    Eland Cartridges for recoil sensitive shooter?

    Lots of good suggestions. My 2c There is a huge difference between a cow weighing 200kg dressed and a bull 500kg dressed. There are little more fulfilling hunts than shooting the big blue bulls on foot. It is not easy and usually requires a lot of stalking, and is not a given on a 5day hunt...

    Cross wildebeest off the list?

    We are fortunate to have hunted many of them. A good friend always say shoot the wildebeest low and in front. Rule number one, low and rather on than behind the front leg. The spine of the blue wildebeest is just above the middle of the wildebeest on the front leg line. Any shots that would be...

    Hatari! 60th anniversary; help needed for food ideas

    Most of the movie was shot on my grandad's land. He was Willie de Beer. Sadly I just knew him only as a young boy. In the house, I can tell you in, Afrikaans, those were 'vleis, rys en aartappels' days. That is meat, rice and potatos. Something like leg of lamb, rice and baked potatoes, but on...

    Best braid to leader knot...

    For heavier leader fg for sure way to go. Lighter line any of the avove will work well. The most important thing is to get the braid to 'cut' into mono. Thus it needs to be pulled hard and in doing so easily cut your hands. I saw a nice trick where a guide uses the plastic from a bicycle handle...

    404 Jeffery loads

    I shoot my 404 2150. It groups well and I have never had any issues with penetration. In my opinion it is not necessary to chase speed in a 404.

    What Is Your Dream Rifle?

    The serial number looks to be late 30's. The rifle was rebuilt in South Africa early 80's, from an action 'harvested' in Zim if I have it correctly.

    Was lucky enough to get this dream rifle a few years ago, out of a safe where it was 'hidden' for 3 decades.

    404 Jeffery Reloading

    Agree with above. I load a bullet with cantilever grooves. If you get your Brass to end in one of the grooves a normal die works even better as 'crimping' tool, if set up correctly.

    Shooting sticks, 2 or 3 legs?

    The 4 leg 2 point systems are next level stable. I didn't want to believe it until I tried it. The make I bought is stable sticks, they are pricey but worth it in my opinion. I used a 3 legged design before.
