For the Kalahari experience you won't go wrong with @DE KLERK SAFARIS large track of land and if you like you can start stalking from the camp/lodging you will be staying at and never see the whole place.
Welkom Chris,
Had a quick look at your website lot of good info there quick question do you cater for local South African hunters also or just international clients?
As to the original question yes the 500 Jeff with 570gr leaves more lasting impressions on game than the 458 Lott with 500gr bullets.
But you need to be able to handle them and still hit your target.
I must say you will be looking very far and wide for someone else than @DWB who can work a bolt fast and hard, so far he has had no feeding issue with his 500 Jeff built by a proper smith and on a magnum action. His 450 Rigby and 404 Jeff from recolection has had feeding issues that has been...
I just love my Lott a Lott more. Older thread but the Lott just keeps doing what the Lott must do sending 500gr bullets from 2250fps (softs) to 2300fps (solids) in my rifle.
Congrats on a thumper you can do what a 458 Lott can do on a mild load or you can even chase 460 Weatherby.
Then if you really feel like having enough gun there is the option of 600gr bullet at 2300fps or more. :ROFLMAO:
Thats breaking the 7000 ftl/lbs mark !!!!
Hope you can easily find...
I think that the build of a 500 Jeff has two purposes one is wanting one and one is using one and I fully agree and seen enough 500 Jeff's on our BASA Big Bore ranges. A std action will work but will need more work on the feeding and in the end the longer magnum action just does it better...
Over the course of last week I missed DWB's birthday so I bumped into something at the shop that we both quite enjoyed last wee at the Big Bore shoot in KZN.
Thank you guys like I said I had buck fever, have not had buck fever in a long time it was a special animal with special area and people. It will take a honour spot between my other trophies I am going to do a Euro skull mount only no plaque as it saves wall space.
All of my other trophies are...
Last year when helping to build a BASA big bore range here in KZN midlands plans were made for a return shoot and also an invitation to have a crack at a proper common reedbuck past breeding age. Well this has come to pass!
First up a video of last years Big Bore shoot just for the hell of it...
I am a Belgian living in South Africa and am tottaly South African by now but its in my blood and genes to know what is good beer so I am fond of properly crafted beer and not a big fan of light water beer.
With that said a can of Windhoek draught always goes down well as its cheap and...
Geez guys, I didn't know it was that tough out there I'm still trying to spend away my 100 Trillion dollars there isnt any hunts out there that comes close to diminishing my pool as the interest earned just keeps piling on. :ROFLMAO:
Celebrating life and lit one up at 10 am on Saturday morning to make traditional potjie basically a stew cooked for 4 hours on fire in cast iron pot.
This Potjie consisted of Wildebeest neck and kudu came out to perfection I blame the cigar for letting this happen as I relaxed and enjoyed...
