Keith, Hopkins and O'Neil fame, or OKH as some know them by. A sometimes amusing look back at yesteryear on safari.
I’m trying to stay positive in the face of impossibility! Besides, apparently one can’t hunt DG in Africa with a .338 anyway? Archery and crossbows, but no .338? It is/ will be (depending where you live) 2020 soon, so maybe some positive things will happen in this arena? Who knows? Anyway, thanks for taking your time with this thread! It is a great hunting account from bygone days!Too bad Kenya has been close since the late 70's. Likely never reopen again.
Very welcome! A friend send me this by paper copy and I figured the members would get a kick out of it. Brickburn advised me on the best way to present it. How times have changed from back then, a mere few years before I was born!Thank you, thank you, thank you sestoppelman, this is awesome.
Its been done before with the .338 WM. Not sure the current situation but I bet some country there would still allow a buff or lion hunt with one. I am a fan of it also.I’m trying to stay positive in the face of impossibility! Besides, apparently one can’t hunt DG in Africa with a .338 anyway? Archery and crossbows, but no .338?

Awesome shot and bullet performance!Thank you, thank you, thank you sestoppelman, this is awesome.
One wonders what he would have thought of the 250 gr TSX and 225 gr TTSX...
I used to shoot the 250 gr Nosler Partition in my .340 Wby and moved to the 225 gr TTSX. Amazing performance...
