I don't know how many Warthogs and Gemsbok, as well as a Red Hartebeest. Hopefully going to add an Eland or Kudu to that list in the next few weeks.

I'm not 100% sure on laws, but I wanted to order bullets from Rhino Bullets in SA to Namibia. The Owner suggested sending them via Courier and it seemed like there wouldn't be any extra paperwork or anything (same when I ordered a Silencer from SA)

Quite honestly, I'd be interested in the .25 PRC if they got it to shoot the newer 130-135gr bullets at 3000-3100fps, but more for matches than for hunting.

165gr Nosler AccuBond, .308 Win firing around 2650fps MV. Under 30m on Gemsbok through a bush, Broadside shoulder and sternum. Recovered weight was 115gr, found in flesh under hide in front of off side leg.

165gr Nosler AccuBond, .308 Win firing around 2650fps MV. 140m on Gemsbok. Broadside shoulder, lung, heart. Recovered weight was 85gr, found between ribs and hide.

Hello everyone, my name is Marc. I'm 18 years old and am from Namibia. I've been thinking about becoming a PH or a Trails Guide for quite a while and have now decided to look into it much more seriously, now that my 19th is around the corner and I want to start doing something. I'd love to hear...

That sounds like it performed well for you. I'm beginning to consider the SSTs now..

That 150gr SST was also travelling (Hornady Claims, not actually tested) 3000fps at the muzzle, so at 60m it makes sense to flatten it! It dropped like a sack of potatoes. The lower neck was 'ruined', but still in tact, down to an inch or so before the back straps (fillets on the spine/ribs)...

This was the SST pulled from the Neck shot. Do you think there is a chance the jacket and core would separate on a Gemsbok, hitting Lung/heart?

I' I've tried the 150gr SST on Gemsbok, but on the first the shot was a bit too low - further than I thought it was. The shot entered just below the heart and barely clipped the bottom of it. It ran a fair amount and we only recovered it the next day (due to rain soaking us to the core) 400m...

Cool. Thank you Bob, this gives me lot's of confidence!

Mentioning accuracy, I've read that the InterBonds seem to be finicky, getting them to group well? I'm not really too bothered about getting the tightest group possible. If it's 1.5 MOA or better, it will be good enough for now.

I'm currently using InterLock Custom International factory ammo. Had good luck on a young Gemsbok Bull, leaving an inch wide hole through it's heart, making it flip onto it's back, though I feel I got a bit lucky on that one. You say I need to worry about Fragile bullets exploding on impact at...

I am just starting with handloading and am deciding on the bullet, before I jump in. The Hornady InterBond (165gr or 180gr) seem like the best "bang for buck", but I can't seem to find any recent reports on it's performance. This will be in a .308 Win, used primarily on Warthogs and Gemsbok...

I'd say the Big five are DG, in their whole own class.
