Let's hope Guy makes a very speedy recovery, let's just say not a good situation to be in, I just hope he's had decent medical care and no infection sets in, I suppose he will be able to tell a graphic story, so will the dog in its own way!

Very sad news, condolences to family and friends.

Hi Rafiki, how you doing? I appreciate this thread is a couple of weeks old, but like Boela and Albert GRANT we to use Peregrine's, in 6.5mm, 30 cal, 8mm and 375. We have found them to be very good, yes not cheap but they do a very good job. I used a 165 VLR4 on my Zebra, approx 130m away...

Hoas, thanks for posting this info!

So unfortunately on Friday 22nd March the UK parliament has found time to discuss another Trophy Hunting Bill, it's interesting because today it was announced that UK has now an even larger amount of the population leaving in poverty, in fact a dramatic rise in those numbers, but hey that's not...

Respect! My husband uses a SR21, he has shot a Heym Express, that is a fab looking rifle my husband will be jealous!

I will add this is very sound advice regarding full length sizing, which is nuisance with your fire formed brass, I will add with regards to the 375 H&H I do use the Willis collet die as well.

Hi All, Sadly here we go again, the country faces a rake of issues and yet parliamentary time can be found for this latest round of virtue signalling!!!! At least there are some truth bombs in this article...

I can absolutely confirm the R8 375 H&H will work well on cape buffalo!!!

Sad news to hear, best wishes and condolences to family and friends!

Unfortunately a pure case of virtue signalling, it is shocking to think that pure emotionalism holds sway over facts, Yes we have this legislation being discussed in the UK parliament in March yet again!!! Frederik has a very valid point above to say the least!!!

Hunter-Habib. First thing very sorry to hear of Major Kahn's passing, seems to have lived a full life, RIP and best wishes to his family. Secondly thanks for the comprehensive write up and obviously sorry to hear your friends passing.

Hi All, Well here we are just a few days into a new year and lo and behold, The Dodgiest APPG Ever Resurfaces COUNTRY SQUIRE MAGAZINE BY JOHN NASH As the old year drew to a chilly close and the shadowy fingers of the dark half of the year took their last crepuscular grasp before the re-birth...

Hi All, Well here we are just a few days into a new year and lo and behold, https://countrysquire.co.uk/2024/01/06/the-dodgiest-appg-ever-resurfaces/ This is an interesting read, I'm sure it is written by a a member of AH, sadly the stupidity in the UK about pushing this legislation...

A very Merry Christmas to all on AH, very best wishes to you and your families, let's all have a great 2024 and hey maybe lucky to experience TIA this coming year

Shocking news, a terrible thing to happen any time of year let alone this time of year, condolences to family and friends, please let them know our thoughts and prayers are with them. RIP.

Hi DieJager, Yes would like to attend, we couldn't make it this year, so hopefully it's pencilled in as its a great show well worth attending!!!!

A very big well done, we were in PE the other week during the French game, let's say the bar got very lively!!!!! I think there will be plenty of sore heads on Sunday!!!

Thanks for the great report and photos, sounds like you all had a fab trip, result!!

Hi All, here is the latest from the BBC on this, BBC News - Call for ministers to make sure hunting trophy ban goes ahead https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66883398 I wouldn't assume this has gone away just yet, the current government have only approximately 14 months before the next...

Sad news, obviously condolences to family and friends, plus it sounds like a big loss to the hunting community at large! RIP

Very sorry to hear this, far to young a age, we will miss his posts, condolences to family and friends, it seems he lived a full life, respect and rest in peace.

Just seen this. I hope this chap makes a speedy recovery, this could have been a whole lot worse, prayers for him and family!!

Unfortunately I think it is fair to say that sheer emotionalism wins over factual evidence with regards to to the UK trophy import bill, poor legislation that will benefit no one in Africa etc, but looks fab to the likes of the Guardian etc!!!

Just done so now, will forward on to my husband to do the same, thanks for posting Mark-Hunter

Thanks Frederik, for posting. We were lucky to catch this the other day on YouTube recommendation, we enjoyed, really good to see some of these rifles put through their paces!

A big congratulations, looks a very fine buff!!! Looking forward to the report, looks like the R8 delivered the goods!!!

I think I like that idea of "well rounded grab bag for Africa" my husband will be particularly jealous, perhaps make it a Heym double, that will make him feel really good!!!! Hopefully you have had some decent practice with your set up, I will be trialling some Peregrine VR4 in 250g this week...

Hi Safariswestcam, Hopefully you've really enjoyed the feedback on this thread, there are a lot of users of the R8 system. I'm very lucky the R8 is my rifle of choice. I have taken it to Africa 5 times now, the last two times with the extra 375 H&H barrel, the last trip I was very lucky to...

Graham Hunter, thanks for promptly coming back and more importantly with decent happy news!!! Really good to hear your friend Marco is well and back doing what he loves, being a PH! Like I have said we sometimes forget the risks these guys face for us their clients, pass on regards to him!!!

Hi All, I appreciate this thread is 18 odd months old, did this Chap make a full recovery in the end? We need some decent happy news!

We have a government well behind in opinion polls, so virtue signalling legislation such as this is merely about getting some extra votes!!

Please don't get me started on "celebrities" and their influence, yet again an example of emotionalism winning over facts!!! The sheer cynical attempt by politicians just to get some votes shows no boundaries!!

Hi Sh1kar, good evening, how you doing? Welcome to AH, its a great forum great information and brilliant to see other people's adventures abroad. Also its good to hear from someone else from Hampshire Best regards

Hi all, I know this thread hasn't been updated for a while but sadly this is what happened today, BBC News - Ban on imports of animal hunting trophies set to become law https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64988108 Classic virtue signalling to say the least!!!

I know this thread is a few months behind now, but sadly this happened today!! BBC News - Ban on imports of animal hunting trophies set to become law https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64988108

Just seen this thread, yet again another PH getting seriously hurt OMG!! Like I have said before it really shows the risks these professionals take on for us the client. Let's hope this chap makes a full and speedy recovery and doesn't suffer any longer term issues, very best wishes to him!

Hi All, Obviously it's a couple of months ago this happened, so just wanted to ask how this chap is progressing?

Terrible news, yet again another PH losses his life while out in the hunting field! Obviously condolences to his family and prayers for them and friends RIP Sebastian Let's hope there is some support for the young family at this very difficult time.

Yes a sad event, no doubt an end to an era, the Queen undoubtedly set an example that some today could learn a good many lessons from! Just think all those world leaders she met, I wonder if there are some excellent ancdotes that are still waiting to be told? We know the Queen had a passion...

Hi Guys how are you all? Please keep the feedback coming in, any factory Federal users out there? I did find this fieldsports nation link on non toxic ammunition choices, I will see if I can find their summary presentation. It was interesting to see GECO did well for accuracy.

Hi All, With regards to the question about RL15, yes it is the same as Norma 203--B. This was discussed in the UK as many USA produced powders were no longer REACH compliant, hence available and alternatives were sought. Hope that helps.

Hi k man, thanks for the updates, good to hear he is making good progress

Hi guys, thanks for the further updates, I'm sure there will be many more factory users out there, Steve with regards to GECO, I'm sure fieldsports nation have done a video with their lead free and some other manufacturers? I'll see if I can find it?

Really sorry to hear this, let's hope he makes a full and speedy recovery, best wishes to his family and friends!!! Once again it shows the risks that Ph's are exposed to while looking after us, their clients!!!

Hi guys how you all doing? We have had some feedback, just wondering if anyone has used any Federal, Winchester, Nosler, Sako or any other brand on their recent travels to Africa etc??? Rgds

Hi guys thanks for the putting in your feedback . I hope there will be more to come? Great feedback on the Core_Lokt! Longwalker, Mark - Hunter and Shootist thanks for referencing Norma I have only occasionally seen it in the gunshop similar price to RWS, again difficult to regularly source.

I appreciate this is a bit wordy, but it gives you an idea of what the UK aviation industry is going through at the moment, we have not even got to the peak holiday point at the moment! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/07/19/slasher-airlines-low-wages-led-travel-chaos-says-heathrow-boss/
