Amazing opportunity and congratulations to the winner. Have a blast.

I was pressed for time before I left for my hunt, so no time to get Peregrines in time and do load dev with them. I managed to get a box of ELD-X and they shot bloody well on paper and steel as I didn’t take 1 shot in the field on my hunt! I think I would be asking a lot to take down a Kudu bull...

The latter applies to me, so explosive bullets on small game (or any for that matter) are not what I need.

I did some introspection into the early hours of the morning, along with shopping around and came to the finding this morning that Nosler supply in SA is a bit iffy at the moment along with a lot of other brands of bullets. Hornady/Berger/Lapua seem to be the only bullets consistently being...

Some good information coming through - thanks. I’m desperately trying to find some 140gr Accubonds as they’re seemingly the most recommended for my application. That said, I’m not opposed to getting 140gr Interlocks for the sake of the soft point and availability though I have zero experience...

I’m really not looking (at this point in my life at least) to hunt animals further than 300m. Oh and correct on the .264 caliber.

Hey y’all I’ve got a box of Nosler BT 140g at home - currently the only “hunting” bullet besides a Nosler ABLR 120gr which is not going to work for a variety of reasons so we’ll omit those from the discussion. I’ve worked up some test loads which I’m going to go fire off soon in lieu of an...

In honor of Cal Pappas - NKWE SAFARIS What an amazing opportunity up for grabs. Any write-up with an NKWE Safaris hunt would be a great read!

“Just because” is why I’m doing this, ha! I’m all for taking vitamins supplements and eating a balanced diet, but if I can then heck, why not?

I’m onboard with the sausage making idea. I’m looking to do the same sans liver this year. As for capsule dosage, I’m not too sure about that yet, I’m sure a similar dosage to the beef liver capsules would work but I’m really not qualified in any way to make that call. If it’s a case of liver...

I’m local to RSA so no worries there.

To your point, just off the coast nearby me there were white sharks being washed up with no damage other than a big chunk of their gut missing. Turns out the sharks were being targeted for their livers by orcas, and it was consistent with every shark that was found on the coast. Pretty wild!

I can vacuum bag the liver at the farmhouse and take them home.

Hear me out. With the benefits of grassfed beef liver being all the rage now, I’ve been contemplating keeping the livers from my plains game hunt coming up next month. I can’t stomach cooked liver. I don’t know what it is, but be that as it may I’m considering dehydrating the livers from my PG...

The 375 will definitely make sure that whatever you point it at stays shot! I probably should have mentioned in my OP that I’m South African, so I just never knew my obsession was there until I met the right people!

Haha, I think at that point I’d put no more than 50 rds through that rifle at the range so I’m not completely sure what that 6.5 can do yet, though it wouldn’t have been my first choice for a hunting caliber despite quite a few positive reviews out there. Definitely one of the calibers that gets...

You’re totally right. There is a lot more reward going the hunting route for me personally, as the adventure, comradery of the group, and the people you meet along the way is for the most part better than the other option. I’m happy with my decision!

Picked up a pair of these Magnums in a pinch. I’ve worn them every trip so far for some seriously long treks and have been great.

Hey fellow AH members. Been trolling through these forums for some time and decided to join. Officially became a hunter at the age of 30 years old last year (my family was never involved with anything firearms/hunting related) and had a hard fight with a gemsbok and some serious bokkoors after...
