My favorite medium caliber
Custom Dorleac&Dorleac Technical rifle in 300 weatherby made by my brother Joel Dorleac.
The gun that aloud me to shoot Marco Polo at 645m, croc, leopard, red deer, mouflon, tones of plains game… everything was down in less then 20 m
Unfortunately it’s my son gun now… afther he shot a huge kudu bull and an oryx bull at 270m at only 13 years…

Nice rifle. How does the "can" work.
I'm not up to speed on these. Lower velocity, how much sound suppression, accuracy?
 
Bet it is interesting for the tracker and PH when that thing goes off with the muzzle brake mounted. Does it have a cap for hunting without the brake or can?

With the can it’s like a 22lr as noise and recoil.
Precision? I can put 3 bulets in a 3 cm circle at 300 m. For me is enough.
I had never mesured speed and pression.
Off course there is a difference when shooting with the muzl3brake. 20 cm lower with the silencer.

I have seen several rifles your brother has made. He is a true artist!
 
My allround is a máuser M12 in 338wm with a Leica 1.5-10x42
@homeless
As good as the little 338WM is supposed to be I will stick with my 35 Whelen at the same velocities as the little 338.
If I want more oomph a 310gn Woodleigh RNSP or solid at 2,455fps should get the job done on bigger stuff at closer ranges.
For reach out and smack em down the 225gn Woodleigh or accubond at 2,900fps is plenty good enough.
Weight range from 180gn to 310gn covers everything from mouse to as big as I want to hunt.

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe

Hi Walden. Good morning from England, Chris here (The Englishman!) from Croatia. Firstly it was a pleasure to meet you and Michelle - a fellow Sanderson! I have finally joined AH as I enjoy it very much. Glad you enjoyed the hunt and your write up which I read on AR was very good indeed. I am sending on WhatsApp pics from Bojan of some of the animals hunted recently. Take care and best regards. CS.
