    Ease of converting 9.3x62 to 9.3x64 Brenneke

    The master say no ! Preferring the 9,3x64 Brenneke cartridge over the 9,3x62 cartridge is a very good idea, but having a mediocre rifle made in this caliber is a bad idea. The 9,3x64 Brenneke cartridge is a high-performance cartridge that show its potential in a rifle designed for it...

    Ammo boxes

    Good advice, but unfortunately hunters often don't take it seriously because they have had until now no problem for crossing borders with ammunition in very different packaging. But just because it worked a few times does not mean it will always work that way and at some point you come on a...

    Loading your double

    When the buffalo or the elephant comes in your direction, the two cartridges will end up in the dust very quickly. Also, I don't know how you can shoot a rifle with recoil if you also have to hold with the left hand two cartridges between your fingers. It is terrible what nonsense some authors...

    Loading your double

    Something like that is certainly not meant seriously. In the evening after hunting, around the campfire and after a few drinks, each of us tells stories about various shooting and hunting practices.

    Guns Of The Belgian Congo

    I once came into contact with the Dumoulin company when I bought a DR caliber 600 Nitro Express. The rifle in very mediocre condition was sold to me as being made by Dumoulin. I called the Dumoulin company by phone to describe my purchase, unfortunately the company told me that they had never...

    Buffalo rifle show and tell

    An interesting question, but we unfortunately are getting off topic. I shot water buffalo in Malaysia, where these buffalo are sometime attacked by tigers, meaning they knows predators. Nevertheless, I had the feeling they were easier to kill than their African cousins. I also noticed, based on...

    So dumb questions about the 375 H&H

    I looked at the Seekins Precision website. The rifles are from current production and for this reason it is the 375 H&H Magnum cartridge. It would have been different if you had bought an old rifle from the early 20th century. In this case doubt was be possible.

    Buffalo rifle show and tell

    I have never done anything like that in Africa, but I also always do that in other countries when rain or snow is expected. I don't know if it is really useful.

    Buffalo rifle show and tell

    Even obsolete rifles with the nowadays very unpopular German trigger would be used. Here a rifle caliber 11,2x72 built 1924 by August Schüler in Suhl that also worked.

    Buffalo rifle show and tell

    We can also talk about all kinds of rifles that have been used to shoot buffalo. There will surely be as many rifles as there will be buffalo hunters and not always what has killed a buffalo is a buffalo rifle. I shot this one with a combined rifle calibers 12/70-9,3x74R, a rifle normally not...

    Buffalo rifle show and tell

    I am surprised that you have not received an answer yet. Normally, you are overrun with answers to questions like these and unfortunately, in the end, you still don't know what a right buffalo rifle should be. In my opinion, there really is not such a thing. The caliber and the cartridge choice...

    Hunting in Europe

    As @mark-hunter hun wrote, If you ask about hunting in Europe, you have to ask about game species and countries. The differences in hunting practice are great and local traditions also play a major role. Despite that many countries are members of the EU, there are still many differences...
