Choosing the right bullet is not easy either, as it has to be suitable for both PG and DG. However, this should not to be a too big problem, because any bullet caliber 375 suitable for buffalo is also suitable for PG.

Unfortunately, there is no ideal zeroing distance, and also no general rules regarding shooting distances, whether for PG or DG. It is better to use different rifles. In all cases, compromises have to be made with a rifle that has to be versatile. Therefore, it is best for Africa to zeroing your...

Have you asked him? He does a lot of custom work, but I don't know about the legal aspects for export. https://www.triebel-guntools.de/en/products/cardridge-bearing-reamers/

I have a choice, it is not always easy.

Reading your posts, I discover more and more cartridges caliber 458. I have known the cartridge 458 African for a few years, also the cartridge 460 G&A, but both only by name. Two weeks ago I got to know during a hunt the cartridge 458 Express, a slightly longer Lott, a cartridge which was...

In the eighties and early nineties, we did not have many DG cartridges to choose from besides the 375 H&H Magnum and the 458 Winchester Magnum.

We needed this cartridge 10 years earlier, in the nineties it was too late.

Unfortunately, this cartridge came onto the market at a very bad time, just as all the old classic cartridges were being revived. Many of us wondered back in the nineties what Krieghoff was thinking when they designed this cartridge. It is not a bad cartridge, but the competition is too great.

Steyr Daimler Puch manufactured a lot of Mannlicher-Schoenauer rifles in various calibers, but according to several catalogs from the past, never one caliber 9,3x64 Brenneke. An inquiry by Steyr was without results, as no one there seems to know anything about what was produced previously...

The Mannlicher-Schoenauer rifle caliber 9,3x64 Brenneke, but I did not shoot the buffalo in the background with it.

As I have mentioned on the Forum several times before, I also own a rare Mannlicher-Schoenauer rifle caliber 9,3x64, but a Model GK not pre-war.

It is always interesting to see where such rifles were proofed. I own a Model 1905, but it is caliber 8x57IS. It should normally be caliber 9x56 MS, but the proof marks indicate an initial proofing in Austria in the 1920s and an additional proofing in Belgium in the 1930s, where a barrel change...
