I have a leopard hunt in Namibia later this year and planning to take my 338 WM. Most of the ammo I have on had are 225 gr Swift A Frame hand loads. Not wanting to use the tough SAF on a cat, I was think of buying a few boxes of Remington Core-Lokt and call it good. I did a search on Ammoseek and found them available for about $48/box. Just on a whim, I searched on Norma and came up with a really good deal for 230 gr Norma Oryx. Thought I'd pass it along. I ordered 5 boxes to get the free shipping when over $199.

This is my first time to deal with Kir Ammo, out of Fort Worth, TX and they appear to be legit base on a number of reviews I've read.

Just had to highlight that irony.

I'm taking my 404 J for the big stuff and the 338 WM for the cat and PG. The 375 is staying home.

I actually took the Leica Magnus scope with illuminated reticle off of my 375 Ruger and put it on my 338 WM. Since both rifles are Ruger Hawkeyes, the scope with Alaska Arms quick detachable rings easily came off one rifle and onto the other. It required only a slight adjustment at the range.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
