My rifle builder/custom loader just asked me to check around and see if anyone is interested in some FACTORY Hornady ammo in 416 Ruger with 400 grain Hornady DGS solids. Another customer of his got a nice surprise from his wife, who bought him 9 boxes of 416 Ruger Hornady DHS ammo. Only problem...

Yesterday was a good day, as I finally was able to bring home my trophies from my Cameroon Savannah hunt last February. However, the ordeal associated with Mayo Oldiri Safaris, then with U.S. Customs really tested my resolve. Were it not for really wanting my Lord Derby Eland, I’d have told...

I saw news on an other forum where Guy Whittall, owner of Humani in the Save Valley Conservancy, was mauled badly by a leopard. He is scheduled for surgery tomorrow but they expect he’ll be OK and should recover. A dog they were using to track the cat was also mauled and with a veterinarian...

I just returned a few days ago from another great hunt with Alan Vincent. This time we hunted Lord Derby Eland and a few other plains game I was interested in, on the Mayo Nduel & Mayo Vaimba concessions in northern Cameroon. The genesis for this hunt started back in 2021 while Alan and I were...

I just returned home last evening from a successful Lord Derby Eland hunt in Cameroon with Alan Vincent. I flew Turkish Airlines, and while both Emirates and Qatar are a better overall experience in my opinion, Turkish was pretty close. Turkish is very diligent in handling firearms and...

Now that I’ve been back from Tanzania long enough to be over the jet lag I thought I’d share a report on my just concluded hunt with Alan Vincent on his new Selous concession, MA1/Madaba. In a word, it was Fantastic! I liked hunting Mlele 2 years ago, but I like Madaba a lot more. Madaba has a...

As my son and I prepare for our upcoming hunt in the Selous, we’ve been out shooting our 375’s & 416. Usually we practice off Gunstix (which are excellent, if you haven’t tried them) at 50-100 yards. Today we changed up a couple things, going from a standard ‘Shoot & See’ bullseye target to...

Last weekend I was participating in a Mzuri Safari Club fun shoot at one of our member’s ranch. I was shooting the .375 H&H I recently had built and experienced a problem I’d never seen before, a full Case Head separation! I was shooting some handloads with a 300 grain TSX pushed by 70.0...

Today was a good day, as I just picked up a 375 H&H I had built. It’s based on a pre-64 express action, 24” Shilen Stainless Select Match barrel in #5 contour, Hi-tech fiberglass stock (almost identical to Brown Precision), Timney trigger set to 3 lbs. and topped with a Leupold VX5HD in 2-10x...

As I’ve gotten older I’ve tended to shoot fewer and fewer of my rifles, and have gotten to the point where I only hunt with my Model 70’s. I’ve got a pre-64 in .264 win mag, a post-64 .338 win mag and a pre-64 .416 Hoffman. All 3 are as close to identical in setup as I can make them. All have...

Well known and highly respected PH, Paddy Curtis, was murdered in his Bulawayo home in early morning darkness. Apparently, he opened his door to let his dogs out and robbers were waiting outside and ambushed him. He was able to send out an SOS for help, but they arrived too late. He was found...

ive been a member here in the past, but not active for a few years. I just saw a reference to Africa Hunting.com over on that other African hunting website, where I’m a regular. I clicked on the link they furnished about Bossie Mostert and while I was here, decided to activate an account...
