I have one. I'm pleased with the fit and finish. It is very accurate with 300 grain Barnes as well.

We shot impala, Nyala and Bushbuck with 6.5 CM 143 grain eldx. Killed all three. Bullets recovered in 2 of the three and both were complete jacket and core separation. So successful but concerning. I am now shooting a bonded cartridge's from Norma in the whitetail line. Shot a whitetail...

My last hunt my PH gifted me a fixed blade knife that a friend of his makes, with a polished kudu horn and warthog tusk handle. I thought that was very nice and completely unexpected.

404 Jeffery, 15 - 400 grain Cup Point Solids and 14- 400 grain NF SS. H4350 powder for both.

This is my evaluation and not necessarily safe for anyone else. ok testing complete. I am settling on 79 grains of H4350 pushing a 400 grain Northfork SS bullet. 5 shot group with an average of 2275 fps and good accuracy. I also tried 81 grains. It had an average velocity of 2318 but not...

I have a model 70 375 H&H just got back from Africa. I had a Steiner 1-4 scope and it was fine. I have since moved that scope to my 404 J and purchased a VX 5 2-10x42 Leupold with firedot from Mark B. Mark was great to work with. The new scope will make the gun much more versatile.

In my rifle at 79 grains of H4350 and a NF 400 grain SS I recorded an average 3 shot velocity of 2267fps. 15 ES and SD of 7.7. Your mileage may vary. Should put me at 4524 ft lbs at the muzzle. Going up to 81 grains got me 2308 fps. SD of 2.5 and ES of 5. I think I will focus on 79...

375 H&H for me. It is one of my newer guns but I shoot it really well. It puts a smile on my face and animals in the dirt.

Thanks for all the replies! I just got back from the range. Used the Labradar for the first time. That will take a little more practice but I only dropped 2 out of 19 shots fired. It was windy and the unit moved a little off target, lesson learned. It is all starting to make sense on why...

I like Euro mounts! I have them done for most of my whitetails. I also have a Gemsbok euro. I think it looks cool. If fortunate I will probably have my future buffalo done Euro.

Ok don't kill me for asking. I see many people recommending 84 grains of H4350 with a 400 grain A frame. I can't find those bullets anywhere so I have sources 400 grain Northfork SS and Cup Point solids. I would like to use H4350 powder. The warning in the Northfork packaging about reducing...

The space in the middle is reserved for the buffalo I shot this year:) Planning on a shoulder mount and they take up a lot of wall space.

No sir. I used Chris at Wings and Things in Ham Lake MN. Chris has done whitetail's for me in the past and I was always pleased with his work. Chris is the one hanging the Kudu for me. He delivered and help me hang everything, great guy. Are you hunting with Tsala in SA or Moz? Either way...

Here are some of the trophies my wife and I took on our 2023 safari in South Africa. She must have had fun as we are rebooked with Tsala in 2027 in Mozambique!
