I would never store salted skins from Africa for 2 years ! If you do store them, remove them from any plastic and store them on an open shelf where the climate is controlled. Humidity is your enemy here. They must stay dry free from bugs etc. If they get to hot for an extended time like a...

I dont know how well they work , but getting some seems to be problematic ! Ive had some 375s and some 30 cal on order now for over 4 months. Still no word on them. Last time I heard they were to be here march 18th. I guess it dosent matter how good a bullet is if you cant get it !

Mike Im a load nut. No expert but love to mess with loads. I live in a remote place here in Idaho and have my own private acerage and have a concrete bench with built over cover on it. so I can walk out my back door and shoot 5 or 6 rounds walk back in and make up another load and start over...

RAY I have hunted with hounds here in Idaho from the late 80s on. Some of it for an outfitter. Once when things went bad I ended up in the middle of a wounded MT Lion and my pack of dogs, first thing the cat did was grab a hold of my leg and sink all of his digits in as far as he could and give...

The lead sled to me is a sight in only tool. All I know is that you get a lot more muzzel jump when you shoot. Living where I live in good weather like spring and summer I may sight in or test a new load in 5 guns every other day. I might be a wimp but I cant take that much of a beating. My...

I have shot several hundred rounds with mine in a 375 H&H. Havent had any problem yet. Have also shot my 7 mm STW for years in it no problem !

Cleathorn good read ! I havent gone to africa yet but am going in Aug for plains game so this tip thing concerns me. I hate what tipping has become in North America. Resturants that add 15% to your bill automaticaly. They might get me once but I never go back again. Its a tip---not a fee...

I went to the T shocks because they do so well in my 7mm STW. Thing is that they are 150 gr. doing 3283 fps. I have shot more than a dozen bull elk with this load from 30 yards out to 450. Never Had bad perfofmance from them. Last year a whitetail buck running straight at me, I shot in the...

I bought a 375 H & H this last summer, so I could use it this fall and then take it to Namibia next august. I loaded it with 300 gr barnes triple shocks. I shot a bull elk with it a hair under 300 yards. It was pretty poor perfomence they didnt expand. The first bullet in pic went thru both...

The problem is that its like the old saying---- the truth may lay somewhere in the middle. I once guided for an outfitter for elk here in Idaho. Some were great some where terrible hunts. You cant seem to please some people no matter what ! Im not saying that you didnt get the screws put to you...

Thanks everyone. Ive already talked to gracy travel and they sounded like a great company to deal with. I just wanted to see who all you had been booking through. SA is the problem for booking air in 2010. Thats one of the reasons I booked a hunt in Namibia and will fly via Germany. The air...

Wasn't sure where to ask this but, where have you guys found the best place to book your air to africa ? Going to Namibia next June Have been told to get my air booked now, so thought I would get on it .

Thanks that gives me some info to go with ! I get ya red leg and thanks again!

Thanks guys. Red leg---- my understanding of the firearms laws in Namibia wont allow for the use of those calibers for hunting. Calhoun-----yes I do reload, I use barnes triple shocks for all my hunting loads. I have a load for my 7mm-o8 thats reduced-- but was trying to limt my guns to two...

Going to Namibia next june and want to shoot some small game for life size mounts. Animals like baboon Jackal, klipspringer,steenbok etc. We handle hundreds of these skins a year and more than 60 percent are nearly blowen in half, making for a poor mount. My understaning of Namibia is that...

Thanks for the imput ! The tuff pac is kinda pricey for a chunk of plastic but if it works I think it would be money well spent.

Hi everyone ! My wife , daughter and I are going on a hunt in Namibia in june next year. We are taking 3 rifles , was wondering what the recomended hard case for our rifles would be ? I have a friend that went to South Africa last year with a tuff-pac with no problems. I have a aluminun...

After looking again Im thinkin I was wrong with 6 and think its 7 now!:)

HMMMMMMMMM, I don't know which is larger I would prefer bull #2 for looks a lone ! I know to the inch what # 2 measures as we mounted the head. Ive been lurking around here for a couple weeks but this is my first post. My family is headed to Namibia a year from now. :)
