African Dangerous Game Cartridges - Pierre van der Walt

I am looking for a copy of this book also, see some correspondence from Shakari Connection which may be of assistance to others.
Unfortunately postage charges of up to $240AUD makes for an expensive book for me.

I have the ebook as well. For the most part a great resource but I could not make any sense of what he said about the Weatherby double radius shoulders resulting in a case that are "prone to splits across the shoulder and neck". Certainly not my experience nor those of my friends who shoot with Weatherby cases.

His study of terminal performance of various types of bullets is certainly the most comprehensive that I have read. I was shocked that unless a bullet shortens dramatically upon entering game the physics say it will most likely flip! Bullets that don't shorten are called "solids" so it was especially shocking in a dangerous game context. Enlightening!

I guess that is why modern solids now have a flat or concave nose.

For me, Ebooks for things like this are the way to go, at least until I’ve read it once and decided if I want to spend the big money on a hardback copy. The copy for my Kindle was $9.99 (same as the other high dollar safari books). Only downside is that the tables are blurry.
 
Good book and a constant reference for me. I also have the African Medium Game Cartridges book by PVDW... also useful.

So do I, great books
 
If it works out and can be arranged, I would be interested in all of the above books if someone manages to be in a situation to bring some to the US. I know I won’t be going to Africa this year. I’m optimistic I can get there in 2023, but it may not be that soon either.
I have 7 hard back copies

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John buzzardhilllabs@hotmail.com

Out of all the different color variations of Impala the black Impala just stands out with its beautiful pitch black hide.

Impala is one of the animals you will see all over Africa.
You can see them in herds of a 100 plus together.

This excellent ram was taken with one of our previous client this past season.
