My first Eland, a cow. Carcass weight was 177kg.

Hi guys! Ok so here is an update of the ammo! So it turned out all I could get was PMP 300gr Softs and Norma Oryx 300gr Soft Point. Very happy with the Norma which is all I used to hunt with. I learned the value of a neck shot regarding meat damage. The ammo performed very well in terms of...

Hi Alchemist, Will see what I can get hold of. I found 300gr Federal NP's and am probably going to go with them. I am also seriously contemplating the Hornady 300gr DGX.

Thanks Grumulkin The Remington's are not the Core Lokt unfortunately (as far as I know) but I will double check. My buddy only uses Core Lokt in his 7mm Rem Mag and has taken many animals including eland, wildebeest and kudu so I have faith in the Core Lokt. As for the Speer ammo, I cannot...

sandman0921, Thanks a stack for the video! Seems like a very easy fix for a heavy trigger. I believe we do have Timney's readily available in SA, my buddy put one on his .308 Remington. I personally do prefer a light trigger (my 8mm Mauser has a hair trigger!) so once I have put a few rounds...

I worked with the CZ 550 Magnum Standard and Delux models in .375 H&H and .458 Win Mag for many years when I was a Field Guide taking walking safaris. Walks were generally 3-4 hours at a time unless we were tracking lion or some other big and hairy. That could take longer then. The .375 comes in...

I managed to find Federal 300gr Soft Point ammo... Your thoughts gentlemen and ladies?

matt85, The website says it weighs 11 lbs which is about 4.98kg. Now I went and had a look at it a few weeks ago and it seemed lighter than that. Granted, I was so excited I couldn't take much in regarding weight and barrel length. :Happy: The Browning website doesn't say how long the barrel...

Man! I have never been on a forum where there were so many FRIENDLY folk around. Glad to see there are no or very, very few pissing competitions here among you guys. Good to see there are still people who respect each other and have a sense of diplomacy when there are differences in opinion. How...

The issue at the moment gents is what the suppliers have in stock. Many people swear by a 250gr bullet but no one has stock of factory stuff at this point. Will do Brickburn, need to get the license issue sorted first then shoot the barrel and scope in. Plan on photo-documenting every target as...

Thanks hunthardsafaris! So my suspicions were confirmed then regarding the PMP ammo. PMP do make African Elite but haven't found stock yet. I am slowly emailing various gun shops around the Johannesburg area to see their stocks and prices so I will keep searching. That kudu looks just plain...

Thanks K-Man. I had a look at the specs on the Browning North America website and wondered about their recoil. The weapon seems light... I have topped it with Warne bases, Warne QD rings and a Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 scope.

Hi guys, Ok so I have purchased a Browning A-Bolt Hunter II in .375 H&H Mag and am undecided and downright confused regarding choice of ammo. I am hoping the opinions of the great minds out there can help. We unfortunately don't have the fantastic variety of ammo in South Africa that some of...

Hi guys, Just a few questions regarding the Browning A-Bolt Hunter II in .375 H&H Mag Has anyone had any problems with this specific brand/calibre combo. If so, what were they and how did you remedy them? I have recently bought one in Pretoria, South Africa and have scoured the internet to...

Thanks guys! Have already been trying to familiarise myself with the threads and comments and update my profile etc. hunthardsafaris I bought a Browning A-Bolt II Hunter chambered in .375 H&H and topped it with Warne bases and Warne QD rings and a Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 scope :)

Hi everyone, I have finally managed to register and am looking forward to learning a lot and hearing about all the other folks experiences! I am a born and bred South African and a full blown bush lover by heart (ex Field Guide that worked 10 odd years in the industry). I am only just getting...
