    Potentially new dangerous game cartridges coming to market?

    The only "new" dangerous game cartridge I can recall is the 10.3x68 Magnum that RWS introduced about five or six years ago. It was not designed solely with DG in mind, RWS viewed it as a modern 10.3mm (.413") for those cantons in Switzerland where this is the minimum caliber allowed for hunting.

    Dangerous Game Brass & Ammunition In Stock

    Might be a long-shot but any chance you could get a hold of RWS ammunition or brass? Lapua (ammunition and components), North Fork bullets, and upper-end Sellier & Bellot ammunition (Exergy lines) are other products that come to mind.

    Elephant Cow Hunt Tuskless Or Tusked Plus Plainsgame Zimbabwe 2023

    Wayne, Is there a chance you would have any Tsessebe on quota in this area? If you do, would you mind my asking what the trophy fee would be in 2023? Thanks.

    Westley Richards Synthetic??

    Find that I am not entirely outraged but can empathize with those who are. I would love to be able to purchase the stock, even as an un-inlet unit.

    Lighter made in USA 9,3 bullets!!

    Cutting Edge offers 200 grain and 210 grain Raptors in 9.3. Hammer Bullets has a 240 grain mono-metallic (copper). The CEB bullets are interesting to me as I just picked up a really nice Huskie 146 chambered in 9.3x57 and feel those weights would lend some versatility to the shorter case...

    United announces new EWR-CPT non-stop Dreamliner Flights

    Love that there is another option of getting to Africa directly from the U.S. One thing that sticks out is the arrival time in Cape Town - 6:00 PM. That likely means you will need to overnight there before connecting to other destinations, even within RSA. Wonder if that would complicate...

    Free Range Plainsgame Hunt In Zimbabwe 2019

    Wayne, Very appealing offer. Any Tsessebe and Reedbuck available on or near this area? If not, how feasible would it be to work these two species into the safari? What are the Trophy Fees for these two species in 2019? Please let us know when you have a chance.

    KLM begins flights to Windhoek in October

    Old thread revival but just noticed that Euro Wings (low cost carrier affiliated with Lufthansa) is starting non-stop seasonal service to Windhoek from Cologne this Summer (July). Really attractive fares +/- $500 from CGN to WDH. They also operate from a few U.S. airports so, depending on...

    Judging Roan Antelope

    Some terrific Roan pics. Love the secondary growth on a couple of those mature old bulls. Roan is the trophy I seek most. Hope to be able to hunt one in a free-range setting someday.

    400 H&H

    Jacques, Good info, thanks. I have my mind set on a 400 H&H and have been acquiring the needed components over the past couple of years. The last piece I need is a barrel. H&H used the .411" but would a .410" barrel work? You mentioned Barnes as a source for brass. Is this available...

    KLM begins flights to Windhoek in October

    Will let folks know how things go as I am headed to Namibia next month on Condor. Will be taking a somewhat similar route through Germany as Air Namibia - Frankfurt/Windhoek (going) and Windhoek/Munich (returning). The KLM route does not seem appealing to me. The Dutch rifle transit permit...

    Rand continues freefall

    The Euro is currently sitting at ~ .92 to the USD$. What are the chances African outfitters will take the exchange rate into account for their American clients? American hunters should start looking at booking through European agents to get a more favorable rate.

    African Hunt for sale

    OK, so reply to the request for additional information. At what auction/event/raffle/whatever was this hunt offered? What further Terms & Conditions are attached to this hunt? In reading through the details of this hunt, this is a money-pit, IMO. There is nothing attractive or worthwhile...

    African Hunt for sale

    Not only this, but these charity/raffle hunts are hardly ever bargains and rarely offer any value. (Makes a lot of sense, as why should we expect outfitters/operators to provide anything worthwhile on the auction scene? Does not make any business sense.) In looking at the outfitter's website...

However, last year I had the chance to participate in a Group Buy for Zastava Mauser 98's and ordered a 9.3x62. This rifle effectively made the...

    SPIRAL HORN SPECIAL..........Eastern Cape

    What's the ultimate African species to hunt?

    I find I am drawn more to the exotic, hard-to-find Plains Game species, rather than DG. Of course, I would like to hunt several species of DG and hope to have the opportunity to do just that someday. However, PG species like Roan, Damara Dik-Dik, Black-faced Impala, Cookson's Wildebeest...

    Andries, Nice to hear from you. Yes, I am a big Pinot Noir fan. As a matter of fact, I just attended Oregon Pinot Camp a couple of weeks ago. If you enjoy Pinot Noir, this has to be considered one of the premier events for Pinot drinkers. Where did you visit in the U.S. to make Pinot Noir?

    Hunting Roan Antelope

    Terrific info. Christophe. The only PG species that is more desirable to me than the Roan is the Mountain Nyala. Isn't the Roan the second largest antelope in Africa, behind the Elands? Anyway, a magnificent animal.

    Hunting in Uganda Suspended

    It sounds as though things have, more or less, returned to normal in Uganda. In addition to Lake Albert Safaris, Karamoja Wildlife is back up and running. My questions are this: What concession(s) and outfitter(s) were involved with the temporary ban? How long will the ban for the...

    Anyone have Burkina Faso experience they would like to share?

    Like you, I have not hunted in Burkina Faso but have looked into it and researched it some. It appeals to me for the same reasons that it does to you. One thing I did find that is quite interesting is that once you bag a big game animal, hunting stops for that day. This law is unlike any...

    Opinions between Eastern Cape and Namibia plains game hunt

    If hunting is your primary consideration, I'd vote for Namibia. Activities for non-hunters may not be like the Eastern Cape, especially in the area of Namibia that you're looking at. If you were further north, visiting Etosha would be an obvious choice but it's quite a ways from were you'll...

    Cost for Namibia airfare

    Meet-and-Greet/Rifle Assistance in Durban, RSA.

    Preferred Shot Placement

    For most Plains Game, I am definitely a fan of Position #1 on your photos and diagrams. The exceptions would be the smaller antelope - Dik-Dik, Steenbuck, Duiker, etc. To me, this is the safest place for a shot on an animal that offers that sort of presentation. Of course, not every shot...

    Nothing at this point but I'm still considering Aug. or Sept. in Namibia. A LOT will depend on if airfares return to somewhat normal rates AFTER the World Cup. While I haven't ruled 2010 out yet, realistically, it may not be until 2011 when I'm able to return.
