So yall haven't had any issues with the wife walking in the garage while your reloading and changing the humidity, therefore having the reloads shoot different or something similar?

I heard that reloading ammo would not yield consistent results especially in the big bores. I am particularly interested if this is true for the .375 H&H and the 416 Rigby and what effects the consistence of the reloads. Another aspect is how much of a financial benefit is there to reloading...

where did he shoot it at?

I never would have guessed that those little guys would be as chalenging as it sounds like to intentionally hunt.

I am also looking into a new double rifle most likely a merkel 140 in a .375. I would be interested in knowing why you chose the Merkels over the K-guns dugaboy. You seem to really know alot about double rifles and appreciate the input.

Dugaboy I really enjoyed you post and was wondering what would be your first choice for Cape Buffalos, and why do you feel the .375 is to small for elephants?

where do merkels fall in the list?

What are the 5 most challenging species to hunt excluding the big 5 and why?

I have never been to Africa but I am trying to get there. I am interested in a size comparison of between buffs and something in North America. Are they similar to Brahman bulls, elk at the shoulder, full size pickup....? Thanks

I don't agree with high fence hunting. Living in Texas and have hunted high fenced and low fenced properties, the closes thing to open range in Texas,for whitetail, hogs, and Mountain lions. On the high fenced properties it is well known where each particular animal tends to be, which all but...

So if i were planning a safari mainly for Cape Buffalo would it be foolhardy of me to show up with a 375 H&H, and expect a one shot kill with a proper heart or spine shot or would it most likely need the PH's follow up?

It sounds like most people shot a .416 Rigby or larger, but most countries state the minimum Big 5 caliber to be a .375. Does the .375 H&H not have the knockdown?

Having never been to Africa but I have guided duck hunts and it seems to me that if your a good PH who ends up with a hard to deal with client, do what the client is going to do, advise your friends about them. If the truth is bad for business, then something needs to change and on the other...
