    .416 Rem Mag Issue

    So I am having an issue with .416 RM Blaser R8. My scope keeps moving forward under recoil. I applied extra torque to screws, blue locktite on the screws, and added blue locktite on the inside of the rings. It still keeps moving forward. I know I can't be the only person to deal with this...

    Does anyone have reloading dies in .30 Remington, .32 Remington, or .35 Remington that they want to sell? Got some new toys I’d like to shoot and buy some dies off someone sitting on some they don’t use.

    9.3 Sisk

    I said I was done buying guns for a while until I got some stuff paid off. But then...my curiosity got to me and I made one too many phone calls and found the second 9.3 Sisk that Charlie had made was for sale. The price was right and came with does, a bunch of brass, and bullets. Still need to...

    Want To Buy 9.3x64 Dies

    Looking to buy a set of 9.3x64 dies if anyone has that they aren’t using. Decided I can’t live without a scout rifle in 9.3x64. If interested in trades, let me know what you may be looking for. I own an AR-15/AR-10 company, so if you need anything AR related I may have something for you.

    Savage 99

    Worked up some loads and went to the range with the 99 today. If I can get GMX or TSX/TTSX to shoot as well as the SST, I’m going to be tempted to take with me next summer. Anybody else hunted Africa with a .300 Savage and peep sights? Targets were at 50 yards.

    Father/Daughter Safari v2.0

    Had to postpone 2020 trip of course for 2021. All was good, made date changes, got all money stuff taken care of, got 120% (or 125% can’t remember) from Qatar Airlines in credit for tickets to get for 2021. And then.... went to purchase tickets for 2021 from them and what costs is about $8600...

    Shadow shoulder?

    I have read the .470 Capstick has a shadow shoulder. Not much info I can find on exactly what that is. I figured when I reloaded it, I would find out. I found out I was wrong. It doesn’t look any different than my .458 Lott loads, but with bigger bullets. what am I missing? Am I doing...

    .318 Westley Richards loading dies...

    Does anyone have any for sale first off? secondly, it appears Hornady will make them but I have to send them 3 fired cases. How do I fire the cases if I don’t have ability to load them to fire them? Anybody have an idea how to cobble together something that will get three rounds loaded?

    Buffalo load in Double Rifle

    I have a .470 NE Chapuis that I have been very happy with. As I will be hunting in 2022 for cape buff I will have time to practice and work up a load. The PH I’m going with is absolutely in love with the Barnes TSX. I am working up a load at the moment and used the Barnes data. Found the most...

    .375 HH question

    Loading Nosler AB in 300 grain for .375 HH, and using Lee seating die. Apparently the shape of the bullet differs from the shape of the plug in the die. Anyone else have this problem and does it really matter? Rounds come out looking kinda funky, but shoot fine and good groups. Does lee make...

    2020 Ruger African?

    Anybody hear anything about a Ruger African release for 2020? My sales rep at Lipsey’s said he knows nothing for this coming year. A .318 WR, .300 HH, or even 8x57 would be great choices in my opinion...

    BOTSWANA: Tholo Hunt 9/2/19-9/12/19

    I have been putting this off bc I am lazy, and don’t feel like a lot of typing on my phone. All that said, first safari was with Tholo in Botswana, and I couldn’t be happier. Lori @Travel Express did the travel plans, Henri did the rifle expedite through RSA, and Tholo was top notch. Met us at...

    Headed out to Tholo, First safari!

    So after almost 20 months or so of planning and buying LOTS of rifles because, you know,...safari, I’m headed to IAH Terminal D to start on my trip to Tholo. I think I’m actually more nervous than excited and I can’t figure out why??? Many thanks to Charlie Austin for fining me tips and advise...

    Pacemakers and big guns

    This May have been discussed but I looked and may have missed it. I recently got a pacemaker (8/8/19) going PG hunting with 9.3x62 on 8/30. Not too worried about that. But....does anyone here have a PM and shoot big stuff like .470NE or .500 Jeffery? I asked in a Pacemaker support group and...

    Opinions on 8mm Mag

    Thinking about an 8mm Rem Mag. Trying to decide if it’s worth the money plus buying a scope and of course reloading supplies and components. I have several 9.3x62, a .375 HH .375 Ruger, 8x57, and .338 WM. Is it going to fill a hole in there? Trying to talk myself out of it and just put towards...

    Why is Tanzania so expensive to hunt and is it worth it?

    Forgive my ignorance as I will only be on my first safari (Botswana) this September and then RSA in June 2020 for my second (17 days). Why is Tanzania so expensive to hunt and is it worth it? I’ve tried to find out why, and can only assume bc it is still free range? I know most stuff...

    Botswana Safari

    Getting everything ready to go on first safari, Tholo in Botswana. I plan on taking my Blaser R8 with two barrels. I’m also bringing my fathers rifle for ease of paperwork. Tholo said Botswana may count my rifle with two barrels as two guns. Anybody have experience with this? They said they...

    .500 Jeffery question

    I have always been a Dillon guy, but I can’t reload .500 Jeff with it. So I dusted off the old Lee hand primer that my dad used to use, and found it is not big enough to prime the brass. Am I missing something? Is there a special primer tool y’all use? Is there a shell holder for it that Lee...

    Daughter’s rifle

    My daughter (15 yoa) and I are going in 2020 for a 7 day safari with Kuche and a 10 day with Paw Prints, then a 3 day in Mauritius (for me) to get a Rusa. My daughter has sworn up and down all she would shoot is a zebra. She has never shot a rifle in her life. I was thinking my wife’s 7mm-08...

    .30-06 host gun ideas

    so I have a 80s or 90s era Winchester Model 70 in .30-06. I want something bigger and cooler. Considered a .35 Whelen, and a .338-‘06. Anybody want to throw some ideas out there? I don’t want to drop a dump truck full of money into it, but I know that this isn’t a DIY thing either. I’ve...

    Copenhagen in Africa

    I’m going to assume there is not a large availability of Copenhagen snuff in Africa. I will be in SA in 2020 for 20+ days. Anybody here dip snuff and hunt Africa? What did y’all do for an extended supply? I imagine 30-40 cans would be over duty limits and not sure that it would stay very fresh...

    Ruger Hawkeye 9.3x62

    The Ruger 9.3x62 Hawkeye African is at distributors and shipping to dealers. It is a Lipseys exclusive I beleive, so your dealer will have to get it from them. The only downside (to me) is that it is tapered barrel profile and not a heavy barrel like the original release. There may be another...

    Ruger .450/400

    I had said some months ago I was trying to be a good boy and save my money for more stuff on safari (like a sable).... well I somehow ended up among my other rifles I bought, a Ruger No 1 in .450/400. What have I done?? I’m going to have to start reloading again for sure it I want to shoot...

    Ruger .22 Hornet

    Had a local LE agency being in seized guns they are trading in to me for some new patrol rifles. In the batch was a Ruger 77/22 in .22 Hornet. Couldn’t pass up since they said either they take what I offer for the lot (about 30 guns) or they pay to have them destroyed. Long story short, I now...

    New Toy

    Could not pass up the Ruger 1 in 9.3x74 on GB. I didn’t really want it, but at the price it was going for, I felt like I had to. So it is headed my way. Found some cheap burner ammo from Prvi, and gonna see how this thing works out. I needed it like a hole in my head... just puts me further...

    Base and rings for Winchester 70 .375

    What are some suggestions for base and rings for my Winchester M70 in .375 H&H. I have to admit, I either run an AR platform rifle or use Rugers. I’m at a loss for what I should get to put on my 70. Any ideas are welcome. Plan on trying out a Bortex 1-8x I have in my inventory. Figure it...

    Sauer 100 The good and the bad and the good

    So good and bad. I’m happy with how the Sauer 100 did at 200 yards off the bench with the Norma Oryx 286 grain. (Ignore the flyer). I know there are guys that can shoot way better than this, but off some sandbags on a June day in SE Texas....I’ll take it. On the downside, the stock was not...

    Which weight Norma Oryx?

    First post, been reading but just now joined. Going in Sept if 2019 w father on our first safari w Tholo. He figured 71 years was long enough to wait. I decided on a 9.3x62 in a Sauer. Love the rifle and shoots great. I’m getting my head wrapped around the axle on bullet selection. I see...
