Since it’s close to my birthday I ordered ammo for my .416 Rem Mag today from Midway. I ordered the Buffalo Bore 416 Rem Mag 350 Grain Barnes TSX. My thinking is, I’m not a fan of monumental bullets BTW, I need velocity for the bullet to work properly so I dropped to the 350 grain bullet. That...

After much thought and consideration I’ve selected my .416 Remington Magnum Ruger No. 1 as my rifle of choice for Cape Buffalo. It’s my only single shot rifle and while I have another rifle suitable for Dagga Boys I really want to hunt them with every opportunity given to the Buffalo. I’ve got...

My in town carry gun is the Beretta M9A4G. This is the best Beretta 92/M9 version in my opinion. You have the option to mount an RDO as I have. The night sights are good for what they are. I’m not a fan of night sights since I’ve aged and no longer a young whipper snapper. All I see is a green...

I just learned that Randy Brooks, Barnes Bullets, passed away. Vince

I probably put this in the wrong place but I have two rifles I need to zero and being that they are harder kickers than my .338 Win Mag I was wondering how my weight to put in my lead sled? One is a .416 Remington Magnum and the other is a .375 Ruger. Neither has a muzzle brake. Vince

Since the cartridge has been around for twenty years when is Nosler going to release a 375 Ruger ammo option? It’s long past time that Nosler got onboard. They make ammo for Winchester and Remington cartridges so why not a Ruger cartridge? Vince

I’m going to take the brake off my 375 Ruger but I’m thinking of adding two or three pounds of lead in the butt of the stock. This is a hunting rifle that has more recoil than I care to deal with. Has anybody done this? What say you all? Vince

Arranging a Zimbabwe hunt for 2027 for one of these.

As I sit this morning in South Africa I’m recalling last night’s conversation about bullets and guns with the PH’s here. Like America there’s two schools of thought. Put the bullet in the right place and any animal is going down. The other school of thought is to use enough gun. The general...

One of my tickets hit. I won the whole bloody lottery! Called my employer and quit. Now I’m looking for a ranch manager and I’ll have him help me select a ranch to buy. Vince

Due to recent MVA and cardiac issues that have proven unfounded I changed my South African hunt to May 2026. Saw the cardiologist that put in my first stent and he cleared me to go back to work with no restrictions. Not having worked since October 26 and still moving slow I decided not to...

Had a vehicle accident this past weekend. Go into the hospital for stitches in my face and get told I need a pacemaker. Walked out because I’m asymptomatic and on meds to keep my heart rate down. This hospital is famous for unnecessary procedures so their Quacks In Training can get experience...

Since Delta is canceling flights willy nilly, and being that I’m flying over the Thanksgiving holiday I’ve opted to use one of my outfitter’s rifles. The last thing I want is to be stuck in a foreign country with a firearm. I’m flying through Paris on my way to Johannesburg. I don’t think the...

Why are Canadians not rising up and repelling this gun buyback? I know what I would do if an agent of the government attempted to steal my property. Why aren’t Canadians rising and telling your government, “No.” Curious as to the mindset that allows this subjugation and tyranny. Vince

Gunsmith called my 375 Ruger is done and ready to be delivered to me. I look forward to getting it back and seeing how it shoots. Maybe I’ll take it and the .338 Win Mag to Africa this year. Vince

Assuming they both shoot well enough in my rifle should I use the .338 Win Mag Norma Oryx or Hornady Outfitter for plains game? The Norma round is a bonded bullet and the Hornady is a mono metal bullet. I’m going for Kudu, Nyala, Gemsbuck, Zebra, Warthog, Impala, and Wildebeest. Vince

Just wondering what everyone feels after the shot is sent and the animal is down. For me it’s a bit of a letdown. I’m glad to take what I came for and appreciate the meat/trophy but I’m also sad. Sad that the quest is over and a return to the daily life is close at hand. Sad that the...

I’m through defending the rights of people that want to destroy this country. The bovine fecal matter at the “No Kings” rally, march, collective of mentally retarded idiots sealed the deal. No, I didn’t attend such stupidity I just had to commute past them. They tried to block my travel. I was...

Said goodbye to a man today that was a father figure, friend, employer, and confidant today. He was blessed that he made seven trips to Africa, hunted Dall sheep and musk ox, as well as mountain lions. Also hunted grizzly bears and moose. He was a big influence on me. I met him when I was in...

Made my down payment for a plains game hunt with Umlilo Safaris in South Africa. Planning on hunting in May 2026. Vince
