    .404 Jeffery - To Scope or Not to Scope?

    You can’t go wrong with a 1x6 Leupold VX6 with fire dot. It turns your 404 Jeffery into a long range shooter and close bush gun. I used my 450 Rigby on a croc at 77 yards, Impala at 56 yards and Elephant at 15 yards. All well placed 1st shots because I had a bit of magnification!

    .500 vs .577 vs .600 NE

    I have a 500 NE and the recoil is at the top of what I can handle. I can’t imagine making sense of anything larger. For practice, I load 10% below minimum charge for the caliber. My low power practice lead cast rounds allow me to shoot 20-30 rounds during a practice session. It’s actually a...

    Barnes 416 TSX 350gr Bullet For Buffalo

    That is massive damage! What caliber? A 500 nitro express? It’s amazing to see the tissue damage and the bone damage at the entry. I am surprised that the lung tissue stayed in tack at the entry. In the case of my buffalo, most of the left lung disappeared disappeared. The 350 g TSX vaporized...

    Barnes Bullets for Buffalo

    Overall I am very happy with the bullet performance. The bull dropped and struggled to rise. The solid cut a straight line into the frontal entry and was captured by the 100lb of wet grass in his rumen. In retrospect I do not mind if the bullet tumbles after the 1st 24” of penetration. The...

    Barnes 416 TSX 350gr Bullet For Buffalo

    The distance was 80 yards and muzzle velocity 2550 FPS. The first shot anchored him, but he was struggling to get back on his feet! He was a tough bull. Bullet are cheap insurance, sometimes they just go down hard. It was a exciting hunt. I think 7 of the 9 solids exited. The one solid that was...

    Safari Optics question - Objective diameter

    For dangerous game hunting, low magnification is really important. A 1 x 7 power or the like, is perfect. The shots will be less than 80 yards. The bush is thick and animals will be hard to spot if the field of view is too narrow. For plains game a different set up for shots up too 400 yards...

    Kimber, Ruger, CZ in 416 rigby

    Have a CZ 550 it is ready to hunt out of the box. Any work done to it is a factor of vanity (which is totally okay).
