African Dangerous Game Cartridges - Pierre van der Walt

I am looking for a copy of this book also, see some correspondence from Shakari Connection which may be of assistance to others.
Unfortunately postage charges of up to $240AUD makes for an expensive book for me.

I have the ebook as well. For the most part a great resource but I could not make any sense of what he said about the Weatherby double radius shoulders resulting in a case that are "prone to splits across the shoulder and neck". Certainly not my experience nor those of my friends who shoot with Weatherby cases.

His study of terminal performance of various types of bullets is certainly the most comprehensive that I have read. I was shocked that unless a bullet shortens dramatically upon entering game the physics say it will most likely flip! Bullets that don't shorten are called "solids" so it was especially shocking in a dangerous game context. Enlightening!

I guess that is why modern solids now have a flat or concave nose.

For me, Ebooks for things like this are the way to go, at least until I’ve read it once and decided if I want to spend the big money on a hardback copy. The copy for my Kindle was $9.99 (same as the other high dollar safari books). Only downside is that the tables are blurry.
 
Good book and a constant reference for me. I also have the African Medium Game Cartridges book by PVDW... also useful.

So do I, great books
 
If it works out and can be arranged, I would be interested in all of the above books if someone manages to be in a situation to bring some to the US. I know I won’t be going to Africa this year. I’m optimistic I can get there in 2023, but it may not be that soon either.
I have 7 hard back copies

I bought a great deal of the brass he had for sale, plus I already had many hundred rounds.

How much brass are you looking for?

Hi Green Chile, I just recently bought a 470 NE barrel for my Thompson Center TCR 83-87 single shot. Im just looking for some 470 NE to shoot at the range just to try it out. I dont need anything special but I just wanted to see what you have left. I dont necessarily even need a full box.
Thanks
Bill
