Howdy.

I joined the forum because there is some really great information here for all aspects of Africa Hunting.

I am a hunter, target shooter, reloader, and wildcatter. My handle ".30 Hembrook" is the name of my Wildcat. It is a .308 caliber, based on the 9,3x64 Brenneke case. Typical loads with 165-180-200 grain bullets put it in the 3300, 3100, 2900fps range respectively.

I had Dave Manson create the reamer, McGowen the barrel, and fitted it to a Dumolin Mauser action. I took it to the Karoo in South Africa this year and as you would expect it performed nicely on game.

I have had a couple other Safaris in South Africa and Namibia.

Glad to be a part of this community!

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!
