Hello everyone.

I am UK and UAE based. I have been rifle hunting since early 90s and in that time I have been lucky to have a few hunting trips to Africa under my belt, mostly in Zim, but Moz and Namibia firmly on my radar. I have travelled around Africa quite a bit for work, mainly the unpleasant parts.

I also do a fair bit of deer stalking in the UK: Red, Sika, Fallow, Roe, and Muntjac. Around 75-100 animals/ p.a. as work allows.
I shoot a 6.5x55, 7x57, 9.3x62, and a 375H&H, and I reload for all these.

Also a keen flyfisher, foodie, and classic car enthusiast.

Looking forward to increasing my knowledge and contributing from time to time.

Welcome from another uk member.
Nice choice of calibres.

What classic cars have you had or have?
I sold my mk2 golf GTI (modern classic) a few years ago and I'm getting the feeling it may be done for another.

Hello
I currently have a 1970 MGB in British Racing Green. It is a joy to drive, despite the British weather.

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
