    270 LRX in 375 Ruger on game up to Buffalo

    I’m planning to try that bullet in mine as well. Once I can acquire more brass I’m planning to start load development.

    Montana Rifle Company TSAVO in .375 H&H - Shooting!!!

    When will we be able to start placing orders for the .375s? Tsavo and/or Brooks. Will they be rolling out at the same time?

    Caliber recommendations

    Agreed. .25-06 was my first center fire cartridge and I’ve had a soft spot for it ever since. I don’t think it gets the attention it deserves.

    I have 2 Stainless Stalkers. One in .280 Rem and the other in .25-06. I load my own ammo and use 160 Nosler Partitions in the .280 and 110 Accubonds in the .25-06. I’ve had each of the rifles for 8-10 years plus and I’m not sure Browning even chambers for those cartridges anymore. I have no...

    Caliber recommendations

    Like others have said, Hornady is fine as long as you use their CX bullet that is loaded in their Outfitter line of ammo. If that doesn’t shoot well, try another bonded or mono metal bullet like Barnes TTSX or LRX, Nosler Partition, Accubond, or ETip, or Federal Terminal Ascent. X-Bolts are...

    Caliber recommendations

    I’d choose the .300 with a good bullet. TTSX, A-Frame, or a heavy partition. Both my brother and I have use my .300 Win Mag with 200 gr Partitions to great effect. That load works well on everything up to and including Eland in our experience. I’ve also had great success with a .30-06 with...

    Montana Rifle Company TSAVO in .375 H&H - Shooting!!!

    I’m really looking forward to getting one of these. I got to handle a prototype .375 at SCI Nashville and was very impressed. The custom options are very interesting, as there are few little things I’d like to add. My son and I have the exact same initials, and I’d like to get one with gold...

    7mm/08 for Plains Game? Good or Bad?

    As you’ve mentioned, use your .375 for the big stuff. The 7-08 will work great as well. I’d use the 140 TTSX that you mentioned shot so well. My dad has used his .270 with 150 Partitions to cleanly take Kudu, Sable, Zebra, Blue WB. No reason that similar results can’t be had with the 7-08.

    Why did you buy a 6.5 Creedmoore?

    I ended up with mine simply because the rifle I wanted could only be found in that chambering. I’ve always wanted one of the older Weatherby MkV Outfitter rifles from their custom shop. I happened to come across one that was NIB at a good price. It was in 6.5 CM, so that’s what I got...

    300 WSM for Kafue sable and roan

    Use it as is. Sounds like a great setup!

    Into The Thorns

    I just spoke with Jay and was added to the list. He seems like a great guy. I’m looking forward to reading both Thorns and Drums, as I requested a copy of that as well. Thank you for all of the information!

    Help me decide: which Plains Game Bullet for my 7mm-08?

    If I were taking my 7mm-08, and use the 140 TTSX if it shot well in my rifle. Also try 140 Nosler E-Tips. For lead core I’d try the 160 Partition.

    Age of first African hunting trip

    I was 41. Celebrated my 42nd birthday there the day before flying home. Going again in a couple months, and already have a deposit down for another trip in 2026.

    7mm Rem Mag

    I’m planning to take my 7 REM Mag to RSA this June. It shoots 175 Partitions very well, so that’s my planned load for plains game.

    What binoculars do you use while on Safari?

    Leupold BX4 8x42’s went with me on my most recent trip to Limpopo. I had no complaints at all, and plan to take them again this year.
