Sales tax counts, too. As do the taxes on utilities, phones, properties, vehicles, fuel, even your pets are taxed in a lot of areas.

As Habib said recently "sure, you can shoot the elephant with a bonded bullet, AFTER you know he is dead!" His skull is pretty thick. I'd use good solids.

Do not fire it! It could damage your 700!

I've made that mistake before!

Modern Sabatti seems to work fine

300 PRC would hammer plains game. Make sure your bullet is Africa appropriate. Ammo would have to travel with you. Buying 300PRC in Africa would be unlikely. Lost ammo can happen (only a few times, so far) but so can lots of other things! It's only a problem, if it's a problem...

Always use them when sighting in any magnum/heavy rifle. (Recommend doing everything possible to keep your brain from saying "this is gonna hurt" when in the field.) Never use them in the field.

The Rudolph's have worked for me on several trips. Would buy them again, but would compare to the rest of the market first.

PM sent. Good luck

Those are nice scopes!

Certainly we can man-splain the cost savings to our wives, but reality says to budget for the additional room added to the house with central heat and air, built in cabinetry and benches, additional presses, powder storage,,,,and other reloading "necessities". Besides, like I said, you do get...

Reloading won't save money, but you do get to shoot more!

What powders do you have available?

The convention center and hotels in Atlanta are first class. The people are 'Texas friendly'. That will be a great show.

Much better value to buy a factory rifle.

338/225tsx is a great combination

Welcome. Fun times ahead!

A CBL hunt would be exciting, just be sure you understand it is not the same as hunting lion in the wild.

Worst case, a slip-on butt pad...

I've never had anyone weigh my ammo, that I know of anyway! However, I would keep the total below 11lbs just to be sure.

This is how you test the operation of your adrenal system! Congrats!

Botswana?

Love that circle-dot.

Welcome to AH, have learned a lot from this group!

Welcome. Would love to tour the gunmakers of Ferlach!

Not many fences in elephant territory.

Great pic! Welcome

Lon, Is it possible to accommodate 2 hunters at the same time? 2 PH's? Same camp?

Grade 7 wood! Looks nice

Scopes in carry-on can raise eyebrows 1) if illuminated, and 2) if 'tactical' (military) reticles are present. BDC could be considered tactical.. Germany can be such a place. Pull the battery.

Form within form:

The Pro S listed in the classifieds could be sold w/o the barrel and with a standard bolt head...

470 NE DR w/RMR and 500gr solids or 500 Jeff w/RMR and 570gr solids Others will certainly work just fine, but it seems Elephants don't always pose for side brain shots. When do we leave?!

For comparison: Swift lists it for 300 A-frame Start at 73.9. Max 79.5

We'll be going to DSC in Atlanta.

Doesn't Jeff Rahn carry a 577? Not likely just because it weighs more...

Looks like this?

I use the 130 CEB solid in 6.5 for the tiny antelope. Very accurate, deadly, minimal cape damage.
