My name is Greg. I come from NE Arkansas and have lived here my entire life. I been a ER nurse for the past 21 years. I joined this forum several months ago, but this is my first post. I have never hunted out of the US and to tell the truth I've barely hunted out of the state of Arkansas, but I have deer hunted in Ohio for many years.
I have hunted ever since I was a little boy and have always dreamed of hunting in Africa. Next year my daughter and myself are planning a trip to south Africa for a plains game hunt. I handload my own shells and have for the past 38 years. Since the first of the year I have been working up loads for our rifles we will take. Hunting around here cup and core bullets work just fine, but from what I've read about Africa requires a much tougher bullet. I believe Swift scirocco's and Nosler partitions is what we are going to use. As you can imagine I will have tons of questions over the next few months. From reading the posts on here i can see there is some very experienced African hunters on here. I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi.
