On a recent Cape Buffalo/PG hunt with Pawprint Safaris in South Africa, I took a nice buffalo with my Winchester 70, 416 Rem Mag and Swift A Frame bullets. The load drove the 400 grain bullets to around 2325fps. It was a frontal shot at approximately 75 yards. This load is very mild in my rifle, but did a great job! I also took 7 more animals with my Kimber 375 H&H with factory Federal Premium 300 grain Swift A Frame ammo. All one shot kills, except for the Waterbuck, which I gave an insurance shot, just before he was going down. These bullets gave wonderful results, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Also a huge thanks to Pawprint Safaris for a great hunt!

Can't complain about those results.
 
Great animals!

Congratulations on a very successful hunt.
 
Excellent bullet performance on one fine buffalo! I really like those deep curls!
All very good looking trophies! That impala looks exceptional! Very handsome!
Congratulations! I guess you’re a little sad to be back?
 
I have used the Swift A-Frames for PG in 338win mag, 257R, 257W and 30-06 all with excellent results and nice bullet expansion.

Thanks! Yes, the reality of going back to work is sinking in now!

Can’t wait to try my 180 gr A-Frames out of 300wsm in Namibia 2020.

Great hunt, thanks for the report.
 
Looks like great bullet expansion. Congrats on some nice trophies.

Toby’s buffalo in the back of the truck headed to camp.
 
Man, you got some nice trophies. Congrats on a very successful hunt. That Toy looks like it's loaded down pretty good. So when are you going back, to Africa, not work? :D
 
Yep, definitely a serious infection of safarisafricanus multa. :LOL::LOL:
 
Nice. Congratulations on your hunt. I'm sure that you're planning on an encore appearance.
I'm also a 416 Remington fan and enjoy it. Though decidingly over gunned, I just shot two woodchucks with it, just to stay safari ready.

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
