I’ll be there, looking forward to seeing everyone

I drive Ford diesel pickups and Toyota/Lexus SUVs. I had a Yukon for a bit, was a piece of sh!t.

I have a Leica 2-10x with a lum reticle. 2x is fine for very close up and 10x is more than enough for 300+, which is a hell of a long poke for a 375 H&H.

I agree, I tell my outfitters in Africa I would like some good quality coffee, they always make it happen. A couple years ago,@DALTON & YORK SAFARIS had their cook hand grinding beans every morning, it was local Zim coffee beans and it was very good. Any outfitter should be able to source some...

Couples years ago I was dealing some chronic sinus issues, I ended up at a ENT center at Mayo, they did a another round of allergy testing on me, I've had a few before and I am allergic to the standard grasses and a few trees. But this time I had one spot that just blew up on my arm, it got so...

I have a couple of DD rifles, they are all super accurate and great rifles, but the stock trigger is insultingly bad. They should just ship without one if they can't do better.

As for off the self part of question, I would say LMT MARS is really outstanding right out of the box. They have them in 6.5CM, 6CM, 308 and 556. I also am not sure what way out there means to you, but a 77gr smk out of a 18-20" barrel is a damn fine killer for a hell of a lot of yards. My...

I would not, but I also would not worry at about having a .416 Rigby in a 22" barrel. That is plenty of barrel in my opinion.

The 30-06 would do everything you need, but that I get that isn't the question. As fast as load development, for a hunting around, if I get under an inch, and I have the SD I am happy with, I rarely keep going.

I have never had them check the head stamp, but that is one of things I wouldn't gamble on. I have seen agents in Africa take 5 minutes to count 50 round of ammo that was in a plastic case that was 5 rows of 10..... You never know when you catch the wrong on the wrong day, I try to make sure I...

I use TSA locks, the locks are all for show, there is no benefit to using a heavy lock. I use heavy locks in my real life for a variety of things, but on a piece of luggage isn't one of them.

https://www.simplyrugged.com I would call Rob and ask what he could make for you, super nice man and his holster are the best, or damn close, to the best I own.

I fly out of STL also, I have really been thinking about taking this route, please let us know how it goes. Looking forward to the hunt report.

You can bring bullets and/or brass, but I would not even begin to think about bringing loaded ammo with no accompanying rifle.

If I were starting that load workup at home, I would likely start with RL15 and then quickly move to Varget or 4350 if I wasn't getting something going pretty fast. If your listed powders were my only choices, I would probably just start with Varget and run it up to the upper end and then stop...
