Just 500!!!! You're only getting started. LOL

Welcome aboard Faidros. You mentioned that you just got two 375 H&H Magnum rifles. I too have a Winchester Mod 70 and a BRNO ZKK 602 in that caliber. Africa also offers a lot of smaller game that can be taken with a 6.5 X 55. One of my Swedish Mausers will be going to Africa this July. What...

gearguywb, did you by chance ever shoot at the National Pistol Match in Camp Perry Ohio? If so what year(s)? Most of us like "cool" guns as well. Rest assured, you are in good company.

TTundra, I'll take it. PM enroute

Welcome aboard, you are going to fit in here like a pair of old slippers. You can start by posting stories and photos of some of your previous hunts.

Welcome aboard Brandon. Please tell us a little more about yourself as a hunter. Things like what have you hunted in the past, what kinds and caliber rifles you own. Where abouts in Onterio do you live?

Welcome aboard Swamp Trooper. You did a great job on your 30-06. It will serve you well on any African PG hunt. Do you reload as well? Although I now prefer controlled round feed rifles, I can't say that I've ever had a Model 70 push feed that didn't shoot well. Keep your eyes open for a...

sgt_zim, an interesting thread to be sure. But now I've got some research to do. Nathan Foster (a long-range hunter from New Zealand) discusses this topic in one of his books. Instant kills are achieved by shots to nerve centers. One of them is near the heart. Now I've got to look it up so...

My Deerslayer has a wood stock.

MY prayers and well wishes for your surgery and recovery. I purchased a 404 J from you about 6 years ago, rest assured that it went to a good home.

Boyd Brooks, my Ruger Deerslayer (the 44 carbine) now wears a Red Dot for the same reason yours does.

Cash_tx, I still have my Ruger Deerslayer (it's not for sale.) Seems to me I remember Springfield 03(s) being sold for $19.95 plus $5.00 shipping and handling via REA Express. I had a large newspaper route at the time, and could have covered the cost with less than a week's pay. I distinctly...

Dr. Ray, the Superformance loads we've tried work on deer sized animals. Their bullet isn't the best

CBH Australia, perhaps I should have been a bit more specific. I was thinking about projectiles for the 375 H&H. Going a little further who is one of the very few providers of large caliber bullets i.e. those calibers that begin with a 4, 5, or 6? Apart from that, the Woodleigh bullets I...

CBH Australia, I agree with all of the reloaders comments. Re. the best projectile that might be up for grabs. But let me ask you a question, when is the last time you heard or read of a complaint with Woodleigh bullets? Work up a load for their Soft Nose and Hydrostatically Stabilized...
