Thanks for the heads up! Got a box of 5,000.

Excellent decision!

Karl is damn good on leopard also. We are 3:3 on leopard with Ndumo.

Varget could also be a replacement for RL-15. I was having trouble locating RL-15 for a 9.3 B&M, so I referenced a few loading tables for somewhat similar cartridges that had data for Varget and RL-15. I found the data showed equal charge weights produced similar velocity, pressure, and load...

There are a lot of public hunting opportunities in Alabama if you are archery hunting, Especially if you have access to a boat. Most of the Mobile/Tensaw delta is under the Forever Wild program. I believe it is over 20,000 acres in that one area. Most of the public land hunting I have done...

I do not have a 416 Remington Magnum, and I have only taken a handful of Buffalo. In my little experience, 400gr Swift A frames in a 404 Jeffery and 300 gr A frames in a 378 Weatherby worked awesome. Others in our hunting groups have used Barnes TSX and the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullets...

Very nice!

My guess is Woodleigh 400gr RNSN.

It is really hard to pick a favorite. Buffalo, Eland, Nyala are definitely in the top of the rankings. Red Lechwe, Zebra, and Hippo would also be right there with them. One of the finest meals from game meat while in Africa was Hippo tail soup, which was more like a stew. Probably the best...

Buy insurance and take your own rifles wherever it is permitted for you to do so. The insurance through SCI is inexpensive, and I’ve heard from a thread on here recently that there are other providers even more reasonable. Nothing like taking your own firearms. Not that an outfitters...

I hate to hear that you were denied. I also understand your frustration. My father killed an elephant in Bwabwata in 2017. His permit was denied and was one of the ones in the lawsuit. He had given up on getting his tusks in the US. After he passed in 2022, my sister took the initiative to...

Nicely done! Leopard are usually not that cooperative. The Wildebeest photo is awesome. I love the sky colors in the photo.

Great to know that. Thank you. I’ll have to pick one up.

Get a copy of Pierre van der Walt’s book: African Dangerous Game Cartridges. There is a good bit of information on the 450 Rigby in the book, as well as info on firearms, cartridges, and bullet selection for dangerous game rifles. There is reloading information for the 450 Rigby in the book...

The medium insoles and the Rohner trekking socks recommended and sold by African Sporting Creations made the difference in all day comfort for me. I think it is the socks more than the insoles though.
