Good day: I am from South Africa and grew up farming - still have not kicked the bad habit. I shoot a .416 Rem Mag Winchester Mod 70 ( Portuguese build) topped with a Leica 1 -6.3 illuminated. I really do think the Leica scopes are up there with the best. I have hunted in South Africa , Namibia and Zimbabwe and dangerous game wise have hunted buffalo, hippo and a tuskless. For the buff and hippo I used 400 gr Barnes TSX and the tuskless Swift Breakaways all in front of Varget. Cheers

Welcome aboard Beefeater. You've already taken more dangerous game than most of us. What is on your "docket" for future hunts? What part of South Africa are you from? Where do you normally hunt?
I am pretty hooked onto buffalo. I hunted 2 buffalo in the Eastern Cape with Lalapa Safaris which were great experiences. The hippo (on land) I hunted last year in Gache Gache on lake Kariba with Tinie Kok who operates MJk Safaris and followed it up this year with a buff / tuskless in Makuti with Tinie again. Busy talking to Tinie about 2024. I have three young sons so they are shooting up the plains game budget in South Africa now .
Something I would love to do in SA is bushpig with dogs in Natal or the Eastern Cape. Other hunts that interest me are dwarf forest buffalo , giant forest hog and yellow back duiker.

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
