Just wanted to say hello.

I've dreamed of the dark continent for my entire life and it looks like I'm going to make it there for the first time this June/July. I found the forum very informative and cordial for many years with a great deal more camaraderie than I've seen elsewhere.

I hope to tag along for plains game while watching some acquaintances pursue big-5 in the Tuli circle this year. I'm a fair chase, spot and stalk kind of fellow so I hope it works out alright. I'm more interested in the kill it and grill it activities than bringing home trophy mounts but I'd be just as happy to be completely beaten down by wiser prey and leave with a light headcount.

Here's to hoping for a modicum of success and a lifetime of memories.
 
Welcome and have a great trip!

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
