Welcome from Bartow County

So, I'm the "gentleman" Andrew62 mentioned (gentleman is a stretch) who purchased his Sabatti 9.3x74r. It was regulated with 286gn RWS factory ammo which is all but impossible to find stateside, so prior to working up loads I took a run with some factory ammo. Federal Premium with Swift A Frame...

My deepest condolences, having lost my hero also, I can empathize with you but no one every truly grasps the feelings you have with your particular lose. I pray and hope that you are reminded of him each time you go to the field or look at a trophy you shared or just the experience of the...

Well it’s hogs on the Ga coast in a few weeks and chasing reds and specks with a 6 weight in the marsh. I’ll be back in SA spending time in the Kalahari and Limpo in July and August. Then dove is right around the corner in September with Marsh Rails on the full moon flood tides. Deer and pigs in...

This is brother/sister combo Rudy and Mazie....a fine pair of Jack Russell's. They just hit 1 year old the other day and are already doing really good on blood trailing and recovery. They found their first deer at 7 months old. But where they really shine is following me around, being under my...

Just so everyone is on the same page about 41J and counterpart, on the Delta 350-900 there are three variants of that plane with three seat map versions. You can go on the particular flight and see which version is used for that trip on the day you book. The 35H plane version is the one with the...

I wear cowboy boots every day, various brands. Justin ropers, Dan Post, Lucchese, several pair of custom made from various skins I’ve harvested and Chippewa snake boots while hunting down south and Texas. Africa I’ll wear Courteney’s and Jim Green.

I’ll take them

Limpopo 2023

I’ve worn some brand/style of boot every day professionally since 1980 and each is designed for specific different purposes. As far as Africa goes it is hard to beat Courteney’s design (I own 4 pair). However, I also have a pair of Russell PH’s and recently I’ve been wearing a pair of Jim Greene...

A gunsmith buddy turned me on to a product called GUN SAV'R Gunstock Finish Hunter Satin. It's in a spray can and I got it from Brownell's. I picked up a beater Winchester 70 375 H&H that looked like someone had used it as a boat paddle, stock was sound just looked rough and needed re-bluing...

I use Trijicon RMR and SRO on my work pistol and rifle respectively daily. The majority of my personal self-defense weapons are the same setup, so I'm a big fan of Red Dot Optics, especially Trijicon. I've got RMR's on my Sabatti 9.3x74r and 12ga doubles, however the majority of my hunting rigs...

Happy Resurrection Day

My PH handles the paperwork on his side for me before I arrive. I’ve done it in the past and didn’t have a problem though.

I run a Trijicon 1x6 Accupoint on my Winchester 375 H&H. For my buffalo I kept it on 1, for my PG I turned it up as needed. If you’re taking a 100 yard shot on buff, I think you’re safe to turn it up.

I’ve used Air Tags since the technology came out and while I’ve never had to use it, it’s a good tool if/when gear goes missing.

We shoot a bunch every year and cook'em all for the most part. Every now and then, we'll get one that has been fighting and is gamey from cut's/infection and we'll kick those off in a hole. My wife would rather have wild hog than any other game meet that I bring home. Our southern pigs are...

I am in need of a Gun Dealer who can assist with shipping a rifle to a gun dealer in South Africa. This will be a permanent export to my PH. Please reach out of if someone knows of someone with experience please let me know, thanks.

Excellent day!

Barnes TSX 300 gn in my 375 H&H on my buff, no pictures of the damage but heart/lung one shot piled up in about 70 yards, recovered round under the skin far side.

It didn't happen if there's no pictures!

I'm a couple of hours away from Atlanta and will be attending the DCS while it's here. Also made SCI this year since it was right up the road in Nashville. I've attended/worked SHOT where it's a known commodity where to stay/eat/get around and having hosted numerous conferences in a former...

I’ve used both and still do. I’m running a Winchester 70 also and my 165 and 180 loads both group properly with only a minor dope change between the two. I use the 165 for WT down south and Tx and the 180 on WT up north and on Plains Game in Africa. I’m fortunate that my rifle likes both.

I acquired a Sabatti 9.3x74r double with a Trijicon RMR 2moa red dot this past fall for still hunting/stalking. Since then its taken two whitetail and two hogs. It will be going with me to SA in July and plan on using it this fall on black bear and hogs. I’m waiting on a 30-06 I recently ordered...

If I hadn't of just bought another Win 70 in 30-06 a couple of weeks ago, I'd be all over this. GLWS

Courtney Leather zip ups and I’ve also got some Boyt Harness canvas ones as backups. I prefer the leather as I’ve pulled them up to cover my knees when crawling.

I try to target mature animals and at this stage in life, those past prime. One caveat that I'll throw out for consideration, keep in mind the overall realistic size/quality for the area you're hunting. This past deer season here in Georgia, I drew a quota hunt tag for one of our coastal barrier...

Does anyone know of a source here in the US for RWS ammo? Specifically looking for 9.3x74r.

Lon my rifle is 1” at 50 yards with the ammo it was regulated with and just over that with Federal Swift A Frames. My point was and is, with various ammo you get different results that can be all over the place….which was the point of the question. I am very familiar with Ken and his excellent work.

In my Sabatti it’s all over the place. Federal Swift A frames almost identical but everything else I’ve tried I get varied results of anywhere from 2 to 10 inches difference at 50 yards

Hyde Hunter….. used Zingela Forwarders. Good communication every step of the way.

Trijicon 1x6 Accupoint

I received my crate from SA in November 23. 9 euros (buffalo, eland, kudu, Gemsbok, nyala, Impala, Springbok, blue and black wildebeest) springbok and blue wildebeest tanned hides. Airfreight to Atlanta and Coppersmith fees $2700.

Welcome aboard Andy! I run your ghost ring sights on a number of my lever guns and love the product. Looking forward to hearing and sharing stories with y'all.

Looking for a TuffPak 1050.

Good for you, I’m looking for the same Tuffpak 1050

Randy Grey at Adairsville Armory, Adairsville Ga Bartow County

I’ve read this thread with amusement, specifically at the number of “outdoorsmen” who advise there’s no need to carry a knife. While we all have our opinions as to whether an edged weapon is needed, the documented facts are that many individuals have used them successfully in defense of life...

Barnes TSX 300 grain in 375 H&H Winchester 70, one shot Cape Buffalo kill at 25ish yards. Shot was point of the shoulder and lodged under skin far side after passing through both shoulders, perfect mushroom.

Welcome aboard from NW Ga….Airborne and Semper Fi!

Welcome from NW Ga. You’ll find plenty of good info and general good natured folks around here.

This is my current pack of Jack Russell’s, 10 month old brother/sister Rudy and Mazie. Both are already doing great at blood trailing and doing well on dry tracks also.

jimbo1972, welcome to AH! I’m next door in Euharlee, give me a yell.

Welcome aboard, I’m in Bartow County.

I have a 9.3x74r double by Sabatti, very accurate and handles very well. Can’t go wrong with this option.

I run LVPO’s on several bolt guns. I use Trijicon exclusively due to their reliability and durability….. bet my life on their products at work each day. I’ve got an Accupoint 1x6 on my Winchester 70 375 H&H that I use in Africa as well as an Accupoint 1x4 on a Marlin 45-70 for bear. Both are set...
