    Barnes 400 grain hollow pt. .416 rigby

    I shoot the Barnes TSX 400gr and Woodleigh's at 450gr. out of my .416 Rigyb. They both perform exceptionally well. The TSX wouldn't be my first choice for elephant, but I wouldn't think twice about it in a pinch. They penetrate and expand flawlessly.

    460 Weatherby Magnum Scope

    RIP your ears, but double up on ear pro with brake. But I would shoot it without a scope... If its bearable try Like Leupold VX6hd 1-6, Ziess V6 or V4, Swarovski i6 or i8. If its not sell it and get something else. I know Burris and Vortex have some long eye relieve scopes for slug guns you...

    416 rigby or 416 remington?

    I have taken my 416 Rigby on four trips to Africa. I love the round; it hits hard and shoots flat. (With a 200-yard zero, shooting 300 yards is pretty easy for a larger Plains game.) I have never had extraction issues; my only complaint is that the rifle is rather on the heavy side. After ten...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Has Anyone Hunted With Bayete Group?

    Hi Guys, I think the Statute of Limitations is up, but yes. Bayete got sideways, and then Covid Killed effectively them, from my understanding. I have worked with all of my clients to recover Trophies, but they pushed me out before it got bad… I lost about $50,000 in commissions and more from...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Has Anyone Hunted With Bayete Group?

    Hi Guys, They are a great group to work with. The experience was good enough that I started repping their hunts. (Full Disclosure) I am their dangerous game guy. So if you want to take this with a grain of salt feel free, but I am posting this as someone who has gone through the anxiety of...

    Pet peeves?

    I hate when you see a hunter who can't even load their own guns, let alone shoot accurately tell you that they stopped a buffalo/lion/hippo charge at 3 feet. I hunted ducks with a guy who did this. (He was the boss of one of my hunting buddies.) (He swore he was a huge hunter, hunts everything...

    ZIMBABWE: Leopard Charge My Nightmare In Zimbabwe

    So random question, am I the only one that thinks that when following up on leopard it would be a good idea to have a guy with a 12ga loaded with OO buck for just such an occasion? Not trying to nitpick, just curious. I am glad everyone is alright!

    The shoulder carry

    So call me crazy but I use the over the shoulder carry all the time. My experience has been that in the more open country I can keep the rifle off to the side of everyone else in line. This essentially points the muzzle in the dirt about two feet left and three feet in front of me well off the...

    I saw so much of this in Tanzania and Kenya... Most of the people who do this are bird watchers. SOme Lilac breasted roller or cory bustard would come into view and they would go crazy.... Meanwhile a leopard was stalking a gazelle 50 yards away behind them.

    300 Gr TSX in the .458 Win Mag?

    Hey Guys! As some of you know I finally finished my .458 Win build. So far the gun is sweet, but I have only been shooting 500-510 grain bullets out of it. I am starting to have enough brass to think about reloading for it. Does anyone have any good 300 grain loads worked up? I'm think deer and...
