Every April I visit Johan Dreyer in Grahamstown (http://www.tuskerslodge.com).

The last day - I was lucky, and managed to come close to this bull.

36 m (y)

I was standing - watching him for some minutes - before I could aim the fibersights on him.

The bullet hit the heart - and he ran about 40 m.
The bullet was found under the skin - on the other side, and therefor it was no bloodtracks to follow.

The 240 gr. XTP looked as it always looks after the job has been done: Just like the Hornady advertise ;)
As you can see by the picture - it was a "bushy area".

Nice shooting.... 40 yards is a long way for a revolver.
 
Excellent... good shooting and beautiful animal.
 
nice shooting, good performance with that "lil" 240. it hits hard as loaded by hornady.
 
Thats a great looking kudu for Grahamstown area, congrats.
 
Beautiful animal, and excellent shot with open sights; congratulations!
 
Excellent shot!!! and a fine animal!

I've been practicing with my Superblackhawk .44 magnum but I'm very far from hunting with it (the core lokt 275 gr are too much for me I think)....probably need more trigger time with 240 grains before going up :cry:
 
Synergy, I agree with the trigger time... Where are you finding Remington 275gr Core Loks for your 44???

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
