Waddy is a very funny guy and is exactly as he appears on camera… HH

Roll Tide…welcome. HH

Congratulations on a fine rifle…now go pop it’s cherry HH

I qualify for several of the awards but have never felt the need to apply for them. I don’t have a problem with anyone that chooses to do so. HH

I’m a fan of swift bullets and been a fan for years…but, Bill had had production issues for years and will continue to do so unless he moves manufacturing to a bigger town. He’s exhausted everyone in his area. Until he does I will continue buying North Fork and Cutting Edge bullets. They work...

Congratulations! Quite the accomplishment. HH

Interesting question for sure. I believe a 500 NE delivering a 570 grain bullet at 2150 FPS is incredibly effective and when regulated properly is plenty of rifle to take any animal on the planet. The 505 Gibbs and 500 Jeff are in a different league of stopping rifles with more shots available...

Congratulations Todd! HH

Good smooth smoke. HH

Most of these are scam websites and would strongly advise against using these websites. One only has to do a quick search to read countless negative reviews about people falling victim to this scam. HH

Thank you for the kind words on the Heym. The scope I have picked on the pictured detachable mounts is a Swarovski Z8i 1.7-13.3x42 - 4A-IF. I am starting with Van Gruff’s load of: 400 grain Swift A-Frame 84 grains of H4350 400 grain North Fork Solid 83.7 grains of H4350 I plan on starting my...

We typically float the Yellowstone or Madison rivers depending on what’s hot. HH

Heading to Montana with the family in the middle of June for our annual 3 day float trip. HH

Happy Easter! IWC Da Vinci HH

6.5 CM 6.5 PRC 7mm Mag 300 Win Mag 375 H&H 458 Lott HH

Just to get back on track… HH

I can only speculate but since we in the USA have had to wait so long for cans (that are bought over the counter virtually everywhere else) the flood gates have opened with the demand from people who no longer have to wait. The problem now is the manufacturers have to increase production based...

When will the US stop interfering in how Africa regulates Elephants...

I’m flying Business Class to Namibia in July and heading through Frankfurt and on to Windhoek on Lufthansa. 11 1/2 hours to Frankfurt 6 hour layover 10 1/2 hours to Windhoek Same flights back with only 3 hour layover. HH

What load data do you have for this? I’m shooting a 500 grain at 2300 Fps. HH

I believe that LFB gets their brass from Bertram

You are rolling the dice with British Airways. Cost me 3 days and a ton of money with their bull sh+t this past year. With your options I would go Delta. HH

I just cleared Houston with amongst other animals 3 euro warthogs and one life size mount. No delays at all and I used Trophy Shippers. HH

I agree on these scope choices 1x8 gives you the best of both worlds. At a 100 Yards you can crank it up as much as you need to and still gives you plenty of time to crank it down if a charge from that distance occurs. I use the Swarovski 1x8 illuminated. HH

I respect everyone’s individual way they choose to hunt as long as it’s legal. In Africa I have hunted from the back of a truck during a large cull operation(200 springbok, impala, zebra) all females. It was good trigger time but more work than I anticipated as all meat was used. Other than that...

Well done! That Luxus is a great looking rifle. HH

Thanks for all the kind words and I’m really starting to get excited about the 404’s impending arrival. I was able to find the original sketch that the engraver did for the Buffalo and I’m adding it to the thread for review. I think his engraving came remarkably close to the mockup. HH

R8 Selous 458 Lott

Another pic. I’m starting to develop loads with my other 404 Jeff to optimize this slaying sob… HH

I think I will bloody the rifle on an Elephant/Cape Buffalo hunt this July on the the Caprivi Strip. HH

18 months HH

Chris told me his name while he was doing the sketch for the Buffalo but I did not write it down. I will find out and let everyone know. HH

Just got some finished photos of my new Heym 404 Jeffery and am expecting delivery sometime in the next 30 days. HH

I am using a Blaser saddle base with Tier 1 Blaser tac scope rings. Love this setup! HH

Safari Trophy Bonded Bear Claw 458 Lott 500 Grain. Excellent performance. HH

I tend to like my big bores a tad heavier and my R8 Selous 458 Lott with scope weighs 12.1 lbs. HH

Just when we thought it wouldn’t happen again here comes the onslaught of crazy ballistics for the extreme hand loaders out there…stirring the pot and tongue firmly in cheek…458Lott is far superior to 458WM and it’s not even debatable:-) HH

I’ve never complained about rifle weight in Africa and 13 1/2 to 14 is correct for a 577NE. Now when Sheep hunting every ounce counts and light rifles is the norm. HH

404 Jeffery of course second choice is a 458 Lott. HH

Lots of good information here. Botswana is a great place for what you’re looking for but SA and Namibia are traditionally going to be less costly. Whatever you do go after Eland first as upon success you will be feasting on my favorite game animal. Good luck on your search. HH

Who made that one? HH

Congratulations on a beautiful rifle! I am about 12-18 months behind you on the delivery of my Heym 577. I look forward to your future posts on the load workup and results. Happy hunting with that beast! HH

As I’ve said many times a 300 Win Mag and 458 Lott will cover everything and allow for redundancy. Perfect R8 configuration. HH

North Fork makes excellent bullets and have used them on 2 different hunts with perfect performance. I understand several custom hand loading companies in the USA have started loading these bullets for us. HH

Prayers sent Lon. Hoping for you a speedy recovery and that you get at least one more chance to spit in the devil's eye! HH

Not to be rude but how about you telling us a little about yourself so we can get an idea what your referral means. HH

Beautiful watch and congrats! I pulled my Seamaster out of the winder to wear today. HH

1-8x24 is what I think you mean... HH

Welcome aboard! Tell us about your upcoming hunt please. HH
