I used Trophex once. They were very bad in every way. I have now used Bullseye for years and they are excellent in every way. True artists, excellent work and service including shipping. Brian Gallup

I use CEB Solids on cape buffalo and they work perfectly as advertised. Generally my velocities in .500 cal are lower that what Michael likes to use and the result is the same, excellent. Not to change the topic but I want to mention that I have also used the CEB Talon on three cape buffalo...

Google North Fork Bullets. They are getting back into production. Good news.

Yes, I have emailed Pieter. There is something strange about this negative post. Sounds personal.

My experience with Pieter Kriel, Mkulu Hunting Safaris is nothing but positive. I have booked another buffalo hunt with him this year. My wife and I have hunted with Pieter Kriel at Mkulu Hunting Safaris in 2018. It was a great hunt and I found Pieter Kriel to be among the best PH's I have...

This post has been moderated by @AfricaHunting.com. Hi Dan, XXXXXXXX of TWS is just an asshole and does not deserve anymore explanation from me. I have made my points quite clear to him, several times, privately and publicly. I will continue to bad mouth him every chance I get. He...

I have posted numerous articles and stories on these pages praising outfitters that I have used. My stories that I post here like 'Never Mind The Bull' and "did you Hear the Oxpecker" which praise the outfitter are published in The African Hunting Gazette as well. One of the big problems with...

A good photo of the recovered CEB Raptor bullet.

Here is a photo of the famous South African Peregrine bullet.

Thanks, Jeromy.

A good photo of the recovered CEB Raptor bullet.

Witold, Thanks, Brian The blades of the Raptors went deep into the vital organs in a 6-9 inch pattern. The really do a slice & dice job there. The main core of the bullet goes deeper. Sometime right through, I'm told, but not in my limited experience. The Peregrine Bushmaster is an awesome...

My wife and I did this Desert Express trip after a hunt one year. It was great. Brian

Toby458, That is exactly what I am learning in my old age. Thanks for your response. Brian

Jerome graciously sorted out the photos for us. Brian

Thanks for your question. This report will later appear in an African publication complete with photos. Meanwhile, please google B&M Rifles and Cartridges for lots of photos of the Cutting Edge bullets. Also, Peregrine Bullets has photos of their bullets on their site. Brian PS. I should add...

Get Close and Use a Good Bullet! By Brian Gallup I recently tested the Peregrine Monolithic’s Bushmaster bullet in .577NE, and Cutting Edge Bullet’s Raptor in .50-110 Winchester on four Cape buffalo. I’ve got some good news, but first a little background on the bullets. Both of these bullets...

This post has been moderated by @AfricaHunting.com. Warning. I suggest that you do not hunt with TWS. Their lodge is located a stones throw from the local pub in a village called Kirkwood , I think. You will spend a lot of time sitting in a truck going up and down the highway looking for a...

Your rifle/bullets will kill Cape buffalo very well. I have recently killed three cape buffalo in a row, DRT, with 50-110, at 1940 fps.

like some of you, I like hunting cows. ( It's the cranky and clever one standing beside the bull.) And I only take out old, worn out animals. I killed two bulls a few years ago, and then switched to cows. More bang for the buck and often more challanging. I am not a trophy kind of guy. I have...

Well done! Wonderful animals. Good story, well told. Your photography is awesome. I liked the picture of the meals on the table too. Thats for posting. Brian

I used the CEB Raptor .500 calibre 410 grain on three cape buffalo last year. All middle of the shoulder shots ( not in the heart) at 40 yds. and all dead right there. The muzzle velocity from my old single shot was just 1920 fps. That CEB Raptor in 500. cal. is amazing. Brian

I have a new buffalo hunting story, coming out in the African Hunting Gazette in the April, May, June issue. It's called "Did You Hear The Ox Pecker". In that story I used an .577 NE Peregrine Bush Buster bullet in 700 grains. The buffalo reacted like it was electrocuted! Awesome bullet. I...

I had a great time with Pieter Kriel. He is very good to hunt with. Professional and fun. He is well organized, knows the bush and has good staff and equipment. We hunted 4 cape buffalo. All one shot kills at 30-50 yds. I will book again for 2020. I have hunted in Africa 9 different times...

Congrats on a great old bull.

BeeMaa, I am in the same boat. I have to go to Gun Buyers Meetings! I want a O/U with two barrel sets. 375 Winchester and 50-110. Then I will quit! Brian

Dirthawker, Good shot on the wildebeest! Brian

dirt hawker, I sure enjoyed your report. Thanks! Good story. Good old broken horn bull! Also, you used good NF bullets! And that Zoli rifle is awesome. I would like to get one if the price is right. Your flight over there was a bit longer than mine from Kamloops BC Canada. Cheers, Brian

My 9 year old Grandson also hunted in Africa this year, for his first time. Got a blesbok and a blu wildebeest. Not awesome trophies like yours but a great experience. We hope to do it chin in two years. I don't think many youngster your age have had the priveledge. Congrats, again. Brian

Good job! Lovely trophy. Brian

Papabear55, PS. "Lack of funds.." I hear you. When I was your age I couldn't even afford to pay attention!

Papabear55, There are a couple of posts on the 585HE from a bright guy on the Accurate Reloading forum, in the Big Bore section. The post there from "grampahubel" is from Ed Hubel, as you may know. Have you had chance to talk to him about the cartridge? It sounds like a great choice. I have...

tarbe, Oops. I just realized that I mixes you up with Pappabear55. Some of my last post will not be relevant to you. Sorry. I better find my glasses. Brian

Howdy, I mixed it up myself. After heat treating ( Kitchen oven to cold water.) it tested with the cheap, aggravating Lee tester at 22 BHN. I knew nothing about casting bullets and went through a near vertical learning curve in 2017. I got all my help off of the site Cast Boollits. There some...

Thanks Tim. Brian

The story will be in the African Hunting Gazette in 2019 and I will post it here. ( Actually there will be two stories. one on the hunt and one on the bullets terminal performance.) There will be a video on YouTube in month.

Pieter is an excellent PH and hunting partner. Lots of fun, very knowledgeable, well organized and has good Vehicles/equipment. This was one of my best and most enjoyable hunts in South Africa. I have hunted in South Africa seven times and killed 9 Cape buffalo. I highly recommend Pieter...

I have killed 4 cape buffalo with my single shot break open .577NE with a 26.5 " barrel. Weight is 12 lbs with no scope. My favourite loads which I used this year in Africa on two cape buffalo are, 700 gr. Peregrine Bush Master bullet over 114 grains of N550 for 1700 fps. I have a video clip...

Yes, I sure will. There is a kill shot in that is impressive. Brian

Thanks for your interest. The story with phots will come out in The African Hunting Gazette and the video will be on You Tube.

I just got back from a 7 weeks in Africa with my family. My wife and I spent one of those weeks, cape buffalo hunting in the Lowveld. I killed 3 buffalo with CEB Raptor bullets and 1 buffalo with a 700 gr. Peregrine BushMaster bullet in my .577NE. the full bullet report will appear in The...

Sounds like you had a great time with K&S. I hunted several cape buffalo with them and had a great time with Kobus. He is the best and lots of fun. I would hunt with him again, any time, anywhere. However I did not appreciate Johan Seyfrert at all and would not use him again. ( Just a heads-up...

The recent book "The Man-eaters of Eden" is about the lions killing people/refugees in KNP. Good read.

Para45, We are kindred spirits!

PARA45, Thank you for your generous comments. There is a video above that shows the rifle. Also there are two photos of the rifle and a recovered bullet on my facebook page. Brian Gallup. I have not learned how to post a photo yet, I sorry to admit.
