Post Script, I was able to match the factory Norma 156gr Ammo with a 44.5gr load of IMR 4350. Out of my rifle I was getting 2412FPS and the factory ammo was 2416fps.

Sorry to jump in so late. I recently went through this same thing with my Sauer Drillings in 7x57r. I found that the Norma 160gr tipstrike, Oryx 156gr, and Hornady ELD-M 180gr bullets were the ticket. I found for "Long range work" 300 yards with my 1-4x Zeiss on this particular gun. The ELD-M...

Not too shabby!

I shoot the Barnes TSX 400gr and Woodleigh's at 450gr. out of my .416 Rigyb. They both perform exceptionally well. The TSX wouldn't be my first choice for elephant, but I wouldn't think twice about it in a pinch. They penetrate and expand flawlessly.

RIP your ears, but double up on ear pro with brake. But I would shoot it without a scope... If its bearable try Like Leupold VX6hd 1-6, Ziess V6 or V4, Swarovski i6 or i8. If its not sell it and get something else. I know Burris and Vortex have some long eye relieve scopes for slug guns you...

Hi Guys, I think the Statute of Limitations is up, but yes. Bayete got sideways, and then Covid Killed effectively them, from my understanding. I have worked with all of my clients to recover Trophies, but they pushed me out before it got bad… I lost about $50,000 in commissions and more from...

Hi Guys, They are a great group to work with. The experience was good enough that I started repping their hunts. (Full Disclosure) I am their dangerous game guy. So if you want to take this with a grain of salt feel free, but I am posting this as someone who has gone through the anxiety of...

I hunted with them in November 2018 and I am going back with them July 2019. They are a great group to work with.

I will have to check. I know we are 3 hours outside of Joburg

Hey Getting ready to leave on Tuesday for South Africa. Do you have any recommendations on who to use for Taxidermy?
