I had the opportunity to try Hornady Interlock 300 gr in Africa several years ago. I shot 11 elands, 9 impalas, 2 kudus, 2 warthogs, 1 oryx and 1 leopard with them. Because they are not bonded bullets, I decided to make a sedate recipe closer to the 9.3x62 than to a full horse power .375 H&H...

I have hunted just over 500 big games in Africa, because I was lucky to get great deals for culling/management hunting, and with many calibers, from .223 Remington up to .470 Nitro express. But I would say my first choice for plains game will be the same than yours. I really like the .300...

It makes me think to this video : The full video

Hello PeetMeech I used them in 2017 and I shot several plains game with EXR bullets but not enough to have a strong opinion on them. I didn't buy factory ammos, I just purchased bullets and I reloaded them. All the bullets went through animals, except one in an oryx with a quartering away...

I have had the opportunity to use two brands of bullets in Africa with my .458 Lott so far. The first one is Barnes that is known by everybody. But at that time, I loaded a pretty lightweight bullet for the caliber, because I used the TSX 350 gr. It worked great on plains game from warthogs...

Some very nice photos and stories about this animals. Thank you for the sharing. I know a PH who charged baboons, just because he was scaried to see people who wanted to hunt only this animal, thus he would not get a lot of money at the end of the safari. But when he knew me, he told me to...

Is there someone else who likes to hunt baboons ? It might be a tricky subject because I met people who refused to shoot them, because they look like to humans, while I met others who absolutely hate them, and even more some farmers living close by. Baboons are crop raiders, goat killers and...

Don't worry, I have left a couple of them for my next trips and for my fellows as well :giggle: The last one I saw through my scope ;) But if you have the opportunity, do not hesitate to try Hyena hunting. These critters are just incredible.

Despite a lot of training, I miss from time to time. I'm just a human and not a machine. At home, during summertime, I like to hunt foxes and I kill between 15 to 30 animals a year. However, I have never had a year without a miss or two, and sometimes more. The last animal I missed was a...

If I have to keep only one scope, It will be my Leica Magnus 2.4-16x56 with its BDC turret. It has a huge field of view at the lower magnification, an incredible glass for low light conditions and also a very good after-sales service just in case. I had a little problem with its illuminated...
