    I need a "Use Enough Gun" Gun. Suggestions?

    Well, OP already acquired a 416, so at least the first decision has been made. Could not agree more! While I love the 375 - it is a medium bore. In a tough situation I would wager no DG PH in Africa would make it his go to. Best of luck on all of those hunts! (And what a lucky man to have a...

    Cutting Edge Bullets. ...and used the same powder charge (RL22) as the Swift Scirocco. Had great luck with these in other calibers, have not used the 300 on game.

    6.5 PRC load

    What powder do you have? 130 Swift /RL26 is my go to. Speed and accuracy. 140 Speer Gold Dot over RL26 was my most accurate. 142 ABLR was good with RL26, too. Plus 124 Hammer, 120TTSX/H1000,,,all work in 2 different rifles. Best powders have been RL26, N570, H1000, H4831sc

    404 Jeffrey Brass

    While I have seen brass as low as $4, most times (when you can find it) they are asking $7-8 each. Factory Hornady ammo can be has for ~$7.50 ea. The real plus - the bonded is good ammo.

    Texas Nilgai - Rifle choices

    Great excuse to use the 375. Not a hunt where your PH is going to back you up. Still, use a quality bullet. If he turns to run you might want a lot of penetration. Take a lot of ice chests. Best of luck!

    Which 450 NE ammo for buffalo...factory loaded Hornady DGX (non-bonded) or handload w/ Woodleigh Weldcore RN SN?

    If you have the speeds you need from those Woodleighs, quit fretting, go hunting. The DGX bonded shoot exactly the same poi as the non-bonded for me. Use the non-bonded for practice only. Have a great trip!

    375 H&H - DGX/DGS or TSX?

    DGX bonded is a good bullet. As is TSX & Swift. Buffalo won't care which one. North Forks if you can roll your own.

    Opinions on the real big boys? 500J, 505 Gibbs, .500 NE, 577NE, 600NE, 700NE etc.

    The 500J @ 12lbs proves to be 'within reasonable recoil limits' shooting 570gr bullets. Note that it is never fired off the bench, only standing off sticks. Accuracy is just fine with a RMR sight.

    Thoughts on Kimber 8400/84/89 series rifles?

    For me, the Kimbers have demonstrated good accuracy, reliable feeding, and dependability. Wood stocked, they are a nice looking rifle for the money. I would not hesitate to buy more of them.

    Blaser transit cases, are they airport proof?

    Not sending a Negrini thru luggage and expecting to get all of the rifle back. But, Americase used to make an aluminum case the negrini will fit in. Serves as a tough outer shell.

    Limited experience says a 300gr Core-Lokt from a 375 will make them dead quickly. Surely a 400gr will make them deader quicker. Have fun
