Hey Steve, welcome to AH!

Nothing wrong with joining more forums—just means more great conversations with like-minded folks. Nilgai in Texas is definitely a solid hunt, and who knows? That dream of Buffalo and Leopard in Africa might just become a reality one day!


I’m really into reloading as well—there’s something satisfying about fine-tuning loads to maximize a rifles true potential. Looking forward to hearing more from you!

I absolutely love playing with loads to get it right. One of the joys of retirement. also love examine recovered bullets for weight retention, expansion and penetration.

That's is fantastic, I always enjoy hearing people furthering their knowledge in ammunition.

As a 07 FFL weapons manufacturer who specializes in ammunition, I've spent a lot of time on learning and developing ammunition for various reasons.

Do you focus on any specific caliber?
 
Depends on what rifle I have at the time. Started with a Remington 760 30-06. I remember when my buddies with iron sight 35 Remingtons bet me I couldn't hit the 1 inch bull at 100 and kept laughing until we walked up and there I was in the black! 25-06, 6.5x55, 300 Win, 7 mm Wby, 45-70, 338 WM, 6.5x55AI, 338-06, 6.5 PRC , 6.5 Creedmore, 22 Hornet, 223, 22-250, 280 AI, 9.3x57.
My financial situation has dictated having to trade to get the next projest so now I just have a 338-06, 280AI, 6.5x55AI that I shoot regularly.
 
Plains game packages can be done for $5K (or less) all in (including air fare from US east coast) except taxidermy. Four animals. You will see 100X more than what you can shoot.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
