Yes it’s terrible, federal/ Speer can’t make some bear claws or grand slams for the USA market, and with Woodliegh still in limbo after the fire , swift concentration on small caliber , and basically all RSA bullet Manufacturing not having any distribution in North America. we have only barns...

That’s all fine and dandy, but the only country where you can actually get some is RSA

This whole jacket shedding post makes me nervous! I have 3 caliber’s shooting Norma Oryx and am seeing lots of destruction at exit but haven’t shot anything big enough to catch them for examination .270win 150gr for kudu and nyala, 375 300gr of buffalo was my plan now I wonder if I can whip...

I use H4350 in my 375 & .270win

Any chance someone can recommend mopane fly repellent my buddies wife says bring a headnet. Because they drove her crazy in Zimbabwe or they not really a problem?

Hola hermono near San Antonio & big lake Tex

I’m so pumped! It’s going to be a long year impatiently waiting to arrive

Kristianstad, Sweden Must be a hella nice place because they are churning out north fork bullets and Norma down the road with out substandard wages . if swift really wanted to produce they could bump up production of the Afram and tone down production of the Scirocco® II ( their meat & potato...

The evolution from round lead balls to cup-n-core went along with greater muzzle velocities. I think these bullets were ok at speeds in the low 2,000's, but once they got over 2,500-2,700 coming apart was an issue. Now, with 'magnum' being normal, bullets have to be tougher to withstand impact...

4 of us where trying to book a buffalo hunt with Wayne and haven’t had contact with him in a couple of months, last time I talked with him he was training at a police academy in Wisconsin? Maybe he has decided to try a new direction Since my last conversation?

I’m an ammo hoarder and bought a large supply of .270 win , .303 British, .300wm , 375 , in various brands, all of my ammo seems better structured/ bonded then any of the newer variants the ammunition companies offer now the .270 ( 150) , .300wm (180) , 375 ( 270) are all federal classsic(inter...

Crap !

Anyone? we still haven’t gotten a response from boss safaris, trying to reach him has seemed difficult

If it’s not a strong shooter ( 3/4-1 moa ) I would be inclined towards a 35whelen rebarrel

Wonderful news my 1957 m70 featherweight is a dream come true

It was a pleasure using them, .270win Norma oryx 150 have been hard to find ! And RRP had them and they are a sponsor here = double win

We been seesawing between Zimbabwe, RSA Limpopo, Namibia capri for a buffalo hunt ( with additional of opportunity ) in 2025 and talked with Wayne @ Boss and requested referances but haven’t heard a response yet has anyone hunted with boss ? it’s my first safari and my buddy 2nd and he has been...

Well that truly blows the donkey! it would make me extremely uncomfortable to send any gun parts to someone not within driving distance of my home, By someone I don’t have a personal relationship with! all of my compition shotgun , pistol and rifle metal work , has been done by briley in...

Any PG on quota there?

I scorn cbl hunters , because it’s not really hunting but ! the anti hunting fascist are lurking ”” First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came...

I think this is where my 2025 buffalo hunt is Timbavati ? I was heading to Victoria falls area , but wives are going with us and Zimbabwe lacks in activities for them ? we do daggaboy hunt then kudo & Nyla , waterbuck but am open for suggestions ( quickly before we send the deposit)

Also I think you can’t travel to different states with a firearm ( hunting rifle) without buying a license and passing a background check From where you are trying to travel ?? #2 Australia doesn’t recognize a USCG captain license and has wierd cabotage laws “”Cabotage laws apply to merchant...

I looked at Australia as a possible destination for retirement and just don’t have the 2 million dollars in cash to keep in a bank account in Australia as visa collateral glance at their current laws

Depends on if you still have the iron sights on it ( QD rings then)

They aren’t QD rings , tally think they “ might be defective “ and are sending a new pair but most of your instructions are correct, tighten bottom then tops in alternating pattern like a tire rim according to tally

I think an elephant caught up with their vehicle?

Yes red or green or plain reticle have no clue model ( as someone had it coated with the rifle it came with) and the make is covered

I have a 3rd gen 1 inch 3-9x on my 375

I don’t think there’s much difference between a .308 & .277 both are doing roughly 2800 fps with 150gr bullets and 3000 with 130gr

brand new tally rings and bases on my pre 64 m70 , leopold scope For some reason my scope is running out of windage ( it’s maxed out and still 4 inches wide) am I off geometry and need to adjust or something or should I ditch them and go two piece leopold dove tail , with the two screw...

^^^^^^^^ sound advice as a person who has had both tick fever and Encephalitis ( mosquitos )I definitely recommend spraying down socks and clothing with Permethrin and packing a bottle of deet to wipe down leg’s & arms to reduce the chance of ticks and I will probably be doing a round of...

Congratulations on your ibex and achievement any tips on overcoming the challenges you faced during the trip ?

Wth do the last 3-4 post have to do with hunting? nothing! topic Is blind or shooting from a truck not fat arse horse riding, lol , now carry on:)

I don’t think I would ever want to hunt over water or salt in a blinds ( except for crocs), or shoot hippo in water/ turtle hunting style , but would probably go with the flow if a kudo or hog was holding still if seen in the vehicle ( imo a truck full of people is a unstable shooting platform)

Uhgg you’re killing me , been waiting for one to come on market but was just gifted a M70 270 GLWS

Are African game color blind like NA game ? I think I remember reading somewhere about a PH that wore Hawaiian shirts. I know everyone wants to look and dress and feel the part over there

With me now taking a 270win , my mind is having a tug a war between taking 150gr Norma oryx or Barnes 130 ttsx ? Or maybe something else that folks have been successful with in factory load. kudo and smaller game as I will have a 375 for heavys. or will 150gr C&C like S&B , federal, Winchester...

And I bet still deviant as hell even @ 100+ years old if given a chance

“”I don't think i knew that Sig made a 375H&H. What model is it?”” I think it’s a sig Sauer elegance ,

I don’t have any experience with lions, but I’ve shot abundant amounts of game with Barnes , from white tail, nilgai, boar , black bear nothing that really bites ya , they have done a hell of a job on all my thin skin game using 308 - 375

He threw in a leupold VX-II 3-9 but kept the tally QD rings for his dads sig 375

My hunting buddy chad was showing me some guns he just inherited some mint condition shotguns and a fabulous sig 375h&h , then he pulled out a Winchester m70 pre64 270 and asked what do you think about her ? I love old school Winchester and “said wow I love those “ much to my surprise he said “...

Hola hermono

There is a video on YouTube of a guy hunting lion in RSA with a cross bow , first shot lion facing hunter, thunk right in the mouth/throat lion runs off , they walk up again & again & again, 4 arrows ;( , finally the lion charges and the three ph’s All shoot him with rifles ( & apologizing...

I am ok with it, those tags are abuse by lobbyists of the different foundations they represent, also states imo should not have slush tags for media influencers and YouTube channels, I remember when Randy newberg was getting paid by the State tourism boards to make content, the tourism industry...

I just bought a m70 featherweight 270win for $600 it’s a sweet little rifle as is my Remington 788 308win $500 a 30-06 would sling some 180gr better than a 308 imo but that’s subjective as 165gr ttsx makes it a equalizer i am fond of 8x57 and 7x57 also

Sous vide it in cajun spice rub or pork magic then sear it on a fire or in a iron skillet to finish it backstrap or a shoulder, smaller ham or parboiled In the trinity ( onion, celery , peppers) then finish on the pit

Texas has plenty same with Hawaii & comiefornia ( California) we got a great meat market in San Antonio that sells Cabra/ goat ready for the fiesta & SA has a halal market with goat for the Muslim population but our house likes goat Mexican style i am requesting in advance for our chef to serve...
