And for me. As a meat hunter. For boiler room shots. Among many other very well made bullets. Rhino Solid Shank. Rivets hugely larger than calibre. Retains petals very well. Suggest visiting the website for personal verification. I personally put two 300gr 375 Solid Shank bullets into a 25...

agree

Thanks for sharing. Respectful comment. A spear penetrates very well. Not only because it is heavy. But length in relation to diameter. 6,6mm Mauser/Swede. 140 grains. 7mm Mauser 170gr. 303 Britist 215gr. 318 WR 250grains. 375 H&H nowdays, 380 grains. 458. Not quite to the same degree. But 550...

PURE GOLD!

Brilliant! Long-for-calibre bullets penetrate like a spear!

Andrew62. I have for example contacted an outfitter in Namibia for a reason unrelated to hunting. The reply was busy hunting. Will respond after September. And although I agree the communication lines must be kept operational can I imagine that this walk of business have time to respond only...

Thank you.

What a wonderful testimonial Seth. York's talk and do. In total just relates to my personal way of wanting to be treated and experience. Well your money's worth.

It was a good hunt. Although do I appreciate my ducks well rowed at all times. And do not welcome an outfitter changing arrangements. Especially a designated hunting area 30 minutes prior to the last leg of a flight in. It does not go down well. At all.

All I can afford is YouTube hunting experiences. And from what I witnessed of the Dalton and York operation. Was impressive. No fancy bullshitting. A hard working and genuine operation. Enjoy!

Never a dull moment.

I'm so sorry outwestidaho! Maybe all so purposefully engineered by big "P" to bolster his shares in the oil business....... Only he knows. But. Enjoy. One day at a time!

Fascinatingly exciting. Pherose. Time is patient. Enjoy!

So is the rule-of-thumb to shoot low if in doubt very good advice. Thank you Frederick! Poets die blink kant. (Polish the shiny side.)

Perfect comment!

"a good chance of breaking the vertebra at the base of the skull" is of paramount importance! And. Without hitting a tusk socket is it. As stated. Most probable that a 45 cal solid at 2,100 fps will penetrate to the required location. Excellent point!

C W Richter. I am of the opinion that a paid hunt might be too much of a rushed scene. Limited time. it is said that one shoots elephant with your feet. Miles upon endless miles. All compounding matters. and the professional guide is human as well. And a business man. Bell says that "if you can...

Very interesting. Thank you for your contribution.

Thanks.

Note taken.

Thank you IvW

Yes CAustin. I can dream of a pie-in-the-sky of a perfect frontal brain shot. Although. If it is not presented. That is the exact short. And final answer, Thank you for your comment.

One Day... Your suggestion for home-tuition by means of this complete guide is of great value. Thank you. And your account of preparation towards your quest for zero defect. Certainly flawless. There is very few replacements for the self-acqusitioning of the most possible self-confidence. Thank...

Mr. Glass. At https://www.ronthomsonshuntingbooks.co.za is a book available named Mahohboh. Cereainly. As as regards elephant. And to my judgement. One of the very best tuitions available. For happenings in a more modern era. From the wanderings of an elephant hunter by WDM Bell is there a...

Totally out of my league. With no physical experience. Although. After a lifetime of studying shot placement. Concentrating on the stance/attitude/elevation of animals on nature programs for many hours. Reading all I could get my hands on and being privileged to visit one of the grossest...

Yes 375er. That occurs as well. 30 - 06. 55 grains in sabots. To 250 grains. Andrew62 has a nice balanced bag as well. 22Lr. .308. .375 H&H.

I've been toasted before for not stating, what I should have. So I must step gingerly. But if it is for keeping my family from starving. And elephant populations are a thousand percent and more overstocked. I would. For the record. Poach meat as well. But what burns my dirt is the trade in...

Only saw the second part of the reply now. Because of, mainly ignorance, am I questing for a 380 solid, while referring to mainly buffalo hunting. And I must confess that for quite some time was a crystal clear answer that a full magazine or 380 grain Rhino Solid Base bullets would not cause me...

Actually referred to the first steps with gun powder. Yes Ray B. I can not truly recall how many tomes 10,000 .177" pellets I fired off. My goodness..........

Bushby. Every single real hunter treading the earth started off with a 22LR. Including me. And overlooked when commenting here. Well done. Sir!

My word. What a beaut !!!!!!!!!!

oldfart009. In my bigamous setup was one of my first wives a 30-06. And still is. Although. I must confess that a 308. Does with 180 grain-. And lighter bullets. What the 30-06 does. With a lot less propellant. And as far as the Swede goes. In my language. Masterly.

Yes Darth. There is a a place for faster bullets as well. On the contrary. A much larger fraternity walks this avenue. Keep very well.

Yes. And not difficult to source. As well. https://m-net.dstv.com/show/carte-blanche/season/34/videos/poaching-pandemic/video

Fps was coined and imprinted into the psychic of the hunting world by a very good salesman by the name of Weatherby. And exploited to perfection. You can hit a squirrel with a field gun at 6,000 fps. And when your bullet placement is not secure. Spend the rest of your life on the spoor...

An And the 12.5 x 70 Schuler. Where did that go. 500 Jeffery ..................................... I maintain that if a product. Not one reverse engineered in china. Has a Toyota. Honda. Sony. Or other Jap brands on it. You can purchase it. To the very same token. Should any whisper of...

The reality. https://m-net.dstv.com/show/carte-blanche/season/34/videos/poaching-pandemic/video

Sarg I attained 2190fps with 380s. Bullet speed x bullet speed times weight divide by 450,420 2,190 x 2,190 x 380 / 450,420 = 4,046 fpe. And plenty for me. E.g. 300 grainers. 2,500 x 2,500 x 300 / 450,42= 4,162 fpe. A 500 grain 458 bullet at 1800 fps has 3,596 fpe. And my humble call, given...

Thanks Wayatt.

Thank you Hunter-Habib. Yes WDMB did hunt deer in Scotland for a long time.

What the Germans achieved with their cartridges is just outstanding. Even excluding the "S" and "S&H" versions. A plain and simple. But very extraordinary range of products. And not chasing un-practically high speeds.. Satisfied with what works the best. And most accurate. One must either be...

Hunter-Habib what I have experienced on the shooting range with 300 and 380 Rhino Solid Shank was phenomenal. Into screened dry building sand as backstop. Two 300s. One, After tooth brush-cleaning. 297 grains retained. and one 298 grains. Perfectly mushroomed. The 300s and 308s both. And i have...

Thanks PerH!

What a privilege. It is. Or was. CW Ritter. That. Specifically. Is when God says good morning to us. How truly blessed.

Rubbing a newly budded mopane leaf between thumb and index finger. And smelling the tupentine. Witnessing the birth of a new day. Very early on. The sound of a fish eagle. The Nightjar's "Good Lord deliver us" call. The snorting of impala rams. Day- and night time during the rut. Looking...

True Bob Nelson. Woodleighs Hydros are very good bullets. And regarding the Woodleigh factory fire would I very much like to hear what the latest is? A Woodleigh-direct report was that their packaged stock was burnt. But that they have stock. But still on drums. And will supply in future...

But it is reported that he was well befriended with Col. Whelen.... This why I am of the opinion that he was well aware of it. But the mention of doing it in the most economical manner just about answers it. Also did WDMB mention categorically. That he never, But ever had a hang up or misfire...

Yes. he polished a penny before parting with it.

Quite so.
