Hello all. I am from the foothills east of Sacramento Ca. I am a retired Police Officer, avid hunter and shooter. I have hunted Alaska, Canada, all the western states and have hunted in Tanzania, So. Africa and Namibia. Glad to have found this group.

Welcome to AH gundog5! Glad you found us and looking forward to your input.
 
Foothills east of Sacramento? Up Hwy 50? We’re kind of neighbors.
 
Welcome aboard!

Hi Gundog! Welcome!
We seem to have much in common. I was raised in California in the Napa Valley. I moved out of the state many years ago, but my best buddy lives near Placerville. We used to hunt off of Hiway 50 and backpacked nto the Desolation Wilderness where we took several fine bucks over the years. I've hunted in Zimbabwe twice, once in 1983 and again I this year. Yeah, I know, that's 39 years between safaris, but I had to retire from the Washington DOC. Not exactly a police officer, but similar.
Nice buff, so tell us s story!

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!
