CAustin I have had much the same experience with 350 grain hollow points, when I switched to the Woodleighs I found they drilled straight through the Pigs and Goats making far less mess and leaving me with an edible animal. Which countries allow a lever action or is it just SA that prohibits...

Hi Rich. Have you still got that Starline 45-70 brass? I am in Perth and can pick up no problems Chris.

I had to go to 3 different shops to get the range of ammunition I used, there is plenty of good quality standard velocity target ammunition available in Australia at the moment, it does get a little bit harder to get a wide variety of the higher velocity stuff. though. There was a time not too...

There is no outfitter to name, I didn,t use one without going into too many details. I had originally planned on 14 day spearfishing trip out of Inhaca Island Mozambique for Dogtooth Tuna and had booked and paid for someone to film the trip. When that fell through at the last minute I asked one...

I wont say I wasn't a little concerned with the situation but it takes a lot more than that to get me Pi##ed, besides the guys did everything they could to get me to my flight on time and I was not out of pocket at all so I wont complain. I have had a lot worse over the years, and you have to...

We went through Hotazel, I had to stop and get a picture of the sign, I love road trips I think they are the best as you see and experience so much more.

Ok well I will try and glue them and see what happens, but they are totally split and I am not all that confident it's going to work too well.

Hi Guy's I am just wondering does anyone know where or who can make a replica set of tusks, I have some very old tusks and unfortunately they are split, and I would like if possible to have some replicas made. Regards. Chris.

Hi Guys I have just done some work with Trailboss powder in my .222 and thought I would share. I do a lot of reloading and I read quite a lot on the subject of Ballistics and I always read about people not being able to stabilize a heavy or longer projectile, yes a long VLD projectile is just...

As much as I would like to, I cant take all the credit for the Photos, though I did take a lot of them, the very best of them were taken by Jaco Vermaak and Greg Betts from ITZ media. I learned long ago that you often forget to or just aren't capable of taking the photos you would like to have...

Hi Guy's. I will most likely make the trip across from WA to Vic some time in 2016 to hunt Sambar, would anyone like to join me or meet up somewhere for a couple of days? Sort of have an AH get together somewhere, as I am travelling from WA I am open to suggestions as to where. Chris.
