I know I would not argue with Dr Robertson. I think you're wise to give the 400gr PP a chance. If you can get the 400gr SS version, you can expect to use the exact same load with same POI and accuracy.

Welcome to AH!

Very nice cat, congrats!

Welcome to AH!

I'm questioning what the appropriate beverage would be to pair with smoked horn frog....but outside of that @gizmo has done work for me in the past, is currently working on some more and will again on yet more when my horns/hides from Mozambique last year make it to his shop.

Great trophies, congrats!

I get your point, but there is something to be said for a quick and humane ending and doing what's right by the animal. Seems that bull's suffering could've been ended sooner and the hunter's credit for a bow kill be damned seeing how he took an ill advised shot to begin with. Just speaking to...

The only thing I had that represented an issue was with a lady that freaked out when I just walked in with my rifles in their cases. She barked at me that I should have come in empty handed prior to and let her know what I was needing to do. Funny, I did that before the agents looked at me...

Everyone makes bad shot at some point if they hunt long enough. I would have a lot more sympathy if he had said "I should have held the shot" instead of the leading comment. A moving shot at an elephant with a bow...some things just don't make sense to me nor should be published.

Enjoyed the read, thanks for posting.

No, the outfitter was Lily Pond Creek Outfitters.

@Green Chile, one thing I don't think you've addressed, maybe I missed it, is table fare of these Canadian bears. My one and only black bear was from Hyde County, NC. Those bears were nice and fat on peanuts and were excellent eating. How about these ones?

Nice!! Big and a color phase too.

Welcome to AH posting side. I believe if not mistaken the typical twist rate for the .375HH is 1:12. My M70 shoots equal accuracy with 250gr and 300gr heads. I guess its possible you'd want the 1:10 for 350gr projectiles, but I'll have to let others chime in on that.

Nice videos and of course bear you took @Green Chile. For those not so bear hunting experienced, I count myself in this as I've only got one, watch the videos of the sow closely a few times. You'll notice how the front end of a sow is quite a bit smaller than a boar. It's almost as if the...

And to think someone got paid to come up with that.

Congratulations on some very nice trophies, particularly with a handgun! I'm happy to see @JKO HUNTING SAFARIS provided you a great hunt.

Pretty nice group, that'll hunt well. That's pretty great velocity, I'd be very careful moving up in charge from here, you're nearing a limit I'd say.

Welcome to AH!

I'd like to see the head of the one on the left with his head in the barrel.

I traveled to the Philippines for work some better part of 30 years ago and spent 3 weeks there. The tour of the island I'll not forget. Seeing the shot out buildings, the divots in the armament, well it was also just fascinating to me. As the tour proceeded we ended up down at the beach...

That kit will definitely get you started. The powder dispenser I would say is pretty old school along with the scale. However both have worked for many years, it's just a bit of a slower process than with the more advanced dispensers available now. A few things I see you'll need in addition...

H4350 is one of the temp insensitive powders from Hodgson, I wouldn't worry too much about pressure.

Very nice, groups holding well over a fairly wide charge range. I think I'd stick with that 77gr load. The 78gr load showed a bit less increase in velocity than the other 1gr increases. Makes me think it's about to open up a bit after that. And the 77gr load gives you great velocity.

Well done, congrats!

Welcome to AH! Your post makes me think about as a kid watching Curt Gowdy and American Sportsman. That makes me a bit of a geezer, but I think you can find episodes on YT of that show.

I did not know that, but that is great news indeed for SCI. The only knock I had on Nashville was the size of the hall. SCI fills it now and there did not appear to be room for growth.

I'm not sure if your post was directed towards me or not. I won't argue your data or against your point in general. But I would ask, at what economic cost to the USA? As pointed out in my post to Tubby, the USA has become way too dependent on the foreign supply chain and was exposed during...

I only just noticed you tagged me in this post, I was not ignoring you. I'm in no way getting into the numbers with these posts of mine today, the first regular posts in this thread I've kind of sworn off of. But I had surgery yesterday and the internet is my primary form of distraction when...

Glad you got it back, now go hunt with it!

Yah, I'm sure Tim is being completely forthright, pfft. You seem quick to dismiss my "anectdotal" evidence but then provide your own in your UK example. FWIW, when I was younger engineer I'd have signed up to that deal in a heartbeat.

This post has nothing to do with the original subject which you often repeat that we don't have the talent. Nor does it support this bullshit line of Cook's that China is not sought for cheap labor anymore but it's technical capabilities from the interview you posted. You may just want to do a...

I think that's a crock of shit and he's making up excuses talking in generalities and not giving specifics. I work in the med tech industry. We have manufacturing all over the world with many mfg facilities here in the USA. We also have facilities in Asia, Europe and one not exactly wealthy...

What are these skills to build cell phones that you do not think we have in the USA?

Good point and I was going to mention that about being in some ways better not having to fight the crowds. My concern for this upcoming year is not so much the number of attendees as much as if outfitters have dropped out. I can say JKO Safaris will be present and I hope to make it to Atlanta...

JB, SCI NASHVILLE I think the best known quantity for the shows early next year will be SCI in Nashville. SCI has been at this location now for I think 3 years and it's been nothing short of very successful for SCI. The one thing SCI had is lots of experience moving the shows to new locations...

Welcome to AH!

Beautiful kudu, and the bigger BWB caught my attention too.

Welcome to AH!

Well done, the terrain is beautiful!

Welcome to AH!

I may have missed it being mentioned, but lip balm of some sorts. I personally prefer a tube of Carmex. If you forget to put some one and develop some chapped lips, it'll heal it faster than anything else I've used. It seems like a small comfort, but it's one of those small things that make a...

I won't argue with any of the points in your post. I agree with you in the whole thing of the Biden presidency wasn't really a Biden presidency. However, I'm just not that sure of what laws were broken in that aspect alone. Certainly Biden failed to execute those laws regarding immigration...

Welcome to AH from another Zonie!

Been avoiding this thread and posting in it, but must confess to checking it out every so often. I really don't care when they knew about his cancer or not in reality. Covering it up, yah not such a good thing I'd agree. But I'm far more interested in the cover up that is keeping the Epstein...

Wow, glad your home was spared. But also hope your neighbors were otherwise okay, the homes can be rebuilt/repaired.

Often these cancellation hunts have a timeframe in which they must occur. If so for this one, that should be included in the post.

Welcome to AH!

I think you've got it down pretty well, but there is one item of concern. As I recall in the past I've always shown a letter of invitation from my outfitter at the SAPS office. Since you don't have an outfitter you won't have one obviously. I would ask Henry at Rifle Permits about this ASAP...
