Hank Thank you very much for taking the time to share your adventures in such a wonderful and entertaining fashion. What a wonderful privilege you and your son had in spending time in extraordinary places here on our neck of the woods. These experiences are truly food for the soul for the years...

Colorado You give the speed for the 133gr load at 2626ft/sec and the 136gr load at 2328ft/sec. It should probably read 2229ft/sec? As I said probably only a typo. Regards Wouter

Colorado That 133gr load speed seems a little suspect? Believe it's a typo. Regards Wouter

Congrats Matt! Let the games begin!

Hi Gents As a fellow 505 Gibbs user I would like to elaborate on the cartridge design. Too be honest the case is way too big for the velocities at the intended maximum pressure. Reaching 2300ft/sec with a 525gr bullet at 39 000psi with today's powders leaves you in most cases with low filling...

Matt Congrats! Looks like a great companion on your African wonderings. I really hope that the rifle lives up to your expectations and dreams. Regards Wouter

Hank Thank you for sharing your hunt with us in such a delightful and entertaining manner. You really can consider quitting your day job whatever it is and taking up full time writing! Regards Wouter

Gents Am I the only one that had a little bit of a snicker when reading the heading of this thread? If I can give some advice and that is that when they cape the animal let them cape the whole skin. This will give you the benefit of options when deciding on a specific mount together with your...

Ronnie As I have said to you before you have been truly blessed with two such beautiful buffalo bulls on your first buffalo trip. Magnificent animals! Regards Wout

Hahaha. He was co-driver on a Zim and Moz trip and the verdict is still out on that one. I still can not get the nail marks out of my dashboard neither the dents in my foot wells. Resale value took a huge dump on that vehicle of mine but do you think will take up the shortfall? I have got a...

Simon Only in his mind. I do have a lot of sympathy for his poor wife though. How do you know something about Ronald? He tells you about it! Cheers Wouter

Hallo Ronnie I see that you finally made your way to AH. Guys you must really reconsider screening your new members. As you will get to know Ronnie this statement will start to make abundant sense. Chaps only kidding. Ronnie is a great mate of mine and we have shared some truly wonderful...

Pictures taken of the first 3 turn kudu I've seen in my life. Although it is deformed it still qualifies for this honor. It was taken before a big rabies outbreak in Tsumeb area in Namibia on my good friend Julio Lopez property. In the Swakopmunt Museum there is one that comes close but not...

Matt I see what you meant. There is absolutely no markings on the beginning of the shaft or middle. Extraordinary to say the least! Have you measured the bullets circumference by any chance? Regards Wouter
