Greetings everyone,
Just wanted to stop and say hi. I hunted plains game in Zimbabwe with Butch Walker back in ‘99 and then marriage, kids and life in general kept me hunting primarily stateside. Now I’m getting restarted on my African quests with a trip to SA this May, and then to Botswana in ‘27. I have long appreciated the insight and wisdom found in these pages and am happy to have finally joined the AH party. Thank you in advance for the help I will undoubtedly ask for!

Best of luck to everyone his year - stay safe and have fun.

Darin

Welcome to AH.
 
My dad left me two Browning Safari rifles, a .458 Win and a .375 H&H. Someone has worked over the .375 action and it’s butter-smooth. Really fun to shoot.

Here’s the .375:

Hello sir. A bit of waterfowling, yes. Mainly upland hunting as far as birds go but I love a good duck or goose hunt!
The Washington coast has been in my shrinking waterfowl bucket list!
Enjoy the forum!

Beauty! Your dad had great taste and I’ll bet you’re proud to have them. Two great chamberings too. I’m curious, does your 458 have the long (Mauser-style) extractor or the short push-feed style bolt? A very large % of the 458s I’ve handled have the push feed style bolt.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
