@BeethovenHi All
Been lurking here for a while. Biggest thing I have ever hunted is rabbit. I live in South Africa and have just bought a .500 Jeff. My intention is to become a field guide on retirement
.
Welcome aboard mate. If the biggest thing you have hunted is rabbit then that 500Jeff is going to light your eyes up when you touch it off.

Yeah, he'll need to use solids in the Jeff for the rabbits. Barnes banded, CEBs or Woodleighs probably would be in order?

Welcome aboard Beethoven. From hunting nothing but rabbit to a 500 Jeffery is quite a jump. I'd like to hear the story / background behind your purchasing it. As Brickburn stated, you should probably get a smaller caliber rifle to gain shooting proficiency, I'd suggest something like a 9.3 x 62 in addition to the 22 LR that you mentioned. When are you planning to retire?

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.
Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?
Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
