Work-up to May 2023, SA plains game

Final update. Basically a week away now. Rifle and scope are dialed in. Off sticks at 100 yds. I'm managing 3" groups or so which is a dead animal by all accounts. I'm happy, I'm confident. I've probably put over 100 rds off the sticks of 300WM at this point which is enough to make me confident at that range. I've learned so much about the rifle, ammo, and myself.

I remember 2 years ago when this was just sort of a pipe-dream. Time went on, things came together. Now we are 7 days away. Granted, the clock feels like it has stood still for these last days.

Hopefully my next post will be reporting my success and a good trip over in the reports forum. Thank you to everyone for all the help!
Best wishes ! Keep us posted. We're all going hunting with you you know.

Will do. 2 days away now.

The wait is like being strapped to a lawn chair, watching grass grow, with the paint on your house drying.
 
Enjoy it hope time flies untill you land here in Joberg.
 
Good luck, I’m still a few weeks out.
 
I'm back and to say the experience was amazing is putting it lightly.

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!
