Hi Shootist43. Thanks for the welcom. Living in SA I have been fortunate to be able to do quite a bit of hunting. My budget has never allowed any of the BIG stuff (yet) but I’m working on it! Over the years I have hunted most of the usual plains game species in SA. Steenbuck, common duiker...

One of my favorite spots in Africa

Not the biggest down there but certainly a beautiful bull!! Tanzania

Tanzania Cape Buffalo

Lion

Congratulations on the hunt. Sorry about the Hyena. Nice pigs and a proper baboon!

Thank you for the info Sir. I just wanted to make sure before trying the 0.411 bullets. Ruger no 1 rifles are quite scares here in SA and a rebarrel job is virtually impossible, even if you get a smith willing to do it, the re licensing process takes up to a year!

The pleasure is mine. Thanks for a great forum.

Sorry for the double pics! Got a bit confused there for a while. These were all taken on photographic safaris. I will try to get and load some of my hunting pics too.

Good day Brickburn. At the moment I’m in Saudi Arabia on a work contract and am doing everything on my phone. I am that “one kid left behind” when it comes to technology. I will definitely give it a go to load some pictures. Hope it works Singwedzi river on the Mozam side. Sorting out lunch...

Thanks 375 Ruger Fan. I’m sure we will chat in the future. My brother just bought a Ruger Alaskan in 375 Ruger and as I am the designated “reloader” for the family I’m sure I’ll be asking some load advice soon.

Thanks enysse. Glad to be here.

Good day Sir. I actually joined the forum because of this topic. I have a 450-400”3 Ruger no1 tropical and up to now have only loaded using 0.410 diameter Bullets, mainly Hornady and Impala (locally made Bullets here in South Africa) I have not slugged my barrel but read that the diameters on...

Good day to all. Even though I read several forums this is the first time I’ve ever written something, so crossing fingers this post is in the correct place?? I am a avid hunter/shooter/reloader from sunny South Africa. I guided photographic safaris throughout South and East Africa for 10 years...
