    Auction Hunt in Africa?

    Outfitters operating in the Niassa Special Reserve, Mozambique

    I like Tracks Across Africa too. I do have Kambako on my list (under Chapungu-Kambako). I saw an episode of Blue Collar Adventures that featured a Niassa hunt with Kambako. Their lodge does look good.

    Bullet pullers help please

    Hi Rare Breed, First you will need a RCBS Standard Bullet Puller (RCBS part # 9440). Then you need to use the properly sized bullet puller collet. The caliber (bullet diameter) of your 450/400 should be 0.405" and am not sure which collet to recommend. You will either need the .40 caliber...

    Leopard Follow Up and Charge

    My thoughts as well. Rifle is chambered in 375 H&H. Leopards are solidly built but I would not refer to them as stout. A 375 slug should have gone through. I would really like to see that bullet.
