Very nice! I think that you definitely used "enough gun"!:devilish: I still want to shoot like you when I grow up! 😎 It is amazing how accurate the 416s can be; my Taylor will put 3, 350 gr TSXs into 0.400" @ 100 yards at 2415 fps with 69.0 gr of Re-15. 3 more grains should get me to 2503 fps...

I too went with the Garmin after years of using a Chrony. Best investment I have made in shooting in a long time. Love it!

With the bullets and weights mentioned, not sure you would need more freebore...but if you were to play with the heavier Bergers, you might want it. But I think that you will be very happy with the performance of the 150-165 gr bullets with a normal chamber in your barrel, both in velocity...

The 30-30 will do what you are looking for just fine. (And yes, there have been many Canadian moose harvested with the 30-30 over the decades, along with bear and antelope.) It is a fun rifle and cartridge to shoot and hunt with! The WInchester 94 is a little sleeker and lighter than the...

Hope you have a great adventure!

All I can is that the hand of God was over me as that Land Cruiser rolled over me, and that he was also taking care of Susan so that she wasn't ejected from the vehicle during the rollover, or that any part of her had gone out the window where it could be crushed during the incident. We are...

Emergency staff looked at both Susan and I, but after X-Rays, only told Susan that she had broken ribs, could do not much to help her and discharged her. Her condition worsened over night, and Ters took her to her own Dr the next morning, who immediately sent her back to emergency to another Dr...

After the photo session and loading the blesbok into the back of the Land Cruiser the PH decided to take us up the mountain to look for an eland. We were travelling up the trail to the road that wound around the mountain, and spun out on all the loose, large rock on the trail right where we...

The next day we continued to hunt for my missing eland bull, with no success, but again found the eland herds on our two stalks. And scout some for Susan's white blesbok. Susan got to see the big lions at the neighbouring concession, and we also got to see mouflon and vaal rhebok during our...

The following day was spent continuing to look for eland, without any luck finding the targeted bull. We did se a few steenbok. Cool little antelope! That ight we went out on the night hunt for Susan's jackal and caracal. We got her into the night shooting chair in the back of the hunting...

On the following day we continued to hunt most of the day for that elusive eland bull, with no finding of him,. although we had 2 successful stalks to get close to the eland herds. Such majestic animals. We did see more game everywhere we went including a very nice nyala with a herd of cows, and...

The next day wass the day that I reported above on Susan finally getting her black wildebeest. Another great day in the field! We saw Mountain reedbuck, and Mountain zebra. We were hunting the other concession where I had gotten my bontebok, where the landowner wanted a certain old eland bull...

As the the rifle appeared to be hitting lower than expected, we decided to go back to the range to reverify the zero after dropping the black springbok off at the skinning shed. As we were coming down the road to the shooting range, we spotted the red lechwe ram we had been chasing for 3 days...

And a little later on that third day, we went looking for my copper and black springbok. We tried an area on the main concession that had a couple of herds of springbok, including black, copper, white and common colour varieties. We snuck along the creek bed for a ways to keep out of sight from...

It was on the third day of our hunt when i finally got some shot opportunities! but I must be honest, I wasn't worried or frustrated as we were having aa great time seeing lots of game, seeing some great country, and enjoying or time with the PHs and other hunters in camp (a father/son from...

Our first day hunting included the trip to the range where we sighted in Haardus' LH Rem 700 in 308 Win for Susan to use on her hunt. As I would be hunting different animals in different locations, I sighted in the RH Sako AV in 270 Win. We drove around mostly the first day scouting for our...

So we began our trip to Koranna Mountain Safaris on May 9th, driving from our home in NE BC, to my daughter's just outside Edmonton, Alberta. (8 hour drive) We boarded the first leg of the flight at noon (Edmonton to Calgary) and then flew to Amsterdam via KLM airways. (over 9 hours between the...

Well, Susan and I finally made it back to Canada yesterday! A little extra unplanned adventure on our trip resulted in 5 weeks in the hospital in Bloemfontein, South Africa. (Motor vehicle accident while hunting on our last day of the trip. Thank God for keeping us from being more seriously...

I would replace the factory recoil pad with a LimbSaver pad and reduce the load to about 2300-2350 fps to produce a softer recoiling cartridge and rifle combo, that will also enhance penetration characteristics for a soft bullet. This will be better as it won't change the balance and handling...

Been watching the weather for Excelsior in the Free State too…same results. Were advised to bring waterproof footwear now too. Are enroute; flying out of Edmonton tomorrow at noon. Have a great trip!
