Second choice is the 300gr tsx . . . Your mtn reedbuck is a heavy old ram, I’ve not shot one yet and he made me drool!

Yes there is quite a lot of favorable opinion on Barnes. I saw quite a few Reed bucks yesterday, thought about taking another but my bad wind call kinda shook me.

JD the consensus is the swift Aframe, 4of the nine offered there is no second choice others offered the Partition would be a good second choice

Thanks for asking Don. Everything I have read on the 375 H&H for Cape Buffalo points to the Swift A Frame closely followed by the Barnes TSX.

These guys kill so much game from small Antelope to waterbuck, kudu and eland. We've an apprentice in camp, college age kid. He's already guided 27 kudu, 1/2 dozen eland and doesn't really know many Impala and spring bok. He's also killed several Buffalo and a couple of elephants hunting with his dad.
People we know here talk about too much gun, these PH really talk about use enough.
Certainly my 300h&h is enough gun for Mountain Reebok, Springbok and Impala. 180 Accubonds are certainly up to the challenge. Surprisingly little damage to the carcass. The combination however made up for my bad wind call, with just enough quartering I also got into the far lung.

Nyala down before lunch!

excellent Nyala and a zebra to boot. That is a good morning.

Found quite a few kudu bulls this morning, good age class bulls but nothing to eclipse my first one. Finally put the sneak on one but he managed to elude us.finally shot a pig. The 300 HH has worked just fine. We're going into a little valley this afternoon one last chance on a Kudduv

Congrats on your Warthog. Good luck finding a Kudu in the valley.

Today was a great day!
Nyala in the morning and Kudu this evening. Yesterday’s Zebra was an all day affair. She turned just as I touched off the trigger. We didn’t get her until late afternoon. The PH, and two Trackers/Skinners.
The Nyala went about two steps and the Kudu ran about twenty yards. Not to worry though the Zebra made everyone earn their pay.

Congratulations on some magnificent animals.

That's a wrap. We spent 1/2 hour watching a good bull kudu this afternoon. He wasn't going to break 50 inches so I finally lowered my rifle and we slipped off. I hadn't planned on Kudu this trip any way, unless he was huge.
The trip was fantastic can't say enough about this outfit.

Very solid examples of Kudu and Nyala Vince. You did well.
