That's why.

Hardly waiting for it...

Regardless, the statement regarding the reloading laws in Romania is 100% corect. It is currently prohibited. For the AH members from the Western societies I'll add the following as trivia: Unfortunately it is very unlikely for the laws to change in Romania, because most of the hunters...

The M03 came in 404 Jeffrey as well. Too bad it got discontinued.

Maybe should have shared it under the jokes. Whatever. It fits in both.

I’m not familiar with the R8 platform. Would you mind explaining what is the difference between the Selous and the Kilombero model? Cheers.

I’ve seen somewhere on the forum that a gent ordered in US some custom barrels made for the Blaser system. I wonder if that is not an option that is worth investigating for the Merkel Helix system. Maybe a group order can be placed? I do own one with 3 barrels (.264–.308), but I’m not looking...

I have hunted moose in NFL prior to Covid. There were at least 6 US hunters in camp and all had their moose shipped to US. It was butchered, packed, frozen and shipped as cargo to US (to a central depot I believe). The hunters were responsible to pick it up from the depot. It was the same deal...

@Longwalker, may I ask in what rifle have you used these type of bullets for your hunt?

450/400 NE. Sent from my BBF100-2 using AfricaHunting mobile app

@Clodo, did you meant to say: "if you are NOT a handloader I would choose the 9.3x62"? I agree 100%. There is a significant difference in the versatility between the two 9.3 if you do handload. 320gr bullets can be effectively used in one but not very well in the other.

Here’s some information that you might find useful. I have recently chronographed some 9.3x64 Brenneke RWS 293gr UNI-Classic and it had an average velocity of 2,454 FPS. It was a slightly heavier rifle and the perceived recoil was comparable to the 9.3x62. Right now the brass can be obtained...

I had these 2 print screens saved when I was deciding what caliber double rifle to get in order to get the most use out of it. Maybe it helps somebody else too.

I read that Mark Twain's book ages ago and I still remember it as being one of the funniest books ever. It must have been an earlier version I guess because it was called "A Yankee in King Arthur's Court." Thanks for bring up great memories.

Not good for flying anymore. Airlines will not accept them. Need to have at least one rigid side and nothing hanging to get caught in the conveyor belts.

Now this is an interesting post. Any tips /links on how to switch from Windows to Lynux based OS? I have found howtogeek.com Thanks

I’m following this post with interest. I had switch hunting locations for this exact reason. Maybe a Zim PH/ operator can chime in and share their experience with various clients from various parts of the world.

I have noticed as well that personal cheques are not used nor accepted in European countries by the banks, unless they are business cheques. I found that surprising, but once I've noticed that the European banks take a commission for any other form of payment it suddenly made sense. Cheque...

PM sent.

Rest in peace.

Same for the reloading bullets.

Here is one available for sale, if you are on the hunt for a Blaser S2. https://ellwoodepps.com/blaser-s2-double-barrel-safari-last-edition.html?___SID=S

A mean 8 leg Canadian dog.

I checked out several reviews before I've ordered my Garmin. This one is as good as they get. One can jump to the last half of the video if he is short on time. Sent from my BBF100-2 using AfricaHunting mobile app

Welcome to AH. Looking forward to hunting reports with your outfit.

My dream rifle.....

Does anyone know if the Swarovski EL Range TA 10x32 has field flattening lens like the regular Swarovski EL 10x32? Thanks.

Where do you live? In Canada you are not allowed. As far as I know you can't do this is US either.

Herb, now would be a good time to use the PM feature. Just thinking out load.

I’m sorry I have to qualify your comments regarding Canadian emigration. The truth is that the standard mentioned above applies just for the white Christian population. But they are a very very small minority and most of them do not vote for the liberals once they get the right to vote. Hence...

If I remember correctly from the last 4 moose shot in our camp in Northern Ontario, 3 were killed by 270Win and 4th by 308Win. Any bullet weight from 375H&H will work if it’s placed correctly.

Welcome to AH!

Welcome!

Welcome! I hope you warmed-up on the lesser forums and your contribution will be grand on the best forum there is! Cheers, eh.

Is this a take-down model?

300 gr - 0.366 A-frame

Any magnum magazine will work. You are looking for type E magazine.

The global warming .... just broke my snow shovel.

Can you guys post some photos with your drillings? Love to see some of them.

I believe it is a similar design, hence it is no better nor worse. It all boils down to the SD and the terminal velocity. 235 gr TSX has a low SD and high terminal/impact velocity. If it hits the target within the designed velocity envelope it will work great for medium size game as long as...

Be careful if you are using 350gr TSX in 375H&H. I would love to hear your report on them though. I believe I’ve listened to a podcast with Dr. Robertson - who is a supporter of heavy for caliber bullets - cautioning especially about this specific Barnes combination. From all the bullets...

Dr. Kevin Robertson had a Brno 9.3x62 when he was living in Zimbabwe. The rifle was used to shoot more than 650 buffalos. According to him - it worked just fine. The rifle was sold and left in Africa to add new buffalo’s under it’s “sling”. Is it the best tool of last resort for a PH? Most...

@cash_tx, I would suggest contacting Nathan by email and ask his opinion on the subject. I’m sure he’ll get back to you. In the meantime you might consider reviewing his instructional videos and articles on this subject...

It is suggested based on expected shooting distance. One area is more open than the other.

As of late last year (2023) elephant trophys can no longer be imported into Canada.

Would you be able to share with us the photos Dave sent you with the management bulls?
