    Boots-different brands

    It’s not people in the know. Their main distributor in the US is Africa Creations who are excellent if you are trying one of their mass produced boots. Mine was ordered outside them directly through Courtney with them knowing I would be in Zim to pick them up

    FPS for Reliable .500NE Expansion

    Your gun should have been regulated at 2150 FPS which is what my two were. I have had zero problems with TSX or DGX Bonded at all and neither have people I respect due to their experience and again my own. Are you I recommend IMR3031at 80 grains to achieve this with 570 grain bullets

    450 NE reloading data

    Given I have a Rigby 450 NE DR, I ran Quick Load for you. Attached are the readouts for both 140 and 160 powder. Please note the following: I did not have the 485 grain so I used the 500 grain bullets. The 160 was the clear winner to me given I could get 2082 FPS with almost a 95% fill rate...

    Where have your failures been with your doubles?

    The only issue I have ever had with the 8 DRs that I have owned was with my Merkle. The sear that prevents double firing broke. In my follow up research I found while this is a great feature of the brand, the sear breaks quite often. I immediately sent it to JJ Perodeau who easily fixed it.

    Rifle/ammo failure on Elephant

    I feel sorry for the guy but I could not help thinking a grenade would have been better in his hands than his DR. I watched all the shots where the bullet impact was apparent…it is very clear he just kept missing the correct kill zone starting with his first shot which was way too low on the...

    Ideal/preferred cartridge on species

    Great post! The 375 H&H will easily take all but my 404J would be my ideal choice for all of them. However, where is the fun in that? I would take my DR in 450 NE for the buffalo and the brown bear. The rest would still be my 404J.
