Winchester 52, Anschutz, Kimber Super America...all 3 of those shoot better than you can hold with good ammo. The Coopers are also excellent.

Any of Mike Venturino's books or Paul Matthew's books on the subject are very helpful on BPCR shooting, cleaning, reloading, casting, etc. I refer to them often.

It's worth the wait. I love the Shilohs and have a few. Find some brass and hang on to it! Looking forward to your photos.

Good looking #1s. I hunted last year with a guy who has over 400 in his collection. That 300 H&H is classy and would cover a lot of hunting options. Someone here needs it.

Thanks for posting this topic and you're right not to give out more info than necessary. We look forward to hearing updates as you can offer them in the future. Rhinos are like living dinosaurs to me...and we need to help them as you are doing. The parts I've been personally involved with are...

One of the most gut wrenching things I have seen is the aftermath of a female rhino poached for her horn and the baby is trying to nurse afterwards....very dark...very wrong.

Rhinos are awesome creatures...nothing like them and so iconic of Africa. Nothing moves like one either.

I love being around them on the big ranches in Africa. They are fascinating.

I took a work team through Doha to Thailand. We bought water bottles next to our gate at a kiosk behind security. They ran a 2nd screening at the gate and took our water bottles bought right beside the gate.

I will take the Zambia, Ethiopia and South Africa titles as discussed offline.

I have a 257 Wby R8 barrel, partly due to influence of Ross Seyfried and partly due to our @One Day...and I look forward to trying it out. I have no reason to doubt their experiences. Hopefully, I don't cut the little guys in half!

If time is less of an issue...or you have lots of air miles...or you want to layover and visit something...then you have lots of options. If you want to get to Joburg ASAP then Delta is the main option these days.

One thing I’ve learned is that I don’t like airplane food. It just doesn’t agree with me so I take a bit of food that is bland and agreeable and pass on the rest of it. The flights are so much better without an upset stomach! Also take some Imodium with you for the start of trips that have...

I started going to Africa years ago on Delta from ATL...tried a few others in between and then went back to the long haul from ATL to JNB. It's my preferred route.

For PG, I feel the 300 win mag and 180 TSX or TTSX has been very successful for me on a range of PG. I prefer a heavier caliber for eland but in a pinch, I could make the .300 work there too...not ideal but it can do it. Of course, it's heavy for T10 but stay behind the shoulder and you can...
