I got permission from Jerome to post this. I hope it is helpful. It covers my first buffalo hunting experience.

This is a Sabatti 470 NE ejector rifle that I bought from a member here a few months ago. It was re-regulated by Ken Owen's. It is in good shape with a couple of handling marks. I installed a new Falcon Strike recoil pad. At the time there wasn't any brass available so I bought 120 rounds of...

I am a point in my life where I know than many different solutions work, so I don't have those arguments with other people anymore. It is pointless, as people will believe what they want to believe. However, I do have those arguments with myself...............CONSTANTLY. I have been a fan of...

I recently finished the hunt of a lifetime where I shot a cape buffalo and a Roland Ward eland, plus some small stuff. Of course, I immediately gained more lifetimes..... :cool: Earlier this year I bought a 470 NE, a Ken Owens regulated Sabatti. This is my second re-regulated Sabatti. The...

I need to know the diameter immediately in front of the belt on unfired Norma 416 Rem brass. It may allow me to save my current barrel. All I have now is Remington 416 Rem brass, and as I have seen with other cartridges, Rem brass made 20 years ago is sometimes below min SAAMI spec, which...

Just got back from my first safari. Limpopo in South Africa with Red Sands Safaris. I am sure there are thousands of safari stories like mine and thus not a need for another. That said, I do have some observations that might be a worthwhile contribution here. My primary objective was...

My trip to SA is in about 3 weeks. My journey getting this rifle ready has been interesting. Here is the load development part of it. The rifle is a CRF M-70 that started life as a 375HH stainless. I also acquired a new CM factory takeoff barrel in 416 Rem and had it installed. This was...

I purposely left the magazine of this rifle unmodified to ensure reliable feeding. I swear the ones I have opened up and installed the Wyatt's 3.825" mag box work better than this factory Winchester. This rifle started as a stainless synthetic 375 H&H. Many years before I had my own lathe...

I am going on my first Safari this August. Cape Buffalo in Limpopo. This has been on my bucket list for 30 years. It is a consequence of working where I do. A PH in South Africa connected with my company, several of us are going, and the plan is to do podcasts daily from South Africa. I...

7 unopened boxes of 50, 350 total. $325 Shipped.

Anyone have any?

Getting out of the 45 Cal bolt gun game. These numbers are accurate to the best of my knowledge. I did hand count all the open boxes. The Hornady bullets are not bonded so I have priced them appropriately. They would make good practice loads. 500 DGX 50 500 DGS 100 500 RN 45 450 TSX 198...

These are two more from my personal collection. These are rifles I bought for various reasons and have not shot them. Shipping and insurance will be $100 per rifle to the lower 48 US via FedEx. They will ship from Unknown Munitions (I am the GM), but Unknown Munitions has no involvement other...

Sorry I don't post on here very much, but I don't have time to post much anywhere anymore. I am the GM of Unknown Munitions, and it keeps me busy. I have two M-70s for sale. I have resisted posting them here because I have such a low post count. However, this is the group most likely to have...

I have been searching and haven't really found this addressed. Almost all my hunting rifles have 13.5ish LOPs. They are all very comfortable to shoot with that LOP. However, I can't work the bolt rapidly with the rifle at my shoulder and maintain sight picture with that LOP. I am working...

As I mentioned in my intro thread, It's time for me to get serious about hunting Africa, with the main goal being buffalo. This will be a couple year process, and for me the first step is selecting the rifle. I have owned three 416 Remingtons. One built on a Rem 700, one built in a CZ 550...

This looks like a great site! I have been around hunting/shooting forums for 26 years. I don't yet recognize anyone here but there must be some who are familiar with me, for better or worse. I decided it's time to get serious about Africa. I have been wanting to hunt Africa for at least 20...
