A fine specimen. By all means, give us a synopsis (or a full blow-by-blow) of the hunt. You undoubtedly worked for him.

The rifle is a Tang Safety Ruger M77 in 338win using 225gr Swift A-Frames and 71gr of IMR4350 and a Fed215 primer loaded 3.296" OAL for 2834FPS and SD9. The rifle has had the action and bit forward glass bedded using Ruger low rings and a 2X10 Leupold VRX scope with a duplex reticle and a lighted dot. It shoots clover leaf groups at 100yards and my longest shot was 287yards on a Kudu bull. It has taken quite a few animals in the USA and Africa. This is the recovered bullet after breaking a shoulder traveling thru the chest cavity and breaking the last rib on the far side. It was an almost facing me shot.
