But can AI handle the recoil? ;D

Custom built on a Vektor Magnum Mauser action by Gerrie Coetzee in SA

I must say that I am also a lucky winner of a 500J that feeds as fast as I can swing the lever. @rookhawk it is interesting what you say about the nose profiles, I see the tendency here in Sunny SA nowadays is to keep the nose profiles the same across the weights and just add to the back end...

Ok, loaded it onto YouTube quick. As said, this is all just a fun comparison: Bit of a longer version:

Bit of a fun side by side comparison on the range :p

Don't worry, you guys and your inches and feet had me Googling as well :ROFLMAO: 1 Inch = 2.54cm 1 foot = 30.48cm So: 196cm = 6.43ft 200cm = 6.56ft 180cm = 5,9ft

Hahahaha, A bit of both I guess!!!! My biggest tree to date was that ones brother about 30m from it, and that was exactly (completely dead) 200cm on the stump. Then about 500m from there I felled another one of 180cm also completely dead.

Recently took down a 6'5" Euc for a client. Husqvarna 585 with 36" bar. Celebrated with a proper cigar.

@Frederik and I went down to KZN last weekend to host a full on BASA Big Bore Shoot for the guys down there... Fred turned 50 end of June and I had bought us proper big 7x70 Don Kiki Barber Poles for his bday which I unfortunately missed... So we had them down that side over a braai with our...

Cheers Gents. Having a Karen Berger AJ Fernandez 25yr Anniversary and some epic Talisker Dark Storm that @Frederik spoiled me with for my bday.

Questions to be asked: Why did and does WJ Jeffery use Magnum Actions? In my mind, the more time the short fat cartridge has to come into straight alignment before it enters the chamber the less chance it has of jamming up... My 500J is built on a Vektor Magnum Mauser action and that thing...

Managed to put a 6.5' tree down nicely last week and celebrated it with a Joya Nicaragua Black after reading so much of it on here.... The Joya nearly put me down nicely :D

Not bad for a Bday smoke!!!

You can speak to Guy at MRS Techniques in Pretoria

Man... Cigars and Peated Whisky has been a bloody deep rabbit hole.... "As I said to a mate of mine recently: He that smoketh cigars, drinketh the peaty whisky and shooteth big guns for fun..... Haseth no money for hunting " The likes of Kilkerran Heavily Peated and Argberg Uigeadail and...

I am not nearly clever enough to argue with anyone on this thread. But having experienced God's love in my life, I can only share what I have read very recently: Matthew 11:25-27 NLT [25] At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these...

Luckily here in South Africa, where Kevin visits frequently, we have loads of excellent options!

As far as we know and understand Rhino Bullets are no longer in production as of recent.

Save yourself the hassles and just get Spoor Bullet Company 535 or 570gr

4Deadhold in SA. Then you order the extra leg

I use those 5 legged sticks for load development with all my Big Bores up to and including 500J. I have shot some pretty damn nice groups with it. Congrats on the purchase Uncle K!

Indeed you are correct!!! I missed that one!!! Thank you!

Thanks @VertigoBE this is basically a floating trophy, so every year the winner's name and caliber will be added to one of the smaller ones. Thus with this one we are good for the next 10 Years! All large bore WJ Jeffery Calibers are eligible namely 600NE, 500 Jeffery, 475 No2 & 404 Jeffery

Another angle on the cap! Drool on!!!

Good Day Everyone, I just want to reach out on this post and offer a massive THANK YOU to @W.J.JEFFERY & CO. I was approached by the Chairman of BASA (Big Bore Association of Southern Africa) a while ago and was asked if I would sponsor a trophy from our 404 group for the best 404 shooter of...

I know you can't all be in Africa all the time... But at least we're thinking of you.... PS: Note the Courteney cigar holder function... BLTC - Deliverance

Because some things are worth celebrating...

Safari Outdoor used to have a few Redding or RCBS sets floating around.

I buy via Warren from Cigarclub.co.za He is a private cigar purveyor. Will DM you his number.

You boys have been busy! Alec Bradley Chunk is a definite go to in my books! Short, fat and will knock you flat! Karen Berger Half Time (gets sold under a different name by us) Had a Don Kiki Brown label with @Frederik the other day that was an absolute creamy sensation. And then we also had...

You will be extremely happy! I have 4 of their belts!

Yesterday was a somber day on the road for me when @Frederik called with the news. @Dewald was a legend and we will sincerely miss him. All the best to his wife Sam (If I remembered correctly) and his brother Jaco. May God carry you in this time. The hunting and gun industry lost a good one...

My surname is also Brits and I just want to say we are not family nor do I know him :D

At BASA we use the Colin Patrick Charge Boxes. https://www.colinpatrick.co.za/training_products.htm

Had an Oliva series V Melanio yesterday, wife and kids in the pool while I was sitting beside a massive leadwood tree under the African sun....

I am going to absolutely lie to you if I try to compare anything, I do not have a sophisticated palate or great memory ;D

Had a CAO Arcana Thunder Smoke and Caol Ila again yesterday. What a smoke!!!

Very briefly interacted with him.a few times. Sure one of the other members will chime in. But brilliant actions and my 500 feeds as fast as I can swing that lever!

Casey Lewis of Vektor fame passed away last year. I bought my 500J barrel from him and then purely by accident got a Vektor Magnum DSB action for it!

The difference here is when things go wrong people get injured and die.... There is romance involved in all of this for many of us. And again, I take pride in having learnt to shoot my big guns. But each to his own.... I honestly do believe big animals don't react when incoming if there is no...

Welkom

This thread makes me sick to my stomach..... I have refrained from posting on it...... But I guess the art and commitment of learning how to shoot a big bore (bigger than 375 rifle) has again been replaced by getting things the easy way.... I firmly believe buffaloes or anything bigger does...

We had him at our BASA shoot this weekend. @Frederik has a bit more info and should be able to help get you some books directly from him

Well.... I am currently at 282lb.... I simply cannot roll with the recoil, I just don't know how... All I can do is man up and take it.... So I'd be pretty damn upset if anyone tells me I'm shooting puff loads But they are very welcome to find out for themselves. I also believe big guys...

I always say: Red dots are like open sights.... Just better!!!!

The 500 isn't a play gun.... It kicks, and even considering a suppressor makes me want to puke! Mine is 11lb, 22.75" barrel You learn to shoot it...

I enjoy those! Proper smoke!
