Here are my comments on the braas I use.;I have a handfull of R-P (remington ?) and RWS cases still in very good shape ; I have never shot more than 10 to 15 rounds ever with my 375 ( brno 602 action ) in a season ; it is very accurate ; both makes of brass have given me a couple of seasons...

Thank you for your reply and information !

Areas that in my travellings I have seen quite devastated by elephants : parts of satara area in the knp ; riverine areas next to chobe river in botswana ; mahongo reserve - in namibia;

I have used 180 gr factory ammo before in my 3006 musgrave but started reloading and get a better accuracy grouping with the 168gr tsx ; so these days I stick to the 168's and have taken from oryx gazella to kudu bulls , nyala ,bushbuck ,impala ,mountain reedbuck and warthog ; I don't know...

It is getting confusing at times whom to believe ; however one thing I can say -the one I cannot trust is little tedros from the WHO ; he must have known long before february 2020 about the happenings in Wuhan ; well, his masters at the CCP knew about it ( as demonstrated by the epoch times...

I am not in favour of shooting apex predators ; but that is my personal own belief ; I have had some good and close sightings of lions in national parks across south africa and southern africa. Best experiences though were in the central kalahari game reserve (came upon fresh spoor trying to...

Hunting at night in mozambique was very popular in my school days if one wanted meat ; in the mid 60's we would ask the warden of the area and he would advise what type of small game and quantity allowed eg rabbits ,duiker, impala ;a spot light was used to locate the game . I have also hunted...
