Welcome from rural Idaho!Howdy.
I joined the forum because there is some really great information here for all aspects of Africa Hunting.
I am a hunter, target shooter, reloader, and wildcatter. My handle ".30 Hembrook" is the name of my Wildcat. It is a .308 caliber, based on the 9,3x64 Brenneke case. Typical loads with 165-180-200 grain bullets put it in the 3300, 3100, 2900fps range respectively.
I had Dave Manson create the reamer, McGowen the barrel, and fitted it to a Dumolin Mauser action. I took it to the Karoo in South Africa this year and as you would expect it performed nicely on game.
I have had a couple other Safaris in South Africa and Namibia.
Glad to be a part of this community!
