    I'm not aware of any other AH members, but I was in Houston Safari Club for 10 years so some may belong I am unaware of. Here is part of the story on that elephant hunt... My picture shows the H&H 577 double rifle I owned and foolishly sold. I obtained Kynoch brass from David at Kynamco. I...

    Are pictures showing terminal effects of shots frowned upon? I am always interested in how the firearm actually performed. For instance, I shot a large tuskless elephant that was running with a 577 solid. The elephant heart was so large that the .585" diameter bullet actually passed through...

    Typical Limit to Number of Times .470 NE Brass can be Reloaded

    My picture shows the H&H 577 double rifle I owned and foolishly sold. I obtained Kynoch brass from David at Kynamco. I believe this was newly manufactured at the time I bought it in 2005. I probably shot that rifle 400 - 500 times using the same 60 cases and never lost a case due to case...

    Searcy Nitro 577 Express would like to sell

    Searcy Nitro 577 Express would like to sell

    I'd give you $15K for that rifle in a heartbeat - but couldn't live with myself for cheating you so much! The starting price on a new one WITHOUT the side plates is $25K. https://www.searcyent.com/classic.html Plus the fancy wood, engraving, and what looks like an Americase case. That is...

    I'm a new member on this forum but a long-time hunter. I've hunted Texas (of course), New Mexico, Montana, 6 times to Alaska, and 4 safaris to SA, Zim twice, and Namibia. I shoot 416 Rigby bolt and H&H .577 BPE for DG. I've taken a couple of elephants, a couple of buffs, a GM hippo, and...
