Here is one I might let go… HH

So that is an interesting question. Which powder uses the least amount of grains to achieve the fastest speed? Myself I’m still shooting cutting edge 500 grain safari solids and want to get 2300 fps. My intention is to get performance with less recoil if possible. Any suggestions from the...

Always love reading a good adventure and congratulations on a beautiful Leopard! HH

Well…45 ACP is a good round and I have 5-6 versions of them in different configurations. Great against humans but not against thick fur heavily muscled carnivores(But much better than spray). I won’t go into a lesser cartridge like the 9mm as it is quite ineffective against Black bears(I know...

Heck of a boss on that Cape! Congratulations on a great buff. HH

Bases on this test I would choose the 570 Grain for the intended purpose. Seems to have similar penetration to the 600 Grain with better expansion. HH

The shot will be typically be inside 100 yards. I have successfully used both: Swarovski Z8i 1.7-13.3x42 - 4A-IF Leupold VX-6HD CDS-ZL2 2-12x 42mm Rifle Scope - FireDot Duplex Both are excellent and purchase from @markbiggerstaff who gives excellent pricing. HH

Bullet is always chambered safety on in almost a dozen safaris. HH

1150 fps out of my Glock 8.4 gr Power Pistol(Not recommending anything but this works for me) HH

Congratulations on a great Safari and a well written post. Love the blind! HH

Sorry but there is no Fu**ing way I’m hunting in Russia with the current political climate/wars. You’re both lucky to be home. Congratulations on the bears. HH

“Variety is the spice of life” I am a certified gun enthusiast..nice way of saying that I have a problem. I’m now to the point where I purchase the rifle and then plan the adventure I’m taking it on. Range day yesterday with the 458 Lott: HH

Nordiske 4-Legged Shooting Stick I have only found these in South Africa but love them. HH

It’s important to shoot those cull Kudu so thanks…what a Stud!

Life members x 2 on both. We used to go to both but last couple of years and going forward will be Nashville. Not an Atlanta fan… HH

Thanks Michael. Will get going on these loads shortly and report back. HH

@michael458 , When developing a load for the 458 Lott, I decided to go with the CB 500 grain solid and the 470 grain Raptor. Do you recommend establishing the fps on the solid bullet or do you use the expandable speed and hope the solid hits at the same point? HH

Incredible deal! Good luck with this offer. HH

I use this sling when tracking game in Africa and have found nothing else that is as practical for my purposes: Boonie Packer Safari Sling When it’s more of a spot and stalk then I use this: Kodiak Air Rifle Slings HH

I’m just unsure about how it would be seen at Frankfurt airport security. Maybe some other forum members have done it and can provide input. HH

My problem is transiting through Frankfurt and don’t want to leave the airport with scopes in my backpack. I would anticipate problems coming back through security that I’m trying to avoid. I have the larger case configuration as a fall back. HH

That’s the problem I saw as well. Not enough padding on the top and bottom for my comfort. HH

I’m trying to get 2 rifles, barrels, and scopes in the smallest case possible. HH

15 & 12 for my sons first safaris. I took them and my beautiful wife to Limcroma Safaris in South Africa. They still say it was favorite vacation! HH HH

Following with interest. I am assuming this is a pelican 1700 case? HH

Prayers to Michael and the family with hopes of a speedy recovery. Special shout out to Washington! HH

At 10 1/2 pounds she's going to get your attention. HH

What bolt head and magazine insert did you use for the 404Jeff? Been thinking of having a barrel made and wanted to know. HH

404 Jeff - 400 grain CEB solid 458 Lott - 500 grain CEB solid 505 Gibbs - 600 grain North Fork Solid 577 NE - 750 grain CEB solid HH

It does in the R8. I can’t imagine much difference but a quick call to Blaser would confirm this. HH

Much respect to the 35 Whelen but not an Elephant caliber… HH

When Michael starts posting I just read it and buy whatever he suggests! To much experience, knowledge, and wisdom in his posts. Thanks for all the information. HH

The only problem with R8’s is that you keep buying more…getting ready for Namibia. HH

Thanks Anbessa, Phil told me quite a few people stopped by and liked the mount. I appreciate you posting some of the show pics. HH

Phil Soucy did mine. HH

Mistakes happen and I'm hopeful that the guy in Turks Caicos is released with some form of fine. The judge should look at intent in these types of cases. Clearly the person had no weapon with him and this was just left in his carry on. HH

Solid deal. HH

Just load from the top…pretty easy at that. I believe someone made a video but practice makes perfect. Just remember to push straight down and you should be fine. HH

I have purchases several blanks from this place. https://www.gunstockblanks.com HH

The 577 NE is the stopping caliber that all others are judged against. Cutting Edge has an interesting 650 grain solid that I’m going to be working up some loads on later this year. HH

Sorry for your loss Toby…I lost my father 7 years ago and still think about him quite a bit. I’m sure your father is looking down at you from heaven content with knowledge that he raised a good son. RIP. HH

Tholo Safaris is a fantastic Outfitter. Top notch the whole way! HH

No problems with the 3 R8’s I own. Ridiculously accurate amongst all the combinations I have. HH

My 458 Lott gives but a gentle push and I really enjoy shooting it. Fires a 500 grain pill at 2300 fps and hits very hard. HH

Botswana and Conservation Force is handling mine as well. HH
