Love the .375 HH, .458 WM, .416 RM

375 H&H, 243 AI, 300 Jarrett

.416 Remington Magnum.

235, 250, 300 grains in a .375 H&H is perfect for PG animals.

I shoot 185 grain Berger VLDs in my .300 Jarrett and all PGAs were DRT with one shot. Can not go wrong with Nosler ABs and Barnes TTSX as both are great bone crushing bullets.

RL 15 is a very accurate load. Try 75.5 grains of W760. Very accurate.

Welcome!

Shot placement is the key to success.

Delta is excellent with a direct Atlanta to JNB/OR Tambo. Leverage the services of Mr. X in JNB for rifle clearance.

Alaska 2021. Very challenging hunt.

Great post! Grew quickly.

375 H&H off the sticks at 58 yards. Just like turning off the light switch. BTW Barnes 300 grain TSX with 75.5 grains of W760 and F215 primer.

375 H&H hands down if you want versatility and fun shooting. 416 RM if you just want a DG rifle.

I believe your best choice is Barnes 250 grain TTSX.

IMR 4064 is my go to for 235 grain TSX.

I have experienced great success with 76.5 grains of Winchester 760 and Barnes 300 grain TSX.

I have a .338 Jarrett so the load data won't match. I love the Barnes 225 grain TTSX out of mine. Killed all my PG on three trips to Africa with one shot. Headed to Alaska late summer with it for Brown Bear.

Alan - 350 grain A Frames are plenty with proper shot placement.

I have Talley's on all my rifles with Swaro scopes.

225 grains is the classic bullet weight for .338. Such a superb platform that just hammers on arrival.

I love the .338. Lot's of great bullet selections in weights and manufacturer. I have a Jarrett .338 and have used it extensively on three trips to Africa. Mine launches a 225 grain TTSX @ 3007 FPS. Will be using in Alaska this August for Brown Bear.

As you all know shot placement is paramount. Practice endlessly at the range shooting off sticks and rapidly taking second and third shots so you can naturally cycle your bolt quickly. If wounded follow the directions exactly how your PH states.

300 WM is perfect for plains game. Nosler are great bullets, I prefer Barnes 180 grain TTSX. Have a great hunt!

Zebra is the toughest I have harvested. Taken 5 so far and they were all challenging and fun!

All excellent points. In my humble experience shot placement is the number one deciding factor in successful game harvesting. Now that is of course using the appropriate caliber and bullet for the hunted species.

Great story. You made the correct choice in not taking the risky shot.

I like my .375 H&H with 75.5 grains of W760 pushing a Barnes 300 grain TSX at 2510 FPS. Deadly accurate.

DSC. Has SCI released their vendor list yet? Everyone I want to see is already registered for DSC.

Great options posted above. Also take a look at Barnes 250 grain TTSX. Great bullet that expands and retains it's weight.

I absolutely love Talley rings and have them on all my rifles. Takes extreme recoil and abuse in the field and will not move your scope. Go with Talley.

Go with a monolithic bullet for DG. In .375 H&H its Barnes 300 grain TSX. Terminal performance is terrific.

Great advice posted above. I have used Mr. X's services on three trips to RSA and all were very smooth. $150 should get it done and of course you can TIP if you feel like it. Have a great safari.

God bless and heal quickly!

7MM RM is another highly versatile cartridge for PG and most American lower 48 states and some Alaska species. .284 Jarrett with Berger 195 grain Elite Hunter VLDs at 476 yards.

300WM is an awesome cartridge launched in 1963. With proper shot placement and bullets it is a bulldozer. Your shot placement looks great I am not a big fan of Nosler. I like Barnes 180 grain TSX and Berger 185 grain VLDs.

I so forgot about the 8mm RM! Such a great performer. The only drawback that I see is the lack of bullet selection for commercial cartridges and hand loaders.

I have had great success in Africa with my 338 Jarrett shooting Barnes 225 TSX. Every animal dropped on the first shot and no tracking required.

Great recommendations from the members listed above. Can't go wrong with any of the majors - Swift, Hornaday, Barnes, etc. I hand load the 300 grain Barnes TSX with 76 grains of Winchester 760 and get MV of 2510 FPS.

Did you use a travel agent that specializes in rifle transport? I would be very weary of transiting through France or Great Britain with a rifle.

Go with the H&H. You will be very happy.

Gentlemen - What is a 750GRN Barnes?

Try 76 grains of W760. Most accurate load I have at 100 yards.

You can not argue with success...Great shot gentlemen!

Dick Murray is the absolute best. I have his gear on every one of my rifles.

4831 is great for 180 grain bullets. Try 77 grains and see if you group well without blowing primers. I like monolithic bullets for Africa and cup/core for whitetail and Dall Sheep in Alaska.

If you are a hand loader you have to work with the powders available.

Go with 76 grains W760 with 300 gin TSX and any primer of your choice.

RL 15, Winchester 760, IMR 4064 all work well in my .375 H&H.

Atlanta customs and Rifle review is smooth. With Global Entry you should be fine. Transition through ATL from JNB in April with two rifles and took 90 minutes.

My CB. 58 yards off the sticks, one shot. Recovered bullet and it looks like a Barnes commercial.
