Hi, from Germany and Namibia. I hunt since child age and am always keen to learn more about the behavior of the animals. I like plains game hunting a lot but am also into big five. I would like to come into contact with hunters from Southern Africa.

Greetings Klipkop
(Alles van die Beste),

Khomas Highland Hunting and Fishing Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth

I advertise for and help arrange hunting, fishing and touring adventures for clients wanting to visit Aub Safari Lodge at Khomas Safaris (1.5 - 2 hour drive from Hosea Kutako Airport), but I live in Alaska.

The .375 H&H is my absolute favorite global hunting cartridge.
It is comforting to carry said .375 here in coastal Alaska, while fly fishing along our many salmon streams.
That is because this part of the world is home to some huge gorillas with knives on their fingers, that also enjoy salmon fishing.:ROFLMAO:


I have larger caliber and smaller caliber rifles but, the .375 H&H remains the very best one for me.
The one I have used the most is my
old Brno Model 602, with a vintage and simple 4x Zeiss scope, in steel lever rings.
When only fishing, I pop the scope off and carry the rifle with express sights only.
A local Gunsmith installed a large white (porcelain) front bead on this and other rifles of mine, for my old man eyes.

Also, I have a Ferlach Built (Franz Sodia) double rifle in .375 H&H but so far cannot get it to regulate properly with 300 grain and or 270 grain bullets.
(It is not marked for whatever load the maker might have built it for).:cautious:
Eventually I will crack the code, or my name isn’t Rumplestiltskin.:ROFLMAO:

Anyway, I am looking forward to your hunting and other adventure stories.

Waidmannsheil !
Velo Dog.

Welcome to AH, Klipkop

I’m based in the Grahamstown area of the Eastern Cape.
Animal behaviour is interesting, for sure! It’s important to understand this when hunting.
I’m really enjoying jackal hunting at the moment, and understanding their movements and cycles is fascinating.

Glad to have you on the forum

Best regards
Marius

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

Rifle is a Pierce long action, 32" 1:8.5 twist Swan{Au} barrel

Peterson .280AI brass, CCI 200 primers, 56.5gr of 4831SC, 184gr Berger Hybrid.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
