Congratulations on your successes. It appears you are having a great hunt in Africa.

The 375 Ruger is a lot of rifle. It should serve you well in Africa.

Exceptionally beautiful!

Yes, I have used 150 gr, BT's in the 7mm RM with Reloder 23 and achieved excellent accuracy and great terminal performance on whitetail deer. I have also use 150 gr. ABLR's in the 7mm WSM with Reloder 23 with similar accuracy and terminal performance on whitetail deer. During fire forming I...

Ernie, I think there are several things that contribute to the results I have seen with these two bullets: The jacket is thinner than the AB's in the area of ogive (requiring less force to start engraving). The long tangent ogive of the bullet results in a more gradually engagement of the...

Ernie, although most people have good results with longer jumps, I have had some good results with about 0.030" jumps with the ABLR. Specifically, 0.030" jumps with the 129 gr. ABLR in the 6.5 Creedmoor, and the 150 gr. ABLR in the 7mm WSM. I can provide targets if you like. I also have an...

Good assessment, Guy. It is amazing how conditions and things change over time. Once I thought I had the perfect combination of rifle and cartridge (for deer hunting), but then I had nerve damage to my shooting eye and had to switch to left-handed shooting. That sure changed things and...

That is a fine combination. I really like the 300 WSM and have shot a couple of elk with the 180 gr. AB.

Very nice. Good shooting and load workup.

I know from personal experience that fence wouldn't have stopped that bull had he any real motivation to get on the other side of the fence. I had an angus bull CALF run right through a three-strand electric fence one morning when I was trying to get the cows in.

Looks very encouraging for taking a nice buck.

Wow. I would hang that target on the wall!

A unique experience, for sure.

Congratulations on ALL of the game you have taken on this hunt.

Congratulations on a fine trophy.
