    Spoke with Bill at Swift Bullets yesterday

    That’s not what that means. Unemployment is the number of people who are unemployed and looking for work. It does not account for the millions who have no interest in working.

    Raven Rocks Huge Thank You!

    I’ve ordered two or three times now. Great prices. Excellent service. I also like that they are actively trying to service our very niche market. I’ll be a regular for the foreseeable future.

    Client killed Kafue National Park, Zambia

    Internet is filled with reckless photo safari videos messing with elephants. I'm honestly surprised it doesn't happen more often. That seemed avoidable.

    Would a 450 grain .458 Win Mag be a perfectly acceptable standard for elephant?

    450 grains @ 2300 fps would be great for elephant. I’m a fan of the .416s shooting a 400 gr bullet about that speed. As to whether that can be accomplished though reloading, I wouldn’t have any idea.

    Bringing rifle w/o assistance

    I’ve done it before and it turned out just fine, but having someone there who knows how to get things done can be very valuable. It’s really not the place to save a dollar.

    Leopard Setup

    I would look for something between .243 and .500 nitro that you shoot well with soft bullet. Seriously, it doesn’t take much to kill a leopard. Shot placement is everything. .375 is ideal. A .300 mag also works where legal. I think this is really a job for a bolt gun. Any good scope...

    Hunt over water; Shoot from truck

    Shooting from the truck is just that, shooting. It’s not nearly as rewarding as a proper stalk. Getting out of the truck and walking a few yards to shoot isn’t much better. Riding around shooting things from the truck doesn’t make for an enjoyable safari. I did do a drive by on a...

    Rifle for daughter

    Limiting to CRF really hurts your options. There are plenty of very reliable push feed rifles. I'm a big fan of the stuff Bergara has been putting out. It's discontinued, but the Premier Highlander, is an exceptional value in my opinion. You may still be able to find one in stock.

    Cape buffalo hunt coming..what bullets to choose..?

    I still like the old soft solid combo. On my last hunt we were hunting dagga boys in really think stuff. My ph had me load all solids. If you are somewhere with elephants you need to have some solids with you. Also, solids are good if you want to shoot something smaller. I never leave...

    DSC 2025 in Atlanta....are you going?

    It is a poor name for an organization that wants to be an international organization. They kind of outgrew their name. I think they have done some great work for wildlife. I need to join.

    Travel duffle bags

    Another vote for the pelican air. I switched last summer. My only complaint is that you never know if it’s going to come out with the regular bags or the cases.

    Age of first African hunting trip

    12. Plains game in Limpopo. Next year I hunted two buffalo in Zambia. I was hooked before I ever went.

    Alec Baldwin Movie Set Accident

    Sounds like a good verdict. I hope they get Baldwin too. He pressed on despite serious red flags and warnings about the safety issues. Whether he pulled the trigger(which he did) is completely irrelevant.
