Working on some loads for the next trip to Africa in Oct...416 Rem and 22 Hornet with 45 grain X bullets...hope I can handle the wicked little Hornet!

Working on a batch of .44 Mag. After that, it will be some 7mm IHMSA for the XP-100.

Not exactly stuff you'd likely use in Africa, but it's fun to diversify a bit. :)
 
Loaded up a bunch of 300 win mag I have excellent load data for.
Also worked up some more loads for my .375 that I’m working on getting dialed in so both TSX and solids are similar in energy and have extremely close impact out of my rifle.

Not Today, this past weekend loaded 50 x 500gr Impala bullet solids in my 458 Lott to add to the others in the box to be used at our big bore shoots.

I go through about 200-250 rounds per year on these shoots very good practise.

I would crimp that 22 hornet that recoil in the magazine could be ferocious. :ROFLMAO:
 
For me summertime is the time to shoot the loads that I did over winter.

This past winter I loaded up 5,000 40 S&W, 1,000 .357 mags, 1,000 .44 mag, 500 41 mags, 200 25-06, and a few odds and ends.

Sad to say this put a dent in my component stockpile but I still have enough for 1 more years run.
 
I reloaded a P-Mag yesterday while testing an AR that I recently aseembled; does that count? ;-)

I need to get back on the bench soon and finish working up a ladder for my 375 H&H that is in-progress, as well as get out and test of ladder of 308 Norma Magnum that is sitting on the bench. I might as well do another round of 25-06 and 7x57 while I'm at it.
 
Sure it counts, why not? :)

308 Norma mag isn't one you hear much about. How do you like it?
 
I loaded some 270 Winchester ammo yesterday for an upcoming deer hunt in september.

Cases = R-P
Bullet = 130 grains Hornady SP Interlock
Primer = Winchester Large Rifle
Powder = 60 grains of Alliant RL22
3.235" OAL
Where's your deer hunt?
 
GFs gas/e-z pass account. Considering reducing the overall length of this arrangement...
 
Anticosti Island, Quebec.

I'm a Quebecer :)
That seems like an interesting hunt from what I've read. There are lots of deer hunts in little places that would be fun to gather up the experiences of them. Would make for an interesting book as well.
 
.264 Winchester. Leaving in a few hours for a California Pronghorn hunt that starts tomorrow. 40+ years of applying for this tag and finally getting to go.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
