endorsed outfitter and I can also heartily endorse them. My wife and friends had a wonderful time.

Leaving tomorrow morning for RSA for a management bull and cow buffalo. My wife and I and two friends from Minnesota who have never been before. Hunting with RW Safaris out of Limpopo. Should be a good time!! Se ya all!

I think all conversation with Country folk should cease. He doesn’t seem to appreciate the advice he gets.

What is the difference between the SPCE bullet and the soft point?

He among us who has never made a bad shot or two or three or four, please step to the front of the line and receive your accolades. In my own case, just this last April, I shot three times at standing hogs, in Texas, out of a blind and missed all three! 358 Win. , cast bullets, Model7. ( one...

If going to Idaho, where I’ve lived for the past 40 years, I cannot recommend hunting deer or elk with Boulder Creek Outfitters. If you would like particulars private mail me.

Many years ago (like 50 years) I had a box of bullets from a reliable manufacturer that was clearly labeled 7mm and .284 diameter. I loaded them for a friends 7mm Remington Mag and after the first shot, the bolt needed to be pounded open with a 2x4. It was stuck tight! I was confident in the...

I have heard rumors about unrest in South Africa. The rumors revolve around RSA taking land from the current owners. Since I am planning on hunting dg there in July, this is of intense interest to me. Does anyone know what, if anything, is going on? Thanks Rolly

Not my idea of an African rifle. ymmv. Why the pic rail? Why a stock that seems to be built for long range targets? Why such a long barrel? Many questions here ?

I use S&B 7x57 brass for my Ruger 275 Rigby. The factory rounds in 140 gr shoot quite well. The brass however is a bit out of spec. The head, for example won’t fit in RCBS shell holder. Plus the brass case head is a bit thinner than REM. Or Win. Brass. When I re-prime using my Lee priming...

Welcome from Idaho. This is a very good site that you will enjoy. I review the comments, reviews and classifieds almost daily.

I haven’t checked lately but Huntington Die Specialties in California used to carry brass for 275 Rigby. Might give them a check.

Whoops. You’re correct. I forgot about that!
