Going for some trophy Springbuck (springbok). They are so flighty...Like squirrels on crack.
Going for the regular colored ones and the odd colored ones
Impala
I have always like the look of the impala.
Then, I will hunt some of the animals in my package deal.
A trophy Gemsbok or a exceptional...
South Africa
Big Waters Safari
Plains animals
I have hunted with them before. True fair chase hunting. Spot and stalk and still hunting. No shooting from vehicles or blinds.
You are going to cover a lot of ground each day.
Large piece of property-See Below...
I will.
I am not sure who is really coming with me yet.
Surgery's and life have pushed the time frame down the road.
You want to come Guy? I have plenty of XP's (Thinking my 308 Winchester XP-100 for you), and you have some nice revolvers 😇
The PRC and WSM should run 130 grain & class bullets around 2900-3000 fps in sub 16" barrels.
I have typically ran 18" barrel in these chamberings, so time will tell
Still have not set dates yet, but I plan to take a small group of folks (All handgun hunters) to South Africa in the Summer of 2026.
I took a 357 Mag revolver and a problematic XP-100 last time which created all kinds of headaches (The XP), despite good success.
Next year, there will be no Bog...
Congrats!
I am all in for a .473 head size case (308 Family/Creed Family/30-06 Family, etc...) in the Encore.
If you think I am against a 280, 280AI, 35 Whelen, 338-06, etc... in the Encore, you would be wrong.
My warning was for magnum boltfaces, where you reload them to max, assuming you have...
It depends how far down the rabbit hole you want to go :) 😇
Now, I anneal after every firing.
There was a time when I never annealed...
Even when I didn't anneal, I had some pretty good accuracy at short and at LR.
It makes your brass more consistent and malleable.
SAAMI is just a number in some ways.
The real key is what your chamber and fired brass actually measure.
Try bumping 1.5 thou from your fired measuring and see how the bolt closes
Try it again a a 2 thou total bump and see if it is any difference.
With Rem's, I take the firing pin assembly out...
