Instead of a South Africa and Tanzania combo maybe consider an own use/non-exportable buffalo in Caprivi price would be under $10k. Plenty of tourist activities and national parks in Caprivi after your hunt.

I have no doubt you have more experience with bullets with anyone on this forum by a large margin, but the tone of your posts doesn’t help your message. Do you go around lecturing the PHs who recommend you only carry premium softs for buffalo? There are less and less PHs every year that...

I would deal cautiously with this member. There appear to be some suspicious posts.

Good question for @Tundra Tiger

He was referring to a different operator on his hunt. I think you’d have to look hard to find someone who wasn’t happy with CMS.

You’ll also get a nice dark green CMS safari shirt at the start of your hunt. They are one of the best outfitters I’ve hunted with and Nyakasanga is supposed to be amazing. Hope you have a great hunt.

You should consider leaving the solids if you only want to take one type of ammo for buffalo, only bring premium softs. Solids don’t kill as quickly as expanding bullets. A good broadside shot with a premium expanding bullet will put a buffalo down quickly. That same shot may turn into a long...

I do what my PH tells me to do, but on tracks I’ve always carried my rifle with round in the chamber so far. If we are just going to glass, the magazine is full and chamber empty. If we spotted an animal from the truck, it has depended on the situation whether I load then or wait. Showing good...

These bullets look really impressive. The cutout is similar to TBBC but the mushroom is really different. I spoke to PHs that only had positive things to say about them. I wish they had a distributor in USA.

Great roe buck congratulations

As a trophy I only want a bull or a stallion. For meat or bait I have no problems hunting either though. Something about a cow gemsbok just isn’t the same trophy to me. I think the mass of the bulls makes a better trophy as well over the thinner horns if the cows even if they might be longer...

I’d say quite a difference to a bullet that explodes on impact with limited penetration vs a bullet that deposits it energy over the full length of the vitals. Energy alone doesn’t kill but it speeds up the process. I’d compare a swift on the far side of the animal that came to a stop vs a FMJ...

I also like an exit hole and better blood trail many cases. However, it’s the bullet velocity that makes a pass through. Energy is calculated from velocity and mass. The formula for kinetic energy is 1/2*mass*velocity squared. If a two bullets leave the muzzle at same velocity but one exited...

I have not shot the oryx on game, but I’ve used the Swift A Frame in my 300 H&H on 3 safaris. The swifts performed picture perfect and always straight line penetration but you won’t get the big reaction on a hit from the animal you’d get with more rapidly expanding bullets. I recently stocked...

Interesting. Very surprised on the buffalo pass through. I would choose the TBBC over Swift A Frame but I’d still put them in same category. I’ve had perfect performance from both but the performance at full muzzle velocity from TBBC impresses me more. Neither are particularly accurate in my...
