G'day from Australia

Thanks for the welcome!

Heading to South Africa with Somerby Safaris for 7 days in April.

The main target is a Kudu (very original I know) and anything else will be based on what presents itself while on the hunt.

Travelling with a toddler and 3 guns (competing in the world trap championships before the hunt so taking competition shotguns as well as my hunting rifle) so it's a pretty big trip logistics wise but I'm sure the experience will be well worth the effort!

Hi from Australia!

First African Hunt coming up in March so had to join the forum. Looks like a great resource and can't wait to draw on the wealth of knowledge that's clearly available.

Cheers mate,

From sunny (not so much lately) Wagga Wagga.

Taking my Christensen 300WSM. A little worried about using the ELDX's I normally use in Africa but the outfitter assures me they'll hold up just fine.

Going to be hunting in Limpopo.

I was born bred and raised in Wagga mate. A great place to grow up in the 60s and 70s. Now it just like in big city. A shithole. I left there in 1976, 1979,1982 and again in 2001.
I still have a few mates and a sister down there.
Went to school at Mount Austin primary and high. Koringal high had finished building when I left school in 76.

Welcome from Vic.

I'd be interested how you go with a toddler. I haven't travelled with our little one but it may be on the cards in the near future.
 
Welcome mate! I'm also heading over in March. Plenty of Aussies here!

Hay, Hell and Booligal. Spent a bit of time in the late 70s shooting pigs out at Hells Gate. Wasn't hunting then it was just shooting there was that many.

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!
