Just got back from a hunt in South Africa, found this forum and wanted to introduce myself. My girlfriend Tina and I had the hunt of a lifetime and a second hunt is already in the works. I'll post pictures in a separate thread. BTW, my real name is Darrell, but I go by skydiver386.
 
Thanks Krish. I saw the CZ 550 pair you had in .416 and .450 Rigby. Had I seen that in time, I'd have been on those like a Hobo on a Hotdog. I want a nice stout rifle for my next hunt, and that .450 would fill the bill.
 
:S Welcome:
 
G'day from Australia Darrell.

Cheers Chris

This is my Kudu taken after a hard stalk. Where should I post the pics from my hunt?

Many add them in a hunt report.

Some write it up day by day. Leaving us in suspense for the next post or day 2 story.

I think there is a gallery section too.
 
Welcome to AH Darrell! Glad you found us.

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!
