Hi all,

I'd appreciate any thoughts or recommendations on selecting a bullet to work up a load for a croc hunt on Cahora Bassa along with various plains game. I'm initially looking at the following Barnes bullets:

Tipped TSX 250 grain
LRX 270 grain
TSX 270 grain
TSX 300 grain

Thanks!
 
Yikes! In that cartridge I would use the 300 grain for sure. You want something that will hold together and not explode.

Is there a big difference in the skull of a croc
And alligator?
I know there is in temperament.

Hello there. I’ve been wanting to introduce myself personally & chat with you about hunting Nilgai. Give me a call sometime…

Best,

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
