Greetings from Cass County, Missouri, just outside of Kansas City.

I'm a passionate bowhunter (stateside) and rifle hunter (all over) - I hunt a lot of the Central and Western US and just returned from my second safari. I hunted Botswana with Tholo Safaris in 2011 and Harry Claassens Safari in SA a couple weeks ago. Would be willing to recommend either safari - really impressed with both operations. Was fortunate to take several great animals and generally love my time spent on the African continent.

Also a big fan of classic safari books - read most of Capstick, Boddington, Bell, Selous, Ruark, Patterson, etc. I've shot all my African game with a 30-06 in both Remington 700 and Savage 116. Currently working on specs to build a 275 Rigby caliber on a Mauser action. Plan to go back in 2017 for buffalo and lion, so will be also building a 375 before this trip.

I'll post pictures of some of my hunts in the near future, but here's a SA waterbuck I shot a couple weeks ago.

Appreciate the AH community - learned a lot about safaris by lurking before and after both of my trips.

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!
