As of this date I have taken whitetail, elk, and moose with both my .300 savage and .358 winn in Savage 99s. I'm not to worried about temperature as the places that I hunt in my home state of Texas average 100° in the summer, the temperature in South Africa where I would hunt is comparable

I will accept any and all load data that you happen to have.

Thank you sirs for your responses. Thank you Sandman for the load data!

I've just picked up a Savage 99 in .358 win, does anyone hunt with this round? If so what loads and ranges did you use it in? Also would this be a fesable round for African plains game

Has anyone used this in Africa? I've used a .300 savage on whitetail, mule deer, and a small bull elk. I think it would be a decent cartridge for plains game up to Gemsbok, maybe a wildebeest.

Beautiful bobcat. I've only seen two in my area with no shot

Yes sir, I'll be at HSC come January.

I'm in Orange Tx as of now. I lived in Baytown until six years ago

Lol. Quite true

Good find! Its always interesting to find these gems.

I'm with Skinner on this. It doesn't apeal to me

That's in my neck of the woods, less than 5 mins from the plant I work at. The gators are agressive because people are feeding them, so the gators have no fear of people. Several have attacked at the peir, and follow boats as they fish. Every few years we hear of someone loses a hand while...

CZ 550fs in 9.3x62 and a Merkel .450-.400 would be my pick!

Congradulations! I hope to have one as nice in a few years.

Iridium 9555 with basic 60 plan is what I use when traveling.

As I have yet to make there, buffalo will be my first, followed by a lion on the next trip.

Has anyone hunted at the Lonesome Bull Ranch in Texas? I have an opertunity to hunt there in a few months and was wondering if it's a quality show. Everything I've read so far has been good, just wanted to know if anyone here has personal experiance with this ranch.

Thanks guys. We'll be looking at several rifles in Houston tomorow

I've used this rucksack for several years now, and it has held up just fine on the many hunts and camping trips I've made.

Welcome Texas Gator. There sure is a lot of us on here!

Spike.t, it is a .223 using barnes vortex 55gr tsx ammo. She has taken deer out to 150 yards cleanly

Thanks guys. We are going to look this weekend for her rifle. This will be her first bolt gun as she normally uses an ar15 for hogs, sheep, and whitetail.

It would be for my wife to use as she is not comfartable with the recoil on the rifles that I have

I have a .300 win mag that I'm going to take on my plains game hunt. I would like to buy a rifle to take smaller game with, what do y'all recomend?

I'll have to swing by and have a chat with your people

Sounds like the .300 wm is my best bet. I've thought about buying a 6.5x55 to compliment it, but some of the places I would eventually like to hunt have a 7mm minimum

I'm in Orange, Tx at the moment. I was transfered from Houston a few years ago by the plant I work for

I have a Cz 550fs in .270 and a Winnchester m70 .300 wm. What do y'all think of this combo for the small 10 up to Kudu? Any factoy loaded ammo that I should look at for my hunt?

No I haven't settled on an outfitter just yet. I'm going to do a basic plains game package with Gemsbok probably being the largest. Just getting my feet wet before I plan a 20+ day hunt in a few years

New guy here. I've lurked around for awile before deciding to join, enjoying the great information posted on here. Looking forward to gleaning more info as I plan my first plains game hunt in South Africa. Thanks in advance.
