    .375H&H Barrel length… what say you?

    35 Whelen or 300 Win??

    Given you are taking a 404J I would select the 300 WIN simply for ammo availability but the 35W is a very capable round! If you were taking a 375 then the 300 is the winner, if the big rifle was a 416-458 then the 35W would make more sense! Bottom line take what you shoot best and have fun...

    Proper Gin and Tonic

    Gin makes my joints hurt like it takes all the lube out! and so I'm a Bourbon drinker. In Africa usually means bring my own or drink what ever scotch or Irish they have! Some of the local beers cold work too and most of the pre-covid dry red wines from Africa are frankly very good, so a single...

    Best calibre for Giraffe

    There are a lot of factors involved in shooting a giraffe. The first one I shot was a large mature Bull, who had an attitude and it already hurt a couple of locals on a bicycle the day before and was pretty much beating up every female in the herd and it chased off the only other bulls in the...
